"Republicans" and the loss

[hikarugenji.livejournal.com]

For a laugh I went to Glenn Beck's page to look at some comments on the various articles about Obama's win. Here are some choice bits:

- Texas can show the US the path to prosperity by nullifying Obamacare, creating a silver-based currency, and preventing the EPA from operating in the state. Secede if necessary. Texas' secession is inevitable, so you should move to Texas if you don't support Obama.
- Obama can now put into effect his plan to let terrorists make further attacks here.
- When Obama said "This is my last election" to Medvedev, he meant that he is going to make himself a dictator so there will be no more elections.
- Unless God intervenes, America will be destroyed within the year.
- The fact that he was re-elected means that somehow Obama can now destroy America like he's always planned.
- The root of Obama's evil is when Satan created the Federal Reserve.
- Obama couldn't have lost because 100% of people receiving food stamps and unemployment voted for him.
- Sharia law is imminent.

I remember a lot of nonsense about Bush from some on the left when he was re-elected, but I don't remember if it was this bad.

I would have thought we voted based on policies we agree with, but hey, since the GOP spent the last two years working for Obama to be a one-term President, I wish them equal success with all their goals for the next four years. They can keep up the good work just fine. :)

What foolishly idealistic notion.

I had you pegged as being more cynical than that.

Re-read what I said, and then you'll see that I'm just as cynical as ever. ;)

In actuality we vote because people tell us voting mattes in a democracy, even though every election states are called for candidates long before even 50% of the precints in any state are counted, but hey! It's democracy! The only alternative is IslamofascicommunaziCthulhuism!
