DUmmy Taverner, a uni-browed pothead, a simian in both appearance and thought process, poses a serious question to his fellow DUmbasses. The thinking that follows is so deep and solemn, the silence is broken only by the gurgle of countless bongs:

How do we make the South blue?
And by that I don't mean sing them a sorrowful ballad (couldn't resist)
But seriously - how can we turn the South blue
I know there are a great deal of progressives, leftists and liberals there, but the truth is they are outnumbered by the conservatives.
More than just getting our guys to get out and vote will need to be done.
Hearts and Minds will have to be changed, attitudes will have to be re-shaped.
For example: to combat homophobia in the South, I think positive exposure will be our best weapon. How many folks here were homophobic in their youth, only to have that change when they actually met a homosexual? I'm in that camp.

This from a weird homo who posted a photo at the DUmp of himself clad only in jockey shorts.
Little doubt here that he's "in that camp".

1. If the federal government stopped sending them money
I think that would work.
But wait a minute, mysuzukinumber! What part of the country is littered with bankrupt blue cities? What part of the country is still welcoming new factories and corporate home offices?

22. To our military and NASA?
Most federal money in the south goes to wages, benefits and maintenance for federal facilities such as military bases and other federally owned infrastructure. Do you want our military members to have their paychecks stopped?

7. But why are they Conservative?
That is the question that has to be asked.
There are a number of reasons, but I think the biggest is that Conservatives want to prove they are not a "victim."
Problem is, when someone mugs you and takes your money, it doesn't matter whether you report it or not - you are still a victim
Which party is based entirely on perpetuating victimhood? I think DUmmy Taverner has something backward here.

6. Massive Liberal Reproduction Project?
I'm in....
Deadbeat democrat breeders are already bumping up against that old nine-months-per-whelp barrier.
The only way to turn out new deadbeats faster is to allow unlimited admission to illegal mexicans. Oh, wait, we already do that.

10. A lot of it comes down to Abortion and the myth that it is RAMPANT.
I think a little education would do a TON of good. But that won't happen.
Democrats don't understand that if there had been zero abortions over the past three decades, we'd have at least 25 million more deadbeat democrats.
DUmmy sudopod, one of that select group of DUmmies who misspelled his own username during registration (reminds me of an actual member of the democrat base who was named, at birth, Prints Albert Jackson):

11. "...they are outnumbered by conservatives."
No, they aren't. They have just given up on the system. In states where upward of 30% of the people are African Americans, there is no reason the obviously bigoted Republicans should ever win...if the system was just.
The problem is that so many natural Democrats of all stripes have given up on the system that the Republicans win by default. The ones who try are frequently discouraged due to the efforts to keep them from the polls. I have experienced it first hand. If we can change that, we can change everything.
The fact that som many natural democrats are in fact wearing stripes is one of their problems.

16. Hmmm, then if this is true a massive GOTV might take back the South
Of course, that old Stalin adage pops up - the one about it's the one who counts the votes
Perhaps if a large chunk of the DNC budget was used to rent hundreds and hundreds of school busses, going from democratic home to democratic home
ACORN

12. When the fascists have them *all* working the plantations (I mean, in prison
doing slave labor for corporations), they'll turn blue. Of course, it'll be too late.
Finally, a DUmmy who understands:

it will be difficult to turn the south blue.

Yeah, good luck with that. I'm betting between you and Stevie Numbers neither one of you could get laid in a whorehouse.

I don't think the girls take food stamps, which would be another problem for them.

Most of the ones who are getting federal money (entitlements) are already voting democratic.

Uh, DUmbass, considering that most of the state legislatures went deep red in the midterm elections (ie 2010), you might want to concentrate on holding on to your current blue shitholes.

And, in that order. :)

I've always been Republican and was never homophobic.

50 million abortions since Roe v Wade, that's not RAMPANT?

I'm not sure of the planet, but I'm sure most inhabit the STATES of confusion, insanity, delusion, unhappiness, and stupidity.

If it were between the hard working men and women of our military getting paid and you pot/cheeto money you would throw the military under the bus so fast even Obama would be impressed.

Well they say if you put a bunch of monkeys in a room with typewriters one of them would end up pounding out something like Shakespeare.

NASA has already been gutted by Obama, and his dipshit affirmative-action appointee over it decided to change it's focus to making Moslems feel good about themselves, you stupid tool. The fact that he can't figure out how to bail on Afghanistan without looking like the putz he is, is all that keeps him from cutting the throat of the military. Of course now that the SEALs have taken out Osama, he may have the vehicle he needs to start down that road too.

How the DUmmies can turn the South blue.
Let me count the ways.
1-....uh....no....hmmmm...won't work....no way.
2- DUmmies can hold their breath until they turn blue.
....and that's all folks.

As soon as you can explain to me why I would want to vote for a party that defines "freedom and liberty" as "what can the gov't do for me today?," and who tells me that "voting in my own self interest" revolves around desiring that I have wealth envy (class warfare) towards others, then we'll talk.
IOW, you're going to have to convince me that what you propose has anything to do with freedom. I've watched you on Skin's island for several years now, and freedom isn't even part of your makeup.

I think that the democrat party could use a few more die hard southern liberals to satisfy the moonbats.
Zell Miller comes to mind. :-)

And foaming at the mouth while they were doing the kicking. I think that stumping for GW really made them go spastic.

The fact is, DUmbasses, you can't. Not with the current Democratic social and economic platform.
But you'd never convince a DUmmy of that. The idea that someone has actually thoughtfully compared liberalism with conservatism and chose the latter never crosses their minds. To them, inside every conservative is a liberal, waiting to get out. It's only a matter of educating them, showing them the data and telling them where their best interests lie.
Conservatives harbor no such illusions about liberals. Their arrogance and sense of entitlement runs so deep that nothing short of a jarring personal experience, usually something tragic as a result of liberal government policies, will change their minds.
Southerners, by and large, will never worship at the feet of nanny government, and it has nothing to do with the color of the occupant of the White House.

That has been true for well over 200 years...read your history DUmmies.
