Election Aftermath

A little disturbing that Twitter is a twitter with threats to Romney and Ryan's lives if they win.



Hopefully cooler heads will prevail and we won't have to deal with any rioting or looting.

Well it sure is.  Just like all the threats 4 years ago.

Give it a rest.

I heard as much from two, ahem, "gentlemen" in the bank lobby yesterday as they spoke in near unintelligible lingo.  Pretty amazing how much non-sense gets spread about what will and will not happen if a certain candidate wins.  These two were apparently worried their gravy train would come to an end if Romney is elected.  Apparently, they think they been gettin' their Obama money.

Considering our incumbent has had to deal with more death threats than any other sitting President, I wonder where your outrage over THAT is?

Wait, nevermind....

Yes, you didn't ask them if they were concerned about getting their guns taken away?

That Christianity would be outlawed?

That Sharia Law would take over?

Us 'telligent folk already know that will happen with Obama's increased flexibility these next four years.  I suspect he will take the oath of office on a Quran wearing full Islamic garb if he's re-elected.  Then he will turn around and urinate on the Constitution.

All those threats. And they call Terry Bradshaw a racist?
I think I'll have a bucket of chicken at lunch.

I think so too....

I also think that there will be "whites only" bathrooms mandated and women will be forced to attend tea with retired Michele Bachman.

RMoney returns to Wall Street.... there will be fewer horses and bayonets!

Surely there are no obama threats on twitter...

Death threats in public to a candidate or official should not be tolerated.

I have seen several of my 'friends' on FB with threats of moving out of the country.

Pretty childish.  Even when Bush won back in 2004 I didn't think we were going to hell, like some on the right have seemed to prophesize.

Seems like as good a place to re-post my FB status update this morning:


For those unhappy with the election results last night, I highly recommend you buy a bicycle and ride the crap out of it! Here's why:

1) Burns fat, not $5 a gallon gas
2) Proactive healthcare so you don't have to rely on Obamacare and a daily handful of pills
3) Great form of stress relief to help you endure the stupidity coming out of Washington and state houses all over the country

[Gaspar]

I think the good news we can take out of these election results is that this is probably one or two coffin nails from the end of the Republican party.  Hopefully within the next 4 years we can cultivate the birth of a real Libertarian movement to serve as an alternative for people like myself who believe social policy is separate from political and economic policy.  Republicans lost this election.

Tea Party Slams Mitt Romney as 'Weak Moderate Candidate' Hand-Picked by 'Mushy-Middle' GOP

http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whispers/2012/11/07/tea-party-slams-mitt-romney-as-weak-moderate-candidate-hand-picked-by-mushy-middle-gop

The Tea Party Patriots, one of the most prominent organizations within the fiscally conservative tea party movement, says Mitt Romney lost the election because he was a "weak moderate" candidate that was "hand-picked" by the establishment GOP.

"For those of us who believe that America, as founded, is the greatest country in the history of the world – a 'Shining city upon a hill' – we wanted someone who would fight for us," Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin wrote in an e-mail, quoting 40th president and conservative hero Ronald Reagan. "We wanted a fighter like Ronald Reagan who boldly championed America's founding principles... What we got was a weak moderate candidate, hand-picked by the Beltway elites and country-club establishment."

Romney made efforts in the campaign to reach out to the tea party—especially in his choice of right-wing ideologue Paul Ryan as running mate. But as the election drew closer, the GOP nominee tacked closer to the center, and in the final debate he made few contrasts between himself and President Obama.


The Tea Party Patriots said it had to work harder going forward to stop the "mushy-middle" members of the GOP from "getting rolled" by the left.

The group also told followers that they were "not going away," despite losses Tuesday night by tea party congressmen Allen West in Florida and Joe Walsh in Illinois, as well as a near-loss by Rep. Michele Bachmann in Minnesota.

Martin said the group would now turn its attention back to Congress, where it has been more successful in pushing its message of fiscal conservatism, where it would battle over the budget, the debt and against Obamacare.

The Tea Party needs to realize that there are far more people in the middle than them.  They are just as fringe as the ultra-libs on the left.  There's about 60% of the electorate who is really weary of hard-line partisanship.
