How many right-wingers would slit their wrists if Hillary were elected President?

[kentuck]

Sometimes I think they hate her more than they hated Bill? I don't know why?? She seems like a very nice and likeable person. Just a note on the bright side if Hillary were to win... :-)

[billbuckhead]

1. And they won't over "Barack Hussein Obama"

:eyes:

[Aviation Pro]

2. None....

...they would move to their mountain and badland redoubts in Idaho and Montana and reload their ammo after shooting paper targets all day.

[Aristus]

16. Yeah. Federal building across the U.S. would have to ratchet up the security.

The next Timothy McVeigh is out there somewhere...

[Ishoutandscream2]

46. Yep. The batshit crazy survivalists will be in the forefront again

And you know there are a lot of McVeigh types out there. Frightening.

[rudy23]

3. While the thought of upset right wingers is appealing, I think that presents a key problem

I don't have any doubt at this point that Hillary would energize the Republican voters to get out and thwart her far more than Obama would.

I also don't want another 4 or 8 years of polarizing politics. While I don't think Hillary's politics are polarizing, and the right wing hatred of her is VERY unfair, it is a reality we've got to face when we think about the general elections.

I'm with you on the point that it will be fun to watch the Republicans' heads' explode over her presidency should it happen, but I'm tired of tit for tat Clinton/Bush hatred.

[alfredo]

20. Obama will energize right wing men. Deep inside they fear Black men,

especially a handsome, smart, and charming man like Obama. You think they saw Bill Clinton a sexual rival, just wait. That mentality is still out there and I have no doubt it will surface.

I am from the south, I've seen it all my life. There's a clear sexual side to racism.

Still, that is no reason not to go with Obama, just as the right wing hatred of women and Hillary in particular, is no reason not to go with her.

[rudy23]

25. I disagree, I think there's some of that, but they sense the alpha in him. I detect a man-crush

amongst Republican men. Seriously, that's been my experience. Men just kind of think he's cool.

I've definitely heard the good ol', "Now THAT'S the kind of black guy I could be friends with", from the typical office and family righties I've dealt with.

[alfredo]

28. But then you have the grit who sees him as an enemy.

[rudy23]

40. I think the g.r.i.t.s. think he's pretty hot, too.

Let's not underestimate them too much. I've been surprised at the righties I've heard saying positive things about Obama--men and women, young and old.

In their own racist way, they see Obama as what they wish the black race would become. Or rather, what they expect black men to act like. This is their perspective I'm trying to pin down, not mine.

[alfredo]

41. Oh sure, the younger and more thoughtful will see him differently.

His advantage has been the lack of living with the legacy of slavery. He has a lot of Africa in him, and none of the pain handed down by the families of slaves. He has the strength of a free man.
No matter how educated and "proper" the pain of hundreds of years of being a cast off will appear. No matter how open and accepting a white is, we feel the pain and guilt over what we did. Some do something about it, some can't handle it. Obama, because he doesn't have that pain, can speak to us without reminding us of the horrors we imposed.

John Lennon said "one thing you can't hide, is when you're crippled inside." In other words, you can't hide your pain. It will come out. Out of a sense of self preservation, we avoid pain in ourselves and others. We don't need to protect ourselves when we see Obama. He has the strength of a free man.

I have some Armenian blood in me. I try to be civil around the Turks, but my history makes it difficult to mask that pain.

[MercutioATC]

4. All of them...and a lot of Independants too....that's why they won't let it happen.

Want to unite the world against liberal Dems? HRC has the secret.

[Marr]

49. They'll do the same against Obama.

In my humble opinion, the election was lost the moment the public rolled over and accepted the corporate media's two approved candidates. I don't think either has a chance in hell of winning.

Neither of these candidates will crush their Republican opposition. A crushing victory is the only way a Democrat will actually take the WH. If it's close enough to steal, you can bet your ass it'll be stolen.

I don't know how so many people can still manage to do it, but I think they're overestimating this country's character and intellect. We'd opt for a raving white male lunatic over a rational, sincere minority.

[NNN0LHI]

5. Most will move to Jonestown, Guyana

And they will stay there.

[liam_laddie]

6. I would hope all of them would...

That way, the species rids itself of the tainted elements which have dangerous genetic markers.
The rational, sensible shall survive...

[Fovea]

7. Do you know how many Microsoft(tm) engineers it takes

to change a lightbulb?

Zero-- they just change the standard to darkness.

So it is with the various lines drawn between the wide stance restroom rangers and the danger that encroaches all we are told we hold dear.

They won't implode, they will declare symbolic victory, and swallow their viagra with an oxyrush chaser.

They are like Undershaft in Shaw's Major Barbara. They worship money and gunpowder, because without enough of the one, they could not keep the other.

[Mira]

8. Speaking without tongue in cheek, but smiling in spite of the seriousness of your question

the answer is that there will be two rivers of blood in the streets. The other is the economy.

[WilyWondr]

9. They don't like smart people

I am convinced that smart people pointing out all those facts about how global warming is real and how tax cuts do not trickle-down or how having a $9 trillion dollar debt is not a good thing must really bum them out.

[JCMach1]

15. make that SMART WOMEN and you are dead right

even Repug women hate smart women! This goes back like forever...

Even the vitriol they had for Eleanor Roosevelt

[Ellen Forradalom]

10. Plain old sexism.

Can't have no woman in charge, you know. It's unnatural and unAmerican. :eyes:

If their misogyny drives them over the edge, well, it's sad, but it can't be helped :shrug:

[hisownpetard]

11. Not enough.

[cobalt1999]

12. Great answer.

[hisownpetard]

Dupe

[hisownpetard]

21. Tnx!

:hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. Hopefully all of them

[Swamp Rat]

23. LOL!

Hope Springs Eternal. O8)

[proud2BlibKansan]

36. LOL Your best yet!!!

:rofl:

[Johonny]

14. yeah I'm going with none on this

These are ppl that in general can't get off their butt to do things. I support the war... in theory, I'm not going to fight it type crowd isn't about to injure themselves.

[VP505]

17. I say none

because they are going to mobilize into a party with a mission. Doing everything they possibly can to see to it that her Presidency will be as much a failure as Bu$h's. The Senate and House RePukes will obstruct and criticize at every opportunity and if she as as much as farts they will move to impeach her.

[kevinbgoode]

18. oh puhleeze. .. .rightwingers bit*h and moan and whine about everything and everyone

...including themselves. They are having fits over the prospect of John McCain. They have always been obsessed with hating Hillary Clinton - nothing makes an impotent wingnut feel more challenged than a woman who can prove she is smarter and more capable than one of them. And yes, they can be counted on to repeat every "Hussein is a Muslim" remark they can get on their sorry-ass talk radio shows to attack Obama.

Right wingers don't have solutions - they are only good at creating problems. They live on fear-and-smear and for the last eight years the entire nation has put up with their verbal and written tantrums in our newspapers, on our airwaves, on the streets. Maybe its time for the rest of the country, which rarely gets a voice on any media, to tell the bullies that no one gives a sh*t what they think - it ain't like any of them has really ever contributed to this country.

If they didn't have anyone to hate, they'd create someone to hate - they have nothing else going for them.

[TahitiNut]

19. I can hear them wailing now: "Please! Don't throw us in the briar patch!"

:eyes:

[El Pinko]

22. They all made money had-over-fist in the 90s, but they never stopped cursing Bill.

There's no logic to their hatred. I guess it's part cultural, and part a result of media brainwashing.

[RB TexLa]

24. About as many of them as the number of left wingers who did when bush went into and back into office

And probably about as many as the number of right and left wing celebrities that moved out of the country because someone was elected.

[Thothmes]

26. Probably about the same number of left wingers

that did so when W took over the White House twice.

[Tesha]

27. Not enough. (NT)

[LanternWaste]

29. About the same amount as were any Democrat elected President.

About the same amount as were any Democrat elected President.

Either way, I'm more than happy with the strength, qualifications and savvy of both of our current candidates. :)

[warren pease]

30. Hopefully, enough to restock all the blood banks from here to Florida...

Which would have two very positive outcomes, which I'll leave to your imagination.

wp

[movie_girl99]

31. hopefully ALL OF THEM!!!

I say good fucking riddance.

[DainBramaged]

32. How many so-called Dems would?

I'm just sayin'.:hide: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

33. Jesus How Many DU'ers Would?

Personally, I'm hoping she gets elected for the joys of seeing both sides of extreme squirm.

[spinbaby]

34. Plus, Obama the stealth terrorist terrifies them

They're really upset about McCain the fake conservative, too. And not too crazy about Mormon Mitt. It's good to know they'll slit their wrists no matter what.:eyes:

[mwb970]

35. Except they wouldn't slit their wrists.

Dreamer! They would immediately go on the attack and do anything and everything to bring her down.

[ieoeja]

37. That has always been the one reason I would almost vote for her. n/t

[Scout]

38. not nearly enough? n/t

[Touchdown]

39. Dunno, but if it's a lot, then we'll have universal health care faster.

Because they're all for government help, unless someone else (especially black) are getting the help.

[GoneOffShore]

42. Not enough. n/t

[bemildred]

43. Aw, you are just trying to cheer us up. nt

[Libby2]

44. Not nearly enough.

[Vinca]

45. I don't know the number, but if it's significant I'd make a commercial out of it.

:rofl:

[KansDem]

47. Let's find out, shall we?

}(

[prolesunited]

48. I'm sorry so many here seem to take joy

in contemplating someone's suicide. What is wrong with you?

Sure, it's just a joke. Suicide always makes me laugh.

[leftofthedial]

50. How many left-wingers would slit their wrists if Hillary were elected President?
