Chavez,

We dont have a relationship with Chavez. But we will certainly be open to diplomatic solutions in issues globally. Given the fact that the red states will be closer to Chavez I doubt its really our problem.

and OPEC.

Well actually the left wing have been pushing for alternative fuel investment by the government. We oppose the Iraq oil war when the red states stood behind it. We advocated to cut loose from oil and look forward while the red states were howling "drill baby drill" so Im not sure where you come on OPEC in relation to the blue states. Lets not forget the majority of oil drilling in the US is in the red states, so you folks are most welcome to that.

They're really all very nice people.

You folks are welcome to visit anytime.

I was thinking Austin!

I knew it would be a Texan city!

I'm confused as to why the blue states get DC... Not that I want it, its a poophole and filled with idiots.

But the OP says that the blue states are leaving, so that would leave us to continue on as the US...

How about as part of this deal we leave DC on its own and let it rot?

This is good news to me.

I want to officially nominate Atlanta as the new Capital.

Since the blue states are leaving we get to keep the eagle as our country's bird.

There will be some sorting out to be done concerning sports. You may possibly get a visa for the games.

Happy days are here again.

I'm not speculating

If your not speculating then what are you doing? Predicting the future? If I were to assume that the south would bring back segregation, would I be speculating to you Becker?

By the way folks, the Hispanic population is spreading like wild fire down there I hope you folks can find to leave in peace. I for one welcome our hispanic american brothers.... Im just unsure they will recieved the same welcome in the good'ol red states.

Just some fun facts folks, by 2050 over half of texas will be none white. Maybe this will test the meaning of what it means to be Texan. Most hispanics are conservative though... although that never stopped discrimmination in the south.

Dear Blue States,

Can you leave today?

Sincerely,

Everyone

Im unsure though how you folks are going to manage to keep up half the world's military expenditure? President Obama already tried to lower the increase in military funding by $15 billion this year and the red states were all up in arms about guttin' the military

Keep up half of the worlds military expenditure? Why? Who cares?

Let the world police their own garbage.

You see, along with DC, you get the existing politicians and lobbyists and their idiotic activities.

We don't need em.

as far as reducing military expenditure by 15 billion?

That doesn't even touch the hundred or so billion in interest that has to be paid on the 600 billion in 'stimulus' money that is not even being used or disbursed. Now they want another 3/4 trillion in billionaire banker welfare so that wall street can stay solvent to screw us a little longer?

Yeah, I think I can see the difference in wisdom when it comes to spending 15 billion in existing funding for our troops, versus spending 1.5 trillion in heavy interest loans for programs to weaken the dollar and reinforce the socialist agenda.

You can keep Obama and his methods of 'saving' money for the blue states.
