All day yesterday, if you listened to the election coverage, you heard liberal pundits smugly decreeing that since people were coming out in force to vote, that was a bad sign for Mr. Bush. Traditionally, high voter turn-out doesn't favor an incumbant; supporters of incumbants are more likely to stay home on election day.
Over the course of the evening, that smug assurance transformed into unexplainable shock. People did come out in record numbers yesterday, and they rolled for the red. Near-record numbers of first time voters went to the polls, and a whole shit-ton of them voted Bush.
After the 2000 election, Karl Rove, the president's infamous advisor, was quoted in several interviews as believing that there were 4 million votes out there that the GOP could've garnered, but didn't, from evangelical christians that didn't go to the polls that year. One of his goals for this year was to make sure they did. And if you're looking at the margin of victory in the popular vote, just under four million, it becomes pretty obvious that he was successful.
While there were several issues at play this year that played to an evangelical base, with the exception of stem cell, those are the same issues in every election: abortion, as an example. These sorts of things don't mobilize voters. But you know what does?
Faggots.
There were 11 referendums in 11 different states across the nation yesterday that decided the fate of gay marriage and, in some cases, civil unions for gays in those 11 states. Not coincodentally, all 11 were in states that have a strong show of social conservatives, and half were swing states, the most infamous being Ohio.
Wanna' know the easiest way to bring out God-sponsored hate-mongering assholes to the presidential polls in record numbers? Yeah, you all see where it's goin'. I'll save the jokes.
