He was in the situation room, he was holding hands with Governor Christie, he was being "that guy". All the while, Romney was invisible. He disappeared. You didn't even see him. The showcase of Obama, and lack of one for Romney was a very powerful image that the country took with them to the voting booth.

The whole thing is tragic. The country ultimately elected lies and Santa Claus. Rather than thinking about fiscal responsibility, they thought about stuff. All the while 2 million less people voted for Romney than they did for John McCain. Tell me that makes any sense...

I am sad for my country.

"The President made history the other night by winning re-election with unemployment above 7.1%, when FDR was re-elected"

See...this is something I myself think needs to be looked at closer. Of that 7%...I'd like to know just how many of those enjoy being without a job and more or less on unemployment benefits....AND...how many of those are refusing to take lesser paying jobs.

The Republican party continues to toss out this whole Woe is Me idea about the unemployed...but I have more than a few friends that are "unemployed" but are refusing to take lesser paying jobs...for sure a couple in the oil related fields....thery have been made offer for employment but if it's not the $30 per hour they expect...they refuse it.

FUCK THAT....if I lost my job tomorrow and had to go back to overnight stockboy at Wal-Mart to simply insure I did not lose my mortage I would do it! I might be without lights or gas in my house but I'd be damned if I would lose it....

So I find that % highly questionable. Not saying that there are not truely some folks out there that canot find work and want to...but I personally know a few that refuse to take lower paying jobs....and if that's the case on a wider scale...than that total number is a bit misleading.



As for Spider.....you see it's that crybaby BS mentality that pisses people off about your party. "I am sad for my country"....well newsflash....the other half of your country is just fine with what took place. Instead of being sad....how about actually trying to re-evaluate your stances on issues and try to win back what you think is right. Talk about not fighting to the end....

And see, the whole "holding hands with Gov. Christie" thing....once again simply mean spirited BS that turns people away from your party. WTF did you expect these men to do....was Christie NOT supposed to ask the President for help for his people during a time of crisis simply because it was election time? Sorry Mother Nature interfeared with your party's plans. Had it NOT been election time do you think Obama would have told Christe to stick it up his ass and let his people drown....wait...I'd almost bet you believe that to be the case.

It makes perfect sense.....the party you support no longer represents the make up of America...now maybe that's a tough pill to swallow, but it's true none the less....

As I said before, the Republican party has got to find a bit of gray area on topics and on policies to show that they have the capacity to pander to something other than old white guys. And this is coming from a DEEP SOUTH Texan....but even I can see the writing on the wall.

The level of denial on the part of the Republican party is insane. For one thing the party as a whole has got to start getting it's facts from the real world...not just Right wing reports....because in this case it led the entire party into a fale sense of security....the level of shock that the party has displayed for losing the Presidency AND not gaining the Senate...shows just how in the dark they were from the rest of the world that knew their numbers were not right.

I thought Karl Rove was going to wet himself on Fox News when they called it for Obama...his level of denial was hilarious.

This election also proved that all the money that Citizen's United (a shit name for a terrible idea I might add) did nothing...in the end the people's voice still carried over $$$$$.

Another thing too...the whole let's bash Obama for 4 years is old....everybody has seen it for the past 4 years and it's already starting now....all of the fear pandering, hate spewing, cock blocking nonsense got the Republican party nowhere....it's time to knock that shit off, put on your big boy pants and act like a party the relly wants to get back into power instead of cry and kick and scream about why they lost.

People like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and that total cunt Ann Coulture, and to a lesser degree Bill O'rielly ......does nothing for the Republican Party...all they do is make people dislike the pary more....you have to shut those assholes up.

Now I've heard that there have been talks about no more "moderates"...no more Doles, McCain's or Romneys...next up HAS to be a hard core, big dick swinging Right wing Conservative.

I promise you....if the Republican party does that, they will lose bigger than they did this year. That shit is old and stale and in 4 years with newer younger voters being eligable and a bunch of old folks dying off....it will be party suicide.

If they would have put up some die hard tea party type guy that represents everything the Republican party has been about these past four years, they would have been absolutely destroyed worse than anyone in the history of the world.

And fuck that nonsense people are putting out that this wasn't a big victory. Obama won in a landslide. 332 to like 206 or something (depending on how Florida sorts out).

Fuck that shit about this being a close election. Shit wasn't close.
