I would like to take a moment to ask you to please be charitable in the days ahead…but especially on Tuesday…while dealing with Obama cultists and all those on the Left when Barack Obama loses his reelection bid.
The Left will lash out with anger…and will generally behave like vampires doused in Holy Water, tossed out on their bare butts into the blazing sun, and then rolled around in pits of garlic and evaporated angels’ tears.
It will be tempting to taunt these people while they’re in their misery, but you have more class than that.
This may surprise you but I agree with Kevin. We’re better than them. Let’s take the high road.
Celebrate, but don’t gloat.
If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink. For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee. – Proverbs 25:21-22

Hillary Clinton would win by landslide against Mitt Romney, poll suggests | World news | guardian.co.uk
Not to put too fine a point on it, but all but the most “confused puddingheaded, muddleheaded fellow” must recognize what a bust Obama was. Oh well, it’s not the end of the world…unless the Mayans were right.
Oh my! Thanks for brightening my Monday morning.
Well I’m a right leaning independent and I would vote for Hillary/Bill. Ideological differences exist but they make up for it in experience.
Heh, I’ll join you in the ‘biblical mode’ and offer this for Paul Krugman. Whom I made the mistake of reading this morning.
But – as a reverence to who/how he used to be – I’ve selected the most solemn version I could find
:
I cannot resist adding Les Miz to any election
I’m inspired
“watch them run amuck” – on MSNBC!
I won’t gloat – but I will smile. And I will watch MSNBO writhe and beat upon their chests as the new day dawns.
Does dancing gangnam style count as gloating?
lol @ gangnam style victory dance! I’ll be jumping for joy and cheering!
A big, obnoxious, mean-ass f*cking smile.
I have no shame or remorse for that.
can someone please fix my html boo-boo?
Word.
We don’t know yet if the Mayans were right or not…..have to wait until after the election for that!
Well, maybe if the Mayans had not been worrying about the end of the world…….they would have seen that the Spanish were coming
funny…if you saw the Mel Gibson movie Apocalypto, that was sort of the idea at the very end…things went from bad to worse!
Tomorrow is just the beginning of the end, IMO. Much mischief can still be rendered before Jan. 20, both accidently and on purpose. We are not yet out of the woods, though we are probably in earshot of the highway.
Today is the 3rd anniversary of the Fort Hood massacre.
Yes, the site of the still unprosecuted “workplace violence”.

Caaaaahm aaaaaahn, PA!!!
Bucks Co is the neighboring county to me. Feeling good! Can’t wait to get out and vote tomorrow morning.
I’m amazed. I cancelled a subscription to the Inquirer when they depicted Hillary as an arsonist during the primary.
And, regarding DuJan’s advice, mea culpa. I know I’ve lapsed into hate speech (reverse hate speech?) over Obots in the last few years. I’ll think about going to confession after gloating on Tuesday.
I don’t know, maybe you ought to wait until Jan 21, 2013.
(just a thought)
Yeah, after 20 years of procrastinating about confession, I’m sure a few more months won’t hurt.
Grinz & “Get over it” about sums it up for me, for the Obots. .
Is MO campaigning for Mitt now?
“I’m Mitt Romney and I approve this message.”
He’s got both Biden and Moo working for him now!
I think the Obamas are the only ones better off today than they were 4 years ago
I’m gonna be better off on Wednesday than in the past 4 years.
I was going over our schedule with Elliesdad this morning, who is a real yeller dog. I was surprised to hear him say, “Put applying for a job as greeters at WalMart on the schedule for Wednesday if Romney loses.” I do believe the old dog will be voting Republican for the first time in his life.
‘
^^^^^^
AMEN
“I’m gonna be better off on Wednesday than in the past 4 years.”
you should tweet that!
VM —– I just did. Thnx
Elliesmom, I do think it will be swing voters–in addition to independents–who will carry Romney through. There are lots of Romney Democrats this year.
Well, them and the dudes at Solyndra, Goldman Sachs and their WS buddies, etc.
BEOTCH!
Always liked Kim Khazei..

Btw, I haven’t seen carol haka in a while – she wasn’t affected by Sandy, was she?
She might have been. I know she’s from somewhere in the northeast but I’m not sure what state.
I thought she was from Texas!
If things go as well tomorrow as expected, there is only one tick I want to squish. If I get the opportunity to do that, I’ll be gracious to everyone else. I expect he may be hard to find, though. Ticks are like that.
I can’t wait for this movie: “Mitt Romney: Vampire Hunter.”
With all due respect, but are you fracking kidding me? I’ve been waiting FOUR YEARS for this. Four years of being called stupid, self hating and things I won’t repeat here by the obamatrons because I spoke about “that one” in less than glowing terms. Ok, I called him incompetent, petty, and bougie (both BO and MO).
If anyone is getting “revenge” it’s this Hilary voter. I plan on dealing some MAJOR schadenfreude starting Tuesday night.
I can’t believe after all of this the day of justice has finally arrived. I want it to be clear and decisive, like that first debate, so they are gobsmacked with the truth. He failed, miserably, and he should never have been carried into office in the first place. Vindication.
Word.
I’ve been invited to some total-0 friends home to watch the election returns. Me, and a half dozen Dems who all think they know how I’m voting. They plan to have a bottle of champagne “in case we have anything to celebrate.” I’ll miss being in the moment with all of you, but I’ll be popping that cork with a huge smile, and pouring them each a glass with a “there, there, now, let’s give President Romney a chance….”!
As long as we’re being philosophical, my favorite quote today is, “I’d rather have a mind opened to wonder than one closed by belief.”
Todays Rasmussen poll has R up by 1. Their VA poll has R up by 2. Gallup should be releasing their final poll sometime today.
CNN has them tied….with a D+11 sample.
Is Rasmussen using the percentages from 2008 or have they adjusted to the current numbers?
I know Ras has adjusted but am not sure what the split is. I *think* he said he expects election day to be D+3 but I’m not sure.
They do one round of polling to judge the split. Then they weight their main poll based on that. It’s statistically questionable, but they were very accurate doing that last time.
You realize that there will be all kinds of shenanigans in reporting the voting results. Not sure if I can cope with all the melodrama of waiting for the numbers. Bad enough this summer with our recall election here.
With the time change – it’s now dark around 5PM I should probably go to bed and sleep until morning instead of getting an ulcer watching the ‘news.’
Giuliani tweeted ” Obama doesn’t want a second term. He wants a second chance.”
Don’t give it to him. ( that’s my thought.)
I am going to continue to do what I have done in the past four years with Obama supporters and ignore them to their faces. Obama is a cheat, liar, thief and fraud. Those that support and enable him must be viewed as people who approve of that type of behavior and will probably do it themselves if given the opportunity. Those who claim to not know that this administration has engaged in this behavior are either lazy or stupid or both. I don’t associate with crooks or idiots because I don’t have to and find them a waste of my time. I will be superficially civil when I have to be but that is it. I don’t trust any of them as far as I can throw them. Bless their hearts.
2 thumbs up ! My feelings exactly.
Ditto.
Essentially I agree with you and I am amazed at how so many of my so-called intelligent, progressive friends are not really all that smart about many of the issues. To me, there lies the rub. During the past four years, and maybe even during the past 20 years, we have not had good public participation, community oriented debates or discussions on ANYTHING!!! Everybody just yells and screams at each other. Regardless of who wins this election, that’s the direction we need to head in, guided by real community leaders (not community organizers) who now need to step up. What prompts me to say this is because for every issue…racism, abortion, education, comprehensive energy programs, sexism, mysogeny….whatever…there is a kernal of “correctness” on any given side. Somehow we need to start with that to proceed forward in this country. It has always been my contention that this is up to “leaders”, not politicians….mostly, politicians are not leaders, they are power brokers.It really is time for the leaders in this country to step yp…regardless of who wins this election.
Yep. You’re right, driguana.
Same here. I will bring up issues where Obama has really gone over the edge in policy, or really said something stunningly bad, and they will never, I mean never, have any idea what I’m talking about. As far as I can tell, they are only plugged into the kool-aid circuit of news, filtering out anything negative to Obama. Or they’re not plugged in at all. Either way, they’re very low information voters. What’s really weird is they can be reasonably intelligent otherwise. Just goes to show you, smarts in one area is not an indicator of smarts in any other area.
It’s the triumph of propaganda.
I have 2 leftie friends who told me, point blank, that I was lying about the non-union workers being frozen out. In their world view, it is not possible for anyone on the left to do anything wrong or dishonourable. Both intelligent people, frighteningly obtuse.
Comment of the day!
There are some Obots who support him merely because of his race, and have zero insight into his lack of governance skillset. Bless their hearts. Thankfully, they are not racist because of this failing, just stupid. It embarrasses me they have the right to vote but I suppose that is MY failing.
THIS
HONK
I’ll just be relieved for the end of the Obama era. The best I can do is avert my eyes as the Obots crawl away under rocks. I know they are going to suffer and their suffering has nothing to do with me.
Not to be selfish or anything, but I’d rather an Obot suffer some disappointment than me have to suffer another four years of raising chickens in my backyard and working three part time jobs.
Yep. You’re right, driguana.
Well, I do believe it depends on the environment. On Facebook, where I know everyone who has access to my feed, sure, I’ll be kind and magnanimous. But with those jokers who will be pushing “stolen election” theories and shouting “America’s racist” at the WaPo and other assorted online conglomerates, I intend to be ruthless as hell.
Ruthless with a smile.
Knock, knock. Time to open the doors.
I said I would un-ban you on “election day”.
Go away and come back tomorrow.
To be fair, ABG has probably been voting every day for the past week.
The tick is here. lol
So if he gets a dose of Frontline will he go away?
More golf, more vacations, more speechifying. More snark. And revenge against I’m not sure what.
It feels like a monday. I’m going back to bed.
Aw, Bill Clinton just called me. “Pennsylvania has always been good to me.”
Yup, just hold on one more day, Bill, you are soon to be rescued from this hostage situation.
Also, strangely, AZ governor Jan Brewer called.
Can’t wait until Wed when nobody robocalls anymore.
I responded w/ MT
lololol
Clinton robo-called me today to vote for Elizabeth Warren to keep Scott Brown from stopping Obama’s agenda. If I was sure Romney is going to win tomorrow, I’d vote for Warren to get more women in the senate. As it is, I don’t dare risk it. Who do you want to be elected more, Bill? Warren or Obama? Because I’m not willing to give you both.
Pelosi and the House dems were claiming that they would take back the House. Now, they’ve accepted that that ain’t gonna happen. Max, they have a net gain of 5 seats, and as an outside chance, its possible for the GOP to have a net gain of 1 or 2 seats. In an election year where O has an outside chance of winning, and the Senate will rest with the dems, this is pathetic. The DCCC outraised the NRCC, yet no traction. Nancy, its time for you to step down and retire. Don’t allow the young guns in your party to throw you out.
I’m embarrassed for her at this point.
You are a nicer person than I am. I want her to retire and go away. She is a disaster.
Never to be heard from again.
Last week in SF during the World Series Parade speeches. They announced Nancy P and she was BOOED. In San Francisco they BOOED her !!!
I had great hopes for House Speaker Pelosi when she first became Speaker. I guess I did not know her very well. She should have been fired when Democrats lost the House in 2010. She definitely should be fired on Wednesday.
djmm
I wish she had been impeached when she said ” Impeachment is off the table.”
Check out the pix from Mitt’s rally in FL this morning
http://romneyresponse.tumblr.com/post/35058731150/a-morning-rally-for-real-change-in-florida-these
In case anyone thought Ryan was the only hunk on the ticket
yikes!
Dang.
Well, well, well.
Cripes, that is some serious clone-tosterone.
mmmmm…mmmmm…mmmmmm
You guys are definitely positive thinkers. I’m pretty convinced Obama will have a second term, much. as. I. hate. the. thought. Two reasons, the polls and the fact that incumbancy tends to help — a lot. But it’s fun coming over here and basking in the notion that something else is going to happen…if only for a little while
*incumbency.
Today’s polls put Romney back on top. If it’s the polls you’re using to make that judgement.
LOL, ooops, we got us a real live Eeyore! Cheer up now, whatever will be will be and all will be well.
CNN’s headline all morning has the race a “dead heat.” I’m guessing that roughly translates to “Romney’s farther ahead than we want to report.”
When msm says the race is a “dead heat’ it means that Obama is dead meat.
Dead heat like a few other polls with D+8 to D+11 samples. They’re working hard for their guy. But their slip is showing.
That CNN “Dead Heat” is a D+11 poll.
I agree.
@RasmussenPoll
National Daily Tracking: #Romney 49%, #Obama 48%… http://tinyurl.com/preztrack
The nail in the coffin: Here’s the thing. Look at even the lopsided polls showing ties. The average puts Obama around 48%. The James Carville rule is that the number the incumbent gets on the last day of polling is his final number. The challenger gets the rest. That means the election will likely be 52% to 48% with a Romney win. Bank on it.
A new President will be the first time in four years of Obama-economy that many people will be able to have anything “new!”
Have couple of friends who I know are linking directly to OFA internals and planning. They’re sounding very nervous today, and not only because it’s election eve.
Saw a good rally point today….and very true based on their histories…
Romney is running for President to serve
Obama is running for President to be served
Also, Obama says he’s a man of the people and would be spending much more time away from the White House to travel the country. I’m wondering now if this means Michelle will double down on her vacations and parties too ? Scary what a re-election mandate will give them. Absolutely nothing will get done, no jobs bill, Obamacare takes an ugly hold and he could care less about the people. I won, part 2… Ugh.
Romney/Ryan 2012 !
Now the rationalizing “why O lost” stories are starting to surface. Politico says Bronco just wasn’t into it except for the scurrilous attacks on Romney which he seems to get excited about kind of like drone target lists. The rest of running for re-election, meh. If the slobbering Politico is doing this kind of story today, they know he is roadkill.

Wrong fucking link. Correct link: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1112/83306.html?hp=t1_s
The prior erroneous link is one I sent to a friend who is a hospital administrator. It is the sad story of a Harvad PhD in healthcare policy who didn’t know how to pick out her own health plan and chose an HMO that did not cover her brain surgery.
Hey t, I’m a major eeyore myself. Regarding polls, go back to 2004, and take a look at the final Fox poll. They had Kerry up by 2. Bush eventually won by 2.4, so fox (supposedly a hard right leaning network) was offtrack by 4.4 points. Secondly, if the national polls between the incumbent and challenger are a tie, on D-day, the 2% or more undecideds will break for the challenger. And thirdly, Karl Rove is a diabolical but intelligent dude. He predicted an emphatic O victory in 2008 (the EVs were not exactly bang on, but close enough), and unlike many other pubs who predict a Romney landslide, Rove has stated that Romney will get atleast 279 EV’s. Good enough for me.
I can’t caption this .. laughing too hard …
ohmg, the comments.
I just had the most depressed phone call asking me what kind of America I was voting for. I said, “the America that is full of optimism and opportunity!” She hesitated and than said, “oh so you’re not voting for Democrats this year?” LOL! No honey, bless your heart, but I’ve already voted.
LOLOLOLOL They know they stand for doom, gloom, hardship, and revenge.
New thread up. Lay your bets!
CAIR has requested the Broward County Florida School Board to provide two days off for public school students due to Islamic holy days. Christmas vacation is winter break and Easter vacation is spring break. Some Jewish holy days are teacher work days, but there is no religious holy day vacation days or even recognition. The muslim students can take these two days off without affecting their absences but still want official holy days off in the Broward County Public Schools calendar. Am I missing something here?
http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2012-11-01/news/fl-muslim-holiday-meeting-20121101_1_muslim-holidays-religious-holidays-muslim-families
Where is the message to the one’s supporters to NOT attack those of us who chose the better person? Gracious in victory AND defeat?
Well after ’08 they’ve failed on the first part so I’m not holding my breath counting on them following the second part!
