32. I was a basket case in 2004. Die hard Dean supporter, was modding here,
and campaigning all the time. After the primary, I came around ( I really had a hard time with Kerry ) and knocked on a billion and a half doors for Kerry. It felt like I was doing that and making phone calls 24/7. On election night, (well really after that first debate) I felt like I had been duped. I don't want to feel like that ever again. In it to win it!

8. I couldn't stand it there.
Some of the toughest liberals I know live there, but for the life of me I don't know how they do it. I lived there for awhile but had to leave. The conservatives in the DFW area are so incredibly douchey.

Ohio's not much better.

22. Education? Are you serious? That costs *gasp* taxpayers' dollars!
Can't have that, ya know. Even today, voters trounced an education initiative in my state.

14. Well...yes.
But how in the hell did we get someone like Obama in office right after Bush? It wasn't an anomaly. Honestly, how does a country going from electing the stupidest and most evil people in office to electing a man like President Obama? I know that what I'm going to remember tonight are all those people (including my daughter) dancing in the streets of Seatle, singing and laughing after Obama was elected, while my sister and I jumped up and down and screamed for joy out the windows. I'm convinced the people who voted to take away education, unemployment and healthcare benefits from people like my mother who may not live through the end of the year (this very night might kill her :( ) are incapable of that kind of joy.

17. History has a way of repeating itself.







(How does that go " ... condemned to repeat it" ?)

18. Actually, I don't think it is quite true. They were just too uninspired to get out and vote today
And that is partially the dems fault.

Don't get me wrong, mostly it is ignorance and stupidity on the part of the electorate but there is the dem's uninspiringly weak results. I think some were just discouraged like we are tonight but aren't political junkies like we are so they don't know what to do. They don't know if it is the dems fault or not and they are unsure enough that they just not inspired to vote.

20. I will say two things about stupidity....
(1) Most people are not stupid and the CAUSES for our losses are not people. The causes are external and overpowering influences such as the MSM, Big $$$$$ and Election theft.

(2) Although a lot of young people are tuned into the political landscape, there is a group that is totally absent. I went to a comedy show a month ago and the intelligent comedian made a joke about politics. You could hear crickets chirping. I have a lot of younger friends and relatives and few of them voted today. These people are Gen Xers. They, to me, are just lost..."out there" ungrounded...yet, they do not represent the majority. They simply are not counted and have never been part of the count.

28. It gets easier if you accept it
I wish I lived in a country like every other OECD nation. Paid vacations, paid holidays, universal health care, education and infrastructure being valued more than supply side tax cuts.

But we are the most right wing wealthy nation on earth. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Just be glad the big achievements of US socialism and progressivism (Social security, medicare, medicaid, universal education, voting rights act) have already been achieved. They'd never pass today.

29. I'm giving out an open invitation
to everyone in New Jersey to just go out and drink tomorrow night. Hell, everyone in the country.

One last hurrah before every social step forward in the last 50 years is taken away.

Because if I don't let my stress out over tonight, I'm going to end up driving back down to DC for the second time in a week and having a one man riot.

30. LOL, but in their defense, they are busy and they get inacurate information from places like Fox.
If they don't feel or experience that things are personally getting better, they don't believe it.
