Explaining the Election

[PoliticalChic]

How could you have been so wrong about the election?

So rather than admit that you were stupid in thinking Romney would win, it is easier to claim the rest of America is stupid

Au contraire.

My error was in assigning the same understanding of history and rectitude that those of us on the Right have to you Pod People.


The vid that I provided?

The tocsin in it are exactly the ones should be applied to the contemporary political realm.
It's just that Pods don't have ears to hear them.

You are so full of shit that it is coming out of your ears. No wonder you are impressed by Ann Coulter.

I always know I've beaten you when you start substituting vulgarity for civility.

The poster's version of a white flag.



OK....I'll let you off with a warning......this time.

 

[PoliticalChic]

7. So, who elected this failed President to a second term? The Pod People.

Frankly, you're making too much of this election. Most of you all are. The 2012 Election doesn't represent a major shift Left for the country. It doesn't represent the "Have Nots" finally outnumbering the "Haves."

Here's what happened:

1. The GOP ran a Massachusets Liberal and tried to re-package him as a Conservative after the Conservatives in the race turned out to be unelectable.

2. Romney, flush with resources and business experience, failed to understand how to run a campaign or organize a turn out the vote effort.

3. Obama ran a better campaign.

That's pretty much it.

If there is a larger lesson to be learned here, it's that the moderate voters found the idea of government intervention into social issues more offensive than the idea of government intervention into fiscal issues. But even that is a stretch. People re-elected the GOP House, while they re-elected the DNC Oval Office. The DNC held the Senate thanks in part to Akin and Mourdock turning out to be flaming idiots.

Neither party made particularly strong in-roads. Both parties are going to be forced to compromise on their agendas in order to get things done. I expect the DNC will probably have to compromise more as their agenda not only has to get past the House, but it has to get past a GOP filibuster.

As for the rest: Of course you're going to characterize people you disagree with poorly. I could put together a similar list using the worst characteristics of the Right, but the truth is the Ann Coulter/Rush Limbaugh tactics have failed in the public sphere. They sell books, but they don't win elections. You will never ever grown the GOP ranks while your opinion is that the folks that disagree with you on one or two issues are obvious idiots to be written off.

I imagine the GOP will make gains at the midterms. But unless they find a more inclusive message, they'll lose again in 2016. The GOP has something of real value to offer and some real solutions. But it doesn't matter if the GOP candidates continue to act like assholes on the national stage.

Really?


So you attribute no moment to the following:
a. When Obama whispered to the Russians that he’d be more ‘flexible’ after the election…who among the Obama voters asked what was the flexibility, or why he was whispering it?

b. The uneducated and uncaring Obama voter claimed ‘Bush lied!,’ As a candidate in 2008, Barack Obama promised that if he was elected president he would not issue declarations known as signing statements that thwart the intent of laws passed by Congress….then did so his first week in office. Did "Obama Lies" become a bumper-sticker?

c. The obtuse Obama voter endorsed the Constitution by an ‘atta boy’ when Obama claimed to be a Constitutional law professor….but when he issued an executive order obviating a law, the Clinton welfare bill [“Government Accountability Office (GAO) on Tuesday confirmed that President Barack Obama did in fact change the rules in Bill Clinton’s landmark Welfare Reform Act despite the Obama administration's claims to the contrary. “], ….not a whimper. Seems they didn’t understand the designation ‘Legislative Branch.’ They forgot all about the Constitution.

d. While denying any proclivity toward Marxism, the ‘reliable Democrat voter’ rushed to pull the lever for a 20-year congregant of a James Cone inspired Black-Liberation church. Cone: “Marxism as a tool of social analysis can… help Christians to see how things really are.”
Cone, “For My People: Black Theology and the Black Church,” p. 187. “You Didn’t Build That!”

e. When the Obama administration was involved with incidents in which Americans were killed, ‘Fast and Furious,’ and Benghazi….they chose stone-walling as the strategy of choice. Seems that 'Bush Lied, People Died' didn't really mean anything to 'em.

f. Make a fuss about separation of religion from the public arena…but complain about voting for Romney because of his religion. And that Mormonism having been historically unkind to black folks….but support a party that produced Jim Crow laws, and fought against anti-lynching laws.



And, with your vocation, you don't see the continued devastation of education with the continuance of a Left-wing administration, the veritable lap-dog of the unions???


Reallly?

[Wry Catcher]

"Games People Play" was a popular psychology book back in the '60's which described the behaviors of PC rather well.

Rather than my attempting to review the book and draw the distinctions let me post a review of the book by one of favorite authors and allow the reader to see PC when she appears in the few examples noted. Those intersted in seeing how prosaic PC is simply need to buy or check out the book from their local library.

She's utilizing this forum because she found that being excruciatingly unpleasant to one man at a time wasn't fulfilling enough.

OK...that was funny.


But no rep....'cause you never say thank you.

 

[sfcalifornia]

Are you actually claiming that conservatives....I am one...would endorse depriving anyone of the right to vote if they "didn't vote the way she (or you) wanted them to"?

Please...be very careful with your answer, as it is a political Stanford-Binet IQ Test....and, having but one question, puts a lot of pressure on you.

I'm trying very hard to save you additional embarrassment.

COULTER: If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.

The Raw Story | Coulter: If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about Dems

I'm sorry, what did you say I was claiming.......?

1. How many of Ms.Coulter's books have you read?
None?
Not one?

2. Although you avoided the previous IQ test, sadly, you've failed this one: you see, the charm of her books is the way the Left fumes when they take her literally.

3. And, it is true that single women vote disproportionately for a governmental-daddy to take care of them.
True or not?

4. But....I notice the details escape you: where does it say that she....or conservatives...ask for said votes be taken away?
What??? It doesn't?
Then....what is your point?

5. This is far too nuanced for you, but if you read what follows the quote you provided, you'd find "And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women."

Did you get the hint that it was said for effect? "...a good way of making the point..."



So, let's review:

1. No one on the Right is asking that women no longer have the right to vote. It was, in fact, Republicans who provided the law that granted women's suffrage.

2. The less intelligent don't recognize the pointed satire in Ms. Coulter's work.

3. The sheer stupidity of the Left has been demonstrated in the voting booths during the last election. (see the OP)

4. You, in particular, represent the abject failure of the Leftist-controlled education system of America......it excels in turning out Pod People. You, case in point.


You're welcome.

Only a crazed, psycho fan of Ann Coulter could spin Ann Coulter's crazed psycho babble as well as you do.

She clearly stated: If we take away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president.

As a woman, you're defending that? How clueless could you possibly be?

Wow.....look at you: trying to hold on by your fingernails!


1. She never recommended that. Never.

2. Would I be correct that you attended government school?
What a shock.

3. Now for the remedial you so dearly require:

if/if/
Conjunction:
Introducing a conditional clause.


when/(h)wen/
Adverb:
At what time: "when did you last see him?".
At or on which (referring to a time or circumstance): "the day when I get my hair done".


Did you notice which Ms.Coulter used? Understand why?
Brilliant.

4. Unlike Pod People, Ms. Coulter, and I, use words with precision. It's no wonder you were unable to ascertain exactly what she was saying.

If only you read books......well, then you wouldn't be a Pod, would you?


Here's a visual for your lesson:

“Would you miss voting?” Senso asked Coulter.

“If the rest of my gender doesn’t vote I wouldn’t miss it at all,” she said to boos.

[Cowman]

I'm amazed you took the time to write such a RETARDED thread.

 

[expatriate]

This thread has been a humorous little diversion on a drizzly Mexican afternoon. Neither political party in America bears hardly any resemblance to the party they were at their origin. To attempt to say that the democrats were the party of racism and segregation might be true, but only in an academic historical context, because we certainly are not that party today.

24 years ago, Mike Dukakis got a greater percentage of the white vote than Obama got in 2012... and Dukakis got his ass kicked. The GOP is the white party today, and, America and the democratic party is getting more "colorful" and more tolerant every election cycle. Either the GOP figures out how to do some substantive "rebranding", or they will find themselves further marginalized with each passing election cycle.

It is interesting to note that, even though the GOP maintained control over the House of Representatives, they were allowed that minor victory primarily as a result of gerrymandering. In this past election, more Americans cast their votes for Democratic House candidates than for Republicans.

It's time for the GOP to do some serious introspection, and threads like this one certainly won't facilitate that process... but I can understand how some sore losers are still having a tough time with the humiliation of seeing Barack Obama whip the guy with the magic underwear! Actually... from my perspective, the longer their whining and caterwauling continues, the sweeter the sense of delicious victory is for me.

Thanks for the laughs, PC.... great fun! great fun!

1. Democrat Progressive Woodrow Wilson was a white supremacist; he accepted uncritically the post-Reconstruction South, and its methods that arranged to keep black Americans in their place. He, himself, was responsible for segregating government buildings. Chace, "1912," P.43

a. In 1915, he advised his second wife, whose niece was to marry a Panamanian: “It would be bad enough at best to have anyone we love marry into a Central American family, because their is the presumption that the blood in not unmixed.” Louis Auchincloss, “Woodrow Wilson,” p.6.

b. Compare this with TR, who dined with Booker T. Washington, at the White House. For this he was criticized by Congress, and never did so again.

c. Blacks, of course, saw Wilson as a southern white supremacist: at Princeton, he banned blacks, and he supported a ‘Jim Crow’ South.

d. The filmmaker David W. Griffith quoted Wilson's two-volume history of the United States, now notorious for its racist view of Reconstruction, in his infamous masterpiece The Clansman, a paean to the Ku Klux Klan for its role in putting down "black-dominated" Republican state governments during Reconstruction. Griffith based the movie on a book by Wilson's former classmate, Thomas Dixon, whose obsession with race was "unrivaled until Mein Kampf." At a private White House showing, Wilson saw the movie, now retitled Birth of a Nation, and returned Griffith's compliment: "It is like writing history with lightning, and my only regret is that it is all so true." Griffith would go on to use this quotation in successfully defending his film against NAACP charges that it was racially inflammatory. Ode to Woodrow Wilson | UT Watch on the Web





2.How about your abysmal knowledge about women's right to vote?

a. It was a Republican who introduced what became the 19th Amendment, women’s suffrage. On May 21, 1919, U.S. Representative James R. Mann (1856-1922), a Republican from Illinois and chairman of the Suffrage Committee, proposed the House resolution to approve the Susan Anthony Amendment granting women the right to vote. The measure passed the House 304-89—a full 42 votes above the required two-thirds majority. 19th Amendment — History.com Articles, Video, Pictures and Facts

b. The 1919 vote in the House of Representatives was possible because Republicans had retaken control of the House. Attempts to get it passed through Democrat-controlled Congresses had failed.

c. The Senate vote was approved only after a Democrat filibuster; and 82% of the Republican Senators voted for it….and 54% of the Democrats.

d. 26 of the 36 states that ratified the 19th Amendment had Republican legislatures.




Now.....don't you wish you remained past junior high school?

Any truth to the rumor that that they added a plaque to your seat in the dumb row 'cause you occupied it for so many years?



Yup.....you're a Pod.

Not to be a nag but you didn't answer my question.

Since you seem to like Ann Coulter's ideology, do you agree with her that women shouldn't have the right to vote, given the majority of women didn't vote the way she (or you) wanted them to?

Are you actually claiming that conservatives....I am one...would endorse depriving anyone of the right to vote if they "didn't vote the way she (or you) wanted them to"?

Please...be very careful with your answer, as it is a political Stanford-Binet IQ Test....and, having but one question, puts a lot of pressure on you.

I'm trying very hard to save you additional embarrassment.

you can't even answer a simple yes or no question. How sad you are.

HOLY SHIT.

This, from the guy who was screaming stuff like "this is the most important election of our lifetime" and "if we lose this election we lose America".

Please, please tell me no one on the right takes people like this seriously.

Do you realize how pathetic you sound? You are constantly stating your intellectual superiority to all on this board. Yet your predictions of this election showed a notable lack of being in touch with reality.

Then we have your posts concerning evolution, Darwin, Marx, and materialism.

Girl, you come across as one ignorant fruitloop. Lots of big words with zero understanding of how the world really works. Whether politically, or scientifically.

Ann Coulter is right... Women shouldn't be allowed to vote. Nor should Blacks, Latinos, Asians and people between the age of 18-29. They're just not responsible enough to vote.

Correct?

Conservatives historically have fought against every expansion of voters' rights. Thankfully, conservatives are historically almost always on the wrong side of history,

as will be the fate of contemporary conservatives.
