...Why there's been such a massive, and month long celebration, in the O'Club over Nov. 7th's election results.
It's natural to be happy when your guy wins, but most people I know who voted for either side had reservations about the guy they voted for during the campaign...Bush voters questioned the Iraq war, Kerry voters questioned Kerry's flip flopping... Even here Bush supporters had reservations about their guy- So, why the month long celebration? The result wasn't a surprise; Bush was expected to win.
Why the big party? Most Kerry voters I know were "over it" by Nov. 8th; and, for many Dems, Bush's election was a relief because we're off the hook. Now he has Carte Blanche to establish a Democracy in Iraq, topple the N.Korean and Iranian regimes, and destroy those who might commit acts of terror against us- it is up to Bush to deliver, and those pesky Dems are out of the loop.
Is it the unfettering of America's military might as we FINALLY strike against these oppressive Nations that has caused this mass celebration? I decided that wasn't it because we don't celebrate wars until they're over, and the War on Terror has just begun.
Why the celebration, complete with cartoons of copulating animals? (And Bodhi told ME to grow up 
) Why the jokes?
Well, I think I have the answer. Fanatics, from either side of the political spectrum, see every issue as black vs. white. And the average conservative poster here, the ones starting French-bashing threads or posting nasty gifs, are as fanatically right wing as MG was fanatically left wing.
They believe that, because they would be devistated had Bush lost, that all of the people who voted for Kerry are still hiding under their beds, curled in a fetal position. They imagine lines of Liberals marching into Canada. They imagine much wailing and gnashing of teeth among Liberals. They believe every Kerry voter is in pain, and now they're rubbing salt in the wound.
I got news for you guys- There's no wound to rub salt in. 98% of America accepted the election results and we've moved on- it's only that 2% of you left wing or right wing fanatics who can't let it go.
By all means tho, carry on- it's entertaining and I've laughed at some of the "milk toast" jokes (sorry MrLars), but really, any of you who believe a liberal poster here is "devistated" and "fears for America's future" over this election is indulging in mental mastrubation. I'm sure we'll all be fine.
As I read you diatribe above...I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt, However...I'm not buying it....You liberals are all alike...the first thing you want us to do nowadays is to move on..unfortunately it was the conservatives who coined the phrase..because we've been telling you it since election 2000..You guys are just sore losers because you had The Michael Moore's, Sean Penns, Peter jennings, Ted Koppell, Ben Aflleck and his ahole buddy, Cher, The Dixie Chicks, Linda Rondstatt (Feel Free to add names) and just about everybody in Hollywood and every newspaper and television network in the country on your side and you still lost...and ya no why???Your message stinks.. and like Ronald Reagan said..."When it comes down to it...You just have to trust the american people...They know what to do" And they did it.
So..in closing I'm going to gloat and gloat and gloat, and every opportunity I get to speak about it..Im gonna do it...
