A certain % of the other side is just fucking nuts. A true story.

aka why they lost .... they live in a bubble

I am a landscaper and I was working @ a business that has been VERY good to
me today ...... they donate some extra office space to a group that does good
work and sends out "care packages" to our troops stationed in hostile areas.
Things like gum, candy, socks, gloves, snacks, hand warmers, underwear,
and lots of other things so the troops can feel some "love." They might be
right wingers but they have good hearts and do good work but today the
head of the organization told me the following (I shit you not):

Now that Barack Obama has won a second term he will use the U.N. to help
smuggle Hamas fighters from the middle east into the United States so he
has "an army" to enforce his agenda in the second term.

Where do "they" come up with this stuff?

It's well over 50% of the party or at least well over 50% of the Republicans that are politics junkies. The Republicans that only pay attention at election time, aren't so bad. But, those that watch FOX all day and go to Freeperville, at least half that population is certifiable nuts.
