FACTS no longer exist. And that's a FACT. Or "let the LYING begin!"
Sure leaves me with a lot more spare time. I spent several years trying to get out the FACTS to rightwingnuts, but I've concluded they are, in FACT, incapable of hearing FACTS. Maybe it's genetic. Maybe their delicate shell-like ears close down when assaulted by the harsh reality of FACTS.

A majority of bush-god supporters still think Iraq did 911. A majority still think Iraq has WMD and that we've found WMD in Iraq. That rightwingnuts are so ignorant of the FACTS is a FACT.

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/1022-01.htm

Doesn't matter that in FACT even their own bush-god and cheney-angel have publicly admitted Iraq never had anything to do with 911,

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/140133_bushiraq18.html

and that in FACT Iraq had no WMD since 1991.

http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2004/10/299100.shtml

THAT DOES NOT COMPUTE for rightwingnuts. So trying to state FACTS to rightwingnuts is really just a silly waste of time. Even bush-god and cheney-angel can't get FACTS through to the rightwingnuts. Not that bush-god and cheney-angel try very often, of course.

So let bush call his win "historic"; that's true in one sense; bush won more votes -- 59.2 million -- than any presidential candidate in U.S. history. But the other FACT is Kerry's vote total -- 55.7 million -- was still greater than any U.S. presidential candidate in history until 2004. That means more Americans cast their vote against Bush than against any other presidential candidate in U.S. history.

But we'll just forget that FACT.

bush says he won a "huge mandate" by a "landslide" and a "broad nationwide victory";

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/11/03/election.main/index.html

when did 2%, 51-49, become a "huge mandate"? When did 1% over 50% become a "landslide"? When did winning the popular vote only in the southern states and the EV only in the south and some of the industrialized midwest become "broad nationwide"?

So 51% of the American people are "the will of the American people", according to bush;

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/2004/la-110404bushtext_wr,0,3189567.story?coll=la-home-headlines

and just what exactly are the other 49% of Americans? I guess like FACTS, we just don't exist any longer.

With the exception of the 2000 election, Bush's popular vote margin of about 3.6 million votes (out of approximately 115 million total votes cast)

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/president

was the smallest since 1976, when then-Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter (D) defeated President Gerald R. Ford (R) by about 1.7 million votes.

http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/electoral_college/scores.html#1976

But we'll just forget that FACT.

As Wall Street Journal Washington editor Albert R. Hunt pointed out on November 4, "It was a GOP sweep, but it also was the narrowest win for a sitting president since Woodrow Wilson in 1916."

http://online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB109953484618964519,00.html?mod=opinion%5Fmain%5Ffeatured%5Fstories%5Fhs

But we'll just forget that FACT.

Percentage-wise, bush's victory was the narrowest for any wartime incumbent president in U.S. history.

http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/electoral_college/scores.html

But we'll just forget that FACT.

60% of Americans eligible to vote voted; half of them plus 1% were stupid enough to vote for bush. The other half minus 1% weren't that stupid. But what a difference that 1% makes! Half this country, less that magical 1%, no longer exist!

In FACT bush is calling his 1% a "historic huge landslide broad nationwide victory".

Which, in FACT, is just more bush bullshit.

But we'll just forget that FACT. The rightwingnuts and their "liberal media" already have.
