Are you going to condemn the entire state because of half of the voters who decided to show up at the polls went with Kerry?

Yes. When you add up the voters who actually voted for Kerry and the ones who stayed home and failed to vote for Bush and, therefore, stop the others, you have a big chunk of cheeseheads who deserve a smackdown.

That still leaves you punishing another big chunk who voted for Bush.

Again, I refer to the scene in the Bible about Sodom and Gommorah, where Abraham asks G-d "will you wipe away the innocent with the guilty," saying that it would be a blasphemy to do so. He asks G-d (politely) "would you spare the city if there were fifty good men?" G-d replies "yes." Abraham keeps pressing the argument, each time lowering the number, until finally G-d says that if ten innocent men could be found in the city, he would spare it. (But there weren't. The only people in the cities worthy to be spared punishment was Lot's family, and G-d sent two angels to get them out of the line of fire.)

G-d would have spared the cities of Sodom and Gommorah on account of only ten men. A lot more than ten people in Wisconsin voted for Bush. Will you be less merciful than G-d and deprive over 1 million Bush supporters of a cheese dependant livelihood?

Conservatives and Republicans pride themselves on their belief in moral values and Biblical values, right? Not condemning the innocent with the guilty is a Biblical value.

To condemn an entire state because of the actions of some, even a majority, of the population is not only unfair to your fellow Bush supporters in Wisconsin, but it counters what we read in the Bible about sparing the innocent and only punishing the guilty.
