I can just hear all the wingnut Conservative/religious assholes: “SEE!! God really doesn’t want Obama to be re-elected! So he sent the worst storm he could possibly muster right before the election, making all the Democrats stay home and not vote.”

It’s Prophecy I say.

If this were true, wouldn’t God have sent it to Kenya?

It couldn’t be true; Jesus is quoted as saying, the world would end in that generation, also that he would return in his father’s glory with his angels, while some of them standing there were still alive…neither happened so the church decided that Jesus didn’t mean that generation although Matthew who wrote it used the word generation the same as we do; he wrote there was 14 generations between David and Jesus.

Would it really be that difficult to wait for right wingers to actually say something idiotic about the topic before you dis them for it?

Republicans drive pick-up trucks so they can make it out in bad weather. And they all own boats and know how to use a chainsaw.

Actually what I am reading is saying that the storm is helping Obama. It’s basically shut down campaigning for both of them and giving Obama a chance to be “presidential.” Even Chris Christie has publicly praised Obama’s handling of Sandy. While Romney is in the news for a speech given last year where he said he wanted to cut funding to FEMA.

This one says it’s because both candidates are “pro-homosexual”.

Thank God we have Ambivalid out there fighting the good fight against those evil imaginary people he just made up.

You know I can already hear those liberal assholes being all assholish and claiming that Romney is the devil if he wins.

I just posted an example of one non-imaginary person saying something similar. Granted, he’s blaming both parties, but it’s the same type of assholishness.

They’re saying it, and it was very predictable. So predictable that some preemptive dissing seems forgivable to me.  
Did you honestly think that they would suddenly change their behavior for this one event?

If some all-powerful deity wanted to suppress voting in them Lib’rul eastern states, he missed the mark by a few days. Voting is next week. By then, I predict all precincts will be open for business and anyone who wants to vote will be able to vote (or as able as they would have been without the storm).

(Side note: interesting what if, if the storm had happened exactly one week later and millions of people were unable to vote - what would we do?)

I was having the same thoughts as **Living Well** - Obama gets to be all Presidential, and Romney can’t say much of anything without looking like a political opportunist.
