I really don't to think about that.

I don't recall the source but a heard an accurate quote that explains it. "Republicans are angry because Obama took away their right to never have a black President."
That about sums it up.

Feminine hygiene companies would have to drastically ramp up production.

I didn't know Kenya was a state.

DamnYankees: I really don't to think about that.

I don't either. The Timothy McVeigh wing of the republican / teabagger party is pretty scary.

"Full retard" comes to mind.

There are not enough bears falling out of enough trees on the entire internet to accurately portray the Snap-osity of that statement.

/not what you meant probably, but LOOK BEARS!!

And if there were 17,000 votes for the Constitution Party that on the ballot of that county was easily confused with the Republican line.

And if a group of Democratic staffers had an astroturf protest outside the office doing the recount, thereby shutting it down.

And if several number-crunching scenarios had the Republican actually coming out on top, but they weren't allowed to count the votes.

And if a liberal Supreme Court issued a 5-4 ruling stopping the recount that specifically said that decision should not be used as precedent for anything in the future.

I didn't like how that month played out, and I don't really know who received the most votes, but I accepted Bush as my President once the electoral votes were counted.

I do believe the fringe right would have started an actual civil war if Obama won that way.

The ChickenHawk Wars 2000-2001

The Republican Right declares war on the US, realizes there's no one will to fight it for them. The war ends when they retreat to their gated communities to vent their frustration by cheating at bridge.

I don't think there is any doubt the right would have started a civil war. Hell, they're about to start one now.

Now, now. They'd have mobilized long enough to shoot a couple abortion doctors and random black people. Then they'd skitter away because the American Idol season was starting.

Personally, I don't think it'd be any different, but only because they've already gone full retard. He could have won 538 and the cognitive dissonance would be just as strong.

(And George Washington, but they won't mention that.)

sadly, this is probably true. they're so delusional, they can't conceive a world in which a young, magnetic, smart, bootstrappy black man is president.

The GOP is currently resembling the French reign of terror, minus being in charge. They keep narrowing what is and isn't acceptable, and look likely to basically destroy themselves. Who the current day Robespierre, Marat etc are I leave up to you.

Bootstrappy? Not a chance. Barry Hussein Obama was an affirmative action baby and you know it. He would have never gotten into Harvard without being a foreign exchange student from Kenya.

...or if a state, say Minnesota, duly elected a former entertainer to serve in the Senate by a mere handful of votes. Or if the right wing crazies made assholes of themselves by handing the Democrats a seat they had safely held for over a century, simply by being themselves.

Wait, what?

The left did everything it could to polarize the country after Bush won in 2000. Now they run around astonished that the country is polarized? Sorry, they got what they wanted.

It's a shame for the country, but it's not ever going to change in the lifetimes of anyone reading/participating in this thread, so we all might as well get used to it.

I'm sorry, we're either with who or we're against who, again?

I totally remember when Gore said "you're either with us or against us". That really chapped my hide.

Would you care to name some of these things that the democrats did to polarize the nation.


I'll wait

Yeah, because the country which had just voted 48% to 48% wasn't already polarized.

I believe his exact words were "if you don't like it, get the hell off the internet I invented; I'm being super serial."

Ok, so this article basically sums up the TPM link 3 rows down. Right then.

Comparing that scenario to now is the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing one real hard.

I have no idea what that analogy means but I do love it.

wow, you have no idea what your talking about.

I wonder if Glenn Beck will take a bath.

Well, Obama's got brothers all over the world. So if Obama turns his 60-state dream into reality, I'd say there's a pretty good chance of this happening in 2012.

You're gonna wait a long time. I tried to go find a few photos to post, but I can't post any of them because they all contain protest signs with profanity and/or some kind of image that would get be banned from FARK. Just Google Image Search "Bush protest" and enjoy yourself.

What does Alfred Peachous have to say on the matter?

Fantasy.

Libs love it.

Right, it's not like the Republicans impeached a sitting President for getting a beej in the Oval Office. The Democrats were so petty to oppose a President who launched a war against a country that posed no threat to us.

Somehow, that thought never occured to me before. Chuckling-out-loud.

/Just chiming in.

You were clearly too young or too stupid too understand what happened in that election. Or you're a brilliant troll. Either way, the country is "polarized" between Knuckle-dragging, paranoid, ignorant, bigoted, violently right-wing klansmen trash (the nicest thing that can be thought of about Republicans at this point) vs. EVERYONE ELSE ON EARTH.

I'm no expert on Farkiquette, but I have seen Gorgor post many a picture here without bannination. What you do is post it as a link and label the link "NSFW." That seems to be the protocol.
