Interesting.
Yep, I mocked people like this after the election.
They wanted to "vote for the cool black guy" and "be a part of history", regardless of how destructive putting him in power would be.
No free Bruce Springsteen or Radiohead or Decemberists concert.
The White House desparately needs this meme: it’s not that voters turned on us, it’s that our people didnt show up.
Baloney.
Facile and vapid voters are better off not voting. That way the rest of us won’t be as likely to strangle them for their stupidity
If Corzine had hired Springsteen, he would have won
Couldn’t tear themselves away from the bong and that bag of Doritos.
“Rashida Hill” hummm...
They found 1 anyway.
Perhaps she was one of those Obama voters who thought that he would fill her car with gas. Now she is completely puzzled as to why her car has been unable to start for the last 11 and a half months.
So the Black voters on the Democrat plantation aren’t going to come out on election day unless they can vote for a Black, or even a half-Black, candidate. The Democrats richly deserve this after stoking the fires of racial politics all these years.
Translation: ACORN's pimp/hooker scandal kept them from manufaturing the votes they did in 2008.
Ahhh yes...the “entertainment” generation! If it isn’t entertaining, it isn’t worth their time!
I imagaine a large percentage of those who stayed home yesterday are disillusioned ‘09 grads looking for work. They fall into that 52% unemployed bracket. Looks like their Messiah didn’t come through for them. Hope they see the light for the next election.
A comment on a thread I made last night:
“which had been trending leftward and just last year was held up as an example of how Obama was redrawing the political map in his favor. “
I really do hate to bring race into this, but these people are mistaken that they believe the people had turned Democrat all of a sudden. Sure, there were a good many who were sick of Bush, or believed the media on how incompetent they made him out to be. But a good many were people who have never voted before, and probably will never again, that wanted to vote for “history”.
“Being part of something” means voting for the first black president. So Obama’s skin color was the reason this person voted. Issues didn’t matter.
And I bet the young voters who turned out last year for McCain still got to the polls yesterday.
She wasn’t excited about their skin color I suppose.
Perhaps the reason why they didn't turn out to vote is they were still waiting in line for their Obama Money
