GOP casts about for answers after losses

[Chulanowa]

1. Their tears make me stronger! QQ more, jesusland!

[PretzelWarrior]

10. GAWD> your post just had me busting up so much

and I don't even know if I fully understand it.

[truthisfreedom]

2. Pardon me, my schadenfreude is showing.

Why does it hurt when I feel glee?

[ZeitGuy]

40. I dunno. But I love it when you sprechen sie Deutsch.

[votetastic]

3. Why so glum?

Your party can't ruin this country for another 4 years?

:)

[AlCzervik]

4. They really need to support "Our president", period, end of story.

[struggle4progress]

24. especially in a time of war

:D

[AlCzervik]

25. damn straight and if you wealthier gopers travel overseas since Obama has made the world

more receptive to us USAmericans i suggest you remember "Politics stops at the water's edge", got that freepers?

[ZeitGuy]

37. So, have I told you that I think I love you?

No stalking involved. Seriously.

[ZeitGuy]

43. Remind me to tell you about my uncle in Italy and all of his expatriate friends...

...who are inundated with back-slaps and free dinners by their Italian friends who are celebrating Obama's -- and America's -- victory in the GE.

[snake in the grass]

58. I love Italy...

...for exactly that reason. Greece is even more so. Beautifully friendly people.

[wtbymark]

5. aaaw

so sad, too bad, paybacks a bitch :headbang:

[scarletwoman]

6. America's just not that into you.

[billyoc]

11. Nono, GOD's just not that into you.

:evilgrin:

[complain jane]

21. LOL

[stuntcat]

23. lol, right?

They need to LET IT GO

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

7. I still haven't figured it out yet but someone tell me ...

WTF ARE THEY SO SAD FOR?

[skooooo]

8. It looks like a portrait made in the 1800s when everyone frowned..

...all the time. You know, that real Puritanical look???

[TheDebbieDee]

9. They need to get the phuck over it!

If they can't get over, they can just get the phuck out of my country! MY COUNTRY!

[TheKentuckian]

12. Poor babies. Bless their little hearts they're going to have to suffer

through tax cuts, cleaner air, less expensive health care, and they might even miss the chance to live under fascism.

When will the torment end? Will they have to stay employed and face increased buying power as well?!?

[ZeitGuy]

13. They look like Rick Santorum's family after Bob Casey whipped his @ss..

[mokawanis]

16. I love that photo

maybe I'm being cruel but that photo has always made me laugh.

[ZeitGuy]

17. Me too. I have it on my fridge.

:evilgrin:

[democrattotheend]

22. I have a friend who worked on his campaign and saw his kids crying that night

She said it was pretty devastating for them and for everyone. I know we like beating Republicans, but have we really stooped to the level of celebrating pictures of kids crying? Come on...

[ZeitGuy]

26. I'm not celebrating his children's tears.

My guess is that those tears probably stem from the knowledge of what's waiting for them at home. And in that respect, I most certainly felt sorry for those children.

However, I feel no sorrow for voting-age adults who backed McCain/Palin, for reasons I stated in response to Skip Intro, below.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

55. That little girl shouldn't have been put out on stage like that.

She must be mortified.

[AlCzervik]

18. don't forget the bookend--it would be cruel for me to post this but i feel i should

that's some parenting right there, poor kid.

[ZeitGuy]

33. Oh, Lord...

She looks like she's gonna squeeze the head right offah that doll with the matching dress (Christ, who thought of THAT "touch" for a freakazoid-family-in-mourning photo op??)

[Arugula Latte]

44. It seems like something out of a Cohen Bros. film, doesn't it?

[RagAss]

52. Bingo !

[ZeitGuy]

61. NAILED it!!

:rofl:

[Raine]

19. Me too

I know it's cruel but when I think about what they put us thru any little bit of sympathy I would have for them is gone. :yoiks:

[Skip Intro]

14. I feel bad for them

that's just me, tho

I don't like unhappiness, I don't like disappointment, I don't like dispair, on anyone's face.

I wish we could all get on the same team for once - the human team. I wish we could all welcome them in somehow, show them another way than they've known, and make them smile again, not from the joy they once felt from the defeat and suffering of those they deem to be outside their perfect circle, but from the overwhelming feeling of humanity, oneness, coming home, unity.

Ah, yeah, go ahead and shoot that balloon down, I got another one.

:)

[ZeitGuy]

15. Actually, I understand and appreciate the sentiment.

Then again, they supported a man whose entire campaign was built upon race-baiting, lies, slander, innuendo, character assassination and a complete lack of substance. A guy who cavalierly caved in to the frothy-mouthed evangelical base of his party and anointed a redneck, fundamentalist, comical farce of an idiot as his running mate -- to mark his first "presidential" decision.

So, I guess that's where my sympathy for them ends.

At about the two-second mark, roughly.

[democrattotheend]

20. Am I crazy for feeling sorry for them?

I remember how awful we felt in 2004, and maybe I'm just too compassionate, but I find it hard to wish that on anyone.

[treestar]

64. We know how they reacted to us in 2004

THEY certainly are not compassionate at such a time.

Remember how smug they were?

[sakabatou]

27. I don't see the link...

[Brooklyns_Finest]

28. I love it!

Feel sorry for them? We have them on the run. Now is the time to crush them for a generation.

DOn't feel bad for these people. At this moment they are concieving a scheme to obstruct Mr Obama's Presidency.

[ZeitGuy]

29. No one here is interesting in "crushing" these people, friend.

They're American citizens, who need to be shown the error of their ways and assured that they are not being threatened by an Obama presidency. They are entitled to have their rights protected as much as any one of us. To say otherwise tells me that you may wish to rethink whether this place is for you.

[Cirque du So-What]

30. Bob, bring me all my garmonbozia

[ZeitGuy]

32. God, I miss "Twin Peaks." (nt)

[Cirque du So-What]

35. It's on a relatively new cable channel called Chiller

Twice daily.

[ZeitGuy]

36. SWEEEEET!!!!

I have that channel - brand new to my provider!!! Rawk ON!!

[Dappleganger]

31. It's like they just discovered that God...

loves Democrats, too.:rofl:

[Capt. America]

34. I guess this means that God has forsaken them?

Maybe if we are lucky they will have to wander in the desert for 40 years.

[LiberalPersona]

38. That's what

everyone who didn't vote for Bush and the rest of the world looked like during his entire 2nd term.

[Liberal_in_LA]

39. That's a sad looking bunch.

[Waiting For Everyman]

41. They collectively need a "Moonstruck" snap out of it face-slap moment.

To snap out of the stupid. That's what epic fail looks like. ("Oh gee, what do we do now - our bullshit doesn't work anymore?")

Never have so many people been so backward and screwed up, as during this RW Religious Right era since 1980.

The rest of the nation woke up, and there they are... "Left Behind". :evilgrin:

[zulchzulu]

42. Now we are going to round all of you up and....

...(insert tinfoil hat GOP conspiracy theory here)...

[BeyondGeography]

45. Their turn

[Aristus]

46. Imagine how bad it would feel, GOP-pers, if it was due to a Supreme Court decision!

Or is it the fact that it was an undisputed election that bothers you? No validation for your putrid beliefs?

[Capt. America]

68. Exactly. Thank you!

[LittleClarkie]

47. Makes me sad

reminds me too much of myself in 2004



Edited to add:

I'd forgotten about the mullet. Eesh. What was I thinking?

[IDemo]

48. "And then shall come locusts, pestilence, and health care for all Americans."

The horror, the horror...

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

49. Wow. It's like that epic Santorum family concession pic, times 57 million.

Ah what the heck, it always deserves reposting. Every little element of this photo is perfect. If there were a Pulitzer Prize for schadenfreude, this would win.

[ZeitGuy]

53. Beat you to it. Sorry, hoss. (nt)

[Quantess]

57. She's crying because her prayers didn't work.

I will bet $1 that is why she's crying. Her family all pressured her to pray for her daddy to win, he lost, and now she feels like a failure because her prayers didn't work.

[Rocknrule]

50. My response:

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

[RagAss]

51. I fart right up their nostrils !!!!

[begin_within]

54. What the hell do they expect, after 8 years of wanton, infantile destruction?

They need to sit in a corner and cry for the next 8 years.

[progressivebydesign]

56. I haven't seem so many white faces since the flour machine went haywire at the mill. n/t

[ACTION BASTARD]

59. Love it or Leave it! Support the President! These colors don't run!

See how easy it is to use their own words against them? No one has any idea if i'm talking about Bush or Obama.

Their sadness gives me joy. Sad, sad white low-info voters. More, more I crave it.

[RBInMaine]

60. They've spent a LONG time EARNING their depression !

[TK421]

62. Right-click, set as background....on days when I'm feeling down

:thumbsup:

[CitizenLeft]

63. for every "GET OVER IT!" and "SORE/LOSERMAN!" comment...

...we had to suffer in 2000, for every Swiftboat smug snide lying remark we had to swallow in 2004, I say "fuck 'em."

[workinclasszero]

65. They prayed for a deluge at Obama's acceptance speech

and they got a beautiful night. During the repig convention a hurricane hit the country.

Did the reich wing listen? Oh hell no of course not!

McKKKain and Mooselini just got slapped down by a pissed off public sick of the lies, slander, wars and the destruction of the middle class.

The damn repigs don't want answers because that would conflict with their Reagan voodoo economic theories and their Scrooge like social policy's.

The whole dammed party is doomed to extinction and I thank God for that.

[budkin]

66. Suffer you bastards. Karma is a motherfucker.

[DesertRat]

67. MOVE ON!

[sellitman]

69. That makes me feel better than a Baby Ruth .

[happychatter]

70. in the spirit of bipartisanship...

I drink their tears

[crossroads]

71. And they prayed so hard too!

Awww... God just doesn't like them anymore!
:evilgrin:

[Uncle Joe]

72. The truly ironic thing is, they have the least amount of logical reason to be depressed.

I just wish they had more faith.

[tigereye]

73. that's how a lot of us felt for the last 8 YEARS

for even more troubling reasons...


It would be nice if they realized how sick the electorate was of their party's illegal, violent and irresponsible activities and learned something from it all. :(
