I was just coming here to read the comments and see how people justified their absolute hatred for Silver in these last few weeks. He's just a statistician but they acted like he was a pundit spewing their usual pundit show one eyed views. People should really read his latest book before they rant about his methods. It's truly ironic that some people disagreed with him solely because the numbers he presented didn't agree with what they wanted them to say. I say ironic because in his book he discusses the error of reading your expectations and wants into data rather than letting it speak for itself.

And speak it did... He was spot on. Don't choke on your foot Scarborough!

Hopeisgone, need some tissue for those tears?

St. at least Joe admitted that either Nate would be run out of town or become a God after this election. Other Republicans were not so kind, especially on Fox. I am looking forward to Joe having to grow a mustache though, looks like Obama may pick up Florida unless some late arriving votes edge Obama out.

Geowil...agreed. Right after I wrote that I was reading Joe's tweets and he does seem more open-minded about it in the later tweets. I just wish he had read the book before commenting so vehemently against the process that Silver applies.

The people have spoken! Now it is time to move forward!

Congrats Obama/Biden!

Let us hope gridlock does not ensue,and we are able to get the country fully on its feet again,there is still much to fix. The hands of time will not be turned back,and I am happy for that.

The time is now for bipartisanship. Reach across that aisle for America!!

Mr. Silver's statistical analysis will prove to be 100% accurate on who won in each state and likely nearly precise on the national vote tally. He remains the most accurate predictor of election results.

100% correct + or - 2%.

Mitt Romney fails to recognize why his governing philosophy of turning everyone in America into a wage slave wasn't popular?

Sucker'll never get it..........

Neither will the rest of you pubbies.

Ironically, I heard it called by Fox 'news' first, at 11:17 PM. It was sweet, but at the same time, sad to see the baggers' party look like a funeral.

I hope we can get Boner and the House back in session now. They are on vacation, and not due back for almost three weeks.

I know. America is in a financial crisis, and they are not working. I wish they all would have been tossed out, but Obama has done it without them up to now, and probably will have to keep going with no help from them.

Come on folks. We won, let's not be poor winners.

It's time to roll up the shirt sleeves again and WORK TOGETHER.

Even before the presidential race was called for Obama, John Boehner was digging his heels in, refusing to ever move an inch on raising any taxes.

The campaign starts today to target the obstructionists whose pledge to Grover Norquist ( when did he become King anyway?), supercedes their oath of office and their loyalty to America.

Two years of work to educate the electorate in those districts and change hearts and minds.

The LIES did not work!!!!!!!!!!!!! Throwing everything including the kitchen sink at Obama from day one did not work ....

If you want a good laugh ... look at the videos from Fox election morning!!

I feel soooooooooooooooo good today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ed,

There is no such thing as a free ride. There many different people wth a variety of backgrounds and races that make up this great country. And these people were elected to gaurd them against idiot dictorships that share your frame of mind!!! That is what makes this country great, checks and balances! If you don't like it? There are a billion and some odd people in China that would love to welcome you HOME! Seriously!

First of all, Mitt is on the wrong side of history.

Second of all, Obama has had the best ground game - get-out-the-vote

third? all the stars have lined up to bless Pres. O.

.

4 more years...

RepublicanforObama,

All I can think is wow, you are in serious need of humility. Don't worry its coming! Life seems to take paths that we don't like sometimes, beyond your control. Good luck and hope you see the light and release that hate you hold for people not of your background when that happens! Because it breeds bad feelings toward you and your ideals, and people fight back. Because in this country we can. You will reap what you sow, TRUST!

"The American People SPOKE" , Four More Years !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so sad to see foolish people voting for RobMeHood putting party over Country while holding their noses !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( "Farewell to the LOOTER" ) ************************* !!!

All I can say is this country deserves what it gets over the next four years. I only hope there is a country left to save.

@RobGC

Go crawl back to your cave...you built it!!! LOL!!

I realize that it is tempting to yell, "I told you so" and all kinds of nastiness this morning, but how about we all set down our barbs and snark and work together now? He is going to be here and we all want good things for our country and ourselves, so how about we all start working together now?

And being a gracious winner is just as important as being a gracious loser. Let's be adults and be he won without being nasty about it, okay? Let's get off to a good start!

Hey....where's all the GOP trolls who promised us for months and months that Mitt Romney would win in a landslide???

For the last several months Republicans have been relying on some faulty data and overly optimistic rhetoric from strident right wing pundits who over-exaggerated the putative Mittmentum.

it does not amaze me that obama won, it does amaze me how many people voted for the biggest liar, flip-flopper, and as billy graham said, cult leader to ever run for president

Vote machine failures, when you voted for President OBAMA , Romney would end up getting the vote, the GOP elections commission said it was software scanner problems, Bull$hit - Nice try Tagg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It does seem that:

The more Mr Romney lied, and more money was spent by Karl

Rove and the Koch brothers in promoting those lies through their

multimillion dollar Super Pacs, the Midwest firewall held-up better and

better.
They lost every single swing state.

Also, Don't forget Virginia, were uncle Karl spent 53 million alone in the last

60 days.

@Gold Bars: They're taking a cue from the DEMs that are curiously silent about getting rid of the Electoral College this morning after Obama won with 2.25% of the popular vote.

Seriously, what do you expect? GOPers to come on the vine and rend their garnments and nash their teeth?

What's the difference in the Government between yesterday and today?

Answer: nothing. Obama is still the President, the Dems still have a majority in the Senate, and the GOP still owns the House.

TeaPot Daze, the GOP trolls are in hiding, the world is laughing at them !!!

Romney fails to break through in 3 key states

It wasn't hard for the people to smell the BS coming from both Robme Romney and Lyan Ryan.

Romney lost because he was clearly only caring for the top 1% like himself. It was so obvious that even some Republicans could not vote for him.

Finally the American people see Romney for what he is "A LOSER" !!!!

All Romney cared about was his 1% mega rich buddies and for that I voted a straight Democrat ticket !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now RobMeHood can go back to the Cayman's or Mexico !!!!!!!!!!!

American Greatness was Affirmed last night... Now if the Obstructionists will STOP and let America Move Forward... Everyone will Benefit!

OBAMA/BIDEN... We're Back Baby!!!

At least the House majority is Republican; that is good as they will run the show and examine and reality-check the policies of the blue team. And if they get voted out in '14, at least they'll have two years to prevent our country from sailing over the cliff.

GoldBars, I don't even have to comment anymore, cause you are doing it to yourself. Step outside yourself and take a look.

Enjoy your day, BUT get your popcorn ready. You haven't seen how bad its going to be yet. Socialism is coming, and the beginning of the end of the American Dream of Freedom.

Enjoy your day, BUT get your popcorn ready. You haven't seen how bad its going to be yet. Socialism is coming, and the beginning of the end of the American Dream of Freedom.

Socialism is taking from the rich to give to the poor....what do you call it when you take from the poor and give to the rich??? Theft??

RobGC: "hope you see the light and release that hate you hold for people not of your background when that happens! Because it breeds bad feelings toward you and your ideals, and people fight back. Because in this country we can. You will reap what you sow, TRUST!"

YOU ARE SO CORRECT SIR! And your words above explain EXACTLY why Romney lost & Obama won. Romney's crowd could not "release that hate they held for people not of their background". And we, the people, fought back. Because in this country we can. And so, the Republicans reaped what they had sown. SPOT ON! Thank you for your comment, Rob!

Socialism is taking from the rich to give to the poor

No that is not Socialism.

The GOP got what they deserved. Maybe they should look in the mirror and ask themselves if shunning the Ron Paul supporters was a good idea. We may be a minority in the party but maybe the scales would have been tipped the other way if they had shown just a little bit class and played by the rules they established.

I was interested to see how the money flowed in this election. The GOP SuperPACs didn't do the trick at all. They outspent the Democrats about 8 to 1, but the Democrats made mostly long-term ad buys in the "battleground" states very early in the campaign. They averaged about $280 an ad minute. The GOP held back and did not book ads early so they could be "nimble." As a result they were paying $4-5,000 per ad minute for the competing space. Romney may have been a businessman, but apparently not a very good businessmen when it came to managing his campaign's finances.

Voter suppression backfired and made people mad and they made a huge effort to get out and vote-standing in line for hours. Repubs spent alot time during this campaign attacking Muslims, women, blacks, hispanics, gays, and the poor. Where do they think the votes come from I wonder. I live in a solid red state but I made my vote count by sending money to the Obama campaign. It is wonderful that the good guys won.

All you blind righties who talked about Obama backing his suitcase today. I don't see it happening and then I read Donald Deranged Trump talking about marching on Washington because democracy is dead, Morris says he goofed when he predicted a Romney landslide, Karl Rove yelling at Fox for being wrong to call Ohio for Obama. These blind pundits of the right need to go and It looks like we got rid of a lot of teabuggers trash. Here in Wisconsin it is so good to see the end of the old fart Tommy Thompson who was the "Biggest Loser" of his life!

The sheep are lost this morning....Faux News, Beck, Hannity and Lush.....told them that Romney would win in a landslide!! LOL!!

GoldBars, you have a choice. Work your dead end job till you die or pursue the American Dream, and better your position. That means dropping the joint, and striving for something other than getting a paycheck to blow at the club on the weekend. You can be rich, it just takes effort and hardwork. You do have a job and know what that is right?

So by your theory then the House Repubs are responsible for the lack of progress the last two years. Nice to hear you admit it.

But it might be different this time around. Most of the freshman Tea Party members were tossed out. Obama won and pretty decisively. If the House Repubs have any sense they will work with the rest of Congress and the President to actually compromise and get something done. It's all our country after all.

One more point to make, notice how Democrats are always talking about 'compromise' but you don't hear it that much from the far right wing? Hopefully they will come to their senses, otherwise they might lose their jobs in two years.

And for all you Repubs out there hoping they don't. One has to wonder about an American who puts their sour grapes in front of the good of the country. Look in the mirror and ask yourself whether you care about your country or if you care more about hanging on to your ideology more. It's a shame and a complete disgrace you are hoping for failure again. And you call yourselves 'Americans'.

Hahahahaaa!!! According the GOP...there are NO unemployed or poor Americans...just lazies, freeloaders and cheats, right???!?!

The GOP/Tea Party narrative that cost them the 2012 election was..... "you can be anything you want to be....but if you are poor, it must be because you want to be".

To criticize and demonize those on Welfare or Unemployment at a time when the GOP/Tea Trash is at the root of our jobless environment, that has to be the largest and most unforgivable fallacy we've ever heard.

If you want to criticize those "on the dole" either wait until the economy is strong or aim at the top 1% who receives 10s of billions of dollars in corporate welfare annually and generous tax cuts like Romney......but right now you're just being self-centered and hypocritical.

The GOP = sore losers

I hear the Mormons are going to crown Mitt "King" and succeed from the union.

@dsb;

Yes excellent last paragraph in your post. Compromise must be made to continue back to the path of prosperity. Those naysayers wishing gloom and doom because their party did not win the presidency need to question the mettle of their Patriotism.

I am ecstatic that we did not turn back the hands of time. America is evolving. We need to learn to work with the machines and not against them. We need to further our education to meet the new types of employment that are on the horizon but are still in their infancy. We need to innovate.

The GOP has 2 options:

1) admit that their ideology is from the wrong century and catch up

2) double down, start the blame game and lose again

It's time for the GOP to lose the rabid Right mentality and go towards the center. I HOPE someday I can vote for a Republican again without feeling like I need to hate minorities or the poor to do so.

Let's hope more Rockefeller Republicans come back to the GOP. The GOP is WAY too Evangelical and it's now coming home to roost.

BTW I thought Mitt Romney was very gracious and made the best speech I ever heard from him in his concession speech. Bravo Mitt for showing how to stay classy.

Next Stop, Get the TeaReTards out of Congress before they destroy this Nation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's where polls are useless.

"Only three out of 10 Ohio voters said their family’s financial situation was worse than it was four years ago."

Isn't that the same percentage of diehard Republicans? The same number of people that kept giving Bush a favorable approval rating while 70% of Americans said he sucked.

In other words there are going to be a percentage of people that would lie to make the other candidate look bad.....in both parties.

Romney failed.

His arrogance contributed to the failure of his campaign.

His attitude toward 47% of this country contributed to the failure of his campaign.

His lies about requesting the "binders of women" (he was approached with the resumes and was asked to consider them) contributed to the failure of his campaign.

His attitudes toward equal pay for women and his consistent and frequent refusal to answer questions about the Lilly Ledbetter Act contributed to the failure of his campaign.

His lies contributed to the failure of his campaign.

His running mate's lies contributed to the failure of his campaign.

His Etch-a-Sketch, ever-changing views on political issues contributed to the failure of his campaign.

His total lack of competence with foreign policy contributed to the failure of his campaign.

His history of banking money overseas so he could avoid paying taxes on it contributed to the failure of his campaign.

His feeble attempt to help Sandy victims by staging a photo op and arming his constituents with merchandise HIS CAMPAIGN BOUGHT so they could be filmed GIVING him DONATIONS contributed to the failure of his campaign.

His failure as a governor contributed to the failure of his campaign.

His business practices that made profits by shipping jobs overseas contributed to the failure of his campaign.

An idiot commentator last night said Romney made ONE mistake. I can come up with many, many more than what I've listed above. I guess if we want to conclude that he made ONE mistake it was that he ran at all.

Most American Ron Paul Supporters voted for President Obama !!!!!!!!!!

The TeaReTards in Congress are the - kiss of Death to this Nation !!!!!!

Congratulations, America, on avoiding a big mistake. Now, there's lots of work to be done.

One of the lessons from last night is that leaders in Congress will have to bridge the partisan divide. We can probably dither along and avoid doing anything about immigration reform, abortion or marriage equality, but we simply have to do something about the so-called fiscal cliff. I think it's pretty clear that if Republicans refuse to budge on tax increases as part of the solution, it won't go well for them.

Another lesson is that taking extreme positions on abortion will cost Republicans elections even in otherwise red states.

Finally, I think it's pretty clear that if Republicans want to continue to be the party of just angry old white men (full disclosure: I'm an old white man, just not an angry one), then they've already had their last president ever: George W. Bush.

I am pleased that Obama has a second term. I hope that, now that he doesn't have to worry about re-election, he will stop soft-pedaling his agenda.

It's a great day.

to both the left and the right....

It is time to work TOGETHER for the COMMON cause of improving the jobs market and improving the plight of the middle and working classes.

To folks like HopeISGone... AT the VERY least respect the office of POTUSotherwise you are part of the PROBLEM. Asinine comments like yours will only further divide an already divided nation in a time when we ALL need to come together and work for the benefit of the US as a whole. This president has had to endure an unprecedented amount of disrespect and derision from pundits (Rush, Glenn, Hannity, Coulter, etc.), political operatives (Karl Rove, Norquist, Cain, etc.), Congressional members (McConnell, Cantor, Boehner, West, Gohmert, paul (s), etc.) and ordinary citizens like you. No other president in American history has had to tolerate and deal with such animosity and he has managed to move this country in the right direction DESPITE the obstructionism from Congress.

Time to work together folks and put country before party (both sides of aisle) ideology.

PS: It is also time that states fix their 3rd world-like voting procedures... If you TRULY care about the sanctity of the vote then now, not 6 months before an election, is the time to work on it. Are you listening Crist, Husted, Texas, PA, etc.?

You guys are so lost. What the right is doing is looking for what to cut out of there businesses to survive the next 4 years. Expansion from now on is going to mean having up to half of the costs in pocket and funding the whole thing without a loan.

What I am hearing is people looking at shrinking what they are currently doing. I know of a pending announcement of a layoff for a small regional sales company. For sales to do this, they are seeing an economy that is shrinking and are not expecting the economy to pick up soon.

I am aware of some businesses that have prepared to expand, but waited for the election to be over before deciding. That usually means that if the party elected is seen as reasonable, they will expand. They are now considering their options.

One thing folks, this ENTHUSIASM crap does not and will never win elections...its folks like you and me that win elections.

Congratulations B.O

I am proud but don't want to gloat, to much. What I am most proud of is that, the American People did't let all that money that the Koch brothers and there friends used to try to buy this election. The one guy from Tx put in like $56m alone. In spite of all those billions, Carl Rove couldn't buy this election for the Koch brothers and there rich friends. How will David ever get that money back? rich people are not used to loosing there money like this. The always have a way of making the working people pay for there looses. Koch's will most likely lay off a bunch of there workers in retaliation for Romney's not winning. They invested so much in Romney. But this election wasn't like Romney swooping in and taking over a company and steeling the peoples retirement from under them. Koch's just made a bad bet. And I am so proud of my fellow Americans for not falling for it. We can stand up to those people that care nothing about America and Americans. We are not there slaves, they do not own us. President Obama is trying to help us to start our own business. That's the real backbone of America, its us little guys with big Idles. Not some spoiled little rich brothers that had everything handed to them, never having to work a day in there life's. What entitles them to thing they know what is good for this country. What is good for Koch Industry's is not what is good for this great country. Just the other way. All Koch Inds. want is to make more money at any cost to clean water, air and land. Its greed like that, that has run this country into the ground. Less pick our self's up and dust our self's off and get back to work and rebuild this country. USA first. That needs to be our battle cry. Buy American and demand American made products. Shop at the Mom and pop places, Pay that little bit more to take care of your home town stores first. Buy from you local farmers. You will see that helping right away. We can and should do this. Less show big business we don't need them, But if they want to work with us then they need to do there part. Walmart has gotten rich off us Tax payers, by not hiring full time people and making the tax payers pay for there health care. Richest company in the world and wont pay for there workers health care. But the Management, now that's a different thing now. I have most likely wasted my time because they will not post this. Every time I say Koch brothers they will not post me. Now that I have said Walmart I am sure I will not get posted.

We Obama supporters owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to ...

THE TEA PARTY!!

Yup. That's what I said.

Without the TeaBaggers' dogmatic, extremist pulling of the GOP/Republicans to the Far Right, their decimating of the Moderate wing of the GOP, their alienating women, minorities and many undecidededs AND their making Moderate Mitt all but invisible it could have been a different story today.

So... THANK YOU TEABAGGERS!!!

Hope you're still around for Hillary in 2016!! ;-)

GoldBars, you have a choice. Work your dead end job till you die or pursue the American Dream, and better your position. That means dropping the joint, and striving for something other than getting a paycheck to blow at the club on the weekend. You can be rich, it just takes effort and hardwork. You do have a job and know what that is right?

wow, you are one arrogant, presumptuous person. Even though you know nothing about him/her, you act like you do. You know nothing about GoldBars. You know nothing about the 50% of Americans who voted for Obama. Just because people support Obama, it does not make them deadbeats who smoke pot. They are mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters. I know now why Mr. "47%Are Moochers" Romney is your guy.

Donald Trump has called for revolution in the wake of Obama's victory.

Sounds like treason. Perhaps the FBI or The Secret Service should bring him in for a 'talk'.

Actually, it occured to me that the last time the country was so polarised, there was a civil war.

Perhaps dismissing Trump as a blow hard would be a mistake. It might leave the door open for incitement to revolt from Fox and Clear Channel radio. (there's certainly enough revolting statements spewing from them already.)

Your fear mongering does not change the fact that Moody's predicts 12 million more jobs in the next 4 years, due to what the President has already done. If the House decides to work for the country instead of against it, the job gains can be higher.

One of the sad, pointy-headed, little Faux pundits actually said "oh well, only 1100 more days until the next primary..." last night.

Meanwhile, Florida just can't figure out a way to call the election yet. I wonder if they thought the race would be much closer and this is a planned stall? Just makes them look kind of backward and...well... stupid now.

Markets take one heck of a dive day after O is re-elected. Goes to show that he is definitely bad for the economy, and job prospects. Watch the unemployment show its true colors now without the big O's FUNNY MATH. It will probably be well over 10%. Hide your money before he steals you blind and gives it away.

Good afternoon everybody, I'm a bit late to the celebration because of a doctor's appointment, but I just wanted stop by and say congratulations to all of you. Good work. Nice job. Once again I am proud to be an American.

I believe we have dodged a fatal bullet. We have set America on a path that will lead us to a positive future and a better country as well as a better world for our children and future generations.

We said "no thank you" to the GOP and the Tea Party hardliners and stepped back from the abyss that would have resulted from a further drift to the right. We said 'no' to the GOP and their plan for America. We chose a country where everyone wins, not winner take all.

The GOP will have to change their ways. They have no choice now and this election should be the proof. They can no longer count on white males to win elections. The country is becoming more diverse and era of pale male dominance is over.

They are going to have to become more inclusive or cease to be relevant except as the lunatic fringe of American Politics. They will become the 21st Century's John Birch Society if they cannot adapt.

So, once again, my thanks to all of you. You have made history and insured a brighter tomorrow for America.

This is probably the last time I will write this but I do so proudly...

Obama/Biden 2012

I like me some free stuff! Thanks OBAMA lets keep that money rollin' in!

0bama is so deceptive. Romney wanted GM to do a restructuring bankruptcy, which they ended up having to do anyways after wasting tens of billions of tax dollars. The bailout money was a total failure, I'm glad 0bama wants to slap his name on that.

Just wait till the debate next week when Romney brings the facts of the bailout to light and makes 0bama look like the amateur that he is.

It just goes to show how wonderfully well the mainstream media's hatchet job on Romney has worked. But for most of us in the know, we know these polls are all juiced up for Obama.

Actually, Brian, the desperation that is becoming increasingly evident in your posts is pretty darned funny, too. Is President Obama's inevitable reelection starting to wear on you?

What do I have to be desperate about? This country will become very desperate if Obama wins... I give it a year, possibly 2 before the economy collapses. I've taken measures to protect my family when it falls under Obama's control. I've plenty of food stored, clothing, a crap load of silver, stockpiling salt (currency) and let's not forget the ammo... plenty of ammo.

I can agree with that but the resounding knell of Krauthammer stating "He was not Conservative enough" does not bode well for the GOP next election if they subscribe to that ideology.

What the GOP needs are candidates like Huntsman, like Regan. Moderates who will cast the radical Tea Party out of their party for good and return it to the sane-Conservatism it should be practicing.

It's ok, Mr. Romney. It's a sad day for all responsible Americans who want to see this country to continue to be great. I was at our gym at night and almost all of us in woman's locker room had voted for you today and we were all very upset with the election outcome. We are in CA, and of course our votes are like no votes here year after year. We're a liberal state, no matter how we vote. It's fate, the fate of this country. It's hard to fight this fate. More people in this country no longer aspire for greatness and excellence. They have become petty and only care about a little freebies they could grab from government here and there to feel satisfied. They no longer want a great America that plays an elite and leading role in the world. That's the root problem. I'm afraid it'll become worse down the road, in the next twenty, thirty years, when US will no longer be the country others look up to.

The notion that hard working Americans who believe in compassion for those less fortunate and trying to realize the American dream voted for Obama because they want "freebies" is pathetic. Sue, perhaps you are comfortable with the notion of vaginal probes or not having the right to decide if you want to carry a child after being raped. The economy is improving, health care reform in place, Bin Laden dead, the war in Iraq ended, an executive order in place to keep innocent kids from being deported, the end of "don't ask don't tell" ... your type just won't give the president any credit. BTW, I'm a software engineer from Ohio and make a six figure salary and I'm proud to pay my taxes.

Excellent post, and re-blogged (with credit given) on Google+.

What it means is: Being "GOP" just got a LOT harder.

And Sue, you sound about as defeated as I ever want an American to be sounding.

Didn't the Sarah Palin Experience prepare you for this?

sue - What is sad is that you are in the minority in California because of your views. Tonight is the night when you should realise that you are in the minority of the country, and no - the majority are NOT petty, do NOT care about 'freebies' and we DO INDEED aspire to greatness and excellence. Get out of your '47%er bubble-talk': if you are so bloody frightened what will come in the next twenty years in an America that you are already completely out of touch with, you can always move to Barbados.

Your mistake is thinking anyone was voting for "freebies" and "greatness" in the form of military might. We really don't need all those big strong mens with big guns to protect us.

The reason Myth lost is because: He is a Mormon. He is a lier. He didn't agree with the auto bailout. He was going to shut down FEMA. He never showed his tax returns. He made the 46% speech. The last debate on foreign policy he agreed with almost everything the President said. Any one or two of those things wouldn't be a problem, but as a whole they caused Myth quite a believability problem. And that is what finally put a very large hole in his electoral boat, in the end more and more people didn't believed him. Considering what is facing our country, down the line, we all need some one who would speak for all of us, and people didn't trust Myth to be that guy.

Really," you can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time". I think Myth forgot that.

sue-2409354It's ok, Mr. Romney. It's a sad day for all responsible Americans who want to see this country to continue to be great. I was at our gym at night and almost all of us in woman's locker room had voted for you today and we were all very upset with the election outcome.

You are also in the minority of women who voted for ROmney. Honestly, do you really want a bunch of old white guys telling you what you can do with your body?

Sue the only thing petty is that freebies republican lie you are repeating. I live in Ca and I tried to embrace the republican views in the beginning. When I started seeing all of the lies that the republicans were spreading along with favoring the rich and wanting redistribute income to the top 1%ers. I took another look at the democrats and although they are not perfect they ran a much more down to earth campaign. At least it was much more believable. since I am in the middle class they related to me much better than the republicans.

It's probably way to early to start contemplating the 2014 mid-terms but if past is prologue the Tea Party faction will, once again, "primary" moderate republicans (e.g. republican's that are willing to work with democrats) and they, once again, will be rejected by voters.

They're current record in the Senate is zero for five.

Sue the biggest problem for Republicans like you and Hopeisgone is in how you define success. Republicans are not the only ones who are successful!

I can only offer this advice to the baggers:

Next time, don't field an idiot.

Hey... the election was spirited... and my congratulations to him... Sometimes (for us on the losing side) it helps focus and to build a coalition.... Also (me being and Optimist)... Republicans can take heart in these things:

1. As to those who think Romney was the wrong guy... don't know anything about politics... He cam within 2% of the popular vote and Florida has not ever begun to count the absentee ballots. He did better than Bush did in 2000 vote wise.

http://enight.elections.myflorida.com/CountyReportingStatus/

2. For all the Dems bluster and victories (congrats to them)... They do dont have a filibuster proof majority in the senate and the House is UNCHANGED (put those tea leaves in your pipe and smoke it dems)

3. RE-President Obama did not get the mandate despite his victory... I assume a more moderate Obama now ... a Pivot to the middle. Clinton like. (a whole lot of Progressive are going to get mad)

4. The biggest looser is the military... but we are tough, we will survive (as always..) and If Obama does not "compromise".. He may damage the Dems so badly it'll be another 20 yrs before they dig themselves out.

And finally the one thing that we "righties" need to remember... God is still on the throne... Jesus is still Lord and (despite my blogg being banned right before the election and restored after the election for COH (MSNBC.... your Censorship has gone to far) Ill be here... and STILL Proud to be an American in this GREAT COUNTRY... GOD BLESS AMERICA.. (and Obama and his Fam to)

Internationally a Romney presidency was going to give us trouble. Other countries did not care for the statements he made , and the campaign ad that the " America was the hope of the world" rubbed people the wrong way. Way too arrogant.

1. As to those who think Romney was the wrong guy... don't know anything about politics... He cam within 2% of the popular vote and Florida has not ever begun to count the absentee ballots. He did better than Bush did in 2000 vote wise.

I don't know how you could think that Romney was anything but the wrong guy for this election. Yes he came close, but just about any sane Republican candidate would have done so given the relative stagnancy of the economy.

The true measure of elections is not how close you came to winning, but whether you actually do win. There is no prize for second place. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades--insert cliche here.

A good Republican candidate would have won. Hell, a decent Republican candidate would have won this election. The time was ripe for a one-term Obama presidency. But Romney just could not seal the deal because of the various reasons I stated before.

2. For all the Dems bluster and victories (congrats to them)... They do dont have a filibuster proof majority in the senate and the House is UNCHANGED (put those tea leaves in your pipe and smoke it dems)

3. RE-President Obama did not get the mandate despite his victory... I assume a more moderate Obama now ... a Pivot to the middle. Clinton like. (a whole lot of Progressive are going to get mad)

4. The biggest looser is the military... but we are tough, we will survive (as always..) and If Obama does not "compromise".. He may damage the Dems so badly it'll be another 20 yrs before they dig themselves out.

Compromise is a two-way street. Obama will have to be a bit more moderate, but then again, so will Congress. Otherwise we will have 2-4 more years of gridlock, and I dare say, the Republicans will be the ones to take the blame. Remember, Congress is at a 9% approval rating as an institution, with Republicans getting more of the blame than Democrats. If conservatives continue to misconstrue the message from this election and believe Romney lost because he wasn't conservative enough, they're going to continue to fall in the eyes of the public.

Perhaps now, the grown-ups in the Republican party can tell the Tea Party members "We tried it your way and we lost." Yes the Tea Party was helpful in Republicans winning the House. However, you have to think that many Senate Republicans are livid because they could be committee chairmen, if it were not for the idiotic nominations of Angle, O'Donnell, Akin and Mourdock. All of these candidates turned what might have been wins (and in the case of O'Donnell and Mourdock, easy wins) into losses.

Sue, give it a rest already. Your rhetoric is so 2012.

I don't think Sue and the other women at the gym are working poor or in the middle class. Especially the comment that people don't want an America playing an "elite and leading role in the world".

Romney lost because of that little worm Ryan !!!!!!!!!!!!!

How stupid of Ryan kissing up to Ayn Rand for 20 years not knowing her beliefs, this was beyond stupidity !!!!!!!!!!!!

... MICHEAL L .... GREAT POST(S) ... YOU NAILED IT ! Thank you ... this has been a blast .... just far too many "lying for the Lord" from Mitt ...

CONGRATULATIONS MR. PRESIDENT

Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden is dead... and Willard Mitt Romney is not President. WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!!

I guess their both Has-Bins now

When we syart looking forward to 2016, the landscape will change yet again under the GOP feet. In 2016, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and Virginia will no longer be considered "battleground states" because they will have shifted into the "solidly Democratic" column. Iowa, Florida and Ohio will remain battleground states but will become much more difficult for the GOP to stay competitive, especially Florida. The "new" battleground states will be Georgia, Texas and Arizona.

The democraphics are steadily shifting against the GOP. States with huge Latino populations that include Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Arizona will move largely to the Democrats. The women's vote is going to be hard for the GOP toi recapture and the African-American vote is lost to them forever along with the gay vote. The GOP is solowly becoming the party of old southern and western white men. This is not a demographic that can win national elections.

As the GOP moves further to the right, it will eventually fragment. The Libertarians will break off because they are more leftist than rightist and have never been a good fit for any establishment party. The "Eisenhower" (moderate) and "Romney" (George - liberals) will try to unite to form a new Republican Party that espouses the values of the 1950's and 1960's. And the Tea Party will be left with about 18% of the GOP --- enough to be a spoiler and give every election to the Democrats, but not enough to win anything on their own.

But even worse than the shifting demographics are the effects of two really, really poor candidates in a row. The "doubtful" McCain and the inept Romnmey have done far more damage than the Republicans yet realize. Damage that is not easily going to be undone. Damage in terms of confusing and obfuscating exactly what the GOP stands for (or doesn't stand for.)

GeorgeB: "The notion that hard working Americans who believe in compassion for those less fortunate and trying to realize the American dream voted for Obama because they want "freebies" is pathetic"

You are CORRECT, sir! The only ones who seem to want "freebies" are the Republican Rich who want to pay LESS % in taxes than we hard working Americans! And then they blame the poor!

Mitt Romney pays a lot less % in taxes than I do--and I make less than $50,000 a year! What they don't seem to understand is we are a consumer driven economy--and when we destroy the middle class and favor the rich our economy suffers!

Let's face it--the 1% have had 30 years to be the "job creators." If it hasn't happened yet--it never will!

Sue, your pathetic comments, echoes of the craziness that comes from idiots like Limbaugh, is why your party is suffering so. You are comfortable stereotyping the people in the Democratic party as lazy, living off the system, irresponsible folks.

In my circle of friends, ALL of us have college educations. My husband and I both have master's degrees, our children all have college degrees, and our friends all have one, two, or three degrees. We are all employed. We all give back to our communities with meaningful volunteer service. We all care about those less fortunate and strive to give a HAND UP to those who need it.

You voted for a man who cheated his country out of his fair share of taxes by banking overseas.

You voted for a man who was PROVEN to lie, and lie, and lie, and lie, and lie again and who kept changing his position on issues and then lied again about doing it.

Open your mind.

Open your heart.

Turn off right-wing radio and television.

Excellent post Michael, one could only add Mitt Romney would have $hit the Whitehouse Bed extensively causing undo expense to taxpayers..........

I wanted to say something to Sue so bad. But what can you say to someone that is so shallow. Some one that thinks that someone that Stole his Millions from the 47% of working people. If it were not for the working people working hard and thinking they earned a retirement, If not for them, Mitt wouldn't be so rich, because Mitt robbed these people. Mitt is like Jessie James. You are not a success because you are a thief. Not Reps think that makes Mitt something, but he is nothing but a thief, that thinks working people are fools for him to take advantage of. The Koch Brothers think that way too. When Reps start thinking that the people that work for them and make them there money, are who keeps them in their lifestyles are good people and not there slaves, Show them respect and act like they respect them as people. Then and only then can they say they are a success. And if you own a business and have people that don't do there job, then get read of them. But we need to stop the rich CEO that get these big bonuses while running a company into the ground. That is as wrong as it gets. To you not have any oblation to your share holders?

My only regret is that it wasn't Newt!

THAT would have been even more fun to watch crash and burn!!!

Michael L. Great analysis.

"Romney lost because of that little worm Ryan !!!!!!!!!!!!!"

That's only part of the problem. Romney lost for a variety of reasons -- he's 100% phony, he's one of the most dishonest candidates of all times, he had no ideas to improve the economy other than the failed policies of the past, he stands for nothing, he's for and against everything depending on who he's talking to at the time, he has no backbone, no spine and no core and he ran a lousy campaign.

Rumpus Cat. With what you say, then I guess we should take down the Statue of Liberty in New York. I think NOT!!!!!

"Can we all finally agree that Romney was just a bad candidate for the Republican party at this time? "

• Yes -- Romney was a terrible candidate. But which Republican candidate would have done better --- Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann, Newt, Santorum --- who??

I agree. None of the Republican field would have done better, and in fact, most would have been worse. The only one that the public might have tolerated if he had survived the primary would have been Huntsman--but there's no way the right would have allowed him to be nominated.

It's very telling that some potential heavy hitters such as Mike Huckabee, Chris Christie and Jeb Bush decided to sit this one out.

You have to know that winning election doesn't automatically mean he's good. Having more people together doesn't mean what you do is right. In this case, it simply means fewer people in this country are willing to be responsible and are decent principled people.

The fact that Romney only carried the deep south and the western Texas type of states tells us all we need to know. Appealing to low information, scared and in some cases racist white people is no longer a winning strategy.

excellent post RE! I could not have said it any better! now where are all the neocons who predicted a Romnney landslide where are you hate mongers??? hmm no whine that the electorial college is rigged?? guess what neocons we all learned a valuable lesson tonight: good government finally has triumphed over hate sanity has finally began to enter back into government.....enough said! It looks lioke OBAMA/BIDEN 2012 is no longer a bumper sticker it is history!

George...good point and it seems that most people want Obamacare, jobs program and taxing the rich now if only the idiots in Congress will get it.

Dang Tootin'.

Also: The KKK is out of fashion as well.

Apparently the "yard sign" as an indicator doesn't work.

Mitch McConnell finally got too achieved his wish, from now on President Obama is only a one term President!!!

@ RE-3430894

I want to also point out that several repub house members lost in my area (NW PA) along with state senate and rep's who are now democrats.

Overall - good election year. =)

sue, I'm sorry you're so bitter. You're a literate person and sound like you have a lot going for you. What I'd suggest is that you talk to more people who voted for the president and don't associate only with people who agree with you. That way you might learn that a lot of principled, self-supporting folks voted for Mr. Obama. Please get to know us better before you generalize about us. That attitude serves only to expand the divide in the country, which will ultimately be its downfall.

Fox with Friends is going to be SSSSSOOOOOO GGGGOOOOOOOOOODDDD in the morning. Can't wait to hear the excuses and lies of how the President won the election......

Mitch McConnell's new goal: Make Obama a two term President.

You know, sue, your belief that just because people don't agree with your politics and who knows what else they must not be decent or responsible is a big part of why Mr. Romney lost. Just because you disagree with someone's politics doesn't make them not a good person or irresponsible. It is unfortunate that you haven't learned to see that all Democrats, all Republicans, or most other groups aren't just cookie cutter people. I am surrounded in my deeply red state by people who vote Republican, but I don't assume they are all white trash or rich out of touch people and write them off as something. They are people and some are rich and out of touch, some are poor and don't get that our leadership isn't working for them, some were brought up by Republican parents, and some have come to think the way they do for various reasons. Some are obnoxious and some are wonderful people.

I hope at some point you can look beyond your political leanings and see people for what they are instead of painted with a broad brush.

Sue ... u lost ... take it like a big girl ... sorry .. can't help but gloat, just sooo very happy today for some reason !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD MORNING PRESIDENT OBAMA !!!!!!

Noticed on Fox News.com, under bias alert, they have already started blaming the media for their loss.

The election is done and it is time the government gets back to work for the American people. Just get all of the whining and gloating over with and get focused back onto the issues.

To the House Republicans, grow up and get to work. It is obvious that your elitist obstructionism is disliked by the American people, so stop it already. We the people are your boss, so get to work!

Sue. Do you think being a Rep makes you a principled person? I bet you think your a Conservative Christian too don't you? Being Principled means standing up for something, If you don't stand for something, You'll fall for anything. "Arron Tippet" that is what is wrong for the Rep and it is why Mitten lost last night. He stands for nothing, but him self. Mitt has always been a me me type of guy. You can't be like that and think your entitled to be President. Another reason he lost is he thought he was Entitled to be President. Sue you and your people that think you are so much better than everyone else are not the chosen ones. In most cases your just lucky, You haven't had an Auto Accident that left you disabled, and An Insurance that didn't honor the Policy that you have been paying for years. That's the reality for working people. Working don't have the money to fight big business. Having a husband that has don't well don't make you a better person. What makes you a better person is what you do for others. Jesus should have shown you that if you were not sleeping in Church. Being well off does not make someone better than anyone. We start with nothing in life and we leave with nothing, you can't take it with you. In God's eyes we are all the same.

More like one party just got itself ignored for the next four years.

I disagree, I do not think straight party represents all of us. Compromise is the only solution. We MUST learn to compromise!

There was ample opportunity for that, don't you think?

The Republicans fully deserve whatever fate becomes them: they've made choices.

The reason Romney lost is a easy picture to look at, he could not convince the unemployed who want to work but cannot find work and are forced to accept food stamps and less than favorable low paying jobs that he cared about them. I know because I see it all around me. People have pride and while to much is bad they did not want to be on government assistance, then for Romney to knock them down even futher by his probally misunderstood remarks sealed the deal. I look for Obama to continue his agenda of the destruction of America. I do not believe anyone except God can stop it, and I do not believe that he will.

I hit agree by accident on your post, Jerry. You made good points until you have to add the last couple of sentences. Strange to see the Romney issues and then say Mr. Obama is after some agenda of destruction. That negates the reasonable tone of the rest of your post.

How do you run the only, well almost only, person in the country who could not beat Obummer?

Jerry you make no sense at all. You were spot on to start with then you went crazy. Romney lost because he stands for nothing. He never has stood for anything.

The final election results exactly match the polls, with the exception of anything Fox News endorsed, especially that bogus Rasmussen Poll. Perhaps the GOP should consider not using the Rasmussen Poll in the future. They were skewed beyond the percent of error in the majority of their polls. In scientific terms and the notion that facts are essential, the Rasmussen Poll is BOGUS statistics.

Jerry, with all due respect to your comments, I do believe you are not living in the same US that the rest of us are? If you can't see that the economy is improving slowly, jobs are being created each month and people are starting to feel better about themselves and the state of the country, then what are you seeing? Just like today, I say a lot of those in Big business were running scared(stock market losses) because they know they need to hurry up and get all they can before the regulations that are designed to make them play by the rules go into effect. They underestimated the "99%" of us that didn't buy into them spending an obscene about of money to SuperPacs in an attempt to buy sway the election with negative and misleading ads just so they can continue the same practices that got the country in the mess we were in the first place.

The only "destruction" this country will experience is the destruction of "obstruction" in congress. You see Boehner, McConnell, Cantor and the rest of the republicans that agreed to "deny" Obama any success his first term are going to have to change their tune in order to keep their jobs when they come up again in 2014. Then you will really see this country start to grow and prosper again and of course they will CLAIM they were the ones responsible which is why they should stay in office. It's a pattern, we saw it in '08, we saw it in 10' and we saw it this time.

Seriously though, I would really like to know what kind of "destruction" you believe Obama is going to do to America other than continue to be the country's first Minority President.

happy birthday nm my son had a birthday tonight and he feels the same way for me it was a great early xmas gift!

All of my hard earned donations to Obama and DNC paid-off. My only sad point is that my donations to Jim Graves (D) Minnesota didn't pay-off, that witch Michelle Bachman won by a narrow margin, most likely all due to the Gerrymandering of district lines no doubt. She's a total moron and represents everything wrong with the GOP who must ostracise these morons or chance losing the house in 2014

Some will get it and evolve, others won't.

There is someone who 'nailed it' as well: Axelrod and the other geniuses who weren't worried for a microsecond about the boasts and claims of the opposing camp. This wasn't a well-put-together campaign: this was a carefully engineered and crafted re-election machine. DAMN impressive!

Exceptionally so. Mitt's efforts to defeat himself cannot be overlooked, however.

The fox news people are idiots and will never learn... they are permantly mentally challenged my only hope their ratings tank after all this that is the only thing that matters to those media whores I love to hear what Rush the lush is saying considering he predicted a Romney landslide

George B. You have to understand that by now Myth is getting daily military and intelligent briefings. So maybe there was no story there. If there was a story I'm sure he would beaten it like dead horse!!

More like he got (now past-tense FOREVER) "briefings"...

I'd bet he got a redacted mess and had to shut up in order to get that.

Good night Mad... thanks for helping the president win CT!

I so look forward to hearing Obama whine about how the past four years was his predecessor's fault . Oh wait, that would be who? OH NO, IT WAS OBAMA! Can't blame anything on George W. any longer Mr. Crybaby. This is going to be so much fun listening to the lame excuses he comes up with now.

I would hope that the baggers would start listening to the electorate. People like amerigal don't make me very optimistic.

We'll do it without you, then. Sit down and shaddup.

amerigal.... Still talking crap? Obama 303; Romney 206....LOVE IT!!!

Florida called for the President, we got rid of Alan West, West Palms resident loon, voting was an absolute misery, Florida residents will remember when Rick Scott term is up for renewal. Regardless of what the Republican controlled states threw at the electorate, we over-came and prevailed. Voter suppression a very real goal in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania of the Republican Power holders, the people adapted and spoke, "you people" are DONE.

Sisters, your health care decisions are yours to make, no one can now tell you what should or should not go on in your bedroom, your uterus, or interfere between you and your physician. You are in-charge of your own person. Our daughters, nieces, granddaughters, aunts, mothers can breath easy. Women's health is an economic and family issue, if we are not healthy then we cannot care for our families or be productive members of the work force.

Thank You Mr. President.

Obama 2012

Polls show that unlike the Teabaggers, the American people remember who was in charge when it all went down, George Bush a Republican!

Amerigal, I would recommend that you take an entry-level economics course so you could better understand how certain kinds of events could have years-long implications.

The President has done a super job so far pulling us out of the mess George W. made. Even the Republican party knows GW got us into this mess, which is why they distanced themselves from him throughout this entire campaign. Why didn't they ask for his endorsement? Why didn't they invite him to their convention?

It will take more time to continue trying to put this country back to where it was before GW, but President Obama is the one to do it... IF the GOP will cooperate. It was Republicans who vowed to take the president down and stand in the way of his efforts to make him look bad. They should be ashamed of themselves for putting politics ahead of serving the American people WHO HAVE SPOKEN!

Looks like Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers laid a lot of trolls off today.

Gee, Jay, tell us what you really feel. You do not need to lie anymore, it will not help now. That playbook failed.

@ jay

Stupid enough to believe the mistruths of a person who did nothing his first 4 years except give to the non working, legalize ILLEGAL immigration

Illegal immigrants will always be a problem in America for America is the land of opportunity. If you can grasp the full impact of what your President is doing on a broader sense, then you wouldn't be sprouting nonsense like this. By legalizing these immigrants, they will be paying taxes properly and contribute to the American society. Since these illegal immigrants are already in your country and will be almost impossible to send them all back home to their respective countries, why not just have them become Americans and be productive for the entire USA.

Thank you fellow Americans for voting to destroy our free society and bringing us closer to socilaism.. for the enormous debt that not even Joe Biden can fathom, you have screwed yourselves and your fellow citizens in voting in this irresponsible jerk for a second term.. Hillary should have been a write in but Obama is a nothing but a proven failure..

Paul - thanks for nothing, because that is what you are offering.

Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers - THANK YOU for the stimulus money.

Oh Come On......

jay-why is it you beat the drums against the poor receiving aid from the government ---most recipients are in dire need of assistance. you fail to call out the rich for bank fraud / unfair tax advantages / insider trading and on and on. the mega rich would be better served using their billions to invest in the poor than investing 3 billion in romney who would not. if elected. represent the interests of 47% of the american public .mitt can now sail off into the sunset wearing his admiral hat and docksiders to check on his offshore investments. american voter were not fooled!

Exactly, I so wholeheartedly agree. And when they realize that they will eventually have to deal with shiria law and the open borders, what then. I am so totally shocked by the devastation brought on in the last 4 years, I am scared silly what my grandchildren are going to be facing when they become adults.

I hope to see the end of the electoral college and popular vote for presidents to come. It's time the electoral college went down the drain. Too bad it didn't happen earlier, and too bad that a scumbag was once again re-elected. Kind of reminds me of Clinton's second unearned term.

And I might add that what little I get in take home pay now, will eventually be gone due to increased taxes and affordable health care and I will be putting in 8 hrs plus a day for nothing. I have a mortgage that will probably go in the dumpster when there's not enough bring home to pay it.

@Jay,

You get a vote up, my friend. You are 100% spot on. Could not agree more.

you mad?

Ahaha Patricia, that is some funny stuff.

Excellent troll post! I almost thought you were serious.

SHARIA LAW GUYS!

Keep it coming. This is the best entertainment around.

Amen!

The problem is that with politicians, compromise and cooperation oftens equates to capitulatiuon. It will never happen. Prepare for at least 2 more yeays of gridlock.

Obviously Sue and her friends at the gym think they are better than other people.

I'll take Mitt Romney's God over Obama's "allah" anyday.

Well amerigal, there is a path to achieve your end. I'm confident you'll be accepted for Mormon baptism (alive or dead). ;)

@americal,

Did you know that Mott Romney's god lives on the planet Kobol? He used to be a man but them he became a Mormon and was made into a god. Every Mormon man gets to be a god. Unfortunately women are not eligible, including amerigals, due to the fine print. Maybe you should be thinking in terms of moving to Kobol.

@amerigal go join him on Kobol and the merry land of Oz

Next stop, KOBOL!

Who's with me??

Not if real Americans can help it. We are going to get to work immediately to have Obama IMPEACHED for the despicable desertion he and his entire administration pulled on those begging for help in Benghazi. One has to be human garbage to allow such a thing to happen when you are supposed to be Commander-in-Chief. And to add insult to injury, he went out there and LIED to all American's for almost 2 weeks after, stating it was caused by some video. We have scraped the bottom of the barrel with this bullsh-tter!

Good luck, amerigal ... considering that the intelligence that has come out doesn't support a single thing that the Fox watchers and Rush listeners have said it would. Obama has not committed an impeachable offense.

And what about Romney's lies - for over two YEARS?

I am so happy that I won't have to see that condescending, simpy smile that Mitt has been practicing in the mirror for the last 7 years.

Ann promised that this would be it, and Mitt needs to go away for good.

So amerigal, does that mean you will focus on more divisiveness and still work to try to destroy President Obama? Wouldn't your energy and resources be better used to build instead of destroy? Do you not see yet...despite the fact that US voters voted against destruction and "no" to everything that would help us heal...that all the nonsense about impeachments and "we will get him out" isn't where the majority of citizens want to go? You really can't see that we can move forward, work together, and heal? You are still focused on "getting" him for something?

This is why Mr. Obama won. It is time to work together and move forward instead of all the hate and desperation to get him out. He is here, so you can choose to be part of the problem or the solution, to spread negatively, waste more money on agendas that don't help anyone get jobs, health care, or anything else positive, or you can sit and grumble and focus on things that hold recovery back. I hope you will focus on something positive and look forward.

Therein lies the problem. Neither side is going to compromise with the other. It would be seen as an act surrender. Get used to the way things are now, increasing inflation, rising unemployment and those on government subsidies. The Bush haters out there will remember those as the golden times compared to what we're in for shortly. Remeber the old adage, be careful what you wish for. I am neither a Romney or Obama supporter (or any other politician for that matter) but it makes me laugh to see the rabid Obama supporters justify and defend a system that has clearly enslaved them and they don't even realize it.......yet. Welcome to the Obamatrix.

RE

You can't tax it if it isn't spent.

You can't have income if people cut spending.

You cannot continue to spend money you don't have and will not have.

Wife's boss is contemplating bankruptcy. Has been suffering for years from increasing numbers of clients not paying their bill. What more taxes will mean is more people not paying. Had to leave another employee go last week, one quit last month. Needs to renew a business loan on property that is now underwater. Is contemplating letting 2 more people go and working out of either a very small rental space or his home. NONE of the jobs he has are minimum wage, THEY ARE MIDDLE CLASS jobs.

Me, I'm a design professional (MIDDLE CLASS), and lost my last full-time work 3 years ago. The company I worked for has laid off a fourth time. I have (had might be better term) an ESOP which is actually a retirement profit-sharing. That company now appears to be teatering on failing as minor partners are now leaving. NONE of those jobs are minimum wage, they too, are all middle class jobs.

My Wife's company is no different than the companies he services, nor any that I would like to serve in all of Northeast Ohio or western PA. The only ones that will spend from now on are those that can build with either no loan or by borrowing the far less than half of what they need.

Oh, I have no choice in my time of life to purue working on may own. But, I am now doing so, despite being in a current environment where 75% of existing businesses would not have opened if they had been face with the same conditions when they started.

He who laughs last, laughs best, if there is anything left!

Maybe your wife's boss needs to take a business 101 class and stop providing to those who don't pay their bills. Funny, it seems to be you conservatives who can't keep your business afloat or keep a job. tell us again who the "hand-outers" are? You seem to think that someone else should be picking up your slack.

@RE:

Please for the love of God tell me how things are getting better? Are there not millions of people unemployed with the unemployment rate rising? Are not more people collecting some sort of government subsidy? In my area of the country, I hear everyday how companies are still laying off large numbers of peope. Food, utilities, gasoline, all going up. Please tell me either how this is getting better or lacking that, what is the color of the sky on your planet? The real Kodak ( or wait, they layed off people too) moment, is when you deluded Obama supporters realize how badly you've been duped. It may take a year or two, but I promise there is going to be a "come to Jesus" moment when you Obamanites will scream, "what the hell have we done"? I suspect that moment will be when the Obamacare debaucle takes full form and you look at your pay stub (if you're lucky to be working) and wonder where the hell all your money went....remember, you asked for it.

Come'on Chucky, what are you, a Minister? Can't you formulate a better argument without invoking Jesus? Writing 101--a beginning, middle, and end--try to stick with writing basics and stop meandering all over the place...geeeeessss, my son learned this formula in the 3rd grade!

I'm not whining Re-3430894, I am going to get to work immediately to have this bullsh-tter IMPEACHED for dereliction of duty as a Commander in Chief who allowed our Ambassador and Navy Seals to be slaughtered by rabid animals while he "stood down" and didn't life a finger to help. I am definitely not whining, I am going to shout it from the roof tops that Obama needs to be IMPEACHED. Americans have scraped the bottom of the barrel by re-electing this piece of human garbage.

Go ahead, amerigal. Obama has not committed an impeachable offense. The intelligence that has come out so far about what happened in Benghazi doesn't support your view of events. But you're not going to learn that listening to Rush, Fox and other extreme right-wing commentators.

Uhoh, amerigal is on it. Watch out Obama!!!!

She is getting to work immediately!!!!! Oh, no!!!!

(Amazing that people so uninformed walk around unsupervised among us.)

Republicans call the media the "LIBERAL" media because they don't want any media fact-checking their lies!

Impeach - Balh Blah - what about Geo Bush and the lies about WMDS that got us in a forever war? Oh, that was ok?

Amerigirl needs to take her meds or move to CO or WA for some herb.

amerigabbymouth...why in the world are you still talking? Accept the absolute THRASHING President Obama gave your inept candidate and move on. Stop displaying your unsettled state of mind for all the world to see--it's not attractive and we don't care to read it. Seek help quickly.

You know something, I thought all the arseholes would go away but here you are back spewing your stupidity. Look honey you better start smellin' what you been dealin out.

amerigal... take your meds

poor little amerigal, she's all alone. LMAO

Obama won simply because the Media refuses to report the truth! Stock markets plummeted this morning because no one has any faith in this President! Republicans still have control of the House, so it looks like 4 more years of stagnation! At least I have a job, that's more than I can say for the majority that voted for this A$$Clown!

@C.Cook . . . they plummeted because those rich conniving arseholes who got us into this economic mess will have to face up to reality that you can't rip Americans off any longer with unbridled greed. They will be scrutinized if they screw around. Republicans create stagnation and deserve indignation. Their time is at hand and they will be panned in 2014 when Americans see they are obstructionists and a danger to the nation. So go join the 1600 preachers of the Republican gospel of selfishness and greed and obsession with everyone else's sex life.

Obama won because Romney pandered to the right wing, religous nut tea baggers instead of running as himself. Unil the GOP grows some and tell the right wingers where to get off they will continue to lose.

He also won because of the constant barrage of slander about Romney...it was disgraceful. Axelrod is disgusting. Obama is the height of arrogance. If he was a humble man, he would not have sought a second term.

She is exactly correct.

Yeah, I'm going to have to side with amerigal on this one. You can call her nuts, or crazy or impaired but in the end, you'll all be calling her right.

@Amergal

Either you are being paid to be this stupid - or - you're really this stupid.
