How much crying and whining will we hear from the pukes?

[rpannier]

If the election falls the way it appears it will at this time, Kerry will be President and will have won probably 23 states. How much whining and spin will the pukes try to use to claim Kerry is not a national President? That scrub won more states, etc. How do you think they'll spin it if this happens?

Just a thought. Curious what everyone else thinks.

1. Lots, but let's not count our moaning freepers until we win! nt

2. Then I will call them Un-American, unpatriotic traitors

for not supporting the president.

3. The repugs are above all selfish and hypocritical

so I suspect they will whine about whatever they can find, or imagine, to whine about. If by some strange chance, for instance, Kerry lost the popular vote, but won through the electoral college, they would have NO second thoughts about whining about that. They are hypocrits and have no self-awareness or sense of irony.

I'll be happy to listen to the whining

What I worry about is we'll win the popular vote and lose the electoral vote once again. Scary thought.

4. Well..

I think we'll see a great deal of religious whining from the Reich. They know that if Kerry wins, they will have gone an entire 18 years without a Supreme Court appointee by 2009. So they'd be truly scared. Imagine a court where 5 out of the 9 are Dem-appointed, and where 4 of them are rock-solid liberals; it'd be easy to pick-off a swing vote for most key decisions. The religious right would soon realize that they've lost the culture war for at least the next 30 years.

I'd predict recriminations within the GOP as well. My suspicion is that the GOP will realize too late that 2004 (perhaps 2008) was its last real chance to hold onto the presidency, given how demographic changes in electorally-key states will pretty much give the Democrats an Electoral College lock by 2012. They'll then have to make a choice: go all-out hard right and search for more theocrat voters, or begin to return back to the middle in order to compete in key demographics?

I suspect that they'll go to the middle, seeing as how the fundies can only turn-out so many voters compared to the middle. The fundies will get frustrated with the newly-moderate GOP candidates, and out of frustration, I seriously wonder if we'll see some frustrated homegrown religious terrorists in our future.

Of course, I'm getting waaaay ahead of things. The GOP will probably just chalk-up 2004 to "Well, they wanted it more than we did," and they'll probably do nothing to really address the problems awaiting their party.

5. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Taking the presidency is only

half the battle. If Kerry is faced with a Repub majority in the house and senate, they won't let him get a thing done.

Work for your local elections! We gotta take it all back, from the school board to the whitehouse!

7. I have a feeling...

...we'll never have a decisive election in this country again. Even if Kerry/Edwards run away with the electoral votes and the popular vote, they'll find some way to dispute it and bring it to court.

Here's a thought... we're all worried about Diebold and rigging the election for Bush. What if they rig it the other way? What if they rig it for a Kerry landslide, then have another "Buckhead" figure it out?

8. Ohh the freepers will be poor losers

They will go online and come up with unflatering nicknames for Kerry and claim that Kerry cheated.Then they will spend the next 8 years trying to impeach him.

9. I like to think I'm a good Christian

And I hate to cast dispersions on other Christians but all too often I see what are obvious political motivations in many Christian groups. And yes, almost all seem to be conservatives I've noticed. When Kerry does win I expect to hear a lot of complaining about it. I just hope and pray my Christian brothers and sisters aren't in that group. Sadly enough I have had to explain to my children why some so-called Christian groups are so publicly pro repub when they know I'm very much a Democrat. Lets all just hope for the best and that they take their losses well.

10. they won't whine

they've already got plans to get him via abusing Congressional investigations and lawsuits and every other trick in the book.

They won't whine, they'll just get busy implementing their plans.
