GOP's Complaining Has Turned Unheatly

[SteelCityDem]

What was the charming little phrase that conservatives would say to those of us disappointed when George W. Bush became president? It's hard to believe that it has receded down the rabbit hole of memory. It was so wonderfully pithy.

Ah yes, I remember now. "Get over it!" This was considered the height of conservative wit back in 2000 and 2004 and all the long years after. You might call it almost Oscar Wilde-like in its cleverness -- that is, if Oscar had not been gay.

Hey, Mr. Liberal, you think the election was stolen because the public was bamboozled by the voting machines? Get over it!

Hey, Mrs. Liberal, you think it unfair that the public was bamboozled by gay marriage amendments and the like? Get over it!

So we did get over it, sort of, because we didn't think we had a choice. It never occurred to us to behave like spoiled children who didn't get their way, pouting and stamping our feet.

3. I have been using "Get over it" quite a bit lately.

It has been my standard reply to some of the right-wing rantings I see posted by a few of my diverse array of friends on Facebook. My comment usually first points out all the hypocrisies in the complaint du jour, then it ends with "Get over it. Your guy lost. See you at the voting booth next election cycle."

8. The PG

Is actually sane compared to the Tribune-Review. I get a huge kick out of cartoonist Rob Rogers.

7. Actually, it's extremely unhealthy for their electoral prospects

Republicans are quickly getting the reputation among independents as being crybabies. And rude assholes.

This is not good for the election of Republicans. Everything that Code Pink does to damage the Democratic
brand, teabaggers are doing to the GOP and more.

All I can say to them is this: keep it up! Get America to reject you completely.

Republicans need about 10 to 20 years in the doghouse, before they will be spanked enough to come back to sanity.
