Children Of The ACORN

If you think Republicans will come around to supporting the President on anything in his second term, you're as insane as the GOP is.  Half of them believe President Obama must have stolen the election in a massive national criminal conspiracy with the help of the long-defunct ACORN.

Nearly endless gobs of misinformation spewed from partisan media outlets in recent years had resulted in an astonishing achievement: 49 percent of Republicans now say that the disbanded community organizing group ACORN stole the 2012 presidential election for President Barack Obama, according to a survey by Public Policy Polling (PPP) released Tuesday.

The finding is especially stunning considering that ACORN, which stands for The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, filed for bankruptcy and disbanded in 2010. The group was targeted by conservative media prankster James O’Keefe in a series of intentionally misleading videos that purported to show employees explaining how to force children into prostitution. Then-Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) sponsored a bill in 2009 to pull all government funding of the group, which passed and led to their collapse.

Following Obama’s successful campaign against Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in 2008, PPP found that a whopping 52 percent of Republicans said that the loss was ACORN’s doing — meaning 2012′s figures are only a marginal improvement.

The apoplectic response to Obama’s win over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney doesn’t stop with feeling robbed. PPP also found that 25 percent of Republicans said they no longer want to be American and would rather their state to secede from the U.S. than take orders from President Obama. 

To recap, half of Republicans think the President is illegitimate, and a quarter want to renounce their citizenship rather than recognize him as America's leader.

So let's see it, Republicans.  That means there's tens of millions of you out there who want out.  Let's see you line up to burn your passports and IDs and leave.  Let's see which country will take you in when you go.  Let's see you take to the streets in that Second Civil War to fight for your country back.  Let's see you go all the way like Jefferson Davis and the Confederacy.  Let's do this thing.

No?

Then shut it and accept he won.  You have a choice, you know.
