Bah! Those numbers are phoney! And irrelevant anyway, because anything less than 80% of the vote means Bush has no mandate whatsoever!
Extracted from: Watcher at November 5, 2004 12:49 PMThe exit polls totally contradict both the popular vote and the electoral college. I agree with Watcher...Bush couldn't get a mandate at a gay singles bar.
Extracted from: Liberal Larry at November 5, 2004 01:17 PMCommissar, who do you think the Party will nominate in '08? Comrade Hillary, Perhaps?
Extracted from: EdWonk at November 5, 2004 08:23 PMHillary? That right-wing extremist?! No, no... a much better choice would be Cynthia McKinney.

rotflmao
What do you call control of the Senate and House plus a majority popular vote? Oh I almost forgot about State governorships.
Tell me, how does that stack up with Clinton's second term?
Extracted from: Dan Kauffman at November 6, 2004 06:19 AMWhen I read the hysteria and spleen over the reuslts of this election I am reminded of this essay
The unteachable ignorance of the red states
By Jane Smiley,
in particular the part where she says, "The history of the last four years shows that red state types, above all, do not want to be told what to dothey prefer to be ignorant. As a result, they are virtually unteachable."
"Can the Democrats appeal to such voters? Do they want to?"
I thought a long time on how best to answer her and decided this way would be good.
The lines "oh You're So Condescending
your Gall Is Never Ending
we Don't Want Nothin', Not A Thing From You"
I found to be particularly fitting. ;-)

Extracted from: Dick at November 6, 2004 09:45 AMIf 60 million American voters are as stupid as the Left claims, what does that say about their precious public education system?
Extracted from: McGehee at November 9, 2004 09:20 AMIn one way he got there, when he reached 59,500,001 votes, which, when rounded to the nearest million, is sixty million.
And you're not even a lawyer!
But in one way, you are, because you made an argument worthy of a lawyer.

That it's working...
Oh, sure, there's a glitch in the elections engine of the system; but beyond that, the "dumbing down" of the population is proceeding on schedule...
Note to Kommissar: Keep eyes on Comrade McGehee; dis vun is too observant, too insightful... On skora boodit opasniy...
Extracted from: Pagoobniy_Ivan at November 9, 2004 10:01 AMI'm a product of "revolving door justice" -- I've been denounced in so many show trials I may have to run for office.
Extracted from: McGehee at November 9, 2004 10:21 AMThat's how I always round off my millions anyway.
Extracted from: Teresa Heinz Kerry at November 9, 2004 03:25 PMDid you mean billions there, THK? ;)
I don't think Bush makes 60 mil, unfortunately.
Extracted from: ding at November 11, 2004 06:26 PMJust food for thought; Comrad Boosh, in all his evilness was blamed by the good guys for the shortage of flu vacine. Now the elections are over....howcome there is vacine in all the clinics. I don't know the answer to this, is there a spy out there that will come clean?
Extracted from: nagel at November 12, 2004 07:03 PMI knew prayer would give Bush a huge mandate. Thank God Jesus is on our side.
Extracted from: political at November 12, 2004 07:14 PMComrade Commissar,
The Party wishes to express it's concerns over the failure of this publication to acknowledge the great victory of Comrade Kerry in the continuing struggle against the oppressive bourgeoisie military-industrial complex and the characterization of the comrade's victory speech as a concession speech, all the while reprinting ideologically harmful materials in the form of vote totals for the reactionary war criminal Bush.
The Party has also expressed these concerns to the Directorate of Propaganda, which shall take any appropriate corrective measures to insure that the ideological and political course of this publication are maintained.
