The "Electoral Precedent"
Sick of the seemingly endless presidential theater? So are we. Alas, there are 20 more days to go, so to kill a few minutes here are some cartoon anecdotes of previous presidential 'precedents' courtesy of XKCD.

No Communist or Muslim has ever been elected......Until 2008
Neither has any Kenyan national.
There has never been a black man re-elected.
I thought he was half white?
No half-black, half-white guy, with multiple last names, of questioable origian, who was abandoned by his parents, associated with treasonists and communists, attended a racist church, won his first term by defeating a "moderate" Republican ex-POW named John, usurped untold power, nationalized the banking, automobile and health care sectors of the economy, has never bowled over a 100, and is totally pussy whipped by his wife...has ever been re-elected.
But neither has a Mormon...
He's totally black.
Bear in mind, "black man" has nothing to do with actual genetic makeup.
Exactly how does that work?
No one who wasn't a bankster puppet has ever been elected.
Beg to differ...Perhaps if you said, "in the last 100 years"...but point taken, +1 from me.
Uh...
What about Andrew Jackson?
Pigment and national origin no longer determine if a person is "Black"; only political ideology, with a requirement of being Democratic, Liberal, etc...
There has never been a black man re-elected.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Wasn't Biw Crinton our first Black president?
yes he was. and now http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/barack-obama-the-first-female-pre...
No one born in the State of Hawaii has ever been elected President.
The U.S. Government just released that violent crimes increased by 18% in 2011.
A little sample of what's in store for us. That's what happens when a president pits
the poor against the rich. Obama will go down in history as The Great Divider.
In the meantime, guns and ammo sales are sky-rocketing.
A gun in hand is better then a cop on the phone
Post-presidential debate, Obama supporters renew vows to murder Mitt Romney
So all the Bama-phones are mainly used to text-shoot Romney. Apparently, the police use their phones to intercept and record the threats.
All the social-appologetic closet conservatives in my office are seriously considering buying guns, and just need a slight up-tick in reported violent crime to pull the purchase trigger, so to speak. -Long RGR.
whoo hoo, the consumer reigns!
and don't forget all the gun accessories!
Dick Gazinia
And let the BULLSHIT begin. from you that is.
Here is a real one, no Non-Mason has ever been elected.
You have a bad case of gay Jungle Fever
Dick Gazinia
Dude never project your personal desires on total strangers.
So what if you like Black cock deep in your throat?
You people can now be married in various states.
But when you make an ass out of yourself by claiming a corporatists is a communist, everyone needs to call bullshit on that.
Either that or you are confused by the definitions of political ideas.
Which means you posted out of ignorance.
Ah, Gully. It's been a very long time (months!) since I've seen you here on ZH. Looks like a vacation didn't do you much good...you're still a jerk. But please...keep the hits coming. We like the entertainment. And when you finally decide to say something thought-provoking, we *might* pay attention.
Gully - just in case you weren't aware ... it is not mandatory to hi-light all and then place the little arrow thingy over the 'B' after writing in order to post on ZH.
Really.
Cue up intro to VH's "Everybody Wants Some".
My father was a 33rd degree mason of the Scottish Rite variety. So was my uncle. Knowing what I know about freemasons I stay as far away from them as I can.
Actually, Obama does not believe in anything but Obama. Indeed, nothing else exists in his universe. Thus, he is not a Communist or a Muslim. He is himself.
In that respect, how is he different from Mits?
There is, hoewever, (cough) one perfect candidate.
hah very nicely done :)

While I understand this comment may be trying to be funny, it's really just disturbing because of the shear number of people who actually believe this bullshit. Can't wait until the older generations die off.
Just write in BOOBIES and vote for both of them.
LoneStarHog
Can't I just attach a pic?
Works better for me, that whole visual aid thing..
Just for the record, I'm going to start junking every post that either:
(1) is in all bold without any apparent reason; or
(2) provides a bare web link without any description of why someone should click on it or where they are going.
"Just write in BOOBIES and vote for both of them."
That's not what YOUR MOTHER said last night, Trebek!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTOCSpGwea8 (apparently you can't use the full video on Youtube anymore, only audio, still hilarious).
Prior to 2008 we never had a Kenyan president.
Dr. Engali
But we may have had a half Black president before.
Google it up and it wasn't Clinton.
Obummer was born in Hawaii - he's using misdirection since the real issue is who his real father (a communist leader) was - google 'dreams from my real father'
I dont like Obama, but stop spewing propaganda.
So it's propaganda because why? Obummer did not write it in his book? Or it's not on yahoo or CBS news? There is much americans do not know about this potus - and that is outrageous.
No candidate has ever GOLD, BITCHEZ!
now that was funny!
We the commoner's - the massess - are 0-44 when it comes to the election
.
'They' are 44-0
.
Heads they win...
tails we lose.
.
That is the situation each and every single time.
That is how you control the outcome - by owning both sides.
BLOTTO
I don't know what winning and losing are anymore.
The majority of human history we have been ruled by Aristocracy. Most of the rest of the world still is.
I've often advocated an Enlightened Despot or a Bakunin Anarchist system.
Hell I'll even go a Faithist based structure as found in the OAHSPE.
I'm at the point that they have left me no other option - no other choice - but to think 'hocus pocus' like.
Thats it.
The End.
.
Reality is their illusion.
Their fiction is the reality.
The greatest trick the devil PTB ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist elections meant you were free.

Yes. Election is not democratic: Letting someone else decide for you and... not deciding anymore.
Best movie ending EVER!
That wasn't a trick. People will believe almost any lie you tell them. Case in point, Hope and Change.
No one has needed an extra large tub in the whitehouse since Taft...until Romney married wife 2 3 and 4.
No one that has run up 10 trillion in new debt has been reelected
No one that eats dogs has been reelected
I guess it never ends. Now we need a woman, a black woman, a hispanic, a hispanic woman, an asian, an asian woman, an indian, an indian woman, a gay, a lesbian, and a chimera. That should finish out the 21st century.
Wait - haven't all presidents been reptilian, well, since at least Roswell.
A lawyer, a Muslim and a Communist walk into a bar. The bartender says, "Hello Mr. President."
A naked woman walks into the same bar with a poodle under one arm and a six foot salami under the other, the president eats the dog, throws out the salami cuz it has pork in it, and ignores the woman because her ass isn't big enough. BA-DUM-BUMP
No 'PhD Econ' in your list??
Hater!
You forgot 'pet rock.'
Actually, it would be good for everyone if an Asian woman became president...because they don't let the president drive.
What about a half-black, half-Asian woman married to a half-hispanic, half-indian woman? We could kill five birds with one (probable) stoner.
By 2100 you'll probably be able to vote for each known ethnicity in one person for President since all Americans will be mongrels by then.
Sounds like TV football insta-stats:
...and that's only the third time in a post-season game that a second period interception by a lineman has resulted in a touchdown which evened up the score but in neither of those previous two instances did the other team end up winning the game.
I noticed that a couple of years ago. Must be they felt those stats were safer after the ad libbing by Jimmy the Greek?
pods
No candidate whose first name is Dwight has ever lost an election.
No civilization in the history of the world has ever recovered from back-to-back heads of state who exhibited anywhere near the levels of fucktarditude of GW Bush and Barak Obama.
France w/ sarkozy/new guy?
C'est fini.
France has banned wealth and homework, but not paper money.
A printing press in every cottage!
Only presidents that have the wellbeing of the nation at heart can be elected....
until washington was!!!
pods said it best a couple weeks ago: "What a fucking clown circus this nation has become."
Secession Anyone?
No one who has not been elected has become president
But does it matter?
Quite true, but that doesn't take into account that the president doesn't run the country, the elites and their stooges like Barnanke do. None of whom are elected. They just make sure their "guy" wins. And they own both "guys".
Election Debates – NOT!
Between “Tweedle Dee” and “Tweedle Dum”,
Between Evil Two and and Evil One,
Between Sock Puppet Left and Sock Puppet Right,
Please, make your choice, you have all night.
Heads you lose, tails I win,
Can’t be fairer than that!
Hell, it’s been this way since so long ago,
You can't count, you’ve lost, I know!

Yuck--I hate these new Undertone ads that just pop up. Guess it's time to donate to ZH in the hopes that will make them go away. But if the occasional donation AND those awful popover ads are what it takes to keep ZH online, then so be it. I'm still coming out ahead.
If you're a geek, howcome you aren't running Chrome with AdBLock? I never get unders, popups, of popovers on this or any other site.
I'm at the office and have little sway with IT. Aside from that, I'm not a fan of Chrome due to a couple of crashes.
Firefox with Adblock and ghostery .... never see an AD and don't even get the commercials when I watch TV online.
(ghostery blocks those nagging little cookie readers that track your browsing history so they can target ads at you.) You'd be surprised at how many there are.
Undertones ads? is it re-union time already??

Kudos to XKCD.
No half black, half white guy who likes hummers from his body man have ever been reelected President in a year ending in a 12.
you'll miss Obama and all the cock fantasies. . . it just won't be the same with Mittens, will it. . .
no one that derives their worldview entirely from conspiracy blogs and Fux News has anything novel, informative or genuinely humorous to say.
Angry vitrol? yes. Paranoid delusions? yes. Crude threats of violence? sure. But aside from mental dysfunction, nothing notable.
animals are great. You get all the fury without the self-worship.
there's certainly a lot of old leftover racial stereotypes cropping up - particularly around Obama's black cock & what he might do with it, or receive, blahblah.
which of course, is working as intended as a distraction. minds fixated on porn memes, and unacknowledged desires have very little space left for critical thinking - it's all sensation at that base level.
if all "they" see when looking at Obama is a black man that feeds into some sexual fantasy their mind can fill in the blanks, then those who pull the strings have 'em by the balls, definitely.
Mason?
...
let's see a show of hands... how many on here have or had a dad or grandfather that was at least a 32 degree Mason?
...
hmm, thought so...
Another reality schism where my world intersects with my daughter's. She reads this cartoonist :-)
Given that this was a joke thread, it's a good place for this:

I know most folks around here hate Facebook and all, so I nabbed the pic only. Check it out, it really is funny as hell.
No candidate running for POTUS has ever been elected by the popular vote.
