poll: are the primitives going to Hate Romney more than they Hated Bush?

[franksolich]

Just some mental chewing gum for speculation, and hence not worth "stickying."

Are the primitives going to Hate Romney more than they Hated Bush?

The primitives' Hatred of George Bush of course is legendary for its passion and intensity.

To be honest, it wasn't until January-February 2001 that I myself became aware that vigorous Hate existed in America.  Before then, I had gone my merry way thinking the strongest feelings in American politics were simply those of dislike or distaste or contempt; the usual standard "oh, I just don't like that guy" stuff.

I had no idea.  franksolich was obviously living in a dream world utterly disconnected from reality.

Being who and what I am, I've never Hated a politician; a "mild dislike" is about the strongest emotion that ever arose in me.

Even Barack Milhous, who's running the country into the ground, and who's pretty shallow and stupid to boot, inspires in me nothing more than "mild dislike."  I don't want to see him come to harm, I don't want to see him drop dead; all I want to see is Barack Milhous in retirement.

The politician for whom I've had the most contempt is Vast Teddy, but even then, it was just a mild dislike for him.

I suppose on a linear gauge of "Love-Hate," one extreme to the other, the furthest I've ever gone is a little bit past the middle-mark towards the latter.

But the primitive's Hatred of George Bush went way past the end of that "Love-Hate" line.

It was when I discovered Skins's island, and how the primitives felt about George Bush, that I suddenly became aware that franksolich has a totally unrealistic Pollyanna-ish attitude about Democrats, liberals, and primitives.

I used to think they were more, uh, human than they apparently are.

Well, the primitives Hated George Bush because he's a decent, civilized, modest, principled, ethical person, and primitives Hate those characteristics.  On Skins's island, honesty and integrity and modesty are considered significant character flaws, not virtues.

I can't pass judgement on Romney because he's not president; I assume he's decent, civilized, modest, principled, and ethical--no evidence to the contrary seems to exist--but he doesn't have a record yet.  All I'm confident about Romney is that he's an adult, highly likely to be shitloads better, tons more competent, than the low-IQ loser and whiner currently in the White House.

But given the primitives' Hatred of Bush, one wonders if it's possible the primitives could Hate Romney even more, because as already mentioned, their Hatred of Bush ran way off the charts.

I put yes, for the simple fact that they hate a self made man who did it all his own without government help, has been married to the same women for 40 years (and never cheated on her); Gave all of his inheritance from his father to charity; never smoked, never drank, never did drugs, gives 20%+ of his income to charity; raised five boys who have never been in trouble with the law, are not drug addicts, and have good families themselves ... And he goes to church and prays regularly. Those are all things that the libs hate.

The thing they hate the most is that Romney knows what he is talking about, and has the potential to fix this mess. The libs want this to be a social democracy, Romney wants this to be a capitalist democracy.

I said "yes" for all of these reasons, and also because their Hate levels have been refined.  It's a more-concentrated Hate that also happens to be more prevalent.  It may very well start a civil war.

[Jasonw560]

I put yes because Romney will have unseated the first Black pResident.

[Chris_]

Yes, because it's what they do.  If it's not Bush, it's Cheney, Palin, Romney, or pretty much anyone else in a position of power that isn't a liberal Democrat.

[Kyle Ricky]

I am looking for a race war here to break out. With how much divisiveness that obama has weighed on us, it is inevitable.

Clinton was the first black President ...


Note: I forgot to also add that Romney was lovingly by his wife's side while she was going through breast cancer and now that she is battling MS. His conviction and devotion to her is unwavering, and one that should teach people what love really is.

[Splashdown]

Chris Matthews basically called Romney a racist for daring to run against 0bama. For that reason alone, the DUmmies are going to be apoplectic for the next 4-8 years.

Their misery, of course, can only mean good things for the country.

[formerlurker]

I am looking for a race war here to break out. With how much divisiveness that obama has weighed on us, it is inevitable.

Nah, I don't see it.

[Ballygrl]

I say yes also, and the biggest reason they'll be upset is because Obama is black.

[Wineslob]

Nah, I don't see it.

Same here. Libs are blowhards.

[Ballygrl]

I am looking for a race war here to break out. With how much divisiveness that obama has weighed on us, it is inevitable.

I have no doubt that if Romney wins race wars will break out in cities like NY, LA, Chicago, Detroit etc. hopefully tough love will step in, you destroy your neighborhood and city? you build it back up yourself, and if you're arrested you lose all Government benefits, and if you're underage? your Parents lose their benefits. Enough with the coddling of people who go out and destroy their communities.

[jukin]

Yes, of course they will but only because they have become more hateful. My guess this is due to the fact the DUchebags thought that 0bama would make Heaven on earth but instead brought hell. This proves that their most cherished and unrealistic dreams cannot work. Romney will bring much better times and that will be a a poke in the other eye of the DUches, our concepts do work. The Dump will turn the hate meter up to 11.

I hope there will not be riots in the urban areas when l0rd 0 losses but I give riots an 85% chance.

[Happy Fun Ball]

Nah, I don't see it.

I don't know about any race war, but there's a fairly good chance of riots.

[Carl]

Yes,with their obsession about being entitled to free stuff they will view President Romney as the person that ended Christmas for them.

[marv]

A resounding YES! But it'll be much worse. They've already called Mitt a liar to set the stage. And now they're bringing out their big guns.......

After Mitt wins, the DUmmies will cry foul, theft, fraud, and whatever else. He'll be hated because he unseated their black messiah. It will go on and on............

Buy ammo.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Yes...after all, he will have actually beaten their Messianic incumbent, rather than simply have won an arm-wrestling contest over a term-limited Dem's chosen successor.  They could make fun of Bush's intelligence all they wanted to and mock him without it necessarily being burning hatred, and hold him in contempt as a feckless heir to wealth without actually hating him (Although scholastically he was on a par with 'supergenius; Manbearpig, but suffered from a slight speech impediment).  Romney, on the other hand, is unquestionably highly intelligent and made tons of money in evil corporate businesses, so he is to them what a cross is to vampires, and far too dangerous in their twisted worldview to dismiss with mere contempt.

[Gina]

They are going to hate him so much more just because he lost to Romney.  It's going to be on like Donkey Kong in the media, they are going to be writing scathing articles all the time trying to get him impeached.

[Vagabond]

Yes.  He will have unseated their precious Obamassiah.  They will tell themselves tales about what the won could have accomplished if only he were allowed to have stayed.

I don't know if the worst among the leftists will start trouble or not.  At his heart, a leftist (what they call themselves is irrelevant) is a coward who will only attack if he believes he is assured of victory at little personal cost.

They could start trouble in the cities, but that is about the only place that outnumber normal people.


Edited to remove nadinese.

[GOBUCKS]

At this point, it still appears unlikely that Romney will win, but if he does he'll be much more hated by the DUmpmonkeys than GWB ever was.

From the perspective of the democrat base this election, like 2008, is purely a racial conflict.

That brings out the most vicious, primal, violent emotions that people can have.

As it is, any appearance of civilization among the democrat base is the thinnest possible veneer.

Should Romney win, a lot of blue hellholes will be set on fire for a few days, until the democrat base is subdued by the brute force of law enforcement.

[Cruise]

I voted yes, because science says so.  Read up on the Dunning Kruger effect. 

Dunning Kruger effect practically mandates that incompetent people are going to hate competent people for no good reason.  President Bush, as much as I love him, was much better at demonstrating heart than competency.  Romney is far more competent than anyone we've seen since Reagan: communicating, getting things done, and so on.

Well, then I was living right next door Frank.  That really opened my eyes to these cretins.

[AllosaursRus]

I voted yes! They won't be able to say he's an idiot, even though "W" was anything but, he was not much of a public speaker. Romney will kick their ass!

The economy will take an about face, and they will go batshit crazy because he makes the messiah look like a little boy! Unforgivable! The MSM will go into defcon 4!

[franksolich]

Well, then I was living right next door Frank.  That really opened my eyes to these cretins.

I noticed something today, Tuesday, October 9.

There's been a discernible shift in the primitives' attitudes.

Do you suppose today's the day they're finally starting to realize what's going to happen?

Of course, the hard-core 0bamaites, such as Baghdad Bob the Prosense primitive, are going to hold out until the bitter end, but I think for the majority of the primitives, it's beginning to sink in.

[Mr Mannn]

I voted yes.
With Obama the DUmmies had their one chance in a lifetime to usher in communism. he was actively crushing the economy, and now they will have 8-16 years of capitalist prosperity and a wary public before they can try the same stunt again.

This was it.
The main stream media was their ministry of propaganda.
Pelosi/Reid held congress in an iron grip.
Step by step, the democrats were taking over the economy, NOTHING could stop them!

and then the Tea Party showed up, and everything went to heck in a hand basket.
The DUmmies had to face an organization of the people, with no defined leaders to attack. The people stood politely in parks, got permits, went home at night. 2010 was a direct result of Tea Party influence.
and now, Like an giant bull elephant, Mitt is barreling down the path of destiny!

Yes, they will hate Mitt all the more. He took away their communist paradise.
