Conservative über-douchebag Richard Viguerie on November 5, 2004, celebrating George Bush’s re-election by an electoral margin of just 34 votes:
[The] network of conservative think tanks, advocacy organizations and pressure groups … Viguerie believes, has finally achieved its end with the reelection of President Bush.
“Now comes the revolution,” Viguerie recently told conservatives, according to the New York Times.
“…Now, we’ve got everything. We’ve got a president reelected based on running a conservative agenda. We’re thrilled and pleased. We’ve got a good comfortable [conservative Republican] majority in both houses. Now’s the time to do it.
…Now we have a comfortable margin. And George Bush has a mandate.”
Richard Viguerie on November 5, 2008, poor-mouthing Obama’s win by 179 electoral votes:
This was a vote against Big Government Republicanism, not a lurch to the Left.
…
Democrats will be under tremendous pressure – from their special interest groups such as MoveOn, unions, race-based groups, and pro-abortion and homosexual groups – to run the country from the Left. If they do, they will learn, like Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, what happens when politicians claim mandates they didn’t earn.
Bush has an approval rating of 20% and more than 80% of the country feel that we’re on the wrong track. So spin all you want, you addled conservative crack monkey: you and yours have been soundly rejected.
Happy days are here again…
