DUmmies discuss how everyone agrees with them but just don`t show it.

To the Lazy Lefties and Slothful Centrists: F*** all y’all.
Disclaimer: I seriously doubt if we have many (if any) of this sort of person at DU. The post is directed to those who read, but who aren't activists, or do not participate, but somehow expect the country to be run the way they would like.

    "Once again, we see just how screwed we are as a nation: Dems and their lassitude lost another election because too many of them were too f***ing lazy to cast a f***ing ballot. So now we have a corporate whore, lobbyist, and proto-Teabagger winning the FL-13 special election. And he won because Teabaggers and “Republicans” turn out and vote in off-year elections, but Dem voters can’t be bothered to spend a few minutes to vote, once every couple of years.

    And it’s not like Democrats don’t know about the problem; Hell, the punditocracy is constantly talking about it. Obama has been bringing the issue up ad nauseum. And when Dems get off their asses, they tend to win.

    But this time, the lazy left and slothful center have once again screwed the pooch by inaction. Another corrupt, lying, partisan Wingnut is headed to a Congress that is already full of such creatures. And a sensible, factual, hard-working public servant is staying in Florida.

    It is the fault of lazy voters who are so stupid, unmotivated, and useless that they can’t even scribble on a piece of paper and mail it; or drive a few miles and poke at a computer screen for two minutes.

    F*** all “citizens” who let us down this week. And the same for all those who do the same later this year."

1. Lefties have long outnumbered righties

Righties usually have a better turnout. ..been that way for a long time. If the same percentage of people claiming to be dems went to the polls as those claiming to be retugs, dems would win every time.

4. Red meat, people turn out for red meat

The right at least acts like they are throwing the base red meat, they talk about throwing red meat to the base.

Those supposedly opposed to the right talk about rice cakes and communion wafers.

Delusion like that should be fatal.

8. True. But fear of even more Teabaggery doesn't seem to motivate many who vote Dem.

And after seeing how much damage Teapubs have done, voters should be scared shitless.

13. Yeah, but our side doesn't really call them out on it. We've never made voters afraid of Teabillies.

Telling lies usually does not work.

15. True. There is the whole "stare into the abyss too long" bit to consider.

But you'd think people would notice, after a while: "I didn't vote. The other guy won. Things suck. Maybe I should vote."

It isn't "Rocket Scientry", after all.

Blind squirrel...they did just that,and it was Odumbass they regret winning.

44. "Dem voters can’t be bothered to spend a few minutes to vote" - give me a break

That right there shows a misunderstanding of the problem. Democratic voters are often working class and live in more densely-populated districts. Republicans are often retired or people who can afford to take a day off, and tend to live in lightly-populated areas. Thanks to Republican domination of state voting infrastructures, there can be 10 voting machines to service 1000 rural voters and 10 voting machines to service 30000 urban voters. Add in the new voter ID laws, and what you get is a real pain in the ass for a lot of people who might otherwise want to vote.

When a Democrat votes in an off-year election, they're probably taking time off of work to do it, and it probably takes a lot more than "a few minutes". Excoriating those who fail to vote is a lot less credible than thanking those who did, regardless of the outcome.

IMHO, of course.

You can`t get much DUmber then that.

That tells me you lazy, dumbass Democrats don't know how to manage your time, money, or employment.  Why should someone as dumb as that have a say in how government is run?

What damage?  The Tea Party controls absolutely nothing.  You can't say the House, because there are a bunch of RINO's mixed up in that crowd, and besides, Harry Reid won't let anything into the Senate from the House.  What damage, DUmmie?  It's all on the demrats:  prezbo and dingy harry.  Everybody knows it.

It makes me happy that in all your threads, you DUmmies misinterpret the reality on the ground over and over.  It puts you in a very disadvantaged place.

What happened DUmmies is.....wait for it.....not enough voter hauling buses and free stuff. That's what gets the DUmmiecrat vote out around here. Gotta promise 'em money or free stuff and haul 'em to the poll.

[Splashdown]

The Ds outspent the Rs by close to 4:1 in that Florida special election. It was a district that the big 0 won. Twice. And the Dummies are STILL in denial?

Oi.
