It’s taken about a week, but I am now fully out of my depressed funk following the election. I briefly entertained the notion of moving to Canada, but as it turns out, “you just can’t come into Canada and say ‘I’m going to stay here’. In other words, there has to be an application. There has to be a reason why the person is coming to Canada.” This is according to Canada immigration ministry spokeswoman Maria Iadinardi.
Why should we cede the country to the red states anyway? If we liberals leave, conservatives will be free to drill for oil using rigs powered by baby-seal souls, and kill gays. Did you know conservatives like to kill hoe-moe-seks-chuels? Seriously.
So we have to stay. And next election, 2006, we have to win. But how do we win the hearts of people who we can’t stand to even look in the eye anymore? I posed this to my friend Doug, and he pointed me to thisarticle, which is pretty good. It makes the point that we Democrats and liberals are essentially losing because we can’t articulate and package what we stand for in a way that appeals to middle America, which is not so much evil, as just kind of hard to get through to. Take a look and see what you think.
