So When Obama Wins Tuesday Night, Are You Going To Rub It In

[Parche]

To right wing neighbors or people you know that voted for McCane?

I am....:woohoo: :woohoo: :hi:

[Mojambo]

1. Oh, Hell yeah. n/t

[GreenInNC]

2. oh hell ya

I got a bet with my freeper co-worker on who is going to win.

[Cirque du So-What]

3. I'm going to be the most insufferable prick to come down the pike in a LONG time!

They're going to turn and RUN when they see me coming for months to come :evilgrin:

[Chulanowa]

4. I plan to visit a few Right-Wing boards

And congratulate them for giving their best, suggest Romney-Huckabee for 2012, and offer them virtual beer. I guarantee that will piss them off more than anything in the goddamn world.

I would do the same for my Republican neighbors, but so far... I don't have any! Vashon is a very, very, very blue place.

[stray cat]

5. Absolutely not - I'll follow Obama's classy lead

[Rocknrule]

7. Me too...

NOT
:evilgrin:

[az chela]

9. Good for us.I am with you on this one

[lady raven]

58. Shotgun!

I might be gloating on the inside and celebrate with other Dems, but I'm going to be cool with the others.

[JuniperLea]

35. I'll try... but I've never pretended to be as good a person as Obama... eom

[NoSheep]

77. I am seriously thinking I might start!

[elizm]

65. I so HOPE that all of Obama supporters do the same..

I know I will.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

69. Nope. I don't know many RWers and the couple I do know

are good friends. One said "We deserve to get beat if we can't do any better than the last few years" back in January. I'm not going to rub anyone's nose in it. But I will privately revel in the sweeping Democratic triumph we will claim on Tuesday night.

[NoSheep]

76. Ditto...except the word "classy". Can we think of a better one?

I think "grown-up" is correct but it doesn't roll off the tongue the way "classy" does. :-)

[az chela]

6. Nope I am so proud of the way Barack has handled

his campaign and I have supported him from day 1 and everyone who knows me knows that I beleive that Barack is so superior to mcsame that I dont need to say anything when he wins except how proud I feel to have been part of this election and I only back winners

[scheming daemons]

8. Yes.... for 24 hours

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. Only to a select few.

I've been waiting for a long time, in one particlar case.

[GoesTo11]

11. Nope

Any rightwingers I am still friends with, it's only because we just don't talk politics.

[Chichiri]

12. Yes.

[underpants]

13. Rub Forrest Rub

No probably not

Me and a bottle of Makers will just sit back and watch a dream come true

[Mz Pip]

14. I have one email

to send which I will not compose until Obama wins. I have a very right wing cousin in law. She believed every crap email that was sent to her about Obama. She is scared to death of an Obama presidency and it's not surprising since she believes all the bullshit.

I plan to convey my thanks for all the info that she and her friends forwarded to me and millions of others, that I firmly believe without all that bulshit flying around there would not have been the backlash of support Obama received. Kudos to her and her fellow haters. The country is sick of that garbage and this election proved it.

Basically, I will give her credit for an Obama victory. That should really piss her off.

[AtomicKitten]

15. Yes we can!

I'm practicing my happy dance right now.

[ecstatic]

16. No. I will be so happy that repugs will be the last thing on my mind

for the next few months.

I probably won't even log in to DU for a while except to thank you all and then maybe to talk about the inauguration. Then, once I get fully satisfied from seeing the repugnant pundits bitch and moan, I'll stop watching political shows and try to enjoy a normal life for a few months.

[eleny]

17. No but I'm sure I'll be wearing a very annoying smile

:D

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. I'm Gonna Rub It In To Every Possible Person Who Deserves It That I Can.

It will be GLORIOUS!!!!!!

[leeman67]

19. Hell F*cking Yes!!

we've all had to endure 8 long years of these assholes telling us to "Get over it!" and calling us traitors and worse for not supporting Bush and his illegal war. F Them Royally!

[kenny blankenship]

20. No.

I will celebrate and if they take that as rubbing it in that's their problem. But I will not be going around and gloating. That's a good way to lose friends and piss off neighbors-and a poor reflection on us as a party. The Repukes, yeah they do childish stuff like that. That's why they are Republicans.

[daninthemoon]

No. That is something I expect from rwers who only care about

winning instead of issues. Things are way too messed up, and I
m hoping that the wonderfully restrained examle Obama will set is the way we should all strive for. The repubs need to just sit down and lick their wounds, and maybe have some time to reflect on what these last eight years have done to them. Most of them are indeed like Sam the Plumber's helper: they bought into the fantasy that they would be rich next, and were scared of paying taxes on money they don't even have. Hell, Reagan fooled me once. Only once! these people will need help to dea,l as they learn how badly bush screwed them.

[EastTennesseeDem]

22. Subtly

I'll be wearing my Obama pin and "Yes We Can" t-shirt. Won't say anything to them unless they say something to me. I wouldn't be doing this if the people I'm surrounded by didn't pass out smartass stickers and fliers on campus.

[JuniperLea]

36. I'll probably wax passive aggressive myself...

I'm not as good a person as Obama... I'll try, but there's no way I'm promising anything.

[ShortnFiery]

23. I'll have to tune into David Gregory's SAD excuse for a show to catch the "pity party."

... but it will be fun in a warped way. :evilgrin:

[RobertSeattle]

24. I'm going to rent a NUCULAR AirCraft Carrier with 5000 Sailors, fly to it and ...

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

:evilgrin:

[Rocknrule]

31. Are you going to wear a flight suit with towels and socks stuffed in the crotch, too?

[RobertSeattle]

94. I'm a Democrat Male - don't need to...

[Kaleko]

78. Ha ha, that'll teach 'em!

:rofl: Make sure you get footage on YouTube immediately.

[renate]

25. no

I don't want to spoil the transcendent joy by getting into political arguments with them, or with anybody. I really feel as if it will be a cleansing moment for our country--of course, we'll realize it long before they do, if they ever do--and I want to do my part to end the horrible partisanship of the past eight years... or the past twelve or so years, really (I don't know when the attacks on Clinton started; I wasn't paying close attention since he was doing such a good job). This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment of joy and vindication and hope and relief, and the proper response, I think, is of compassion. At least to their faces. ;-)

However, I will most definitely enjoy--nay, relish--nay, savor--their utter unhappiness and misery... I will be cackling gleefully every time I think about how they must be feeling. But I'm not going to rub their faces in it. Not useful and not one of the things the angels of our better natures would do.

On the other hand, I'm only human, so who knows. :)

[Liberal Gramma]

26. You betcha!

[4_Legs_Good]

27. I am... not

No.

This time I think we need to figure out how to make-up as quick as possible so we can move forward.

Truth to tell, my #1 reason (among millions) for supporting Obama from the beginning, is because I felt he was the kind of person who could bring us all together.

So, no gloating, just trying to mend bridges with our guy in charge.

David

[SDJay]

28. No. The new US leader has already set the tone...

It'll be a time to heal and unite, and we need to be the ones to enforce that message, otherwise Obama's rule will face its first challenge. I don't want that challenge of uniting to be more difficult because of his supporters. I've already started with the wingnuts I know - telling them that whatever happens, we need to concentrate on getting a whole lot of shit cleaned up as soon as this debacle of a fascist regime is removed. If the bitter whack-jobs won't come together with us all, then fuck them - they can rot in their moldy corner of hate and fear.

That said, I will DEFINITELY be watching that POS Hannity swallow his shoes, and even though I've never watched it once, I'll be setting my TiVo to record The View the next day. I can gloat silently and be just as happy.

[NHDEMFORLIFE]

29. I plan on driving them nuts

With my graciousness in victory.

[budkin]

30. HELL YES.

[Forkboy]

32. Seeing as though I'm not half the man Obama is, yes, and often.

[Dr Fate]

33. I'm afraid so. I'm a BAAAAAAAD boy. n/t

n/t

[musicblind]

34. I probably will a little bit... but I WILL try and refrain :)

I'll TRY and be a good boy... but no promises.

[Anwen]

37. No.

There are enough obnoxious people out there, I don't want to add to the mix.
Plus, I can't imagine Obama condoning that kind of behavior.

Besides, my genuine joy and happiness over his victory will be annoying enough to some! :D

[Window]

38. Thank God, I don't personally know anyone who isn't voting for Obama.

[greenbriar]

39. OH HELL YEA

and if they don't like it


well hell, they can move

[tomg]

40. No. Instead I intend to patiently

and quietly wait for one year and then say "Told you so" when through his leadership and a real democratic majority this country is well on its way to recovery, peace,prosperity, and equality.

on edit: make that "Told you so, Dumbass." Revenge, they say, is a dish best served cold.

[mreilly]

87. Good plan, with one caveat

I like this plan and will do the same, at least among the few people I know who have some trepidation towards Obama's "socialist" plan to "make everyone equal" (or whatever gibberish they've heard on the AM dial). But I guarantee you that regardless of reality, no matter how good a job Obama is actually doing the Republicans are going to spend the next four (hopefully eight) years endlessly pissing and moaning about how horrible things are - and it's ALL HIS FAULT!

Gas prices could drop to $2/gallon. Employment and wages could soar. The environment could start drastically improving. Global warming might be addressed. America might be loved internationally. Peace and prosperity might wash over the land from coast to coast. 95% of the people might see their taxes drop. Terrorism might evaporate. And still the loyal right-wingers will hurl tantrum after tantrum after tantrum about how AWFUL everything is thanks to that NO GOOD OBAMA. If they can't find something legitimate to whine about (and they'll do just fine with "prayer is STILL banned from schools" or "abortion on demand has STILL not been outlawed!") they'll just make shit up, same as always. The talking points will be trotted out straight from the anus of the RNC, no different than before.

It's these people who are to be ignored. Come what may, they're determined the next four years WILL be hell. I plan to simply say to those I know: "How are your taxes? Oh, you're paying LESS than under George W. Bush? Really? Can you repeat that? What happened to this claim that Obama was going to raise your taxes? Hmmmmmmmmm?"

[tomg]

95. Absolutely right. nt

[MANative]

41. Well, I'm glad to say that the VAST majority of my friends and

neighbors are Obama supporters, but for the few who aren't, I'm thinking I'll go the gracious in victory route. We've got to start mending fences one of these centuries, or it will come to civil war on some level.

[Abacus]

42. After all the "mandate" bs we heard in '04,

it's gonna be hard not to.

[pennylayne]

44. No

After all the shit i've put up with from the rednecks at work, i would be happy if they just SHUT THE FUCK UP!

But for the sake of my sanity and my job, i will TRY very hard to be gracious and just smile, alot.

Also something tells me that it's not going to get any easier after the win, it could get even more intense..i hope not..

[mmonk]

43. I'm just going to fire off illegal fireworks that shoot high into the sky

and give off several rapports and colorful peonies. Then I think I'll play Stars and Stripes Forever very loud. Then I'll close with We Are The Champions. A very subdued and modest evening.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

55. Fireworks

We have a bunch of fireworks that we used for 4th of July and some beach parties, and still have a few left. I am going to shoot off a couple when Obama wins, mostly because I'll be HAPPY and because my street has a half dozen McCain signs on it. Heh.

When I was in Ohio in 2004 I got one phone call after the tide turned against Kerry, sometime after midnight, from a guy I know back here in California. He called me to gloat, knowing how upset I would be. That pissed me off so much. I could of coure return the favor this year but will instead take the high road. He'll know I'm thinking of him.

Fireworks for sure though. Just a couple. :)

[kenny blankenship]

73. I have a stash of fireworks that I bought 4 years ago (guess why I got em)

And a bottle of champagne has sat in my fridge all this time too. The Champs was meant to water the street, but it has slept the long, fitful sleep of abiding vengeance instead.
By the wee hours of Nov. 5th all these lodgers in my house will be turned out for good.

[mmonk]

80. At least a couple.

;)

[CANDO]

45. I'm going to avoid them.

My right wing brother is going to be downright dangerous to be around. I will just keep my mouth shut and be a gracious winner. We've got some good governing to take care of. That's what being a liberal is all about, good governance. Not so for the Cons, all they want is to shove their ideology around and prove government doesn't work. I am better than they are, in a good way.

[reflection]

46. No. I think many RWers will be on the edge anyway.

No sense in agitating when you've won. Maybe we can teach them to act like adults. I doubt it, but maybe.

[DainBramaged]

47. Is my name Dain Bramaged?

[MadBadger]

48. I may make a troll run on FR

[DesertRat]

49. No. I won't stoop to their level. n/t

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

50. No, I'll just stop avoiding them.

At least one doesn't understand why he hasn't heard from me. He's family, so I'll be kind.

The rest I'll just smirk at. They'll know why.

[crossroads]

51. Hell yeah! I just gotta...

I live in a really, really red state... Louisiana! And I put up with too many emails bad mouthing Obama to not rub it in! How sweet it will be... heheh
CR

[and-justice-for-all]

52. Like salt in a wound..nt

[SurfingAtWork]

53. On edit. Probably too tacky.

[kenny blankenship]

54. eewwww!

Tofurkey! That kind of protein just ain't natural...

[Grateful for Hope]

56. No

I know too well how devastating it is to see one's candidate lose. I don't want to add to anyone's misery.

Also, I think that Obama has the potential of becoming "beloved" by both sides of the aisle, and, I think that rubbing it in will only delay the realization that the US is being governed (after 1/20) by an extremely exceptional human being.

[ddeclue]

59. I'm gonna spike the ball and dance in the end-zone!

Youbetcha..

[Bucky]

68. The Icky Shuffle!!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

60. I have no respect for anybody who wouldn't.

After 8 years, such people must have no soul.

[Donkey_Punch_Dubya]

61. Maybe

I think the biggest jerks after the 2000 and 2004 elections deserve something. If everyone of them escapes a little razzing when they went out of their way to be sore winners before, they get off better than they deserve, and don't get to see firsthand how much it pisses a person off, and how classless it is for the winner to be ungracious. So, some of them might think twice in the future if a GOP candidate wins.

I can think of a few things that might come to mind for me, but I don't know if I would hold my tongue. Most of the time I just want to say something that can straighten out a right wing idiot by making them look stupid for supporting the GOP.

Fundies who said it was god's doing that bush won: "Where's you god now?! You have been forsaken!"

The people who agreed with Bush ruling in 2001-4 as if he won a landslide, not a controversial "tie" election, and who said Bush had some huge "mandate" after 2004 with his 2.5% win: (If Obama wins by more than 2.5%) "This is an overwhelming mandate. It's pretty much like Obama won by 40%, and the people have emphatically said that Obama has the mandate and moral imperative to govern as he wants."

Racists: "It just warms my heart that we will have a black president, and you can't do a thing about it. Think of the misery for you when he turns out to be way better at his job than most of the white dudes the last 45 years. And the only one who might be as good of a president as Obama was Bill "the first black president" Clinton. At least for you, Obama had a white mom, so you've got that going for you."

People who think democrats winning will mean 'surrendering to terrorists': "Remember when Bush caught and killed bin Laden? Me either. Why does the muslim world hate us 10 times more than in 2000? Who failed to react to the memo two months before 9/11 called "Bin Laden determined to strike inside US"? Seems like we pretty much surrendered to terrorists with Bush, but at least a bunch of oil guys got super rich, right?"

People who vote on the single issue of abortion: "Why was abortion not outlawed when bush and republicans controlled everything for 6 years, and 9/11 dampened any dissent for anything they did? Why do republicans always talk about the evils of abortion, but never do anything about it? They're playing you like a fool. Under Obama, there will be fewer abortions than under bush. I will bet you any amount of money right now. Let's see you back up your talk with a bet, even 20 bucks if you're not confident about it. If you can't, you're a huge coward. Your call."

People who believe the "Obama isn't a citizen" crap: "I guess this election shows that you can't be President if you were born in Panama. You have to be born in the USA. You know, one of the states, like Hawaii."

The people who spout the most ridiculous things about Obama and dems, like "Obama will give free money to all black people, and violence against whites will be encouraged" or "Only stupid people vote for Obama or Democrats.": "Are you ever right about anything? God you are such an embarassment to our country. On the bright side, you're upset about the election, so that's a plus."

[RBInMaine]

62. If it happens, my right wing associates will HEAR ABOUT IT !!

[BlooInBloo]

63. Well duh.

[Phoonzang]

64. Does anyone have that .gif of Obama, Hillary, Michelle, and Biden in a car?

I want to post that on one of the forums I visit. I also plan on saying "For the first time in my life, I'm proud of my country" to absolutely drive them up the wall.

[SIMPLYB1980]

97. This one?

[NightWatcher]

66. do sparklers in my ass as I run up and down the neighborhood shouting "booyah" equal "rubbing it in"

as I wave my American flag wearing only an Obama shirt?

[Bucky]

67. I will be a total shit for about three days. By Friday I'll start to behave.

Behave even worse, that is!

[rainbow4321]

70. Define rub it in. Does writing "President Obama" on my car windows and...

driving over to the Mcmansion part of my city count? :evilgrin: Cuz that is my plan for first thing Wednesday morning. Then at lunch, over to my daughter's high school where I have LOST **4** Obama/Biden bumper stickers in the last month --she drives my car to/from school each day. Of course, I haven't shared THAT "drive-thru-the-parking-lot-as-kids-are-heading-to/from-lunch" part with my daughter.
Then after lunch...down to Dallas to drive thru chimpass' future neighborhood (in Highland Park).
:woohoo: :bounce:

[Motown_Johnny]

71. Not right away, unless they bring it up first. I will give them a week or so to grieve

[markevil]

72. Some old saying about bears and the woods keeps coming to mind...

Sonething about the pope's religious affiliation also.

[TNMOM]

74. to my thug GOP brother: hell yes.

[volstork]

75. I'll keep my yard sign up for a few days

and my bumper sticker on until my car falls apart!

[my3boyz]

79. No, I will just be so grateful that people finally did the right thing. nt

[Hobo]

81. ohhh yeahhhhhhh

[zingaro]

82. No but I'm sure as hell going to wear my Obama tshirts all the time. nt

[dascientist]

83. No. I voted for Obama. A McCain supporter at the auto shop gave me a ride

because my car wasn't done yet. So no.

[pitohui]

84. "rubbing it in" is not my style, however if you wish to do so, can't blame you!

go for it :-)

[GreenPartyVoter]

85. Nothing blatant, but I will surely let them know how pleased I am.

[Guava Jelly]

86. To a few

:)

[Bobbie Jo]

88. Oh hell yes...with much pleasure.

:smoke:

[Mark E. Smith]

89. Without a doubt

I'll be hitting all the right wing blogs. And then, just to show you how
rotten I am, I'll spend some time on USENET.

[crazy_vanilla]

90. you betcha i will gloat

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: I will gloat and rub it in and gloat and rub it in some more!

I have waited for 8 years for this - how can I pass it up.

I will not be magnanimous at all!

[Blue Diadem]

91. It's not my style although I do think about it, especially

to the really nasty ones.

[FVZA_Colonel]

92. Eh, I don't think I will.

But then, even if I wanted to I'd be too drunk to speak coherently.

[frogmarch]

93. Oh, yes. Can't wait! nt

[SIMPLYB1980]

96. You know it. I'm looking forward to it.

Does that make me a bad person? I just know I won't be able to help myself.
:evilgrin:

[Tess49]

98. You betcha!

[MichaelScott]

99. Hell yeah!

I cant wait to rub it in to all the RWNJ's here at work. Theres a certain truck forum im just DYING to post and laugh at the idiots on there.

[Kitty Herder]

100. No. I value my life.

O.K. That's a bit of hyperbole. I don't think my neighbors would actually kill me. But I live in a county where 81% voted for Bush/Cheney in 2004. I don't think it would be wise to rub it in. Not if I want to live in peace with my neighbors.

Edited to add: I may do some rubbing in of the salt online, however.

[Jed Dilligan]

101. I might if I knew any.

[Nydari]

102. No, I'm in very red area so almost everyone I know

voted or will vote for McCain. The only exceptions are my boss and my husband.

[EnviroBat]

103. Fuck yes I am!

I'm going to dance in the street, give republicans the 1-finger salute, and laugh my ass off!

[AtomTan]

104. No, I'll just be thankful that I can talk to them again...

They are my family, after all.

[kick-ass-bob]

105. No. I am just going to smile and nod

and go about my business.

[Hepburn]

106. Absolutely!

I have POS neighbors ~~ husband and wife ~~ who have a BIG McAsshole sign in their front window and.....:grr:....a huge YES on 8 sign on the lawn.

Assholes....:puke:
