On WMAL radio, hosts Brian Wilson and Cheri Jacobus pressed Cuccinelli about why he has not opened a major investigation into what they suggested was wide-spread voter fraud in Virginia — an assessment they made based on receiving unproven allegations by email from listeners. Studies have shown Americans are more likely to be struck by lightning than to commit voter fraud. Cuccinelli endorsed the idea of such investigations, but noted that he lacks the statutory authority to do launch an investigation…. A spokesman for the Attorney General later appeared to walk-back his comments, telling the Virginian-Pilot, “There is no question that President Obama legitimately won re-election. Ken was simply talking about the fact that there were problems on election day which need to be addressed.”
In the three weeks since the election, we’ve been subjected to all manner of caterwauling from the Far Right, most of whom can’t accept the fact that Barack Obama won. We had a referendum on the Right’s plan to turn America into a Randian “Paradise,” and guess what? Y’all lost.
Good night. Game over. Drive home safely. Whatever you do, though, can you PLEASE stop the gawd-awful pissing and moaning over how you’re going to engage in all manner of civil disobedience and resistance? And what you’re at it, knock off the bleating about how Obama “stole” the election, willya? (If memory serves, Republicans were the ones trying to engage in voter suppression.)
Or would you like some cheese with that whine??
If you want to talk about an election being stolen, I’d kindly refer you to 2000, when Republicans (in combination with Al Gore’s epic lack of cojones) actually did “win” the election by stealing Floriduh. Yeah, so it was 12 years ago, but I very clearly remember being told by those on the Right to stop whining. I, and those who believe as I do that the election was stolen, were told to stop being “sore losers.” We eventually accepted the reality that Bush came to office through dishonest and immoral means. Though he was in reality an illegitimate President, George W. Bush was the one sitting behind the big desk in the Oval Office. We accepted it…and look what he did to America over the next eight years. Wow, that worked out well, didn’t it? The deepest recession since the Great Depression, high unemployment, 9.11, two wars…yes, Our Glorious and Benevolent Leader © wasn’t exactly George Washington, was he?
Now the tables have been turned, and I have but one suggestion for those on the Far Right: stop being a sore loser. Y’all are acting like a bunch of crybabies who didn’t get their binkie when they wanted it…and you’re embarrassing yourselves.
It doesn’t feel so good when the tables have been turned, does it? Y’all might as well stop with the impotent bleating. America (barely) made it through eight years of Captain Codpiece ©. I can’t imagine that eight years of Barack Obama could come close to matching the greed, ineptitude, and disdain for the middle class that characterized George W. Bush’s Reign of Error ©.
Get over yourselves, already. Your impotent, angry bleating bores me.
