<< STABILITY THROUGH CHAOS ~ MAIN ~ NEW MARK SET >>
NOVEMBER MOORPRISE
Just when it seemed Democrats had a shot at victory in the mid-terms, along waddles notorious failure omen Michael Moore to screw things up:
As good as things look for the Democrats, do not pop the corks and start the partying yet. Do not believe for a second that the Republicans plan on losing. They will fight like dogs for the next 24 hours—relentless, unforgiving, nonstop action to squeeze every last conservative voter out of the house on election day. While the rest of us go about our day today, tens of thousands of Republican volunteers are knocking on doors, making phone calls, and lining up rides to the polls. They’re not sleeping, they’re not eating ...
They’re not eating? That’s a level of dedication Moore must respect! The wealthy undercover Republican activist continues:
The reason they have to work so hard is that, before they can get the vote out, they first have to completely turn around the massive public opinion against them. Almost 60% disapprove of Bush. Over 60% are opposed to the war. Those are landslide numbers. And the American people are not going to turn pro-war or into Bush-lovers by tomorrow morning. So it should be easy for us, right?
Well, yes. Unless the Moore Effect kicks in:
Yup. Just like it was when we won the popular vote in 2000 and when we were ahead in the exit polls all day long in 2004. You know the deal—the other side takes no prisoners. And just when it seems like things are going our way, the Republicans suddenly, mysteriously win the election.
Note Moore’s claim that “we won the popular vote in 2000”. In fact, Moore didn’t support Al Gore in 2000; he supported Ralph Nader. The lying freak hopes his fans have forgotten.
UPDATE. Even Democrat voters are sick of Mike:
Michael Moore can kiss my ass. He MAKES ME WANT TO VOTE REPUBLICAN just so he can feel bad about himself some more.

Posted by Tungsten Monk on 2006 11 06 at 02:50 PM • permalinkRight. Republicans are hitting the streets while all Democrats are doing to get elected is ringing me at home with 100,000 recorded messages from the likes of the Clintons and celebrities whose advice on politics I wouldn’t take over a child’s, some as late as 11 pm. Is it the 7th yet?

Wronwright, I’ll take the bushes beside the door, and you take the roof. Shoot anybody who looks like he might vote Democrat.
Since when is 60% a “landslide number”?
I guess Mike’s going to have to hope for more districts that go Democrat with more votes cast than there are registered voters if the DNC is ever to win.
Posted by andycanuck on 2006 11 06 at 03:19 PM • permalinkR C Dean,
Remember Moore’s early reaction to 911 was one of incredulity: that the Islamists killed the wrong Americans. After all, New York was a blue state not a red state. And to think that this moral retard had an honored place at the Democratic Presidential convention seated right next to Dhimmi Carter.
Posted by Mark Razak on 2006 11 06 at 03:49 PM • permalinkDoes M Moore rely on T Lane for his insights?
Posted by curious george on 2006 11 06 at 04:24 PM • permalinkWell, let’s see. Whadawe got:
o Diebold machines installed with software that asks “have you finished voting?” and when voter checks “yes”, changes votes to Republican slate = check
o mailings to innner city citizens informing them to show up at the same voting poll location, said location with three voting machines, only one of which works = check
o phone calls to rural voters from insufferable British nobleman ordering them to vote Democrat because it’s the proper thing to do, even for Americans with dirty hands = check
o all day bingo tournament in Jewish ansd senior citizen sections of cities = check
o post cards sent informing potential voters that courteous police officers will be posted to voting locations to look for any persons with outstanding criminal charges or unpaid child support obligations = check
Posted by wronwright on 2006 11 06 at 04:32 PM • permalink``....we were ahead in the exit polls all day long in 2004.’‘
Erm, Mikey -
(1) nobody is on oath when speaking to an exit pollster.
(2) Exit pollsters aren’t exactly everywhere. I vote early in the morning in my district, and I’ve never laid eyes on one.
(3) If I DID meet an earnest young doofus with a clipboard who said, ``Pardon me, but who did you just vote for?’’ I’d say, ``None of your business.’’ And I’m not sure how that shows up in the final tally.
And how about that
``...relentless, unforgiving, nonstop action to squeeze every last conservative voter out of the house on election day.’‘
I think Mikey’s constipated. He might try eating more roughage.
Posted by Sonetka's Mom on 2006 11 06 at 05:18 PM • permalinkWas I the only one to notice the irony in Kerrys comment that dumb people end up in the army? I thought they ended up in Florida as democrat voters, these are the people too stupid to fill in voting forms.

Just because some people are unhappy with Bush and/or the war, doesn’t mean they will stoop so low as to vote Democrat.
Are Moore and the Dhimmicrats so stupid they don’t realize those poll numbers don’t mean much, come election day?And, that was a rhetorical question!
I hope the Republicans win for no other reason, that it will wipe the smug grin off the letter writers in today’s Herald. Gaaaah!
To sum up Moore’s point:
They beat us cuz they out-worked us. That is so unfair.

While I don’t doubt that MM knows more about having to be squeezed out of houses than most people, I can say that, in general, it’s not conservatives who need to be dragged to the polls to do their civic duty. It’s the loudmouth, dimwitted “liberals” who torture everyone all year long with their political “convictions,” but then can’t be bothered to actually vote cuz it’s, like, too much of a hassle.
It’s the loudmouth, dimwitted “liberals” who torture everyone all year long with their political “convictions,” but then can’t be bothered to actually vote cuz it’s, like, too much of a hassle.
I just read that the Dems are worried about black voter turn-out. Seems the Dems have done such a great job telling them they’re disenfranchised and the voting machines are rigged that they’re saying, “Why should I bother?”
To compound the irony, the person who’s fretting the most is Donna Brazile - Gore’s campaign manager in 2000 who did such a great job of trumpeting “fraud.”
#23—
I was exit polled once—in 2000. At the time, I was living in a heavily Democratic urban district in Brooklyn New York, which also recently had an influx of young “artists”. When I told the pollster I voted for Bush and Lazio instead of Gore and Hillary Clinton, I thought her head was about to explode.
Another time when voting in the same district, I had a guy who looked like he hadn’t showered in a week or say ask “Would you like to hear about the Green party?”
With my business suit, tie, short hair and briefcase I responded “Do I look like I want to hear about the $*&^ing Green Party?”
He laughed, I laughed. I went to work. He mentally composed a note to ask his parents for more money.
# 32, David- You hit the nail on the head. He’s moaning that Republican politicians and their volunteers will be doing the unthinkable - working hard to get elected and thereby implying that a) the concept of “working” is somehow a dastardly and dirty or that b) Democrats are so perfect and correct about everything they should just be able to sit on their lazy bums and be voted in to office for the sake of their virtue and selflessness.
Posted by EmilyJones on 2006 11 06 at 08:34 PM • permalinkAccording to the new Pew poll Bush’s approval is at 43% agin and the war in Iraq has gained significant support again too. We’re back to 50-50 on whether it was right. Moore’s using old numbers to talk about his expectations of a future event. Moron.
Posted by The Apologist on 2006 11 06 at 08:37 PM • permalink#42—DaveS: That’s certainly the hope for the Rep. congresscritters running for re-elect—Johnson, Shays, and ...(I forget the 3rd one). The Repub Gov. Jodi Rell is at the top of the ballot, with expectations for easy re-election, followed by independent Jomentum, so there should be good Repub turn-out, put off by that one-issue lament, Lamont.
wronwright—Did we finish circulating the flash drives that certainly don’t exist with the “Red Disk” program to all the GOP Diebold voters? You know, the ones that certainly don’t fit the USB slot that you certainly don’t find if you slide the ‘lock’ cover up in its absolutely nonexistent slot…
Rumors that the “Red Disk” lets each GOP voter cancel out one Chicago corpse, L.A. undocumented immigrant AND voting felon in Florida are of course entirely unfounded…

Posted by Bruce Lagasse on 2006 11 06 at 11:15 PM • permalinkKickero, wouldn’t the famed Ancient Greek doctor Hippo-crates (boxes in which to pack hippos?) say MM should lose a little weight? Since he’s the perfect height and weight for a 4-year-old hippo?
Posted by JorgXMcKie on 2006 11 06 at 11:16 PM • permalink#47 Kickero: Yes, but anyplace it went would be an environmental nightmare. Besides, sudden weight loss by Moore could have possibly catastrophic effects for Planet Earth. Plate tectonics - i.e., Moore opting for salad instead of his usual side of beef - could cause changes in everything from gravitational pull to polarity.
As someone who works on political campaigns for the fun of the sport, I can assure Moore the Bore that his observation about republican workers is nothing unusual, for ALL political parties behave the same.
Why it is a surprise, or notable thing, to him is that he doesn’t live in the real world where these things happem,
Posted by Wimpy Canadian on 2006 11 06 at 11:58 PM • permalink#3 No, the democrats, of course, will not resoprt, ON PRINCIPAL[‘b] to such low tactics.
They will just all sit around the camp fire and hold hands and sing Kumbayah. Oh, wait, is that allowed these days? I’d better check my politicallty correct manual.

Posted by curious george on 2006 11 07 at 07:20 AM • permalinkFeel like crep today, but will stagger out at some point and go to the local high school, there to be gifted with about a gazillion shiny flyers about a host of candidates; then I shall stumble into the cafeteria/gym and wait patiently for the nice little old register-person to locate my name and give me a slide card; I shall acknowledge that I don’t need “handicapped” help (special booths) and then I shall vote.
I hope there aren’t any filthy hippies hanging about singing about the maggots feasting on Reagan’s corpse, like last time.
ushie,
We usually have a sausage sizzle organised by some local scout group. They are handy in keeping the greenie-vego-hippie-wankers away.
Good luck.

James, my good fellow, I early voted in Tennessee for U.S. Senate candidates, Governor, etc….prior to my leaving for Florida.
Florida won’t let me register to vote, claim Florida residency, (once again) get a State driver’s license, license plates…until or unless I have title to my financed vehicles assigned to them AND donate my kidneys, heart and lungs, while still fresh and in usable condition.
Crash, go here for a brief history of the elephant and the donkey as party symbols.
http://www.infoplease.com/askeds/donkey-elephant.html
Posted by Sonetka's Mom on 2006 11 07 at 09:45 AM • permalinkCrash, they’re the symbols of the US political parties - elephant for Republicans, donkey for Democrats. They were invented by 19th-century cartoonist Thomas Nast: the elephant represents big vote turnouts, while the donkey is from AEsop’s fable of the ass that, in order to save itself a long walk, threw itself off a cliff.
Let’s hope that both metaphors hold true today!
By the way, this guy Moore - I despise the tub of lard as much as the next man, but frankly, he’s really not worth the breath it takes to insult him. I just scrape people like him off my shoe and move on.
