CNN: Laugh at Ohioans bitching about jobs

[private_ryan]

sorry but I'm really low on sympathy. My heart goes to the dems but face it: Ohio loves Bush and what the prosperity that he brought.
Let them eat and pay their rent with their f-ing christian values
http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/presents/

[Triana]

1. "let them eat Jesus"... (n/t)

[ispeculate]

33. LOL Bon Apetite!

[mark11727]

36. Is it in poor taste to go back for seconds on the Communion line..?

...after all, I didn't have breakfast yet.

[KlatooBNikto]

58. Correction: Bon Ape Tite!

[Jackpine Radical]

84. A thought that was bon ape tit.

[Sannum]

2. I have no sympathy.

[sonicx]

3. at least them gays can't get married...

how could i get through my day? :crazy:

[TalkingDog]

61. What a GREAT bumpersticker!

LOST YOUR JOB? No Problem....
At least them gays can't get MARRIED!

[RPM]

4. either no cognative skills or just blindly faithful

I guess their (il)logic goes like this
Hmmmmm - huge outsourcing under Bush admin.
My job may be outsourced.
I'll vote for bush.

bizarre :scared:

Or worse -
Hmmmmm - huge outsourcing under Bush admin.
My job may be outsourced.
I'll vote for bush - I'll get a job in the Marraige Sanctity Enforcement Corp

double :scared::scared:

[w4rma]

5. It especially sucks to be them. They screwed themselves over.

No sympathy from me, either.

[FM Arouet666]

6. Get over it!

You voted for Bush, you made your bed, now sleep in it. Oops, sorry you won't be able to afford a bed because your unemployed. Agreed, sympathy runs thin for red states.

[Jawja]

67. Well they can always

sign up to go fight in *'s war. I mean, if they are taking 56 year old reserves, surely these newly unemployed men in Ohio are eligible to go to Iraq?

[Adamocrat]

7. I hear the Catholics give out crackers and wine...

at least on Sundays.

Fuck Ohio. My queer dollars aren't going to any red states (other than the one I live in, unfortunately).

[RivetJoint]

60. You hear wrong

[Bridget Burke]

64. Sorry, no.

That's not what Catholics do.

[datasuspect]

78. no

they give out the flesh and blood of god jr. and commit ritualized group cannibalism on sundays.

[kerry2win]

8. problem with that is

most of the ones complaining voted for Kerry who did win Ohio before buttface stole it

[hinachan]

28. If they really voted for Kerry

Then they've got plenty of time on their hands now to write and call their local government to complain about the stolen votes. Or at least mention this while you're whining to the CNN reporters.

Nah, I think these people are just your Wal-Mart Republicans, acting as if all welfare recipients are just lazy bums (hmm, never occurs to them that a lot of people end up there when the unemployment runs out). Well, now we can say THEY'RE just lazy bums.

Cry me a river, fucktards. Sleep well, fully assured that gays will never marry, and Iraqis are being liberated (of their lives, that is).

FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS! Bwa-ha-ha!

[kerry2win]

34. I'll bet you have a job

everything is fine in your world so F everyone else ...sounds like a republican

[Jawja]

68. Well, yes.....

If they REALLY voted for Kerry and Ohio was stolen, why aren't they in streets demanding something be done about it?

[kerry2win]

70. a lot of people I talked to

are resigned to the fact that the system can't be fixed and have given up. Many have said they will never vote again. Great country we live in where the it's all about the rich.

[BeatleBoot]

9. "New Rule" - Ohio can no longer complain about the economy...

Its part of Bush's ownership society.

You voted for him - you own everything he's about.

[kerry2win]

13. I live in the poorest city in the US who voted 85% for Kerry

These are the people who are getting screwed front and back

[Imperialism Inc.]

56. My county (Franklin) voted for Kerry.

Do we get a reprieve?

[OhioChick]

10. Keep in Mind

That not all of us here voted for Bush........

[gorbal]

18. Who really believes it is a "Red State" anyway?

Face it, a few hundred thousand more votes Kerry's way and you would all be patting Ohion's on the back as fellow blue-staters and Republicans would be discussing "what is wrong" with their party on Faux news.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

20. There are many wonderful Democrats in red states

Myself included. I understand the irritation that people feel toward the red states. Hell, I feel it toward the blind morons that voted for * in Texas.

Ohio is a real exception when you take into account all the voting issues there. Texans don't have that excuse, the majority are just twits.

[Fovea]

23. I agree.

And as a Kansas Dem, I thank you .

[nebula]

11. Only, uhh,...

It seems Ohioans didn't get much of a chance to vote. Many were barred or turned away from the polls for one reason or another. Or if they did, their lucky if it got counted. Blackwell did them a favor and took care of that for them.

[Chelsea Patriot]

77. Only, uhh,...Who elected Blackwell?

[hatrack]

12. Eat your Bibles, nosh on your homophobia, revel in your righteousness

And if that doesn't fill your dumb stomachs, then I don't know what will.

[EST]

26. Unfortunately, the cultural blindness that a strong belief system

brings to many includes the forgetting of some basic human principles. One of those axioms most neglected appears to be, "One man's religion is another man's belly laugh." Sometimes the sheer idiocy of the human creature leads one to question the value of saving humanity.

[noamnety]

14. Ohio is purple, not red

and would have been blue if not for the voter suppression.

So let's make sure we aren't lumping them all together in some kind of generalized hatefest, okay? I'm not from Ohio, but I imagine these kinds of posts are pretty painful to read if you are a DUer who worked their ass off only to watch their savings slip away, and then worked their ass off for Kerry only to watch the election get stolen.

[OhioChick]

15. Thank You......n/t

[private_ryan]

24. Ohio got what it deserves

true not all voted for him, but not all the US voted him either and we deserve what we get. That's the way it goes.

[sonicx]

25. that's true. therefore...

let's hope the OH freepers get what they deserve.

:D

[hinachan]

37. I know, I'm from a red state too

But my point was (and I can't speak for the other folks here) is that, if you DID support Kerry, you should be speaking out about the theft of the votes which is causing the economic situation being reported on CNN. I mean, if you've got time to talk to CNN reporters, you've got time to get on the phone and bitch at Katherine Blackwell, et al. On the CNN report, I saw *one* guy with an anti-Bush protest sign. Not exactly the kind of groundswell that's going to make the Ohio SoS sit up and take notice, you know??

So my statement still stands--I fully realize that the Ohio Dems busted their butts, and I salute them all. But this CNN program just reeks of typical Repuke behavior...small-town America having nothing but contempt for "dem evil libruls", but they're the first to whine to the "librul" media when they have problems.

Tell it to Fox News, people...your neighbors TOLD you why you should vote for Kerry, but would you listen? No-o-o-o-o-o......

[pacalo]

16. Not ALL of Ohio "loves" Bushitler --

nor did ALL the southern states vote for him. Grow up.

[Ducks In A Row]

17. Since some many Ohioans were fucked over at the polls by their pols

I have sympathy for the people who are trapped in that state.

[Contrary1]

22. If the people...

in Ohio were denied or robbed of their vote, then they
need to demand something be done. For God's sake, don't
just sit there and take it. it will just keep happening
if people don't stand up.

[agingdem]

19. Our new mantra...

Not My Problem!!!

[AngryOldDem]

71. Not our problem?

It will be before too much longer.

[blueblitzkrieg]

21. I feel for those Ohions that voted Kerry....

to the jobless Bush-voters: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

and fuck yoU!

[meisje]

27. This shows your ignorance - do you think all Mexicans are gardeners?

You simply can't group all of Ohio as Bush lovers, to do so would be irresponsible and ignorant. Chances are a majority of us in Ohio voted for Kerry, it just was not recorded that way.

[kentuck]

29. What a Christian thing to say....

:)

[private_ryan]

30. what a christian thing to do (give Bush the presidency)

n/t

[The Zanti Regent]

50. According to my family in Western PA...

...The KKKristian thing to do was to cross the border and bang on Ohio doors to push Issue 1. Among those doing that were unemployed nephews and nieces who cannot find work and have exhausted TANF benefits.

The reason why the went on the bus with other members of the ASSemblies of Gawd?

"Gawd is testing me"

You cannot reach them, they are totally brainwashed and lost.

[RivetJoint]

66. Yeah, it was all Ohio's fault

I mean the election was totally up to them. NO ON else even voted. So let's root for our fellow Americans to be out of jobs. That's the Democrat way--we CARE about our fellow man SO MUCH!

[Phentex]

63. Thank God I'm atheist!

:)

[Strelnikov_]

31. I Liked The GOP Mayor Playing Up All The Positives Of Canton

Balloon classic, rib burn-off, style show, Hoover grand parade.

Kinda reminded me of the chamber-of-commerce type in Roger and Me.

Her answer was for people to retrain. Guess she got the memo.

[GRLMGC]

32. It was too close to say that

If Ohio had overwhelmingly voted for Bush than I would be laughing at their pain but it was way too close. Too bad for the Kerry voters that they were slightly outnumbered by morons. I know they did the best they could.

[Cat Atomic]

35. It's not like Ohio is some deep-red Republican stronghold.

They're a swing state. I feel bad for the rational people there. The Republicans and Bushistas can go fuck themselves.

[OutsourceBush]

38. Screw the red states

We know who they are and we will cry no rivers for the collective idiots. I am in a red state and I still feel this way. Yes, it is unfortunate that many dems live with these cave people, but the cave people need to suffer the results of their stupid uninformed voting. Once they hit rock bottom, no job, no food, no shelter, military draft of their kids... maybe they will get a clue what Bush fascism that they voted for is all about.

[GRLMGC]

39. Somehow

I doubt those Bush voters will get it. The have a "man of God" as their President, remember?

[GetTheRightVote]

41. If justice is served the people of Ohio will over come schrub

and his posse of thiefs. We must take care of our own where ever they live or less we fail as members of the same just cause. Once blue always blue, blue values include compassion, you know those values the repucks believe we do not have and they do. Try not to prove their point to them or others, live up to our values for they have none, they stole this election.

[noamnety]

51. Take a look at the purple map

http://www.princeton.edu/~rvdb/JAVA/election2004/

It's not the fault of a person that they live on this side of an arbitrary state border, or another side. Obama was right, we shouldn't be thinking in terms of red states and blue states.

Nor do I think it is solely the responsibility of the red staters to get off their collective butts and yell about election fraud. For all we know, vote hacking could have been done from Hawaii. Really, what the hell was Cheney doing out there? Election fraud is a national issue, not a red state issue.

Hmmm. Yeah, what the hell WAS Cheney doing out there?

[Bridget Burke]

65. So, where do you live?

Can't tell without a profile. Ashamed?

I live in Houston, Texas. That's in purple Harris County. Sheila Jackson Lee is my rep. Who's yours?

[OutsourceBush]

42. Many of us here are unemployed or under-employed

And many of us do wish it on Bush voters. They are voting for the worst jobs President since Hoover over gay marriage, and other BS moronic issues. Did they have sympathy for me being out of work? Hell no. They voted to continue outsourcing my job. Screw them! They voted for a known liar. Screw them! I hope they get outsourced or downsized just like me. If they are war mongers I hope the draft affects them personally. Screw them! That's what they voted for, that's what they should get. I only wish them what they want. If that is cruel so be it. Do I wish it on the Dems that live in those states? Hell no.

[Forkboy]

44. "If that is cruel so be it."

So you differ from them how?

[OutsourceBush]

46. I vote for the freedom and jobs, they vote for a Christo-Fascist Nazi

If that is what they want so be it. Let them have what they want. That is not what I want.

It's about personal responsibility. I am sorry you do not understand that concept.

Sometimes people just need to get what they wish for to understand how screwed up they are. Have you never heard the phrase "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it."?

[Forkboy]

47. That is not what I want.

Yeah,I can tell :eyes:

It's about personal responsibility.

No,it's about wishing hard times to befall people because they dont think like you.

[OutsourceBush]

48. Your right, I should have voted for Bush instead of Kerry

and blamed ummm... Kerry or Clinton if I lost my job, not Bush. And, I would never have blamed myself for voting for a dipsh*t outsourcing christo-fascist nazi. Yes, I am getting my mind right now! Thanks for the tips. Will register as repuke as soon as possible. (/sarcasm off)

[Forkboy]

49. While I love sarcasm

You completely missed the point,or avoided it intentionally.

[AngryOldDem]

83. The trouble is, the rain falls on the just as well as the unjust

I worked as hard as anyone for Kerry. And my family and I will suffer the fallout of another four years probably harder than most Bush families, because we are still dealing with the effects of a layoff from 1993.

So this line of bullshit of "They voted for Bush, screw 'em" is nothing more than a scorched-earth policy that burns everybody in its path. It's also, IMHO, the Internet equivalent of a 3-year-old's temper tantrum.

[Ms. Toad]

43. That's right,

"Ohio loves Bush" just like the rest of the United States loves Bush... even the Blue states. After all, they were part of the entire country and the popular vote in the country as a whole went for Bush.

Unless you're willing to join us and "eat and pay their rent with your f-ing christian values" because you happen to live in a red country it would be helpful to stop making hurtful comments addressed to those of us who live in the smaller geographical red areas that make up the red country.

[Sleepless In NY]

45. Isn't Ohio a traditionally republican state?

That's the info I keep getting everytime I google it. That no republican has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio , either. The only reason Dems thought they had a chance there, is because so many jobs were lost this time around.

Hate to see anyone unemployed, but if they voted for bush, hard to sympathize with them. For those who didn't I agree with the rest of the posters that say they should be making a big stink about voter irregularities there.

[Ms. Toad]

52. I think you missed my point

If you accept the proposition that the geographical areas that voted for Bush are to be left to "eat and pay their rent with their f-ing christian values," then you have to accept it for the country as a whole - which is nothing more than a bigger geographical area that voted for Bush. That includes all of us - including the presumably blue state poster.

Or, if you want to look at it a different way - I live in a blue county, so I have just as much right to blame the neighboring red counties for how the Ohio as a whole voted as you blue staters have to blame the red states for how the country voted as a whole.

I know not all blue staters are looking down their noses at those of use who live in red states - but the blanket condescension directed at red state residents around here is getting to a bit much to take.

Individuals voted for Bush - not counties, states, or the country.

[Sleepless In NY]

53. Ms. Toad Unfortunately there is a problem

for a state to be declared a "Red State" that means the Majority had to vote for bush. They gave their electoral votes to him, and thats really what you need to get elected. And there's just no getting away from that.

Cant blame the minority who didn't vote for bush, but you certainly can blame the majority who did. As for the popular vote, the majority of that didn't come from the Blue States either.

It's ironic when you think about it. Blue States most effected by 9/11 & therefore the ones that should be most worried about "security", bush neither won their popular or electoral votes.

So are people a bit confused and frustrated? You bet! I don't think anyone is looking down their noses at anyone. Just trying to understand & see what we can do next. I'm sure you tried your best to convince people not to vote for bush in your state, but some how "talk" just isn't working. Maybe economic parity is the only thing that will get through to these people. Blue states are not only stuck with this jerk, but the tax burden too, and it's not fair.

No one wants to see anyone lose jobs, but if these same people voted for bush, they have to take responsibilty for their choices, just like we all have to in real life.

I think we have to look at the problems we are facing, be honest about it and try to solve it together. I meant no insult when I said Ohio is traditionally a republican state, and maybe we were wrong to expect a change this year, I don't know. In my heart I still feel Kerry won there. But what I feel and what is, are two different things. Who knows? Maybe this week will bring us better news. If not, we have to look at alternative solutions.

[pa28]

54. I'll always have sympathy for the Democrats of Ohio.

The union voters in Ohio who went for Bush are another matter. Hopefully they will be smart enough to keep any future whining about jobs, poverty and healthcare to themselves from now on.

[masaka___]

55. Let's give Ohio a break...

Many Ohioans tried to do the right thing in the face of great adversity. How many of you had to wait in a line for 8 hours to vote?

And with the strong possibility of electoral fraud... Ohio shouldn't be counted out. Let's support them in their time of need.

[KG]

57. the sorry truth is that niether party has done a damn thing to stem the

flow of good jobs from this country for the last 30 years.

it's no mystery to me that many ohioans may have voted 'values'. they knew no economic help was coming from the dem or repooks.

[flobee1kenobi]

59. In Ohio, it does no good

to write letters to congressmen or the press. They're not listening anymore. Best advice I can give to fellow ohioans, get any job that offers benefits and pays somewhat decent salary. Live cheaply, take care of the basic needs (roof over head, food, transportation)
The only way to open eyes now is to show people how bad it will get under the * administration.
And in Ohio, its going to get bad.
I just graduated with an MCSA. My job?-dispatcher, making a fraction of what I should be
My brother graduates in 3 weeks-He gave up looking for a Web design job after 2 years and is now a telemarketer.
People may not have the job they are suited for or were trained for,
but at this point, if one has enough to live on, and stay healthy, you are considered lucky.

[BlueManDude]

62. i can't feed my family, but at least those damn homos can't marry

[TWiley]

80. The American christian cannot refuse anything

which affords the opportunity for self-righteousness.

Your comment is probably not far from the truth.

[BlueOhio]

69. Not all

of us in Ohio are Morans!

:wtf:

[B Calm]

72. I'm living in a Blue State of Mind in a red state...

[0007]

73. Perhaps when the unemployment begin to swell folks won't

be able to keep cable and their whore networks?

[leeroysphitz]

75. Amen! n/t

[MallRat]

76. I'm still not fully convinced that Ohio isn't blue.

Let's give the people of Ohio, especially those in blue counties & blue towns, until the December 13th electoral college meeting to straighten this out.

For now, I'm saving my venom for people in the really, really bright red parts of our nation.
