| All though the months leading up to the election, conservative pundits carped over the fact that polls supposedly oversampled Democrats. This argument accounted for President Obama’s small but persistent advantage in the polls. “Unskew” the polls to make them less weighted towards the Democrats, the conservatives said, and Obama’s edge vanishes. Turnout cannot be as pro-Democrat in 2012 as it was in 2008, they argued. Well, now we know that they were wrong. The polls have run almost exactly along with the election results. It turns out they were sampling so many more Democrats …

Yeah, I'm done. If there was a better country to move to, I'd go there. Sadly there isn't. Apparently my countrymen want to live in a socialized state and not a republic anymore. So yeah, I'm done.

So I guess the GOP has not moved Left far enough to win? Good grief, if the Republicans move any more to the Left they will be Democrats, not simply RINO's.

Like that old Brit said 200 or so years ago, once the electorate finds out that it can vote itself funds from the public treasury, it's over. It's over.
Except for the shooting. That will come soon.

Fine. That's cool. Today my husband, normally 'the calm one' informed me he wouldn't be working as much, b/c what's the point? We're probably going to sell our whole 401k portfolio in the next couple of weeks. We'll pay a big penalty, but we both know that money will be taken from us by the 47% in the taker class b4 we get it. Might as well fix up our modest home & buy a car we need. We've saved and lived within our means. We stayed married, are raising our kids, and this immoral country has left us behind. Our Catholic church in NC is kicking off a huge drive for the victims of Sandy. Won't be donating to that, let those two Democrat voting states depend on the government they deserve. Let Chris Christie and Bruce Springsteen dry their tears.

The Greatest Generation is all but gone and the lessons they left to their children have been lost to the forces of evil and weakness.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." Ronald Reagan 40th president of US (1911 - 2004)
We are there folks. It's happening now and we tried to stop it, but have failed. Our country is now at the point where things will have to get really bad (and they will) before they can get better.

Rush's harangue of Sandra Fluke was a disaster for Mitt and GOP because it allowed, as planned, Obama to be the protector of women's right to choose. While Fluke may not be able to draw crowds, her symbolic value for Obama was far better than the vagina costumes his feminist supporters donned. Same message from Fluke & vaginas, but one was more presentable on stage at the DNC.

Apropos of #1's comment on where to go: NOWHERE is safe any longer. The only reason that some countries were able to shake off the shackles of dictatorship was because of big Uncle Sam.
Yesterday, the Country voted to let the world BURN.
Electing Leftists ALWAYS results in ever growing numbers of dead black, brown, yellow and white people.

The electorate can shift back, but people need to be convinced. The Republicans--or a third party--need to stick to their principles, which are backed by facts and logic. The Democrats are all about outcomes and emotion. The Republicans also need to continue to be the party of moral values. Values voters--ie, evangelicals and other conservative Christians--were ignored this time around. That was a mistake.

Facts and logic have got the way of the buggy whip in this country #11. The last couple of generations have been indoctrinated by the public schools and liberal christian 'churches' that logic and fact is subjective, its more important to have good self esteem and to 'feel good'.
We are following an all to familiar pattern of a once great nation now in decline. We have failed to heed the lessons of history and we are repeating them.

Election campaigns provide an opportunity for a political party to make its case and educate the electorate. It's not that the majority of voters are corrupt; it's that they are ignorant of what's going on. That is the GOP's fault, LSM notwithstanding. Just where did all that PAC money go?

The nation is past the tipping point anticipated for years. When voters realize that they can vote themslves the public purse (they do) when those so inclined exceed half of the electorate (they do), and when an administration is in power that promotes such distribution (just renewed for at least four years), the nation's freedom is at an end. No tweaking of the political message can defeat human selfishness.

As many have said, the takers outnumber the makers. There are two ways to reduce the number of takers, 1) reduce/eliminate gov't handouts or 2) an improvement in the jobs market. We know that neither of those options are possible in the next 4 years so the GOP, and the nation, is sunk.

The worst part (or one of the worst parts) is that James Carville was 100% correct. The takers have a lock on the country for the next 40 years, although if you subtract Obama's first 4, it is only 36 years. Which will steal the remaining years of my life. Yep, America as we knew it is gone.

If America were a bus, Deneen Borelli would be the new Rosa Parks. Borelli is the very model of a human being, an African American and a woman who is just plain tired up to here at all of the back of the bus treatment dished by liberals — black and white alike — to conservatives who happen to be black. Ms. Borelli has in a figurative sense, as Rosa Parks did in the original and literal sense, sat down in a seat reserved for liberals at the front of the American bus.

The impending policies of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will affect individual farmers and their employees. There are an estimated 600,000 crop workers and roughly 20,000 livestock workers in California at a given time. For every job in farming, the industry creates two to three nonfarming jobs. It´s an industry that should thrive in California, where the climate is kind.(Snip)"There´s nothing affordable about the Affordable Care Act," Tom Nassif said to us; he´s president and CEO of Western Growers, an advocacy group representing area and regional family farmers in Arizona and California.

A country that stakes its future on lies will not have one. The fashionable lie of the moment is “gay marriage.” The push to deprive children of mothers and fathers for the sake of “genderless” marriage has never been stronger. The media propaganda about its “inevitability” is unremitting. One would think, judging by all the triumphant rhetoric heard this week, that over 30 states had approved it. In fact, over 30 states have banned it. According to the Washington Post, which just a few weeks ago was categorizing Christians as racists, the issue is all settled and done.

It was bad enough for the Obama administration to earn an overall grade of C-minus on its level of transparency from the independent watchdog group Cause of Action. When coupled with evidence of what is being hidden, the information makes the administration look even worse. Cause of Action uses requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), lawsuits, and other tools to expose what it calls “job-killing federal government regulations, waste, fraud, and cronyism.” As has been reported by Caroline May at the Daily Caller and others, the organization last week issued a report called “Grading the Government,”

Want to know if Republicans finally back immigration reform, stand a chance of picking up Senate seats in the midterms, or get their act together by 2016? Instead of the GOP, watch the Rubio-Paul Party. Forget John Boehner. Ignore Karl Rove. The real action in the GOP is coming from the newest wing of the party, the one born in the spring of 2009 - the offspring of Tea Party activists that almost single-handedly propelled Republicans to control of the House. This new movement brought Marco Rubio and Rand Paul to Washington

The weasels who wrote the Obama health law postponed the pain until after the 2012 presidential election. Popular provisions were put into effect immediately, such as allowing children to stay on their parent’s plan until age 26, offering “free” colonoscopies and mammograms (in truth, forcing you to pay for them in your premium, whether you get them or not), and giving women the thrill of getting contraceptives at the drugstore without paying anything. The White House also granted 1,472 waivers to certain companies and unions exempting them from insurance reforms

This may sound odd coming from someone who has spent his life working in political reporting, but I find it extremely sad when people can’t separate politics from the rest of their lives. I’m not talking about people getting worked up about politicians; we live in divided times, so things are bound to get heated when talking about elected officials. I’m talking about people who say “I want nothing to do with [Person X] because he is a conservative/liberal/Republican/Democrat in his personal life.” This is why I find the Orson Scott Card thing so frustrating.

Last week, President Obama told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that “we don’t have an immediate crisis in terms of debt.” It was par for the course (after all, he is almost always golfing) for the nation’s chief executive who just last year did not know the amount of our nation’s debt and made the preposterously naive statement that “a lot of it we owe to ourselves.” Apparently, our coming debt crisis is the only one Democrats do want to go to waste.

If President Obama’s rhetoric on domestic policy can be said to have a coherent theme, it involves his desire to use government to create a level playing field in which no single segment of the electorate enjoys unfair advantages or suffers disproportionate disadvantages in the pursuit of happiness. He is particularly concerned, he tells us, that the “rich” pay their fair share while poor and minority Americans receive their just due. Somehow, though, every policy decision made by his administration seems to tilt the playing field against the latter.

Celebrities are now upset about fracking, the injection of chemicals into the ground to crack rocks to release oil and gas. With everyone saying they want alternatives to foreign oil, I´d think celebrities would love fracking. I´d be wrong. Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono and their group, Artists Against Fracking, don´t feel the love. Yoko sang, "Don´t frack me!" on TV. Stopping fracking is the latest cause of the silly people. They succeeded in getting scientifically ignorant politicians to ban fracking in New York, Maryland and Vermont. Hollywood gave an Oscar to "Gasland," a documentary that suggests fracking

Staffers for Sen. Dean Heller have been bullying other senators’ aides to protect the Nevada Republican’s space in the Russell Senate Office Building, CQ Roll Call has learned. As part of the biennial Senate office lottery, junior members are obligated to show their office suites to more senior members, who then have 24 hours to decide whether to claim that space as their own. Heller’s office suite — which he inherited after the scandal-fueled resignation of Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev. — may be particularly attractive to other senators because its floor plan includes a larger-than-average member office.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
