Ahhh crap I hate losing these things. Oh well, now he can clean up his own mess. Buy gold my friends because this is going to get worse before it gets better. I must say that I am impressed with his victory, I despise his policies and I ma glad we kept it (R) closer to home. But man this is going to be a rough ride unless somebody really changes.

Great idea but I doubt that some of the writers are capable of that.

Where's the fun it that!?

"Reaganite," he still has to finish clening up after Bush/Cheney/Reagan.

DID YOU KNOW......before British Petroleum had begun to seal the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, Obama mandated they set aside $200 MILLION, towards costs. The commercials you've seen to lure tourists back, he also mandated!

The Exxon "Valdez" disaster off Alaska, 'til BP, the largest oil spill, NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED if Reagan hadn't cut back the state-of-the-art monitoring station their. Underwater shawls & narrow passageways make shipping extremely dificult for tankers.

Despite BEGGING for the Coast Guard Commandant, Reagan cut the station from 9 to 5 men, per shift. It was really Reagan, NOT EXXON, that caused that. Remember thousands swarming to Alaska, to try to save her wildlife, washing off little ducklings as they fought in a sea of oil for their lives.

I knew we'd find some apologist who was still blaming everything on W. But this guy is blaming stuff on REAGAN! And the Valdez! The reasons for the spill were many, but absolutely NO experts blame it on the want for a monitoring station. That would have been merely a mitigating factor... you're essentially blaming a car accident on the lack of seat belts.

good comment! :)

When the President uses the word rvenge in the voting process it is hard to respect him as a presidential person. He is not basicly a nice person. He is mean spirited and insulting to anyone he thinks is beneath him. That is basicly everyone in his mind.How so manner like" If you have a small business you didn't build it . Some one else did it for you. " While these business owners put their heart, soul and money building their businesses he tries to take away their spirit. He is a nasty man. Why do people like him? I had a wonderful husband who was always so suportive in compimenting people for their hard work in acomlishing everything they did and everyone loved him. i'm no used to anyone insulting people who have worked hard to achieve somethin. Is this our new era of downgrading people to be popular? What has happened to our country divided by hate and insults and name calling by the president and Speaker of the House calliong Romney a murdere. Have we lost ouir dignity and decency to win and become poular. What kind of children are we going to have if these are the role models/ How disd we sink so low? It is Obama NO Care

Thanks Kara, I am sick of the need to be rude, vile and caustic just because one does not agree with your views...

there iss only one main reason that Obama won and that is the mainstream media.
they protect his everymood from the public and nothing nagative is allowed to get out. The lies are overlooke because they keep slipping through and are never challenged Th e only reason he loses votes is the people who get the truth on fox news or use their own common sense each time he lies. The intelligent people notice that everything he accused Romney of he was guilty of. Until we form some kind of organization to expose main stream media for covering up for him or demand they tell all the news he will run the sinking ship. Any other reasdons he won are small potatos compare to histeflon coating and the lack of individual resposibility on behalf of the voters to recognize the truth . This is the worst politician in history for lying outside of Clinton who is no match for Obama. D'Elayne Coleman

Hi Sandy.
I saw you want to change your name since there is another Sandy that you don't want to be confused for. You can change your name yourself. While logged into the site, in the upper right of the page is your name with a down arrow. Hover over your name and four selection appear. Click on "Profile". Then, on the left of the new window, click "Edit Profile". Here you can change your name. I hope this helps.

Nobody is listening

@ Randy, thank you so much for the information. XOXOXOXO's Sandy.. ( the liberal) lol

D'Elayne Coleman--I miss the days before the Internet when people like you simply yelled at the television, soiled themselves and passed out.

Yes, however, easier said than done. Nonetheless, the 'higher road.'

Hope I have a job next year at this time; I hope I don't lose my house; I hope my kids (college grads) find meaningful jobs.

hope is not a plan, clown. words like that only appeal to emotional liberals.

there will be no hope only change for the worse and since he has been the most devive President in history no equality. we all love each other until he got in with his evil ways of pitting one against the othert. "If you own a small business , you didn't build it , someone else did it for you" Sweet Obama said this didn't he and you like this man. Ding the smae thin g over the got bad results is called insanity. You'd better call Dr. Krauthmmer to help you.

AWESOME!!! FOUR MORE YEARS!!!! Congratulations to all of us!!!! Our only hope is that the bigotry, vitreol and hatred spewed through many of these posts will dissipate!! It is now time for everyone to work togather for the common good of all our citizens! Remember....it was the Republicans who VOWED to make Barack Obama a 1 term president and they have made that their legacy the past 4 years at the expense of moving this country forward!!

Tony, I really hope you have a job next year, too. However, if you try hard and do your best work, you shouldn't have to worry about being laid off. Companies don't usually lay off their top employees. I also hope your kids find meaningful jobs. If they don't, they should have picked different majors. This financial crisis has been happening for years, so if they picked majors with poor job outlooks, it's their own fault. They should have known better and planned accordingly.

Peter, I'm not a clown or an emotional liberal.

D'Elayne, there is hope for the future. Obama is not an evil man and isn't trying to turn the country against itself. The country has always been divided on certain issues. When I said equality, I was not talking about the economy or business. I was referring to equality for women and the LGBT community. I'm straight, but I hope for a future where you can be with the one you love regardless of his/her sex. I also long for a future where a woman can decide what happens to her body. No one else should be able to make that decision for her. Based on your name, I'm assuming you're female. I honestly don't know how women voted for Romney. I guess you just don't care about the fate of our sex. One last thing, why would I ever listen to Dr. Krauthammer, especially since he works for Fox News?

How 'bout if we start demanding more & more, that our political parties (and beloved statesmen & politicians), REALLY work together, and promise we'll accept such efforts, even when it hurts???

then explain to me what "Hope" means to you. To me, i can hope for anything and everything, but without a realistic plan, nothing happens. You voted for Santa Clause.

Yesterday. BO sounded like a Republican, claiming that he would work to bring both sides of the isle together. Personally I don't believe that a leopard can change its spots. So I think in the end we have to resign ourselves that nothing will get done, and we probably will be watching the middle east go up in flames. But what the heck, the people have spoken. 51% of Americans have no pride, they have aligned themselves with abortionists and homosexuals. The rest of us don't matter.

Equality unless you make too much money... or smoke... or want to choose your own health care... or choose to own and carry firearms...

"51% of Americans have no pride, they have aligned themselves with abortionists and homosexuals. The rest of us don't matter." Can someone please tell me what the problem with supporting abortions or gay rights is? Please give me a valid argument against them that does not involve religion. And no, Tony, since you’re a guy, your opinion on abortions really shouldn’t matter. Getting an abortion is a WOMAN’s choice, not a man’s. Let me ask you a hypothetical question: if your daughter or wife was brutally raped and ended up getting pregnant, would you force her to have the baby, knowing that every day for the rest of her life she would be reminded of the great trauma she endured? If so, why?

Stephen, smoking inequality? If you smoke and get cancer or emphysema, it’s your own damn fault, so don’t start complaining about equality for smokers. I have no sympathy for you.

didn't you forget Dr. Jill!!!!

Now come on Sandy, Bob makes a great point!

SHE WAS GONNA GET ON IT ANYWAY. DON'T BLAME OBAMA.

problem is that 25% of people in this country want free stuff and 25% more want to give it to them

@ other SANDY if you need welfare, go for it. I hope you can get it. It's not an easy task for most most people who truly need it. OBama won, get over it.

Why not marry another woman while you're at it? Have an abortion or two. The republican concept of the average democrat as a lazy moocher is amusing. Yet you admire old white guys who were born incredibly wealthy and raped the banking industry. Poor people are not the ones who got us on the brink of financial ruin. It was the bluebloodsuckers.

Do that - sign up, & get rid of all money blocking it.(Give it to storm victims). Then, see how YOU like it!!!

No sandy get a job, Welfare should be for those who really needs it

Just join the rest of them. It's how the world go and no different from the previous years you were living.

If that's true Sandy then you need to thank the system and Obama. I don't mind paying taxes and helping those in need. I know your being cynical, but never less - it's okay because the system is there for that very reason - helping those in need.

Sandy: Newsflash. I happen to be a gainfully employed Democrat who wholeheartedly supported President Obama's reelection. I have an excellent job and collect a large paycheck, and I pay taxes. So, why don't you quit it with your rude comments insinuating that the supporters of the President are all a bunch of losers. Oh, that's right--your guy can't be bothered with the "47%." Why don't you grow up and be an adult and accept that this is how society operates.

welfare and food stamps are used to buy votes. sorry, it has nothing to do with compassion. compassion would be helping people get themselves into a better situation, not enslaving them thru social programs where they have no chance of bettering their life.

Take a look at DC and how the voting percentage was; Obama 91% Romney 7%; enough said

you can always sit on the beach in Hawaii with this beachboy or play a golf game with him in one of his 160 golf games while the country goes to pieces . He takes credit for the auto industry while he takes away their pensions and gives the money to union workewrs for their pensions. He excuses the union members from premiums for "OBAMA CARE" and charges other people fines if they don't take the insurance. He doesn't know anything about fairness. It is all his way or the highway. He is a Muslim dictatror who runs down America when he talks to the Muslims. He doesn't even like America. He says he wnts to redistribute the wealth ,change capitalizm and doesn't believe in the Costitution. Is this called Communism/ Or Socialism . How far will he go now tha he has four more years.country. Does anyone really listen to him in his own words. Are all of his supporters tone deaf?

So, think it'll snow soon? Gettin' cold.

How 'bout those Eagles?

Enjoy your summer? Go anywhere special???

Dito Earnest - I'm so happy the President will remain in office for the next 4 years.

That movie is just a form of propaganda.

Just keep your tin foil Hat securely on that tiny head of yours, Mary.

The funny thing is I'll bet $50 Mary is a lower middle class person living in a row home with limited income that would have been HURT by Romney's policies but she is so brainwashed and scared of "coloreds" that she voted against her own interest. Lucky for her the majority knows better and made the correct choice.

You mention $10 gas which tells me you don't travel out of the country much. We have cheap gas compared to many countries so stop whining please.

what are you going to do if we get to 2016 and all this stuff never happens?

are you going to just forget about these statements?

Kinda like how President Obama was going to take your guns in 2008?

Do you still have your guns?

Mary, that was nothing more than a propaganda film that has been completely debunked. Further, when you call people names like "stupid" etc. please take time to take a careful look at your hand as you point that finger, as while you point one at others, there are three pointing back at you.... food for thought.

Joe dont give mary any ideas. Obviously she is mentally disturbed.

Even the man who made that movie says it's not a documentary. He had to or he'd be charged with libel. Mary, look down. Now Google information about the making of that film. Learn something. Oh, and by the way, ET wasn't a real extraterrestrial and 'no one' is two words. But you are right about people being stupid, unfortunately...

The directors plans, or the producers???

I guess you didn't see the movie about 9/11 and how Bush knew about it the whole time too right? But then I guess it doesn't matter to you about that because Bush was your guy, right? Talk about stupid.

It sounds like a bunch of whinners hanging out with a bunch of WINNERS. Team Obama 4 more yrs. D'ELAYNE COLEMAN, Mary Kushner, nothing and I mean nothing you said makes any sense. This country has been down graded since Ronald Reagan, this is when the Republican Party started their shift from the Center. There is no way Obama in 4 yrs messed this country up, farther more he really kept the Bush policies. If you only get your information from FOX NEWS, and thoses talking yahoo's, you will never get the truth. More than half the stuff the talk about was design to try and hurt Obama. They teamed up with a guy who's not even an American only to CON_FUSE people like you who can't read. Judging from all of your Posted Comments, you must be as confusing as your thoughts that you submitted.

You must be from Philly. You can't spell properly!

I was laughing because I turned Fox News on to see how they would spin this win to President Obama and it was so bad this morning. They were working hard overnight to come up with a few outlandish ideas. Poor Fox News and I feel sorry for people that watch it as their main news channel, because it's really sad reporting styles.

each time you write "Faux News" it gets funnier and wittier. that is so clever. i can't believe how clever and sharp you are. it's amazing.

You are entitled to live how you want and don't let nobody stop you. Everybody else do it so why can't you.

He's not destroying the middle class because the middle class voted him back in. Maybe you are just lazy and need to get out and search like everybody else. More people than you are applying for the same job so just because you didn't get it doesn't mean its no jobs out there. Check careerbuilder there's plenty.

Wow, you're really promoting your conspiracy theory film. Do you fall for cinematic propaganda easily? You must not have seen any of the "documentaries" on the world ending in December or you would be less concerned about who the President is.

Mr. B, lol, wow we are definitely living in the last days but the world will be over when the man upstairs is ready. It's not going to be in Decembem just as when we hit the millineum nothing happened.

Hey, Nostradamus, since you can see the future so clearly can I get some stock tips?

Seriously, that movie cannot be considered objective. Do some fact checking and read. Try to take to in the whole picture. You don't need to live in fear.

Mary you will eat your words, but by then I'm sure you will not remember them anymore.

I'm going to say something that may get me in hot water, THE HELL WITH THE SOCALLED MIDDLE EAST. That was loud and I said it. Why in gods name do we really spend that much time concerning ourselves about only the Far Top Section of AFRICA. What about the whole Continent, where there is a many of people hurting because of fammine, hunger over population diseases of all kind, Gennocide. America and the Europeans has Raped and Pilfered the Riches of that land and supported everything I spoke about above. When are we really going to get the USA back on track. My answer is, get out of those Churches which dosen't support free thinking(all of them) go to a place where you can get a book on how the World was brainwashed. Everything the church support is only backed up from the bible which to this date is a book of beliefs that has been passed down for generations. The Bible just like Faux New needs to be question. Be a Free Thinker, have you own thoughts not those that was cast upon you while you are sleeping WAKE UP NOW PEOPLE

Why just people in philly? People getting free stuff everywhere robbing other people and taking things that's not theirs.

Because Roy is a racist!

New York City residents received 3 days worth of public transit for free after Sandy. They should have had to pay! No handouts!

who would vote against Santa Claus?

Roy, "People Down in Philly. it dosen't make sense. You better get to stepping, go get your hand outs. Nothing is ever free, not even the air you breath. you pay with your life just by breathing this pollution.

Your husband just doesn't want to pay for his employee's insurance. Get real he wanted out because he's saving and wants them to pick up Obamacare.

As long as your husband continues to cover their insurance, as he is doing right now, then nothing will change for his employees. Obama's health insurance program offers insurance to those who do not already have it at an affordable price. If you thinking you are getting the truth from Fox news...then you are misguided. You have to do your own indpenednet research to find the truth.

Mary, I'm having a hard time believing that your husband owns a business, because of your comment on his employees and double premiums. Clearly, you have no idea what you are talking about, because if he already has an insurance program nothing changes. If he did tell employees they had to pay "double" then he has decided that he doesn't want to insure his own employees. If that is the case then he is not a very good employer. Apparently, you have also failed to read what real economic professionals have said about the "Obamacare" with respect to the projected financial positives for our country.

Further, no one is talking about raising taxes on the financially wealthy. The fact is that those tax cuts (the Bush tax cuts) were and are temporary. Technically, that is not raising taxes and never should have been viewed as permanent.

You really need to turn off hate radio and learn that just because Fox puts the word news behind the word Fox doesn't actually mean they are reporting real news. Most of the time they are making up opinions on one show and then self reporting their opinions as "news".... that is not real news.

People are not only stupid , they are not listening to him when he is telling you who he really is. When he was newly elected in his own words, he said "This not a Christian country This is a Muslim country" !0 or twlve years ago I was in south Phoenix looking for an ethnic food and I saw this store ,all muslims. They had signs all over the plac saying There is no America anymore it is a Muslim country
, we own it. I pretended to be interested and on there side and asked them "How have you accomplished this? They said "It was easy , they allow everyone in to do as they please. We have cells all over the country and people welcome us and allow us to do what ever we want. The people don't care about protecting their country. . Now is the final act. Obama is a Muslim. He runs down America to the Muslim countries. He apologizes for us that we have not acted properly or words to that effect. He stood by and allowed 4 americans to be murdered and did nothing to help them. He didn't wear his wedding ring for all the weeks of Romadon when the Muslims wear no jewelry. When confronted he Said "My wedding ring is being repaired. ' For seven weeks and he is President? These are the silly lying replies he gives when cpnfronted about anything. Now the Muslims with their cells all over here have their leader in place. We need Nietzsche . "God is Indeed dead" Half of the people are like The people in Germany when Hitler lead them down a primrose path.

Oh, Dorothycoleman! Thank you for the BEST laugh of the day! My God, woman, did you ever think about going back to school to LEARN anything??? LOL!!!

Mary I know that you're Krushed because Obama has 4 more years. The Repubicans spent Obama'a first four yrs fighting him on every issue. Nothing got done, not from lack of trying on the Presidents part. SCOTUS some members were openly critical(which was a first for any president) Joe Walsh said he Lied in a State of the Union Address which also was a first for anyone to openly challenge the president. Do you know that in some other countries it called Treason to do such a thing to your Elected and Slected Leader, It show a sign of total Disrespect for the Office of the Presidency. And I cannot leave out, the Minority Leader of the Senate on day one stated "our major goal is to make B O a one term president. Anyway you see what the American People said on 11/06/2012. FREE YOUR MIND AND YOUR AZZ WILL FOLLOW!!!! Turn off Faux News and read a Book. You probably hate Santa Claus cause he/she may give something away to someone who in need of.

By "people" you mean "the blacks", right? Racist.

Why are these racist referring to philly when there are other areas with the same amount of crime going on. Ugh

The last I checked there were more than just blacks living in Philadelphia. Ed since your first thought was of blacks maybe you are the racist.

Poor Mary. After reading your posts I honestly feel sorry for you. Your world must be a sad place and full of gloom. It's time for a change of attitude. I'm not talking politics here - just in general you seem very unhappy in life as a whole. It will get better.

Mary, who are these people in Philly you keep talking about? You do realize that President Obama won the entire state of Pennsylvania.

Such blatant bigotry, Mary!! Shame on you!!

Mary--wrap your head around this truth--it's going to blow your mind. In states where abortions have been legal they're finding that 15 to 20 years later there's a significant drop in crime. Want to guess why? I'll wait.

Mary you need help, have you kids 302 you. They have a bed awaiting you at building 50.

Bill OReiley likes Obama

Wallst
Four more years of what? Lying . cheating, Avoided his breifings by 60%, 160 golf games. Allowing four Americans to be murdered by avoiding their pleadings for help.
Where is your sense of right and wrong:;because you are an ideologue?. You deserve everything you are going to get with this do nothing, lying man in the White House. I hate to even call such a characterless human being a man. The main stream Media protects him from the public. They never ask him a direct quetion and even if he does answer they cover it up like Steve Craft of CBS. He lies to your face and even has two videos on Rev. Wright that are directly different in his relationships with him. One is before election and one is after his election . Both designed to manipulate the peoples support. Are you so stupid you ignore the lies you could hear in his own words. If he killed with a gun in his hand yuo'd blame it on someone else. You have many ignorant people out there who are just as rigid and ignorant as you. Dictators control their subjects .. Sometiomes they insult you with " If you have a small business ,you didn't build it. Someone else did it" or we will build a wonderful country together whie he tries to destroy religion Hitler talked like Obama and fooled them in the end. He is like all Narcissistic dictator Psychopaths. He has 100 pictures of himself in the Whitehouse which he rotates. constantly. Do you know Narcissim is a mental illness?.
incognito D

Well stated.

THIS.

Well said. The problem was/is...that that was how Romney also ran his businesses...

Right you are JB! However, I'm pretty sure that a lot of folks couldn't figure out which Romney was really running for President. The extremely conservative or the moderate. Then when he as a self proclaimed champion of business tripled down on the massive lie about Jeep, which could have been very damaging to that auto manufacturing company, had they not taken him to the woodshed on that lie as well as all the papers and fact checkers.

Clearly, authenticity, facts, the true American spirit of raising ourselves up, building and investing in our own country, and embracing equality, freedom, and liberty for all Americans won the day.

He has done nothing to help except play 1160 games of golf and fail to attend 60% of his presidential breifings as President. He is a beachboy who ignores his responsibilities and allowed 4 men to be murdered when they pleaded for help and he stood and watched the murders and aloowed anave seal to gety killed while recuein g 35 men . The seal' father said he woulsn't look him in the eye at the funeral and when he shookl his hand it was like a dead fish.
, Wake up to this lying phony He will tell two stories in on e sentence and never answer a dirct sentence . The media protects him from anything negative. The media is resposible for his election by hiding his lies and terrible actions ..

The rich and greedy trashed the economy. The financiers and the bankers. I love that Donald Trump cried for a revolution. He would be the first pig to be pantsed, shaved and hung from a tree!

4 more years Go Team Obama 4 more years!!!

Me too!!

Thousands of Americans died and we were marched into a 10 year long war on false pretenses under the last republican president, and you people sit idle. But one little mess up in Libya and we have people screaming for impeachment. Ridiculous.

I remember all of the anti-war protests by you people during the Bush administration. Where are you know. Riduclous.

One little mess up - tell that to the families of the four that were killed. Classless comment.

"You people". That's the root of the problem right there. You should of been out there protesting to, you dumb blind sheep.

You, sir, are just as blind if not more so. You also do not know what groupd of "You People" I belong to. Dumb and blind you are sir.

Speculators on Libya are politicizing a horrific event. This is serious and the CIA is involved. Those that published information for political purposes put more peoples lives in danger and may very well have damaged the trust of those who provide information.

It is time for Congress to do the job of governing and not playing party politics. The people have spoken and we have elected a President and his agenda.

Because he's the President, it ends at his feet. But do you really think that this man is responsible for what happened. This is no Watergate not even close. Sad fact, what happen in Libya can happen again. Get the hell out of their business and worry about the United States of America. They're so many threats from around the World, our people are in harms way. Let those people over there Govern their own Country. Should our Military continue to be the Worlds Police. Rebuild America Now!!!

overturn Citizens United....get the money out of politics!!

President Obama got LESS votes than McCain did in 2008.....What does that SAY???

Anonymous, that he's the PRESIDENT FOR 4 MORE YEARS...DUH

I don't know, what does it say, Anonymous? Keep in mind that not all the votes are in yet and the totals are still growing.

"President Obama got LESS votes than McCain did in 2008.....What does that SAY???"
That's not true...McCain got 59,934,814 votes in 2008....Obama has over 60 million and they are still counting votes adding to that total,

I agree. Nate Silver has done some pretty amazing work!

Ok school teacher give me a B cause I forgot the E. Are you serious, breaking down the spelling too?

The USA, where I can get a $100 fine for NOT wearing my seatbelt..but if I decide that I want to stop the beating heart of an innocent child for no reason at all...I can legally go to Planned parenthood, get a legal abortion paid for by you good tax payers..and mom and dad are NOT allowed to know. Great country!! Yes, later I will regret it & be depressed & angry but then I will not be fit to work & will sign up for welfare since then I can always still work under the table and make sure that I get the free cell phone too! Seriously people....the fact that God has allowed this is similar to the fact that God also allowed Hitler, Stalin, Fidel Castro.....just because someone is elected does not exactly mean that all is well between that country and God. I will be praying for ALL in office who are pro-abortion to change their mind. My hope is not in a leader, but in God. The fact is though that even Jesus went into the temple and started knocking over tables and yelling. So here is the thing....sometimes it is appropriate to be angy at what is going on. The BLOOD of those innocent children is on ALL of you who voted for any politician who outright tells you they are PRO-abortion. You have told the young people of our country that killing innocent babies is moral...that is why it is legal. If it was wrong they know that it would be illegal. It is not "hate" when you are not agreeing. God cannot bless the death of babies. God created marriage between a man & a woman. Period.

To Anonymous, Planned Parenthood does not preform abortions. Must be a clueless old man. LOL

@anonymous When you think, what do you hear? Is it like a gorilla chewing bark on a tree? Bees? Does it actually hurt? And if you really believe what you're saying, nut up and use your name.

I agree 100% anopenmind!

Amen.

Well said, anopenmind. Incidentally, love your screen name.

WELL SAID !!! WELL SAID !!!!!!!! THANK YOU !!

that is the most intelligent thing I have read on this entire thread. There was no hatred expressed and there were no misspellings either so congrats on your clear headed thinking and your proofreading skills.

Agreed.

I second that. So what does it mean for the people by the people. When are we going to realize, real lies affect real lives? When we as a people get our head together and stop allowing the NEWS NETWORK tell us what they think and start thinking for ourselve, we're always going to be a Weak country. Fact Check Everything even the Bible. Take nothing as face value.

Jack didn't go far, he posted this last night: http://patch.com/B-c7gl

Also, Richard H., I understand that you appreciate a good play on names, but please refrain from calling people lewd names in the comments. Even when thinly veiled, that is against the Patch terms of use.

God does NOT bless abortion. God allowed Hitler, Stalin & Fidel Castro to name a few. God is judging us by allowing this. This is a judgment....how do I know?
The LEGAL killing of the unborn. The LEGAL union of 2 of the same kind. The Bible calls this an abomination. Look up the word abomination. Yes we hate the sin and love the sinner....I love people and pray for them... but do not say Jesus would EVER EVER want someone in office who thinks that it is legal and moral to kill the unborn OR have same sex unions. Please pray about this because even though there are repubs that you personally do not like....please do not think in ANY way shape or form that Jesus could want this. It is a judgement on the USA.

God is the oinly one who can judge, remember that. You have to answer to him come judgement day. That's why Jesus died for our sins.

@Anonymous Yea, harp on the abortion thing. I guess it's ok to kill brown skinned babies overseas in current ( and future if romney would of won ) wars, but goddamn, we gotta save the unborn white babies.

I feel the same way. Romney just seemed to come from another world. Born into a super wealthy elite bubble and lived within it his whole life. I never got the feeling he could ever understand the American middle class let alone the poor. You can't care for something that you have no concept of.

Obama was the lesser of 2 bad choices.

Romney's wife suggested and encouraged him to run. It wasn't his idea. Now that Repulicans can focus on something else besides 'making sure Obama is a one term President' I hope things get accomplished, too. Please remember--during the last four years Republicans fought him every step of the way--even on ideas and policies that originated in their own party!

Scott,
I too would have been happy with McCain, but having Sarah Palin one heartbeat away from becoming president scared the hell out of me and other long term (50 year) Republicans

In what terms do you speak of his first term being a disappointment? You have a Senator openly say "our main job is to make obama a one term president" At that point the American people shoud've asked for his resignation. The Sen. job is to work for the American People, not the Republican Pary only. The House of Rep's and the Senate, and the president fail us. So it was a disappointme in terms of no one was willing to do the people work and Govern the USA. Let's' hope someone is really the adult in the room and get things done.

I agree with you. We need a return to civility.

Political civility won't be possible in the near future. We have backed ourselves into a corner.

Agreed! I love that Atkin and Mourdock both got the boot. Taliban idiots.

Lifelong,
why is it murder when you kill someone after they are born but freedom of choice before they are born? The actions are both choices, with the same result - ending a life. How about teaching your daughters not to create a life if they are not willing to honor that life? I bet you are glad your mother didn't have an abortion.
I bet we all are glad our mothers didn't abort us because it wasn't convenient at the time

Ahhh..."Bob" is pretty anonymous.

I find it interesting that you use my comment, one that advocates people protesting against a senseless war, over ones that are pretty much almost blatantly racist, as an example of intolerance in this thread. No bias there...

Ed, now you see why I am agressive with these right wing nuts. I know many don't always agree with my methods but I refuse to be an "Al Gore Democrat" who takes slander, lies, and racism without fighting back! We put these scum in their place last night.

If nothing else it seems we at least purged these boards of Jack "Off" Minster and his half dozen other fake names.

Have a nice day!

Exactly Rich. They worship the likes of Karl Rove, but whine when somebody points out their own bias and hatred...Doesn't compute. Cognitive dissonance is strong with the right wingers.

I may some times come off as a jerk here but in actually I am a pretty nice guy. I just don't suffer fools lightly and refuse to allow right wing nuts to get away with slander, lies, and racism. I fight fire with fire and the right wing nuts hate me for it.

Peace.

I cannot believe the hatred being spewed by these so called christian conservatives

Our military got Osama, would have happend no matter who was president. As for saving the car industry if you call giving other peoples money to bad companys to keep them afloat then ya i guess he saved them they have been and continue to lose money you just cant keep throwing good money after bad and expect the next generation to pay the bill

Who ordered the cross-border raid into an "allied" nation, Ron? Just asking.

MrBlue: you might breath the same air I breath but I owe you nothing. You are a taker and have been since pap-pap washed up on Ellis Island looking for goodies. The Golden Goose quits and the Huddled Masses can fend for themselves. Hint: you'll do an even worse job than your true people back in the Old Country. It's in your blood. Take take take like a mafia thug.

Game on.

Hey Gimme, I assume from your post you are a Native American?

Hey Abraham, is that like "Indian"?

You go live in the Stone Age. My people inhabited land they abandoned -- and they purchased the rest. But you wouldn't know that from your "Gimme gimme gimme I'm here so you owe me" crap.

Very well said

And you lost. Now what? Will you support our TWICE duely elected President in addressing our nations issues or whill you continue with the hate?

Kathleen, is it possible that people who voted for Obama also voted based on the issues?
I am an independent who leans toward Republican. I didn't vote for Obama in 2008, I didn't vote for Romney in 2012 because I did not agree with his plan, or the recent path the Republican party has taken. It had nothing to do with Obama phones, I pay for my own phone, gas because I know a sitting President has no impact on gas prices, mortgages because I just refinanced my mortgae to a 15 year loan knocking off 20 years, nor skin color as I am a white male. Thanks for generalizing about a group of people though.

Obama is my president I shall not want. He leadeth me beside the cool iPhone. He maketh me to lie down with man and take it the backway. Lo, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Sunshine I will fear no exposure. Thy wrath and thy revenge they comfort me.

Writing off all Obama supporters as degenerates who want to collect government benefits hardly makes me able to take you or your right-wing talking points seriously.

It would actually make more sense to me if you voted for him based on his skin color since Romney had no ideas or policies. In the first debate he altered all his stances and by the third one he was simply agreeing with Obama. I honestly believe he thought just getting himself elected would boost the economy.

Those phones were in play before Obama too office

By less tax payers, you do also refer to corporations and millionaires who use loopholes and offshore tax havens to pay even less tax than either you or I do, right?

I voted for him last time but not this time because I don't want to end up like Greece or worse. His economic policies will make the national debt go further into the stratsophere. You can't tell me that skin color didn't play a role in his re election since his first four years were deplorable. It is not hate, it is reality. Plain and simple. Just like Mike Vick, a sociopathic dog killer gets supported and gets to own another dog even after he used his prior pets as bait. I am not afraid to speak the truth.

Then pack your stuff and GET OUT of the US! Move some place "better" with no taxes.

Seriously, get on board or get the funk out!

Funny, coming from a member of the Wretched Refuse. My people have been here 400 years -- since Plymouth Rock. Yours washed up onto Ellis Island and have been looking for free stuff ever since.

Hahahahaha - the laugh's on you. WE QUIT. FEND FOR YOURSELF, HUDDLED MASSES. YOU HAVE YOUR OBAMA, NOW LET'S SEE HOW YOU DO. (Given your thuggish natures, I can tell you but you won't believe me. It'll be fun watching you turn America into Mexico or Sicily or whatever you're doing to my beloved, ancient land.)

Gimme Some - Thanks for displaying your racism. As Jack "Off" Minster would say, "you are the Republican Electorate".

Keep up the "good" work.

Racism? Who the hell cares? Racism is a Soviet Communist hang up used to justify the destruction of their constituent races, all forced together under the same jackboot.

Why don't you abort yourself and purge the Gene Pool for us like a good little Red Diaper Baby?

You forgot the word 'brains' in your user name.

@Kathleen Reidy, you're mixing apple with grapes. If someone tells me that they vote because of skin color, i have no problem with that, my concerns should be free to vote how I chose and not on what anyone think I should. As far as Michael Vick and the dogs issue, he paid for his crime. But where the hell were you when they was putting the dogs on Civil rights workers just for protesting, some were black and white, so don't get on your high minde azz and talk trash about what only you read in the Newspapesr or heard on the damn News Networks. you speaking the truth only comes from you own limited knowelege. free your mind and you behind will get there soon

Actually without having to worry about re-election, I think Obama will be much more aggressive during his second term. This is why right wing nuts every where are so depressed.

Let's channel Richard H:

Gimme gimme gimme, stfu, gimme gimme gimme, stfu, gimme gimme gimme stfu or I'll break your nose.

Is that about right, Richard?

"Mungo like Obama. He look like real man to Mungo!"

Gimme Some - Thanks for displaying your racism. As Jack "Off" Minster would say, "you are the Republican Electorate".

Keep up the "good" work.

Hey Richard H: Why should I despise my own kind when you do such a good job of it?

By the way: how are your people doing in the world so far? I note you use my English language on a computer invented by my Anglo-American brethren spending money with pictures of my American cousins on the front of it.

Blah blah blah. Huddled Masses and Wretched Refuse is the same no matter whose shores they wash upon.

Enjoy Sicily on the Atlantic or Mexamerica or whatever it is you greedy lazy sobs are trying to defraud from us.

Oh wow Gimme Some you take the award for the biggest loser in the posts. I'm sure even Romney would not be happy to call you a supporter!

@ Carol, You call him the great divider, it just dosen't stick. I think the divide came in when the Senator said their main focus was to make him a one term President. Now talking about division, he should have said Mr president congratz I'm willing to work with you to do the peoples work. get real

So college kids, seniors, etc cant vote. This is America. And who paid for Bush to land on an aircraft carrier and go to Texas every other week. It is time to stop the bickering and come together as one nation. The whining has to stop, the name calling, the labels.

Yeah Bush never had any parties or went anywhere....sigh!

No wonder your party lost AGAIN!

See? We told you not to close the State Hospital!

(Just a joke. I very much feel for mentally & emotionally disturbed-that's NOT a joke).

Clueless, forgetful, Clinton left with a Surplus, and in no time Bush stripped it. Two wars that was left for Obama to pay for economy free falling. Your party has failed the Country since Reagan the king of the Deregulation, Crack flooding this country Oliver North the socall real american hero. Look what your party has done since the last good republican was in office IKE. NOTHING they did NOTHING but obstructionist leading. Free your Mind and you Ass will catch up soon.

I love it spoken well

Funny thing about homosexuals, infanticidal "mothers" and "immigrants": they are all about "me". Nothing is to get in the way of their good times. Even better, they expect us to fund it and protect them from themselves at the same time.

Guess what? The gigue is up, metro-sexual multiculti losers. You are on your own and I doubt the USA will survie to the end of O'Dumob's second term before the Chicoms invoke the T&Cs of their loans to us and take ownership of their collateral.

Kathy, do you know how silly you sound? The "Obama phones" is a MYTH spread around by Republicans. Thats OLD and has been debunked a thousand times. And Greece? Provide us with just ONE respectable economist that believes what you do. And when it comes to spending, the republican party holds the purse strings...the President can't spend a dime. I'll be waiting for your answers...

Translation of "Gimme Some"'s comment, for all those wondering:

"Heil Hitler, I cannot wait until we purify this country and remove all the undesirable homosexuals, immigrants, and disabled and return our country to its rightful White ownership."

...That's pretty much what he's getting at with those ridiculous comments of his..

This was the most expensive election on record. Question: How many real jobs were created.

She's not too bright. you sound just like romney the third debate he agreed with everthing the president said. you see what happend. four more yrs

How did the economy get cleaned up???

Just to be sure DPB. By TAXPAYERS you mean Republicans, and by 'takers" you mean Democrats? If so, there is no point in attempting to have an intelligent conversation with you.
You speak of all the rich Hollywood supports of Obama, but what about all of Romney's rich supporters? You think they wouldn't be looking for favors?

please co,pare that to the 300,000,000 that was dropped for the GOP...

DPB fact checker your taxes has not gone up since Obama took office it was highr when clinton was in office and he left a surplus. get your facts correct or just do some research. free your mind and your ass will follow

I am very pleased you are one of the many that do not depend on the charity & selflessness of others. Peace.

Your arguments are so outlandish, childish, and devoid of facts it's not even worth debating with you. I actually feel sorry for you. You are one angry little woman.

I would like to see you cite one single source from a reputable economist saying that soon we will be "10 times worse" than Greece. Because really you're just making up B.S.

Yes because the US economy is just like Greece (a nation smaller than must of our states).....sigh!

These brainwashed haters would be funny if their sheer stupidity wasn't so pathetic!

Richy, I'm just starting to feel sad for them. So overwhelmed by their own cognitive dissonance and manipulated by the party leaders. A lot of otherwise good americans are just so warped right now.

Kathleen, I don't see how that's true. There are a lot of reasons Greece is in the financial mess it's in right now .. and none of them are the result of policies you think President Obama is in favor of. Greece wasted billions on unnecessary weapons, public sector employees are way overpaid for little work, the cost to fund the Olympics was astronomical and hasn't been recouped plus tax evasion is a way of life for the wealthy. And, that's just the beginning. It was a mistake to include Greece in the EU and all of that good money given as bailouts has been blown now, too. Where's the Obama parallel?

you spend too much time thinking about Greece, what the hell are you doing about it except crying. free your mind and your ass will follow

Hopefully we'll be ousting them from the House in 2014.

wrong year idiot

@Peter Morgan was referring to the next mid-term elections--2014. I'm sorry you're so mad that your plastic candidate didn't win. Next time elect one who has ideas and policies that might work. And an actual human being would be a great start. The truth is none of you liked Romney until you thought he was your best chance. The guy you wanted in the primaries was saying all kinds of terrible and true things about Romney.

Jennifer, i wasn't talking about Morgan, genius. the original comment specifies 2016. i realize this person is trying to refer to the next time there is an election for congress, but this person does not know enough about the political process to realize that it is in two years, not four. He's apparently just like the people i overheard in line at the polling location questioning, "what does incumbent mean?" I can guess, with a very high level of confidence, which candidate those people voted for.

That's right DPB we do not need to continue to subsidize multi-billion dollar corporations with tax payer money a.k.a. "subsidies". - We do not need to continue to give tax breaks to companies who have moved their manufacturing to foreign countries... Tax breaks should only go to those that are setting up manufacturing companies in the United States of America. - We need to close all loopholes that allow companies etc. to legally dodge paying their taxes like the rest of us patriotic Americans and anyone that stashes money in the Caymans etc. need to be given a one month grace period to move their money back to the States, before they are fined for every month that they continue to un-patriotically stash their money outside of the United States of America.

Wasteful spending like sending our monies to support other Countries Like England(the Queen) Isreal Pakistan Greece and many more countries, just to name a few. We cannot continue to be the Worlds Policeman, and making policies for them. This is the real argument your tax dollars is leaving this country and supporting others while our cities and state suffers

of course you spend a lot of time "perusing"...you obviously don't work.

Education my dear Ike - education. Lucky for you Obama will help you with a student loan.

who's being divisive? who's creating a class war? who's telling people to vote to "get revenge"?

Man, the 'get revenge' line was, in context, about NOT being divisive. I suppose you could choose to take it out of context, like the 'you didn't build that' farce earlier this year, but that's up to you.

you're hilarious. no wonder he won, the liberals finally succeeded in dumb-ing down the electorate.

Peter, in context, Obama mentions Romney in a stump speech. The audience begins booing when they hear his name, and Obama says "No, no, no, Don't boo. Vote. Vote. Voting is the best revenge." And returns to his speech

If you aren't seeing that clearly as 'Stop, don't be petty about this. If you want to make a point, do it with your ballot,' I don't know what to tell you. This just one of hundreds of out-of-context talking points that the conservative pundits have tried to leverage into something over the campaign season, and it speaks volumes about the intellectual resilience of this country that this sort of tactic has failed yet again.

i'm still waiting for the part where you tell what what the correct context is. the quote you displayed is exactly how i remember hearing it. he suggested people vote to get revenge...not for the betterment of the country, not to help other people...to get revenge. he didn't say "don't be petty about this". he said "revenge". oh, boy, i see it now...he's using revenge to bring people together!

Uh, clearly the 'No no no, don't boo' part? You could level divisiveness at the people booing at the rally, sure, but Obama was mitigating that response in the 'living well is the best revenge' sense. I mean, obviously.

Oh Kathleen, I have been investing in the stock market for some time now and that's not going to be the normal in the next 4 years. Honestly, the doom and gloom is just too much!

Sorry Kathleen, but being an investor I can honestly say that you are wrong in your assumption. The markets were reacting to what is going on in Europe. As for those like Lockheed Martin... they are reacting to the fact that with Romney out of the picture it is less likely that the United States will be attacking Iran like the Neo-Conservatives have been salivating to do.

Them rich Bi&@hes took their money out cause the lost

Exactly - it's like sale prices. Go buy some good companies and you will be better off financially in the long run.

True

VMH one thought I had on that was it helps stimulate the economy though. Isn't that a good thing? If your an educated voter the more money a candidate spends is not going to be what changes your mind. It will be the facts. I know where you are coming from, but I think there is also an upside.

VMH has a good idea. To take it one step further I would propose using tax dollars to fund the campaigns as well. Now that may not be the best idea, but it would eliminate candidates getting money from corporations who will then ask for favors.
My 2 Cents, any boom to the economy due to the election is a short term boom, and doesn't help in the long run. It only benefits a small portion of the workforce as well. With the lower limit on spending the candidates may actually spend the money to tell the voters what they are going to do to make a change instead of the often misleading ads you see these days, like taking a quote completely out of the context it was stated in to bash the other side.

The problem, of course, is that you end up asking the people who depend on the system to pass laws to end it. When office holders depend on PACs, SuperPACs and billionaires to keep their seats, they're just not going to turn their backs on these sugar daddies and shut down the money machine.

Now, can voters change that? Sure. But you have to vote these guys of office. And by reelecting candidates like Gerlach, Fitzpatrick, and Meehan to Congress, and somebody like Mike Vereb to the State House, you just perpetuate this. (Want some interesting reading? Take a look at Vereb's financial disclosure form - he is like a special-interest ATM.)

Do you want to get rid of this campaign money monster? Offer a two-part pledge to every single candidate: 1) I will not accept any campaign contributions other than those that are allowed by law from individuals, and I will not endorse any advertising on my behalf by any outside PAC or organization; and 2) If elected, I will sponsor and vote for any bill that limits campaign finances in this way.

That just might work. But it would take a massive bipartisan effort, and we all know how that plays out.

and what exactly did they say you freaking idiot?

The number of women in the U.S. without a job has increased more than 15 percent since President Barack Obama took office, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

But I have my free birth control and abortions! Hip Hip Hooray!

It's great that we can all have our own opinions about who can be or who is currently the president of the United States. The Republican Party which once was a powerful and secure political force is nothing more than a party for "Angry Old Men". Listen to Hannity, Limbaugh, or Fox News....they are really pathetic and angry! The Republican Party needs a "facelift" and a new attitude. They just come across too mean spirited. Best of luch President Obama!

pathetic and angry? Obama came off as bitter, arrogant, and annoyed.

Ignore TP. Except when it's time to wipe.

Hey TP--aka JF--who's bitter and angry now?!

I can't imagine any fact-based voter finds the price of gas remotely relevant to their decision, much less doubts that the Recession was tied directly to the Bush administration's policies. It's easy to dismiss your political opponents as blind followers or truth-ignorers, but this election, more than any of my lifetime, demonstrated the ability of Information Age voters to see right through phony 'scandals' and easily fact check intentionally misleading figures and claims.

Over two million americans behind bars, at a cost per inmate, per year, higher than a college education. Only the federal government can make that happen. The war on drugs is a complete failure.

I voted for Gary Johnson, some of the same views. I knew he would not win but I was so undecided going to vote with my infant son. A thought, hopefully by the time he can vote there will be more than two parties with a fighting chance. I felt good about my vote did not win or lose but felt like I made a statement with my vote.

Ah, now I have a very good answer for that. The prison industrial complex is a growth industry. More prisoners, more privatization, more profit! That's the dirty little secret nobody wants to talk about. We hear lip service about being tough on crime and how much it costs to keep an American behind bars, but the private prison industry has a large, well funded and powerful lobby. Even the phone calls coming out of the county jails now are handled through a private company and cost double what a collect call from any regular phone provider would.

I know a lot of people think that the free market is the answer to everything and that the more things are privatized the more efficiently they will be run, but when it comes to our penal system that has not turned out to be the case. There is less oversight, they are often more costly to operate with lesser quality food and services than a state run facility and they operate sweatshops. That's unfair competition when they can pay an inmate between 23 cents and a dollar fifteen cents an hour. The war on drugs delivers Unicor (Unicor is operating on a Federal level and has preferential status with the Pentgon, but this happens at the state level too) and others of their ilk a steady slave workforce.

The debt discussion by the "one party" candidates, was conspicuous by it's absence, while our debt grows at a rate of 5 billion a day, every day. As long as "the majority" puts up with it, so shall it remain.
"Hell, let's order the lobster honey, the kids are buying"

I have not done enough research, and probally wont but my guess would be that if you would take away the votes from the three largest cities in every state Romney would have won by a landslide. If this were true what does it mean. the mid west and south and rural and most suberban areas voted for romney but Obama won by getting votes from the big cities on the east and west coast . if you look at the ohio map area wise the map was 95 % republican a little corner in the northeast was blue. Do residents of big cities now control the path America takes

Interesting analysis ron, but if you look at some of the totals for the counties, it is only 30k or less people voting. Heck Potter County only had about 6k people vote, compared to 600k in Philadelphia. Chester county is interesting as about 232k people voted, and the percentages were 49.8 Romney, 49.1 Obama. Pretty darn close. Montgomery County was more for Obama as well. 56.5 to 42.4.
I totally agree with your hope that Congress works with Obama. I am an independent who tends to lean conservative, but the refusal to compromise, from both sides is the major problem facing this countries ability to get back on track.

Vice versa - you've been a pleasure to read and interact with! I'm a huge believer in the value of bipartisan checks and balances, and welcome counterpoints and new interpretations of real issues. Hopefully with the election behind us, the real across-the-aisles discussion can make some real headway and improve this country for people of all political persuasions.

I did google it. You're spreading lies and misinformation

http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/cellphone.asp

"The Lifeline program originated in 1984, during the administration of Ronald Reagan; it was expanded in 1996, during the administration of Bill Clinton; and its first cellular provider service (SafeLink Wireless) was launched by TracFone in 2008, during the administration of George W. Bush. All of these milestones were passed prior to the advent of the Obama administration"

Stop listening to Rush Limbaugh and look this stuff up yourself. Obviously you're just regurgitating talking points because this is the first result if you google it. Idiot.

Sam - This is a spinoff of the lifeline program originated in 1984, under Ronald Reagan, It was expanded in 1996 under Clinton, and the first cell phone coverage under this program occurred in 2008 under George Bush. It isn't funded by taxpayers but by a universal service fee on your phone bills.
It's amazing what information you can find out by a simple google search.

but they named it "obamaphone". they associate the name "obama" with a free phone and give them out to people who may not be the sharpest tool in the shed. yes, it was started a long time ago but use it as a tool to promote obama.

Here is more info on TracFone and the Lifeline program: http://money.cnn.com/2012/10/26/technology/mobile/tracfone-free-phones/index.html?iid=obinsite

Sam Smith, your moniker should be little wooden head as your nose is growing.... Stop telling lies.

Her vast ignorance has no bearing on anything, though, and repeating it ad nauseam doesn't make it any more accurate. The mobile phones in question are from the SafeLink Wireless program, which was a 2008 Bush initiative updating Reagan's low-income subsidy landline program which is funded not by taxdollars, but through telephones companies working with the Universal Service Administrative Company. They are designed for emergency purposes and with very limited functionality.

Sam, shall I find you some YouTube videos of goofy and/or crazy right wingers?

Why are the news stations so mean? I'm sure everyone would love to hear your wondrous predictions.

You'd think the world's greatest psychic would have seen it coming that no one would have put you on the air.

Hey James any stock tips? If you make me a millionare ill let the news stations know.

Let us hear your comments the day after your husband, brother, aunt, or mother runs afoul of NDAA or the obama kill list.

Shame? You are a fool that doesn't understand anything about the economy or our deficit debacle that is coming.
You are right in the Obama and Democrat wheelhouse.... a not very bright woman who votes with emotions and has a few cats.

The GOP is rightfully earned in Catch 22 situation. It cannot survive intact unless it changes its policies and positions, and it cannot survive intact if it does. That of course has historically been the fate of political groups that are uncompromisingly dogmatic. Want proof? It is the southern democratic party of the 40s, 50s, and 60s that would not open its doors to African Americans. It morphed into the a part of the republican party. But today's republican party has no chance to morph into the big tent of the democratic party that grows every year. Today's republican party is a dinosaur. It has to make a dramatic adaptation or die.

No, the GOP will be called upon to save the country when Democrats spend us into a situation like Greece. Forced austeristy imposed by the countries who will no longer loan us money because they think we will become insolvent. When they happens, all the payoffs to the lazy takers in the "big tent" will end... and no Democrat will be able to stop it. In fact, most of the Democratic base will end up living in a "big tent".
The end is coming folks. The big giveaway society of the Democrats, the one that spends $1.3 trillion dollars a year, is going to go down. When people have no food, they'll be less likely to be worried about gay marriage or abortion. Rather, they'll want the destroyed economy fixed.
You're days are numbered Democrats, because you model is NOT SUSTAINABLE without massive deficit spending.... and that only has a few more years to work.
You're the lazy, the stupid, the bums, the non-productive, the takers. It doesn't matter that you are 51% of the people. The free money deficit spending spigot will soon be turned off.

And what would have electing a neocon president done to help matters?

Yeah Abe, I definitely think his silence says a 1000 words.

Reasonable people don't support spending 40% more money than we have. Unreasonable people think that is no problem.

Crushed? Listen numb nutz, Republicans still control the house. Your boy will get nothing done. Crushed? He won by like 1.5%, by appealing to the laziest and lest productive people in the country.... people like you. The stupid have spoken. Now they get nothing.

Face it. Your party is in trouble. You guys have to make big changes to stay competitive. The electorate is changing and you cannot count on using the white male vote to lead you to victory.

I don't know about you, but Hollywood had nothing to do with "dicktate"-ing my decision. And in four years who knows what tune we'll be singing because we have no idea who will be running for either side. But my guess is that a social issue like abortion will not be a big topic because that's exactly the sort of thing that is making certain members of the GOP unelectable.

Luckily your type are dieing out. This election just proved it. This country is moving forward socially.

Ms. Reidy, No one sees abortion as an alternative to birth control. Quite frankly no one is in favor of abortion. However, we are in favor of the freedom, liberty, freedom of religion as well as freedom from religion. We are also in favor of the privacy of families, and women and their doctors. Further, in the United States of America we believe that women's bodies like mens should never be nationalized. Once women's bodies become a ward of the state what other laws will be placed on their reproduction capabilities?

Right we object to our tax dollars being used to fund attacks on nations without just cause. We object to our tax dollars "subsidizing" multi-billion dollar corporations that financially reward the CEO's and the board members rather than those that do the hard work and get their nails dirty for their profits. We are tired of the District of Columbia having Zero representation and voice in what goes on in our country, but expect them to live under the rules that everyone else dictates. - Shall I go on?

But you have representation, as intended, by your local democratically-elected officials. 'Representation' doesn't mean you get to pick where your taxes go. Maybe you should read up a bit more on the Revolutionary War before invoking it?

DPB,

I reply to your comment about a "having another cilvil war" in the future due I'd like to point out that America has been engaged in a long standing civil war since the dawn of the industrial era and the end of the actual Civil War. That war was fought over the right of African Americans to vote, ride in any seat on bus, use a restroom, etc. It also was fought to end child labor, get women the right to vote, and obtain the right to collectively bargain. On Tuesday we ad the most recent battle. The winners protected the middle and lower income class. The losers took a hit in the armor of those in the the upper income class that act as if they are special and need to be protected from the less fortunate who they see as grifters, takers, users, lazy, and so on. This ongoing civil war will continue for years to come and until the election demographics of the Nation result in fair treatment of all.

Yeah and like your Confederate heros, you will lose that one too!

Gun control and gun powder control plus many other things helped start the Revolutionary War

Hey Earnest... how do you like all those corporate payoffs to Obama's green energy gang? He has given as much to those chumps in 4 years than big oil gets in 90 years.

And what did all those green energy companies do? Pay CEO's millions, then go bankrupt and lay off the workers. Sounds like Barack Romney, huh? At least the oil subsidies lead to more oil production. The Green Energy money was just flushed down the crapper.

Hey, buy any algae fuel lately? Barry Obama is funding that too.

As to District of Columnbia, if you don't like the rules, move. Free country. At least for now....

Kathleen...there are bigger issues in this country!!

Pro life? Horses? He awakes each day, coffee in hand, to review the "kill list".

So KR, you're against the death penalty...every time, right???

wrong. Source please.

I am so glad the issue of the debt; five billion a day, every day, had such a prominent and compelling role in the discussion and debate process leading up to the elections. We now have a clear understanding of the offical position of "our leaders" in that regard. Thank goodness "the majority" has our backs and knows what to do. Print.

Right on the money. And what's hilarious is the liberals don't understand that very soon, we will have a debt crisis, and then all the play money they give away to millions will dry up. The lazy dependent bums will then riot. Just look at Greece... they are raging against the austerity that their LENDERS are requiring from them. The same will happen to us. There will be nobody left to lend us money, unless we do what THEY say... and that will include cutting the give aways by 50% or more. CONTRATULATIONS DEMOS.... you win the battle... you will lose the war.

Keith, he won't get a damn thing done. He doesn't control the house, and does not have a filabuster proof senate. He will get nothing done. Nothing. Just like the last two years. Sit back and enjoy him making a fool of himself.

So that's what Faux News fed you this morning?

Richard H. Good guess.
Obviously you have no idea who he is. Look him up.

And there are lots of videos out there of democraps acting like racists or showing their incredible stupidity. So they're all stupid? Well..... ya, I guess really they are.

Post one Crestor. Post a sing one.

There's this thing called YouTube. Go do a search on "racist democrats". You'll find a whole lot more than one. I'm not going to do the work for you... even though as a democrat, you probably don't work.

The vast majority of blacks and hispanics are racists as well... only difference is, when they are racists, the democrats accept that as OK.

such a sore loser.

Sour grapes. Things won't get passed because extremist right wing politicians have made it a point to block the prez on everything he does for the last 2 years. Even going so far as to saying their goal is to make sure Obama doesn't get re-elected.

And why didn't Romney win? Because of extremist, angry, irrational right wingers like yourself are the vocal minority and scared off the moderates. If you're pissed your guy lost, blame yourself. You wackos running around yelling b.s. about 'the kenyan muslim' just make you and your party look like f'ing IDIOTS. You have only yourself to blame, psycho.

I disagree. He will issue as many executive orders as he can get away with, just like his de facto "Dream Act" through regulation. It won't stop until we remove him from office for these violations, plus "Fast and Furious" and the Benghazi fiasco.

If thats true we all lose

We'll just have to see, huh?
My guess is that the GOP is already running scared, they will posture, fuss and rant but in he end...they will compromise because they have no choice,
They are fihting a losing battle since this election proved they are on their way to becoming a permanent minority party unless they reform their xenophobic, racist and exclusionary policies and rhetoric...(if you don't think they are running scared, take a look at the Karl Rove video from election night, he made a fool of himself trying to pretend Mitt Romney still had a chance...and you are being foolish if you don't understand your hard line positions as stated here are ruining your parties chances to remain relevant!)
They won't be stupid enough to screw up and mess with America's credit rating again (that one stupid move cost the US billions but the GOP House tea party idiots tried to ignore the consequences until the country had a fit and they backed down!).
So I think you'll see more compromise on the sequestration issue than you think!!

Anybody who think Obama is 'extreme left wing' has no idea what the left wing actually is. By any political philosophical measure, Obama is significantly center-right, and moved further right during his first term.

You obviously don't know what socialism means. (hint: don't use fox news as a source)

Kathy, then take yoru cats, get a passport and GET THE FUNK OUT of our great nation! Racist scum like you who do nothing but complain and try to stop progress are killing this nation. If you thing we are headed towards Greece (sigh) and it is so bad here under Obama and a Democratic lead Senate....GET OUT! Otherwise start becoming part of the sloution or stop wasting our air and resources and kill yourself.

Peace...

That's the sign of a person with no rational response: call their opponent a racist. Kathleen is female, so maybe Richard's a misogynist for disagreeing with her!

Wow Richard H how sad and pathetic telling someone to kill themselves and its not the first time you have done it. I pitty you.

You got it!

Yep.

DPB, yes it is possible, and in fact, it's true. Look at the population of some of the states that make large contributions to the red on your map:

Alaska 722,718
Idaho 1,584,985
Montana 998,199
Nebraska 1,842,641
North Dakota 683,932
South Dakota 824,082
Wyoming 568,158

The city of Philadelphia has a population of more than 1.5 million. Now, go look up the populations of NY, LA, Chicago, San Diego, Jacksonville.

DPB, we elect presidents based on the population (people that is) of states, not square mileage.

Thank god for the constitution. But wait, I thought righties loved the constitution?

its true. Check my earlyer messages even most states Obama won where mostly colored red. Obama won by appealing to the wants and needs of people living in big cities. There where states Obama won by 5% or more that would have went to Romney just by taking away the votes from the two bigest cities in the state

If the GOP is going to win an election, they are going to have to stop taking direction from their corporate billionaire spac sponsors and produce candidates that are moderate. I think if Romney was allowed to be who he is, he would have done better. The GOP cooked their own goose.

Co2, all of the billionaires had a financial reason to want Obama out. What they did is harness the energy of the Tea Bag Faction of the R party for their own financial gain. Now this maybe dishonest, but not necessarily stupid. What is stupid is being duped by these billionaires to vote against yours, and your children better interests. They played you, all you teabaggers out there; an you are better of having lost.

Still mourning Akin's loss I see.

And what the hell does Mike Vick have to do with the election?

Joe Walsh from the Eagles is alive and well

And Joe Walsh the congressman has lost his bid. I can see that you're not too educated like all Tea Party memebers, huh, Austin?

Barely.

The DJI drop of the past two days had much more to do with Europe than the election. The DJI dropped 5% on the day after Obama was elected in 2008 - and then more than doubled between March 2009 and now. Just saying...

im sure your ancestors are proud of you for voting for someone who hates jews and israel

KDUFI: Just keep bashing yourself into irrelevance with your spewing hate. Keep making sure the GOP brand belongs to narrow-minded, fact-impaired people. That will serve you well as the 2014 midterm elections approach. Keep reminding people the GOP is the party of angry old white men.

And by the way -- I'm not Jewish. Not every name ending in "Stein" is Jewish. I'm sure that's a shocker to people who blindly believe in sweeping stereotypes.

Take a drive through Willistown Township and look at all the multi-million-dollar homes with Obama lawn signs. These are homes owned by successful entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, engineers, inventors -- all supporting the President.

That should burst your little bubble of belief that only "moochers" support Obama.

Good for you Kara.....I go off and get a bit out of line from time to time but some people take it too far and have to go. Make sure you delete his IP address, not just account name as this troll will just create another account otherwise.

Tom Sunnergren would do well to look at banning a few people from the Phoenixville Patch as well. I'm all for free speech and can give and take name calling and such but this "IKE" character that posts here is way over the top and adds NOTHING to the conversation. Get rid of him too already.

I think I love you.

Thank you for taking care of that.

Dick , why is it that you can dish it out but whens omeone is sick of your name calling and tells you off , you dont like it ?? You started attacking me , now iam iam not going to take it . You should be ban then if thats how its going to be . Plus you really dont add any th the conversation.Stop attacking me and i ll do the same

true but the popular vote didn't win the election, but leave it to the GOP they're coming up with a plan to change that, until it goes against them

Ayn Rand believer - DRINK!

Hopefully anyone who's ever considered 'going Galt' will do it and clear the way for less myopically-inclined businessmen to fill the void they leave. The future of entrepreneurial action in this country lies in creating a healthy, empowered workforce who circulate currency through all strata of the market - Rand's short-term profit-maximizing unregulated free market philosophies are the root of today's economic struggles, not the solution. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Atlas.

Let's all remember, DPB believes we should elect the president based on square mileage. DPB posted this earlier:

Nonsense. Look at the voting on the precinct map. It is almost all red. Yet Obama wins??? Is it possible more people live in the few places that are blue than in all those red places?

That's a JOKE am I correct?

Concerned, the only people facing tax increases will be those earning more than $250K. It's time they paid their fair share.

Concerned, as someone from the other side of the aisle, I pretty much agree with your assessment and predictions. Without an election to win, I believe we'll see very little "we versus them" from Obama and he learned his lesson about "we won" comments.

This is now a great opportunity for Boehner. I see him as key. With the long list of tea party losses on Tuesday, Cantor will be less of a factor. Hopefully McConnell will come around. If Reed and Pelosi don't get greedy, maybe something real will get done.

Look, Obama is now concerned about going down in history as a great president. He wants to be more than just the first African-American president. To do so, he needs to accomplish great things - finish the recovery from the second greatest economic crisis in history, reduce the debt and deficits, social security, immigration reform, etc.

Boehner can be Obama's Gingrich (hopefully without the nastiness). Obama knows we have to seriously attack the deficit issue. Boehner can end up with a lot of the credit if he plays it right.

Actually, I think Boehner and the GOP are going to have to cooperate in large part. If they don't, they will end up with most of the blame for failure. Something that a party in crisis and in need of retooling can't afford.

I love most of your comment, I just want to point out that Social programs isn't killing this government. Sending most of our hard earn monies to other countries and getting absolutly nothing for it. We still pay taxes to the Queen that shiggity has to stop, Isreal gets monies from us that has to stop and so do other countries. We need to take care of America First.

Kathleen you are a whack job, some people say the same about the Jewish people. Where do you get the "Black Protectioism" crap. They weren't protected from slavery and now has to deal with mental slavery. Genocide , Racial Profiling Black on Black crime must be a Myth to you. Black Protectionism? What about White Privilege? Simply because one may be of the Majority? Get re-educated so that you can have a decent argument or conversation that's not rapped up with racial overtone. Row, Sink or Swim, we're in this shiggity together like it or not. I know you're going to say< I'm not racist, just your thoughts.

Kathleen, I am having a hard time determining whether your post was blatantly rascist, or about your abiding love of dogs.

So what about the precentage of the american populus that didn't vote for him, were they White? See it goes both ways, you dont sound too bright. Wether it was the mayflower that went to the carolina and eastern shore or ellis island we're in this shiggity together Row, sink or swim we all have to do our part.

No reason for the productive sector to pay taxes so democrats can dole it out and get elected. I say BS. I think I am going to take it easy for the next four years and join the 47%. In fact lets set a goal of making it 57% instead of just a puny 47%.

If anyone would like to pay less in taxes, may I suggest simply having less of the money?

First of all you need to do some fact checking. You should research where you hard earn dollars is really going, it ain't to the poor and needy. More like to the rich and greedy, and to other countries just to name a few. Isreal France Greece Pakistan India The Queen and the Pope gets some of our monies. Go back to the Clinton years. Everybody had a little more then.

you said what i was tryna put together in my head. Very well said thanks.

Hey Jim, are you going to put out another 47% video like Mitt?

You don't pay property taxes?

Jim Aspen crybaby troll.

No one is losing freedom. Debt has been a growing problem for decades. I agree that we need to fix it, but it's going to continue being a problem regardless of who is president because it's the American lifestyle. If we start ending unnecessary wars, we'd save a lot of money and valuable lives. We're not headed for communism. A bit of socialism wouldn't be terrible. Just to add on to my comment...what are we accomplishing by discussing all of this on here? If you want something to be done, start a petition for a small change, send it to the local government, then the state, and finally to the president if it's successful. Let's face it, no government officials are reading these comments, so we're not solving anything by arguing on here.

You tea party psychos are hilarious. You can't name a single "freedom" we are losing. And I bet you cannot even explain a. the difference between socialism and communism and b. why you think we are "headed" towards communism. Please give and cite specific verifiable sources.

"The short- sighted mind set of "what can the government do for me" has to stop."
I couldn't agree more - it's time for the wealthiest members of our nation to return to a 90s-level taxation rate so we can fund the long-term rehabilitation of our economy. They are simply going to have to stop being so dependent on government tax breaks.

wealthy people have to stop being dependent on government tax breaks...i feel like i'm taking crazy pills that someone can formulate that in their head...wealthy people dependent on tax breaks. the government is dependent upon successful people to have enough revenue to operate, never mind buy votes behind the veil of "compassion". This administration feels it's appropriate to attack those successful people.

look, never mind all that. if i thought that tax increases would actually be used to correct the problem we have, i would be for it. but it won't! all that tax increases will do is allow the politicians to expand programs, make federal government bigger, less efficient, and more wasteful. what have you seen of the federal government that gives you confidence that they can right the problem? nobody in DC cares about doing what's right...it's all about how to gain more power (on both sides of the aisle, though the amplitude is much higher in liberals). If you think that the government would appropriately use additional revenue gained by increased taxes, then i don't know what to tell you. that's the irreconcilable difference between us. I see nothing that shows me that they wouldn't just waste the money.

"the government is dependent upon successful people to have enough revenue to operate"?
Is it? I'm pretty sure they'd make about the same tax revenue by spreading the tax burden to a broader portion of a slightly wealthier populace. A slightly wealthier populace that has the extra income to afford things made in the US, eat at local restaurants, and shop at niche startups? Economic recovery, and meaningful job growth, starts at the community level, not the corporate level. Our national economy has always been at its strongest when our income inequality was at its lowest.

The Government don't buy votes, the people running for office in the government does. and you still have not named one freedom your going to lose not one
