GOPers where we were 8 years ago
Edited on Sun Jan-25-09 09:35 AM by liberalpress
I'm in this coffee shop yesterday, waiting in line, when I overhear the guy ahead of me talking to his buddy:

"I wish I knew the names of everybody at work who voted Obama. I'd fire all of them. If they demonstrqte poor judgement like that, then they shouldn't be working for me!"

It didn't make me mad. You know why? We won. They lost. They'll just have to suck it up for the next 8, like I did the previous 8.

Schadenfreude

1. The big difference is the asshole wanting to fire everyone
is the idiot with the poor judgment that destroyed our once great nation

6. I briefly thought about that
but since I live Deeeeeeeeeeeep in enemy territory ( a county so red it maked Utah look blue)I figured I'd rather live to fight another day. Not cowardice just discretion.

7. I Hear You - I Am 6' 2" Tall and Mass 240 lbs - Not To Many Willing To Take Me On
I lit into someone the other day at a restaurant spouting right wing talking points.

I said would you shut up, I did not come to lunch to listen to your bullshit.

They were speechless.

5. Big difference is that the smart adults are now in charge. 8 years ago, they were marginalized.
If Obama and his team run the country to their high capability over 8 years, the adults will remain in charge, and brats stuck sitting in the corner forever.

Payback is a bitch. What goes around comes around. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Tit for tat. Time to pay the piper.

The good part about it is they're paying their dues on their own actions, not ours. We were the recipients of the misery unleashed by them and now they are. We can call it the trickle down karmic adjustment.
