Tuesday night, I want to see the look on Romney's face when he realizes he can't lie, cheat, and buy his way to the presidency. He is going to figure out very quickly that people just flat out don't like him, they don't like what he is selling, and they are not dumb enough to fall for his bullshit. I can't wait to see that smug, toothless smile wiped off of Ryan's lying face. That moment when he realizes that his "tea party movement" has imploded. I want to see Queen Anne's face when she realizes that not everything in life is going to be handed to her on a silver platter and that her ultra-white bread family will never step foot inside of the White House. I also can't wait for the moment, even though we will never see it, when the republicans have to explain to all of their billionaire donors that they wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on a man that never had much of a shot at winning and was one of the most unpopular presidential candidates in recent history.
I want to see tears and anger and the look of crushing defeat on the faces of all of these slime balls involved with the most dishonest and disgusting campaign in presidential history. I will stay up all night, I don't care. I need to see this absolute scum of the Earth have their hopes crushed. It will be one of the greatest moments of my life.

(53,410 posts)They have been so disrespectful, not only of President Obama, but of the Presidency and of the American citizens. They were so sure they could fuck us all over at will. What we want to see is a lot less destructive and evil as what they were sure they would see in our faces and our lives.
They need a karmic adjustment. And we have the right to see it happen.
I'll be happier if I never have to see his, his wife's, or his running mate's nasty-ass faces ever again. I just want them to go away and never be seen or heard from again.

But yes I'd like to see all those things you listed. Unfortunately those things require a modicum of introspection and self awareness which I don't think any of them possess.

(3,072 posts)His "three way tie for third!"? They are going to act like they won, even though they actually didn't. "We may not make it to the white house but our voices have been heard" kind of nonsense?

(1,198 posts)Was dying to pick out new china for the white house. I am SO glad she will not have that opportunity.
I remember when Michelle chose the Lincoln service for the first white house dinner... Just moving...

(53,410 posts)I can't even imagine how I would be able to deal with the grueling business of running in a campaign, even as a spouse who doesn't have to do the daily thing. It's got to be a horrible stress on the marriage. Political wives are forced to be there on call all the time.
She did try to be her usual majesty ordering people around and used to saying the idiocies she got away with as a millionaire's wife, but that isn't what happens in Presidential campaigns. Haughtiness is simply not tolerated by the American people, no matter how much you despise them. I don't think it's been much fun for her for months now.
