Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Everybody saw this coming.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

He really is that stupid.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

The words do not have to be perfect.

When we show up, we win.

    Now that Obama’s won, hopefully, he’ll be more humble and reach across the aisle because Americans want bipartisanship. That’s why they elected a Republican House, Democrat Senate, and Democrat President.

    I guess I’m lucky that no one in my family is that passionate about politics, and I think they all pretty much vote Dem anyway (plus its a very small family).

I don’t get something like abondoning longtime freindships, but I’m a pragmatist at heart, and I think I can separate polticis and friendship.

    Too late for people on the East Coast. I believe Fox and CNN have already set the narrative that Obama’s lost the popular vote and/or doesn’t have a mandate because his margin of victory is less than in 2008, in either the EC and/or popular vote.

    My mom’s a North Carolina voter, so how many times should her vote count because North Carolina carries more weight?

    After being disillusioned with Obama early on (i.e. this June) because of the economy, she has come to loathe Romney the more she saw of him.

    Did anyone mention that Bachmann is too close to call? Unreal!

    I figure John is too happy to be mad at me so I have had REO Speedwagon’s “Keep Pushing” in my head for the last few hours.

    Well, of course unmarried people voted for Obama. The GOP hates marriage. They spent millions of dollars in several states trying to legally prevent people from getting married.

    @me: Thanks for the insight – still think the ZEGS is so shallow and transparent that his political future should be nothing but a cul de’ sac, but Merkins always have a way of disappointing me. As for my dipshit rep Duffy – two more years you ungrateful twit – count your stars asshole.

    Can we assume Joe the Plumber has gotten flushed like the fecal matter he is?

    Note to one Harry Reid: get rid of the fucking fillibuster now, please. Push all the ridiculous end of times obstructionist crazy to the House Republicans, and put them in the spotlight.

    ETA: Baldwin over Thompson!!! Did the Dems actually GAIN in the Senate tonight?

    Mitt’s concession speech – did he look like he’d been crying? Nothing wrong with it, just kinda odd

    Bachmann still so close. Jesus, please let her lose.

    Though I wonder if having her crazy ass around isn’t beneficial.

    Sorry for the multiple posts. Internet is wonky.
    Is Mitt’s concession speech a little creepy, or is that just the exhaustion and alcohol kicking in?

    @lesterbut: Yeah, I’m getting kind of a “the cyanide capsules are waiting” vibe from it, but again, I’ve been awake for about 20 hours at this point.

    As much of an annoyance as Tweety can be, he just made a great point about the fact that virtually NO ONE even mentioned Romney’s Mormonism throughout this entire race. Maybe during the Republican primaries, but not in the general. We should be proud of that.

    @Enhanced Voting techniques:

    I have to say I have never felt the need to savor their pain like this election. The Right has just been so petty and vile the last four years they deserve every second of heartburn they get.

    I know exactly what you mean.

    @SuperHrefna:
    I’ve unfriended a guy before because he posted to many messages that annoyed me (yes politically charged postings). I didn’t dislike the guy. I just didn’t want to be spammed by his dorky political opinions.

    Facebook just didn’t give me a better choice.

    From a grateful foreigner. Thank you for choosing the least worst option. May this win pee in the face of the corporate interests seeking to own you and may it be at least a sign that the corporate lamprey is loosening it’s grip on our collective face. Americans! A majority of the planet celebrates or breathes a sigh of relief with you tonight.

    Aw, sorry to hear that, Cole. Hopefully, he’ll come around in time.

    That said, WE FUCKING DID IT!

    And, and, and, MN defeated both amendments. MN DFL took back the house and the senate, giving us all three branches. Michele Bachmann is in a dead heat. I’m feeling lotsa love for my state tonight.
