It's not a line, I actually find you completely hilarious now. You very much are here now for my amusement as now I can view your posts the way I view Charlie's completely and every single time. Thank you.

... You're welcome? I guess? Just keep coming back and disagreeing with me and we'll get along fine.
I think I stopped trying to fix the crazies and just accepted little nudges work better than electrotherapy.

Man, I hate Andy Kaufman.
Andy Kaufman would have hated Andy Kaufman too.Man, I hate Andy Kaufman.
There's nothing to disagree with, because it's no longer serious and real. It's just funny now.

That sounds like surrenderin' talk to me.
Yep, a complete surrender to your master of the political comedy

Pretty much. Although I am actually waiting for the day when he informs us that he is now communicating with us via a complicated system of wi-fi hacks, smoke signals and trained squirrels from his bunker in an undisclosed wilderness location, where he will wait out the dissolution of the United States with his stockpile of gold, guns, ammo and spam - all of which will make him a superior breeding partner in the post-apocalyptic future, all women wanting a share of his man-gravy

*sigh* I'll go put up the mattresses under Suicide Cliff...
So, Obama won...is it sad that I just don't care? The past 3 elections I've felt SOME sort of emotion but this one I just feel nothing. Its weird, man.

What did you think you would be feeling?
Any feeling honestly, negative or positive. This election just felt like it flew by and honestly I could care less.

The phrase.
Is.
COULDN'T.
If you "could" care less, you actually care an undetermined amount ranging from a little to obsessively.
Ahem.
Now then.
So you never were "rooting" for any candidate, never hoped one or the other or a third would win?
At first yes for Obama, but as the months went on I stopped caring. I've honestly gotten over the hype of the presidential race.
I'm really kind-of done with the American Democratic process in general. I used to tell myself "Sure all politicians are dicks, but you can't let the dickier dick win!" I am done. And it wasn't disapointment that caused me to feel this, but it was the feeling of nothing at all.
Yoshimickster - You felt nothing because you had nothing at stake. That's basically what it boils down to.
He'll be old enough to vote soon enough. Then he'll have to curse at robo calls like the rest of you (I thankfully never recieved one this year).
This this my recurring joke right? Pretending to be older than I say I am? I am okay with that, its pretty funny.
And yeah those robo-calls are pretty dumb, I actually got one yesterday. Does that make sense? Sending out a robo-call THE DAY of the election? Its odd to me.
They want to make sure you vote. Nothing odd about that.
Oh and Obama's second administration's body count has started.
Oh and Obama's second administration's body count has started.
Yeah, I hate that about Obama's presidency. Sadly, both leading candidates agreed on that front.
I guess, but if it were me I would've placed a robo-call the day before voting day. Course das just me.
My damn phone rang non stop all day for at least a month.I want to say I'm floored by what I experienced by tuning into the GoP Talking Heads and Fox News yesterday but I'm not:
The consensus of these GoP radio/TV shows are that the only reasons Mitt Romney lost are as follows:
A: Romney was almost right in the 47% video. It was really 51% of America that are free loading unemployed losers who want everything given to them. 51% of America. If you voted Obama you're a leech.
B: Romney was destroyed by Obama's dirty politics campaign. Mitt ran an honest, truthful campaign and Obama won because Obama's campaign lied. If Romney had just done some lying in his campaign he would have won.
C: Romney was killed by the biased media against him that supported Obama and ignored all the bad things Obama did.
D: America is no longer a -True- America. Real Americans voted for Romney and since he lost, America is now a majority of Non-Americans.
Do I even have to explain the ridiculousness of this? I mean like I said, I'm not surprised, the GoP ran from a mythical land of self-lies the entire time but for them to STILL not get it after this election is baffling. They feel if they embrace Gay Equality, helping immigrants become legal and giving the woman to choose what she does with her own body that they'll just become Cloned Democrats. To them, it's -Not The Answer-. Yet many of them followed up by asking -How do we get more of the Latino vote? How do we get more of the woman vote?- well dipshit they voted for Obama because his campaign actually tries helping those two demographics. Go figure.
This isn't even just from one source, I watched/listened to 12hrs of different GoP programs yesterday and this was echoed through them all.
