Lou Dobbs: Obama "still didn't receive a majority of the votes in this country, just those cast."

[Occam Bandage]

DOBBS: Next year, 2010, which is, obviously, going to be a signature year because it will establish, first of all, the power of this presidency and this president, all that he is embraced by at least the national media, he still didn't receive a majority of the votes in this country, just those cast.

It's going to be a test that -- do you think that there's anything for any reason for Republicans to even have any hope whatsoever to come up against the (INAUDIBLE) of Democratic powerhouse?

...what?

[mix]

1. that's some desperate logic & specious reasoning n/t

[JitterbugPerfume]

2. WTF does that mean LOU??

he is just another crazy old man babbling away on tv

[steelmania75]

3. lol, we're not even done with '09 yet. Lou, go away.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

4. Don't you know?

Gee, the ignorance of some people is astonishing.

Let me explain LouDobbsThink:

There are votes out there - sort of like the souls of babies who die before being baptized, and are thus consigned to Purgatory - floating around, wings flapping, and they are all the votes of people who didn't vote (SHUT UP! I'M EXPLAINING!) but who had definite preferences in the election.

The vast majority of these flapping votes are for a candidate other than Obama. LouDobbsThink knows this because he also has things floating around in his head, flapping, and they tell him secrets.

They were for Lou Dobbs.

So, unless and until these flying, floating, flapping votes find their way into the ballot boxes - and LouDobbsThink espouses constant prayer and eschewing Mexican food - we have a President who only got a majority of all the votes cast and counted.

But he did not get all the votes.

Clear now?

6. snowflake votes

:hi: :yourock:

[PearliePoo2]

5. Hey..... bitter, nasty, racist Lou. Riddle me this:

What "other" kind of votes are there besides ones that are CAST???

[Occam Bandage]

7. Obama didn't even get 5% of the votes that were uncast!

[PearliePoo2]

11. That is now perfectly clear! nt.

:crazy:

[Warpy]

8. That's like saying if all the Democrats stayed home

McCain would have won. It's idiotic.

Somebody please tell that idiot that the only votes that matter are the votes that are cast.

If "his people" don't get their butts off the couch on election day, they don't count.

[zeemike]

22. Or it is not a vote unless it is cast.

I mean that is the definition of a vote.

[RagAss]

9. Lou ... you fucking Otis "the drunk" Cambell !

10. An uncast vote is not a vote, fool. n/t

[Myrina]

12. That made my head hurt.

:wtf:

[Cant trust em]

13. Right he didn't get all of the people's votes...

just those who cared enough to actually vote.

[graywarrior]

14. Lou is a bigot

and an angry, pissed off asshole.

[PA Democrat]

15. Wow! Dobbs is a mind reader as well as an expert in semantics!

Disregard what your dictionary says folks. A vote is the political preference held deep in the subconscious of people (including those that didn't CARE enough to actually go to the polls) that only Lou Dobbs is able to determine.

OMG! Dobbs is the answer to problems with voting machines people! Forget about holding elections. We'll just have Lou Dobbs probe the minds of Americans to determine who the people REALLY want.

[Deja Q]

16. Well Lou, maybe you could have gone out there and convinced more people to vote.

:shrug:

[4lbs]

17. Hey Lou how about this: Obama received more GOP votes than McCain did from Democrats.

n/t

[Occam Bandage]

28. Yeah, but only among the votes that were cast! nt

[Stellabella]

18. Is Dobbs drunk all the time? Why does he slur his words so badly?

That's got to be the explanation for one of the dumbest sentences I've heard in a looooong time.

[0xDEADBEEF]

19. What REALLY matters

Who got the most Electorial College votes?

If that's the only thing that mattered in 2000, then it's the only thing that mattered in 2008. You can't have it both ways!

[LostInAnomie]

20. "Your team didn't score the majority of the points!..."

... just the majority of the points made!"

[rvablue]

21. And neither did any other President in modern history and maybe ever! n/t

[omega minimo]

23. He's confused, thinking of Reagan's "Landslide"

[aquart]

24. He's trying to believe all non-voters are Republicans.

But Democrats outnumber Republicans. And non-voters? Huge numbers of people just never give a damn about politics.

[sufrommich]

25. We need a better system of counting votes in this country

too many unvotes are not being counted.:crazy:

[Vinca]

26. The chemicals in Lou's refrigerator white teeth must be seeping into his brain. nt

[ClusterFreak]

29. Funniest comment of the day!

:rofl:


...and if Krusty The Klown were here he'd laugh that maniacal laugh of his, and then say..."refrigerator white teeth...oooh, that's good...that's goin' in the act!"

[IDemo]

27. If a vote falls in the forest and nobody is there

will it be counted? :crazy:

[Jim Sagle]

30. So what's an uncast vote, Lou? Whadda dumbfuck.

[liberalpragmatist]

31. Um... so, who was the last president to receive a majority of all voters?

Seriously - you'd probably have to go back to the 19th Century - when the franchise was pretty restricted - to find anybody elected with a majority of ALL voters.

[saltpoint]

32. If we did not have Lou Dobbs to clarify issues for us, ladies and gentlemen,

where in God's name would we be?

[WI_DEM]

33. Well the same then could be said about Saint Ronnie too.

[Raine]

34. Lou votiing is the name of the game

sometimes voting counts for nothing (like 2000) but those that don't cast a vote absolutely count for squat.

[fishwax]

35. he didn't even receive a majority of the votes cast

just those cast in this election. Some "mandate" that is :eyes:

[blogslut]

36. duuude

Wait...what?
