I said during discussions here during the 2008 election cycle that the American electorate wants socialism.  I stand by that assessment.  Most of them don't even know what socialism is, but what they yearn for cannot be called anything else.

The American electorate loves mugging by government and doesn't care what it's called.

Another prediction: The House goes permanently blue within two election cycles.

Isn't that what happened after the Great Depression? It broke America, and made her give up on her fundamental beliefs. But then we got a shot in the arm when we had to fight the Nazis and the Commies. Now that's over, and another depression comes along, and we do it all over again.

All the commies have nukes and the nazis are kinda unimpressive these days.  So that leaves... Uhh...

I may very well go down and reregister as either independant or libertarian ....  

       

I take it you would approve if I were to do this ......

Protect your nuts. The Obama squirrels will redistribute them.

And another:  Obama gets to make two SCOTUS appointments in the next two years.

And that is the scariest part of the outcome. Obama will be long gone, yet his philosophies will be here to haunt for generations to come.

Don't worry about generations to come, worry about next year and the year after that.

Look, the truth is we needed a shock, and we got one. It was never going to be that easy. We did not take what is happening to America seriously enough. Now we will have to.

There are geniuses saying that the Republican Party must adapt to the current demographic transformation. I say the opposite.  We need to get beyond race and ethnicity, not promote and embrace it.  America is supposed to be about the individual, but right now it is about anything but.

Please, let's be honest with ourselves.  No more bitching about a GOP candidate who "isn't conservative enough".  Let's admit that, at least at this point in our history/demography, the statist mindset is ascendant.  Take whatver steps you need in order to accommodate yourself to this reality.  We are going to double down on the stupid.

This was a Lucy and the football moment.  We (me among them) actually thought this was the time we really, actually would get to kick it.  What suckers we are.

"The people have spoken... The bastards.".  Churchill was right.

I was holding on to a little hope that  Obama  would get his walking papers.
Time to reassess my position and see how much I can speed up my preperations.
On another bright note, I'm pretty much expecting to see the death warrant for my job announced tomorrow, subject to FCC approval of what I expect the company to be trying to do. Probably not a quick term proposition but still a PITA.

We now live in a country worthy of Obama.

Ten million more people getting food stamps and free phones made their wishes known - they want to keep getting free stuff.  

I've little doubt that the GOP patriarchy is snickering behind the scenes, having washed their hands of some unapproved GOP candidates, saying "Well, so much for those %$@! tea party types who wouldn't support our choices - I hope those $#@!% like their new Democrat senators. That'll teach 'em not to go along with us!"

I wonder if the prophet Jeremiah, after all his warnings to Judah, got to the point that he just shrugged and said, "They had their chance....let it all burn." I'm about there now.

Here's hoping the Persians are as nice as they were the last go-around....

Well if that election doesnt make people want to take the GOP and its leadership and put them on the scrapheap, nothing will.  

It was - at least viewed from this side of the pond - a much worse campaign than 2008, taking as it did a whole heap of advantages and making zero use of them.

There is utterly no proof of this.

This was not ever a contest of a conservative and a liberal candidate.

[geronimotwo]

what still amazes me is how most everyone here thinks we would be better off if romney had won.  you been drinkin' the koolaid.

[Scout26]

Well, who's Obama going to blame all the problems on now?

[geronimotwo]

us?

Which could be considered proof...you know, if a non-statist can not even make it to the ballot.
