It's not my fault

I didn't vote for them. I don't even like the colour blue. At least my riding is orange! Yay.

I don't like blue either, but it appears my nieghbours do. Damn Old People!

Well, don't blame all old people. I doubt my parents voted blue.

I didn't blame old people, she did.

And, I know my parents didn't vote blue, either.

I live in amongst alot of apt's and condos FULL of old people. 80% of folks I see walking around/on the bus/in the elevator are old. Baird has wallpapered (at least) this section of the riding with "community saftey" messages clearly directed at the elderly. The only signs I have seen on balconies etc are blue. When I walk around there are more colours, but blue still predominates. :-(

Had you voted for the Reformatories, I am afraid that you would be as one dead to me.

I think we would all have been astonished if you had voted blue.

The only blue I vote is when choosing what kind of movie to watch. :-)

Around here, blue means something entirely else... and I'd just like to say I'm glad my state and the other two close by are about as blue as they get.

The general reversal of blue and red in the states (which is where I assume you refer to) always throws me. It's hard to switch out of blue=right, red=left (ok...central-left) mode to the opposite in the states.

I know, the colour shift throws me off, too. It used to be the other way around! I remember watching the results of the 1984 election, when the entire country was shown as blue (dammit) with only Minnesota showing up as red (for Mondale/Ferraro). I have no idea why they changed it; it still feels wrong.

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know -- the US reverses the blue/red from how we do it.

Which is especially bizarre given the whole "commie = red" thing from the 50's

Ours is red (no shock, most of TO is red).

But it continues my nearly 30-year trend; if the candidate I vote actually _does_ make it in, then his/her party doesn't form the government!

Wow, I'm trying to think if there's a single case where that's not true...

[i-and-t.livejournal.com]

Vote for the other party next time.

I agree with i and t! It just might work! ;P
