Swindlers' List

By Miss Kubelik

It's been three months since the election; we're a few weeks past Inauguration Day, and we're coming up on the State of the Union Address. So we cats think that for all those right wingers who are alleging voter fraud, it's time to put up or shut up.

Take our word for it, the conspiracy-mongers are out there. They're teabaggers and Freepers — who otherwise seem kind of down and dispirited — but who still rouse themselves for a multiple-comment thread of umbrage any time someone asserts pro-Obama electoral irregularities on the Internet. Pathetic!

Therefore, to all the wingnuts, we say: Tell us. Tell us the specific precincts in which Romney votes were suppressed or uncounted. Tell us how many of them Romney would have won (if the dreaded Obama machine hadn't been handing out free cell phones, that is), and by how much, and what difference those precincts and Congressional districts and uncounted thousands of votes would have made in the Electoral College. We cats want numbers. Oh, and some proof would be nice, too. Names of disenfranchised Romney supporters would be swell.

Somehow, though, we're not holding our breath. The right-wing nut cases have no figures. They have no facts. They just like to rant to each other in the echo chamber, and reinforce each others' opinions about imaginary electoral skullduggery that they're certain is true.

Meanwhile, here's the irony: Despite the Freepers' screaming about ACORN, and Hurricane Sandy, and Chris Christie, and all the other stupid things that were supposed to have tossed Election 2012 Obama's way, the President probably would have won by 6.5 to 7 million votes — instead of a mere 5 million — had the superstorm and Republican voter suppression never occurred.

We're just pointing this out to ensure that, as we all settle in for our SOTU watching parties, the teabaggers understand just how small a minority they've become. We cats PURR.
