Here Are the Top 5 Conservative Thought Leader Responses to Obama’s Victory
The day after the election, you can bet there are a slew of conservative responses to wade through. Well, we did the hard work for you and have included the top five.
1. Rush Limbaugh
“We’re not going to be able to explain this away in one day…Small things beat big things yesterday. Conservatism, in my humble opinion, did not lose last night. It’s just very difficult to beat Santa Claus. It is practically impossible to beat Santa Claus. People are not going to vote against Santa Claus, especially if the alternative is being your own Santa Claus. Now, everyone is jumping on Romney’s chain today, getting in his chili. Look, he might not have been the optimal candidate, but he’s a fine man. He would have been great for this country…I went to bed last night thinking we’d lost the country. I don’t know how else you look at this.”
Via the Daily Rushbo:
2. Glenn Beck
“Man, sometimes God really sucks…So I sat there on my set last night and what I said, I think about this time yesterday, was I caught myself halfway in the middle of a monologue and I think I cleared my throat and I said, I’m biting my tongue here to say things that I ‑‑ hopefully I won’t have to say tomorrow. But I got up yesterday at 3:00 in the morning and I knew. And I couldn’t sleep and I started to say my prayers and I got up and kneeled down by the edge of my bed and I knew that ‑‑ or I suspected that my mind’s not God’s mind, and the peace and the comfort that he had given me and so many of my friends was not about an election. God’s about a bigger picture than an election or a candidate. God is about the freedom of mankind. God is about the Constitution, which is a divinely inspired.
Just like those Christians that rolled up the Dead Sea Scrolls and put them in pots. I don’t know what happened to those Christians but they hid them. They hid them and they preserved them because it was important. The Bible was never wiped out, but the people who originally wrote the Bible were scattered. I don’t know what the future holds for the country, I don’t know what the future holds for business, I don’t know what the future holds for the dollar but I will tell you this: Do your own homework.”
The Glenn Beck online store has also released this T-shirt:
3. Michael Barone
“The culturally cohesive America of the 1950s that some of us remember, usually glossing over racial segregation and the civil-rights movement, is no longer with us and hasn’t been for some time…Americans have faced this before. This has been a culturally diverse land from its colonial beginnings. The mid-20th-century cultural cohesiveness was the exception, not the rule.”
4. Michelle Malkin
“My counsel to you tonight: Please, do not be bitter. Do not fall prey to the Beltway blame game. Do not get mired in small things. Do not become vengeful creatures like our political opponents who voted out of spite instead of love of country. We still have boundless blessings to count — and to secure. I remain a proud, unrepentant believer in the American Dream. And I know you do, too. Freedom will endure because we will keep fighting for it. We can’t afford not to, friends.”
#5. Newt Gingrich
“We all thought we understood the historical pattern and the fact that with this level of unemployment, with this level of gasloine prices, what would happen. First of all the President did a very, very effective campaign. Second, I think that the country was looking at a different set at of things than we were looking, and I think Republicans are going to have to take a very serious look at what happened and why did it happen, and why were we not more competitive at the presidential level…John Boehner and the House Republicans do control the House of Representatives, which is first in the Constitution. And which has a right to say, ‘Gee, we have a mandate, too.’ And the question for the President’s going to be, ‘Is he going to really sit down and listen?”
In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 2:39pmI know there’s millions of idiots in this country who voted for Barry simply because they think he’s our first black president,that’s the extent of their intellect. What they fail to see is he’s a Marxist and they probably have no clue what Marxism is,that’s the other problem. We’re very close to bankruptcy and with the Soros paid for election results our fate is sealed. I suspect a depression within two years followed by civil unrest because this generation won’t react the same way they did in the 30′s.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 2:47pmTwo vital things were learned last night and some of it harks back to Rush’s “santa claus” remarks.
1. The media is now an active arm of the democrat party. They don’t even feign objectivity. They will block, obfuscate and attack for their liberal candidates. It’s imperative that conservative reporters, anchors and analysts create a bigger presence in television and news media..and not just nationally but just as importantly..local news level. The media’s complicity was vital to Obama’s win last night.
2. Indentify and begin to create a presence in electorates with diverse ethnic demographics. Florida is mostly “red” but there are large enough “blue” voting blocs to negate their electoral votes. We must begin to insinuate ourselves in those areas and give them GOP candidates that appeal to their sense of empathy and priorities. Exit polls show that Obama was seen as more empathetic and in tune with the voter’s “plight”. This of course goes back to the media where they’ve made sure Obama is seen as a benefactor. But deeds not just reports will change these electorates.
This isn’t new by the way…the left has been doing it for decades…you’ve now seen the results. A man how by all logic should have lost the election was re-elected with sentiments like “I’m not really happy with his job but I think he’s trying and cares about me”.
LEARN FROM THIS!

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 2:59pmWe do not have an educated and informed electorate. The democrats understand this and know that they can identify groups, promise them something or scare them with lies and win. By mid term elections, they will have demonized Republicans to the point that they will take over the House again. It will be easy to do because Obama and the senate will not work with the house to resolve budget, taxes, etc then they will blame it on Republicans. And, sad as it is, I believe that most people won’t wake up until the Country “crashes and burns”. The Republican party doesn’t get what Obamas plan is and is seemingly unable to put anything in place to stop him. This was the chance and it is gone.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 3:06pmMaybe they aren’t idiots. Maybe there are just a lot of bad people out there. I know we don’t like to think of mankind that way. Much easier to say “uninformed” or “idiots”. Harder to say “thieves”, “naredowells” (people don’t say that do they?). But maybe reality is that the moral compass of mankind is gone. It lies between the seat cushions, lost in the couch during an episode of America Idol.

Your imaginary sky daddies “plan” is an abysmal one and would make any omnipotent being unworthy of worship. Stop speaking for god, stop pretending you’re god. If some god wants their plan to be known they wouldn’t rely on some religious loon in the bronze age or on the internet today to get that message out. IOW there isn’t one. Stand on your own two damn feet and fix the issue without your religious inebriation putting a drag on intellectual discussion.

Sorry Romney you can’t out Democrat the Democrat. which is what he tried to do. He ran too far to the center. Is was further to the left than Clinton was! How can any liberty minded person get behind him?

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 3:37pmOk Michelle Malkin is at best a wanna be and doesn’t belong in this group. Two members of the group in particular, GB and Rush did two things during the campaign cycle. First, both predicted a landslide victory for Romney, which tells you how insightful they are. And second they both should take responsibility for assisting Romney in driving away a host of independent voters. If Romney, these jokers and Romney supporters spent half as much time talking about better ideas and better policies instead of calling the PRESIDENT an alien, marxist, communist, socialist, etc. and lying about the PRESIDENTS policies they would have captured voters like myself. I voted for Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr.. Would have voted for McCain if he had not insulted the electorate by choosing an moronic, religious zealot like Palin. And I could vote for an individual who keeps their money outside the US for the sole purpose of avoiding taxes and floats lies like Welfare to Work, Medicare benefit cuts and Jeep jobs to China. Particularly one who continues the lie when it is pointed out to him and who’s wife answers a question about his lies by saying Mitt says things he believes strongly. Well Mitt’s entitled to his beliefs, but not his own facts. And when you say something that is not supported by the facts you are a l

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 3:43pm@Detroit paperboy Well if your talking about Food Stamps here are the percentages. Don’t focus on what you incorrectly characterize as the base of the democratic party. Focus on the independents who didn’t vote for Romney. The conservative, evangelical christians who voted ideologically for Romney are no different than any particular group who voted for the PRESIDENT. If welfare and food stamp participation are up it is because of the lagging impact of Bush’s recession. Funny don’t remember anyone ever calling the recession during Reagan’s first term the Reagan recession.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 3:45pmIt’s not God’s fault. He gave us a will and he cannot go against our will. A little more that 50% decided that they wanted Obama and that’s what they got. It’s all about “what the gov can give me”, not about what is right. A wrong does not make a right. God have mercy on their souls. The Christians “you are in trouble with God” because you voted for abortion and same sex marriage and that is sin. In voting for Obama you came against God’s word and God Himself.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 3:49pm@progressiveslayer @Detroit Boy Ohio – Mr. Obama is winning big in cities with populations over 50,000 people, where one in four voters are located: He leads Romney 68 percent to 30 percent. The suburbs are tight, with a small edge to Romney. Guess a lot of those idiots and give away people live in the suburbs right?

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 4:48pmI agree with Ghost. I purposefully decided not to give to Sandy relief. I don’t care that they are out of food and water. I don’t care that they are cold.

Oh well.
In fact, I’m not going to be giving any charitable money to peoplewho are living in the blue states. When the next terrorist attack hits, and it will, it will most likely hit a target in a blue state. They won’t get a dime from me. I don’t feel sorry for them. Isn’t that what my taxes are for?

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 4:58pm@Rothbardian_in_the_Cleve, 56% is not winning the Independent vote, 80% or more would have been winning the Independent vote. Romney’ campaign and the RNC (under the direction of Reince Priebus) killed the Independent vote by changing the rules at the convention to silence grassroots candidates in future elections, ignoring the voices of the people at the convention, and all the while, Republicans stayed silent about this subversive act! This is why many Freedom Works Tea Party members decided to not vote for Romney and is why Ron Paul supporters refused also.
The GOP should call for the resignation of Reince Priebus, immediately. I tried to warn all of you, but nobody on here seems to listen to you unless you are a Fox News contributor.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 4:59pmROTHBARD…JCROOK is an idiot..dont’ confuse him. He just says what he’s told to say or what he “feels” should be the truth.
Look at the exit polls they’re all saying the same thing…”I don’t like the job Obama’s done so far but he’s trying and he knows what I’m going through”. All Obama managed to do was paint Romney as out of touch and less empathetic. The millions spent on destroying Romney’s character paid off. Obama didnt’ get a mandate but he’ll act as if he did. Obama got a get out of jail free card.
Don’t underestimate the role the complicit media played in making sure Obama was not seen as inept or corrupt. They covered for him, elevated him and attacked his opponents ruthlessly. Ask someone what the underemployment rate is under Obama..they’ll look at you blank eyed. Yet under Obama more people are underemployment since WWII. Ask people how important is it to address the debt and curb government spending. You’ll get answers all over the map. Obama’s counting on playing the clock out and letting his successor deal with it. Obama’s inherited his own mess but all he cares about is taxing and spending..not addressing the deficit.
JCROOK never addresses the deficit..go ahead..try to make him speak on it. All JCROOK does is spout the media matters approved “Romney’s a liar liar pants on fire”. This apparently is going to fix the debt problem according to idiots like JCROOK.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 7:04pmRepublicans dominated the White House since the late 60′s into the 2000′s with 2 exceptions: Jimmy Carter due to Watergate and Bill Clinton due to Ross Perot. Otherwise they would have won every time.
The Democrats pushed through NEW IMMIGRATION LAWS in the 60′s and accelerated them in the late 80′s. Since 1990 over 1 MILLION legal immigrants have entered this country every year. That is 22 MILLION voters. Their children are now of age to vote. Throw in illegal aliens who have entered this country and have had children in America are now also of age to vote. That is easily 50 MILLION VOTERS.
With probably 80% of them voting Democrat. THAT’S 40 MILLION DEMOCRAT VOTERS!

You rejected the only man who had a PROVEN record of not only being a contrasting paleo-conservative, but also had a consistent and stellar record of fidelity to the Constitution.
You rejected the only man who was a pioneer in bringing awareness and activism against the Federal Reserve, which is and will continue to be, the root of our financial downfall.
You rejected the only candidate that had not only the most military support, but the most youth, independent, and recovering Democrat support. These people didn’t just sit out the election because he wasn’t running, it was because Mittens sucked as a candidate. That’s why you had “low turnout” in both the military and civilian populace.
You rejected the only man who either tied or BEAT mittens in head to head polls against ohmamma.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 8:39pmI’m just amazed that so many people are shocked. I could have told you this result from the beginning.
The republican party is too weak and cowardly. When the going gets tough, they fail every time, especially in debates. I knew for certain Romney would lose the moment I saw that last debate. I listened to these political talking heads today saying what went wrong as if it suddenly just dawned on them, but they STILL are not getting it. They go on how they need to reach the younger generation, but the truth is that will never happen. Conservative politicians want to believe they can simply go out there and address the population with their platform and everything will be fine. Yet they are too blind to see that the entire educational system says their platform makes them cavemen that cling to religion and guns, even though Obama even said it! They think conservative ideas of family and morality are an outdated concept because this is what they are taught. The younger generation has been taught in our schools and universities that everything conservatives stand for is wrong and that conservatives are dumb and don’t believe in science. They are taught that the white male is the root of all evil and the cause of all problems for minorities. They are taught that conservatives are just a bunch of racist white people. The moral compass of this nation is in much worse shape than people comprehend or are willing to admit. It really IS that bad and there is no way conservatives

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 8:50pmIt really IS that bad and there is no way conservatives can ever win the minority or younger demographic until that changes. Our educational system will make sure of it. Most people can no longer discern what is and isn’t a lie. Until the conservatives SHOW WHY democrats are wrong and DO something about it, nothing will change. Just talking does nothing!
Let’s look at Stacy Dash’s comment of “I have other issues that are close to my heart like equality, and women’s rights, and the benefits of strong public schools. I realize on these issues I’m entirely progressive…” There you have it. Progressive democrats have convinced everyone that conservatives are anti-women, anti-minotiry, and anti-education. It’s absurd, but it is the truth.

I hope, no I pray that America is strong enough to with stand their folly. The saddest part is what won, the opposite ideology that the country was founded on and what it means to be an American. That also means the GOP will change for the worse to try to compete with majority.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 9:59pmI don’t care what ANYBODY says, this damn election was fixed!! You ain’t telling me that with Benghazi, Healthcare, “Tell Vladimir that I’ll have more flexibility after the election”, “You didn’t build that”, “Vote for revenge” and numerous other devastating occurrences from Obama – not to mention unemployment, gas prices (are going to shoot up again), food prices going sky high, he stopped the pipeline, he blew tax payer money on green jobs like Solyndra – (as well as others) – you ain’t telling me that he won this election fairly. Not to mention 2010 results of more Republicans in office. The electronic voting booths were automatically voting Obama, in Ohio they were letting people vote who weren’t even registered, this is un-effing-believable!!

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 3:44pmIt’s called “social heredity” and is controlled by:
churches
schools
media
it’s the learned social inputs that are planted in each citizens DNA derived from the consensus of current public opinion. It cannot be passed on to each heir thru physical heredity; it must be re-planted in each successive generation. If you control the churches, schools and media you can control the social heredity of entire generations.
In 1920 Paul would have had a better chance of being more mainstream… More people feared government then. Now, generations have been “nudged” toward the social DNA of trusting government.
until the 3 headed monster of social heredity can be re-claimed and nudged back to a more conservative message, consensus will skew towards communism… And Ron Paul will remain a lone warrior for liberty…

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 3:57pmWhat we are witnessing with disbelief and horror is >>>> the “End Cycle of all Democratic Republics”. This is the stage where the citizens and the oligarchs have been given the keys to the currency printing presses. The political process has no been monetized and co-opted. It always will end where it began. We shall return to slavery, wandering through a greater depression while the bankers, the professors, the professional politicians cling to the remaining parts of the government apparatus.
Systems are always perfectly designed for the results they obtain. Despite a carefully kept delusion to the contrary, the individuals in the various seats make no real difference. We once had a system that achieved the results it was designed for. Idiots, criminals and demagogues have monkey hammered it beyond any semblance of what it once was over the last hundred years. The result would have been the same.
Fix or replace? We would need a President, a Senate majority and a House majority all willing to take a chainsaw to the Fed and the DC bureaucracy at risk of their lives and livelihoods. At this point, replace. Time for a reset. Game over. The only person that really understood this and had the leadership and balls to do anything about the status quo has just got off the train.
When historians look back they will see that we had the choice to actually get rid of the status quo but we nominated the POS that is Romney and sure enough lost our country.

I agree, but I will take issue with one thing. I don’t know your faith. That’s your business, not mine. I do know a couple of things that, to me, prevent a fully secular revival of constitutionalism. The founders were clear that our rights come from our creator…not man. I’m not sure how atheists fully reconcile that. I know natural law and all that but it doesn’t fully complete the equation for me (separate convo over beer someday maybe). The other warning that they all gave us in some form was that the Republic was predicated on morality. Right and wrong. Work ethics. Don’t steal. Be civil. Don’t lie. etc. No I know that non-believers can be moral people. There are lots of them. However, unless you connect the Republic to the moral prerequisite it is unsustainable. That moral prerequisite has to come from somewhere. There has to be some force to do good in people’s lives. If it isn’t God then what? And whatever that is, is it reasonable to extrapolate that belief system to support the mechanisms of a republic?

You may well be right. The counter might be, that it is a chicken and the egg scenario. You would convince them that natural law is a viable world view that should be embraced out of logic and reason. Then, the logical extension of that would be the constitution. They would have to remain in symbiotic equilibrium for perpetuity. Yikes, that’s a tough sell. Heck it all is, who am I kidding? Both our arguments are moot. Your natural law approach wouldn’t survive Junior High School. Our collective intellectual capacity is somewhere on par with Idiocracy. My argument seems less and less viable as the country becomes more and more secular. I’ve never done missionary work, but I can’t imagine explaining Christianity to a 15 year old who has never been to church and grew up on Xbox, Twitter and Jacka$$.

Rothbard, I am, and always have been, proud as hell to call Libertarians like you my countrymen. I like when you and I agree on things. I hate that we are now, apparently, the minority in our own country.
Libertarians are truly my brothers and sisters, because they share a healthy respect for the concept and ideals of individual Liberty, and they cherish the same founding doc.u.ments that I do. This is the essence of the American Spirit. It is the absolute core of what made this country great.
Sadly, we were informed yesterday that the majority of voters in this country are not like us in this regard. They are apathetic about these things at best and downright hostile towards them in general. How can this be? And how much worse will it get before it gets better?

Morals are logical propositions, which must withstand intellectual scrutiny to be justified as being “true” or “false”. While natural law theorists like Grotius, Pufendorf, Hobbes, Hutcheson, etc. worked from the assumption that God was the author of these laws, they understood that “reason” was the device man had to use to determine such “natural laws”. To paraphrase Grotius -natural laws would be true, even if God did not exist.
Morality likely comes innately from man’s biology and is expanded upon by his rational capacity. Spencer makes the great point that even though he believes the moral sense is an innate quality, it does not control man. Just like hunger or thirst, man can ignore his instinct and drives.

The schools are the breeding ground of this Marxist ideology. Glenn’s maps of the Ohio counties today was very enlightening. The state was all red – except for the counties containing or surrounding the universities – which were blue.
Get your kids out of public schools and give them a good education so they’ll have a chance.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 2:19pmAnother interesting pattern across the board here during this and recent past elections, is that the conservative candidate is significantly ahead and vastly popular, until very suddenly they are not.
Remember Harry Reid? Sharon Angle was AHEAD until the power “went out” in Maricopa County, and poof! Harry Reid was suddenly the winner.
That same pattern is present in a large plurality of the conservative contests in this election. They are ahead, then after some distracting, manipulative “event,” like the unexplained recount on Allen West, they are not.
I do not believe for a second that the long voting lines were there for the radical left candidates. I believe that most of those were desperately dedicating themselves to do whatever they could to save their country.
I fully believe that conservatives way outnumber the supposed 50% “they” keep hammering into the dialogue, and that it’s more like 25%-30% working very hard to LOOK like 50%.

Michelle Malkin had some nice words. And no matter what you think of her beliefs, she is extremely attractive. Wowzers.
Rush’s view seems to hold some merit. I do think that Obama voting Americans by and large demonstrated that they are afflicted, as a class, with collective ADHD. None of the distraction issues had anything to do with facing the stark economic reality we now face, but Obama knew that his base is one large teeming mass of sympathetic ADHD sufferers. He just kept bring up new shiny non-topics and kept them enthralled. It worked.
Beck’s take, seems to me, to be way out there. God, I assume, does not approve of baby killing. Under this regime elected under “His will”, baby killing will continue AND involve forcing people to pay for it against their will.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 2:18pmSo are we ready to admit that the tea party doesn’t work in this country? republicans are in trouble. especially with last nights results, in the senate and some house seats too. like Akin, West, Murdoch etc. etc. Republicans can’t and won’t win with such extreme views and weak candidates. The country is changing and the republicans inability to appeal to minorities, women, and young people will be their downfall.

Romney is a leftist east coast RINO. Everybody knows that. Additionally, the Left is correct that he does change his views with the wind. WE even said that during the primaries, repeatedly. It wasn’t those holding onto principle that caused this loss, it was distracted airbrained women who identify themselves by their vaginas, welfare recipients and stupid unexperienced college students and unions. Take your boilerplate talking point back to hell with you.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 2:38pm@Keaton,
You don’t get it. If conservatism changes then it isn’t conservatism. The difference is that collectivists will always win because they take from someone and give to someone else. Joe will always get Peter’s vote if he gives Peter all of Paul’s stuff. So long as there are more people that think they are entitled to someone else’s stuff then the system will not change until eventually Paul has no more to take. It’s that simple.
In order to get elected, conservatives would have to somehow embrace that model and then some. How would that be conservative? To me that is degrees of one party rule.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 3:04pmKeaton. Let me ask you a serious question. How would you guys on the left feel about us taking a few states, seceding, and going our own way? No war. Just let us go. You can run your country your way and we’ll run ours our way. I’m looking for a serious answer here.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 3:11pmPerhaps you are correct. The Tea Party (despite the media caricatures) stands for Constitutional principles, for founding principles. Limited government, balanced budget, individual responsibility. If those things are now considered “radical” in modern day America then, yes, without a doubt the Tea Party does not work in this country.

That would signal immediate war. Their rabble of fools may not know how economics works, but their leadership sure as hell does. The Left watching the producers leave, peacefully, is simply not something that they would allow to happen.
Which is why we should move to Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska and the Dakotas. All the nuke silos are there. :)

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 6:17pm@Doug P. : I like that idea. We simply disagree too much on what kind of country we want. An easy fix is to separate. Do you really think there would be a war if we simply take a few states and have our own government?

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 2:18pmAm I disappointed in the election outcome, yes ? I firmly believe Mitt Romney is a good honest man.
I also believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that reason will make itself known in the not too distant future. Whether or not that “reason” is a positive or negative, remains too be seen.
My big concern, is that our world and most importantly our nation is tilting in the direction of all out “evil”. I sincerely hope I’m wrong, nothing at this point is pointing to the opposite. Anyone with any spiritual beliefs can forsee “tribulations” ahead.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 2:33pmThat frightens me, but is probably correct. I got into an online argument with my 24 year old niece this morning who was standing up for Obama and went on to blame conservatives for all of the world’s problems. She then went on with all of the talking points from Obama’s campaign that were distractions and lies. I was just flabbergasted. She was not raised like that. But this man has a silver tongue and the ability to make people believe anything. He has the ability to turn children on their parents and elders. He has the ability to stir the poor and impoverished to hate the wealthy or even mildly well off.
I asked my own mom later and she reminded me that there will be wars and rumors of wars in the end of times. And that children will turn on their parents. Scary times are ahead regardless of what you believe…

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 12:54amThis is the first election in this country where voters didn’t vote for the welfare of the country, they voted for their own selfish desires. Gays for marriage, Dope heads for pot, Latins for amnesty, women for abortions, students for studend loans, women for abortions, elderly for healthcare and the list goes on and on. The democRATS have found the G spot of the eldery, unmoral, the self serving, and the entitled population and are exploiting their lack of education about the facts and/or their fears. It is no longer “ask what you can do for your country”, it’s all about what can my country do for me so i don’t have to do anything! I for one will no longer be helping anybody in blue states. Sorry NY and NJ, call your president for help, I’m sure after his round of golf he’ll take time to help you in your time of need. I suggest we ALL stop helping and take care only of our own. Like the spoiled child, send them out into the cold of night and they will be forced to find their way and/or recognize the government will not be there for them. Either way, lessons they ALL need to learn. Give no more food to food pantries, let the government do it (or not), no more donations of clothing, toys etc. It’s going to have to be no more Mr. Nice Guy. Make them live with what they are trying to force on all of us!!!

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 3:15pm“compromise” or “come to the center” means go left. No thanks. You don’t compromise for the truth. You lefties dont’ compromise in the least. You demagogue and have the media do your smear campaigns for you. That’s about to end.
If the conservatives are smart they’ll start eroding the liberal monopoly in the media and start an active groundgame in key districts where their ethnic demographics are making a difference to how the rest of the state votes. Florida is a clear example of this. Most of the state is “red” but key “blue” enclaves are populous and either negate or overcome the “red” voters in the rest of the state. Time to fix that problem.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 2:28pmmustang, I agree completely. I have said it all along that the only way obama could win is by voter fraud. Considering all of the problems with the voter machines and other means I can’t help but think that somehow obama has tampered with these results. I feel down so deep in my soul it scares me.
This stunt by chris christi is nothing short of a traitor. He sold out his Country, his State and his soul for some kind of political agenda. That fat bastard is so calculating and manipulative I know he did it for his own personal gains. He should be dis-avowed from the GOP and humiliated and scorned and anything else we can do to him for selling us out to obama.

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 12:39amVoter Fraud? They didn’t have to. Romney was a loser from the start. He never was a conservative and he never represented the Tea Party. I have definitely been trying to warn all of you since last year that Ron Paul would have been the choice. He would have pulled in 30% of the Democrat vote, He would have had all the Paul supporter votes, He would have had 80% of the Independent vote, all he needed was the Republican vote (those who have been saying anyone but Obama) and walla, a landslide. You guys blew it by listening to the media, that I kept warning you about, but you would not listen. and when I mean media. I mean that TV & Radio. Yes.. that means you Glenn Beck

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 2:29pmI think it’s much higher than 47%. You have to include public sector union thugs who handed Ohio to Obama. They are also on the public till for huge, overblown salaries and perks, and they circularly feed votes back to their democrat benefactors. Of course we retired people are paying for all this with rampant spending and printing, devaluing all of our hard-earned savings. Of course, Obamacare will see to it that seniors are denied procedures by the “panel”, and government-assisted suicide will take care of the rest. This will help reduce the cost of both medicare and social security while rewarding the elitist ruling class and their ignorant minions.
