Blue State
This land is your land
and this land is my land
From the California
to the New York island
From the redwood forest
to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made
for you and me
As I went walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
Can I help you?
Hi, I'm John Logue
with the Kerry Campaign,
and we just wanna make sure
we get all the voters out there.
We have you listed
as a strong-leaning Kerry household.
I'm voting for Bush.
You are?
Sorry, no matter how many times
people say that to me,
I just can't get over it.
It's like I don't have the enzyme
to metabolize someone
actually saying that to me.
Sir, would you at least take this brochure
which helps explain why it is so important
to vote for John Kerry this year?
And why Bush is evil!
Hi, I'm John Logue
with the Kerry campaign.
Couldn't help but notice you have a Bush...
But the war in Iraq
makes us less safe at home.
And he sold it to the American people
on a boatload of lies.
Why don't you just let
your president do his job?
It's a democratic election, ma'am.
This president has made, I regret to say,
a colossal error of judgment,
and judgment is what we look for
in the president
of the United States of America.
Okay, I wanna make a solemn promise
with all of you here as my witnesses.
Now, he's not gonna win,
'cause we've done our job.
We know who's gonna win, right?
But if...
If George Dubya Bush gets elected
President for another four years,
I swear, I promise on my life,
that I will move to Canada!
No more Bush! No more Bush!
No more Bush!
I would not give up this fight if there
was a chance that we would prevail.
But it is now clear that even when
all the provisional ballots are counted,
there won't be enough outstanding votes
for us to be able to win Ohio.
And therefore, we cannot win this election.
Oh, I hate you. Oh, I hate you. I hate you.
My friends, it was here that
we began our campaign for the presidency,
and all we had was hope
and a vision for a better America.
Meanwhile, a jubilant
President Bush celebrated his victory.
The President spoke
of healing the divide in this country.
These words will go a long way.
And, Jeff, I think with this
kind of support, the President...
What were we thinking,
collectively as a nation?
I mean, the second it happened,
I said to myself, "Of course.
"There's no way Kerry was gonna win. "
'Cause half this country's so stupid
they voted for this evil, warmongering,
corrupt moron
with Dick Cheney's hand up his ass.
And the other half
has such a self-defeating
inferiority complex
that we nominated
this wooden, unelectable opportunist.
Man, it was close.
Sort of. Not really.
I was just so excited to see
what would happen to that look
on Bush's face
when he realized he was finished.
You know, he's got that look, that...
That kind of...
Curious George getting a bad hand job.
Now, what about your promise?
What promise?
Don't f***ing play dumb.
They knew I wasn't serious.
You swore on your life, John.
You were on the news.
It was local.
You swore on your life.
I'm not moving to f***ing Canada, Hal.
I'll see you later.
Hey, John, it's Matt. Pretty bummed.
I know how much this election meant
to you, man. I'm really sorry.
I mean, for all of us. For me. For all of us.
Thinking about hanging myself
or something. But, I don't know.
Oh, I'm thinking about going
to the movies around eightish.
If you wanna go, give me a call before then.
John, it's David. I just spoke to Hal,
and I heard what you're gonna do.
A bunch of us were gonna do something,
but you're really gonna do it.
Man, you're moving to Canada. Wow!
Oh, Canada!
Hey, Craig, is she in?
Hey.
Hey.
Oh.
Bad day, huh?
It just feels like a different country.
Like, you can feel the depression in the air.
Oh, I know how hard you worked. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for all of us.
I've got bad news. If you're here
for your old job back, it's gone.
What?
DigiHouse cancelled
their account yesterday.
They what?
Yeah, they decided to go
with a more conservative approach.
They're moving their operations
to Nashville.
Oh, this is unbelievable.
Hey, I thought that blogging thing
was really taking off for you,
you know, with the election and all.
Have you been reading it?
Yeah...
Angry Donkey.
Thedonkeyrevolution. Com.
Right. Well, I checked it
a couple of weeks ago.
I'm sorry.
Look, I will let you know
if I hear of anything.
Maybe we can grab a drink this week.
I thought...
Did you give any more thought
to, you know, us?
John, I...
What is that?
I know.
I've been meaning to talk to you.
I thought we were
just taking some time off.
Well, you didn't even want to talk
while you were away.
I was focused on the campaign.
I thought now was the time
we were gonna discuss us.
Well, how long
was I supposed to wait, John?
Apparently, not that long.
Who is it?
Don't do this.
Do I know him?
Craig?
Craig?
Craig?
I'm sorry.
Okay, I should've told you sooner.
You think?
You've reached John Logue.
I'm off campaigning
for the future of America right now, so
leave a message and I'll get back to you
on November 3rd. And don't forget to vote.
Hello, John, I'm calling
from MarryACanadian. Ca
up here in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
That's in Canada.
And we're an organization set up
to help Americans establish roots here
after last week's tragic election.
We heard about what you're doing,
and we'd love to help.
So, give us a dingle at 204-555-7328,
and ask for Gloria. Thanks so much, then.
"Liberal ladies and gentlemen
of the US,
"now that George W. Bush will be with us,
tragically, for another four years,
"single American liberals
will be desperate to escape. "
Dude, I swear I didn't sign you up.
Then how'd they find me?
They didn't read it on your blog.
How do you know? Maybe they did.
Dude, nobody reads your stupid blog.
And besides...
Oh, screw you.
So, what's her name?
Oh...
Hello?
Hi, is this MarryACanadian. Com?
You mean dot C-A.
This is John Logue. Somebody
from your organization called me.
Oh, that was me. I'm so glad you called.
A friend of mine heard
from another friend of mine
who saw on TV that you were planning
on moving to Canada
if Bush won the election.
So, we thought we'd give you a ring.
What are you, the CIA?
No. Canada doesn't have
any invasive organizations like that.
We let people enjoy their privacy.
So, we've got people coming up
as soon as tomorrow.
Well, I haven't even decided if...
I haven't even decided if I'm going.
If you wanna come up here,
we'd be more than happy
to help you get accustomed
to living here in Winnipeg,
including finding a Canadian
to marry for your citizenship.
Did you get a chance
to look at the profiles on our website?
Yeah, I...
I thought it was a joke.
We've had some American news
