Obama's victory is a harsh
lesson for Republicans

Los Angeles Times, by David Horsey

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 11/7/2012 4:48:47 PM

The people have spoken. President Obama has won a chance to move beyond the stunted progress of his first term and, perhaps, become a historic president. On the losing side, the Republican Party remains shut out of the White House and has blown a chance to take over the U.S. Senate, largely because it catered to the narrow concerns of tea party zealots and social conservatives who imagined themselves as the only authentic Americans but who are, in fact, way out of step with most of the people in this country. If Republicans fail to learn the lesson of

"Stunted progress"?!?! What does the West Coast Slimes think ObamaCare, Dodd Frank, Lilly Ledbetter, the Afghan surge and the countless executive orders were? More knee pad time from David Horse's As.

Yeah, I'd say.

When we voted yesterday the line was out the door, around the block. Thinking record turnout.

So today, well, low turnout for both candidates, nobody interested.

Total BS. The obama Regime rigged the voting booths in many states, him (The Won) and down ticket as well. Why work for it if you can steal it.

I'm 60, no kids. that's my good news. You folks with kids and grandkids ... sorry to hear of your problem.

Read the article.

Obama pushes America to the end of a cliff...and the reporter criticizes the Republicans and tells them what to do to save America.

Got it.

Better idea... have the Democrats tell us what they would do... first.

And get this nonsense.. on KMOX radio's website, it reported that Obama wants to meet with Romney to work with him on improving the economy.

Romney should decline and repeat back to Obama all of the charges about the failed policies of the past that he accused Romney of.

Obama is once again looking for someone else to blame. Now he wants to blame the guy who lost. Duh.

We need to learn to love the "new USA?" And by that he means love any and all perversity, and any and all outrages against God's holiness, and any and all thuggery masquerading as fairness. Just shut up and learn to love it. I guess if I stop going to church, and stop reading the bible, and give up all my common sense and hard-earned wisdom I can make a start at loving the NEW USA! Woo hoo! Can't wait to start.

And to the victor go the spoils. Enjoy your day in the sun, Mr. Horsey. We're not done yet. You can attribute President Obama's victory to those racist tea partiers, but we're not the ones who oppress minorities by encouraging an entitlement mentality, that would be your party. We don't really care what homosexuals, transgenders and various other sexually fixated individuals do with their bodies. Again, that is your party. And we really do welcome immigrants to this country with open arms as long as they come here legally with a desire to better themselves and become productive citizens. Your party is the one that uses them as political chattel to further your warped agenda. Those of us who love our country won't ever give up. So, enjoy it while you can. We're not done yet.

The political party of spoiled children will gladly lecture the party of adults. But we must not take that advice. There is a culture war. The intelligentsia, the media elite, the Hollywood elite will tell the public that every responsible, pro-growth proposal is hateful, racist, greedy, stupid, etc., etc.

The necessary, but very difficult task of the party of adults is to go over the heads of our "opinion leaders," our "objective reporters," and get actual truth to the people.

Election fraud by our opinion leaders gave the gullible masses a totally false view of Obama's role in the recent storm, in Benghazi, in the "rescue" of GM, and in every other disaster that Obama either brought about or did nothing to relieve.

The people want to believe in a socialist utopis. They seem ready to accept Marxism, or someting not much different, totally oblivious to the lessons of history and true scholarship.

We will need to educate the masses. Or perish.

I will remain "out of step" with money hungry, moral deficient Republicans. I am tired of them blaming Conservatives for all their woes in the political arena. Romney was not even close to being Conservative and yet he also lost, did he not? You lost, and so did I, but at least I lost with my traditional values and morals in tact.

Liberals always have such interesting advice for conservatives.

The GOP “gerrymandered” its way to holding the House? Has this moron ever looked at a districting map? While there obviously are districts designed to benefit the GOP, there are legions more that are quite the opposite.

Bottom line, the “Tea Party” candidates for the House did just fine.

Strangely, the left is prissily pleased about this “new America” presented here. The unfortunate reality is that this “new America” is a simple downgrade to match the rest of the Euro-socialist world. There is nothing “new” about it, it was a model of failure many decades ago.

What was new was the American experiment, may it rest in peace.

This article misses the boat. Another release says that Romney got fewer votes than John McCain. Here is the simple truth: We have a two party system. If you don't vote for the nominee of your party, the other party will win. It's that simple.

Any conservative who sat on his hands yesterday and didn't vote, or who voted for some lunatic third party candidate as a matter of principle is too stoopid to live, mnuch less to vote. You knows who you is.

Perhaps I am in denial, but the more I think about the election, the happier I am that Obama won and that Romney lost.

Here's why. Like many people, I believe that Barack Obama and people like him do not know what they are doing. They do not understand how the world works. Their theories and grand schemes for human betterment and social progress are based upon untenable illusions about human beings, hence cannot possibly succeed but are bound to produce unsatisfactory results. The record of history as well as everyday experience makes this obvious to me.

It is obvious to me and to many others. It is by no means obvious to people like Barack Obama and their followers. We know from experience that it is useless to argue with such people. They are certain that they are right and that their plans will work if given a chance.

The only chance of changing anyone's mind consists of trying out some of the plans and noting the results. Even bad results will of course be rationalized away by hard core ideologues and true believers - but I think that the ordinary American dopes who have supported Obama may well begin to reconsider when they see and experience for themselves the bitter fruits of the fantasy ideology of Leftism. Such at least is my hope. It is the long way round the mountain and is likely to cause significant damage and suffering - but it appears to be the only hope for some people to re-learn lessons that have been learned and forgotten many times before now.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years".

From White House Insider and some person called Lane Cherry - if there was massive cheating, it was done with the complicity of the Republicans. They knifed Romney and all of us in the back so that they can run Jeb Bush in 2016. I'll not vote for another bush, thank you. Not the way they are doing it.

This is a fairly accurate view of the current political reality. California provides 20% of the votes needed to win the electoral college, that is a very large base. Republicans would do well to adapt to the facts that exist instead of insisting that some alternate universe is reality.

It is a harsh lesson because the Republicans could have won it - I agree.
However, it's worth noting the Democrats may be crowing a bit too much. They are dependent upon massively lopsided vote totals from a handful of demographic groups. Also, issues such as the auto bailout and Iraq have been spent.

On Melissa Harris-Perry Saturday morning, David Cay Johnston, an investigative reporter and professor at Syracuse University College of Law, lambasted the Obama Administration as hermetically sealed toward journalists, even in comparison to the Bush and Reagan administrations. Following a discussion on the President’s drone speech, in which the panel agreed that while drones are here to stay, the true problem is the lack of visibility and accountability into their use, Johnston expanded the point to a larger condemnation of the White House’s lack of transparency.

The emergency operating room where doctors tried to save President Kennedy´s life after he was shot has been broken into pieces and covertly stored in crates for years, guarded as if it were a state secret. As the 50th anniversary in November of the President´s assassination nears, an investigative team from local Dallas station WFAA went digging for the exact location of the broken tiles and medical equipment used on that fateful day. They found that the room was formally destroyed in 1972 when Parkland Hospital was going through an expansion and Trauma Room 1 had to be demolished.

A man who was searching for pythons discovered a piece of actual treasure instead. Mark Rubenstein was taking part in the Florida state-wide python killing competition when he discovered a gold pendant adorned with diamonds and sapphires. Mr Rubenstein found the piece of jewellery in the Everglades in February, and because of the location of the discovery, he believes that it landed in the swamp in the wreckage of a fatal plane crash. Though the Florida coast has been the site of many shipwrecks in the past, this find is not thought to be a remnant of the Spanish era

CRAWFORD —Former President George W. Bush needed little help to blaze a trail Friday for 14 veterans mountain biking with him through open prairies, slick ravines and steep canyons. That’s because he brought the third annual Warrior 100K Ride — a three-day mountain biking trek to honor service members injured in Afghanistan and Iraq — to the well-worn paths at his Prairie Chapel Ranch outside of Waco. But even as Bush welcomed the wounded warriors to his home to thank them for their service, he made clear that his mission to help veterans extends well beyond the trails

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On Wednesday, Drummer Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, a man who had served Queen and country honorably in the hell of Helmand Province in Afghanistan, emerged from his barracks on Wellington Street, named after the Duke thereof, in southeast London. Minutes later, he was hacked to death in broad daylight and in full view of onlookers by two men with machetes who crowed "Allahu Akbar!" as they dumped his carcass in the middle of the street like so much roadkill. As grotesque as this act of savagery was, the aftermath was even more unsettling

Washington rumor has it that Obama wants to be U.N. Secretary General. There are several reasons that make that likely, and if it´s true, it throws new light on a lot of Obama´s oddities -- including his Royalty Bows, his Apology Tours, his Muslim Sellout, and the Benghazi Cover-Up. But first -- why would Obama be planning to become the chief of the U.N. before he has even finished his second term?

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent a memo to his subordinates at the leading cable news network. He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience
