"Well fuck." |
After Ohio went for Mr. Obama, it was over, but senior advisers say no one could process it.
"We went into the evening confident we had a good path to victory," said one senior adviser. "I don't think there was one person who saw this coming."
They just couldn't believe they had been so wrong. And maybe they weren't: There was Karl Rove on Fox saying Ohio wasn't settled, so campaign aides decided to wait. They didn't want to have to withdraw their concession, like Al Gore did in 2000, and they thought maybe the suburbs of Columbus and Cincinnati, which hadn't been reported, could make a difference.
But then came Colorado for the president and Florida also was looking tougher than anyone had imagined.
"We just felt, 'where's our path?'" said a senior adviser. "There wasn't one."
Romney then said what they knew: it was over.
His personal assistant, Garrett Jackson, called his counterpart on Mr. Obama's staff, Marvin Nicholson. "Is your boss available?" Jackson asked.
Romney was stoic as he talked to the president, an aide said, but his wife Ann cried. Running mate Paul Ryan seemed genuinely shocked, the adviser said. Ryan's wife Janna also was shaken and cried softly.
"There's nothing worse than when you think you're going to win, and you don't," said another adviser. "It was like a sucker punch."
This may sound mean but I would have dearly LOVED to have been a fly on the wall as this campaign learned that all of their viciousness, lies, and attempts to steal this election had failed.
I have said it before, but I will say it again, the ONLY reason to have THAT much confidence in the outcome of an election, that everybody agreed would be close, is if you know the fix is in. But thankfully for the country, the Republicans were not able to seal the deal and steal yet ANOTHER election.
Apparently those within the Romney campaign were not the ONLY ones shocked by Obama's win, here a few of the faces of Republican despair captured on election night.
Whoa, wait a minute.
Why does that lady look so familiar?
Is that..is that Bristol Palin's ghostwriter, and crazy ass celebrity stalker, Nancy French?
Why yes, yes it is.
Aww, she looks very heartbroken. I wonder if it because her candidate lost, or because she just realized that the wheels are coming off of her gravy train?
Is it wrong that seeing these pictures makes my face break out in a huge grin every time?
Nah! After all who deserves to be mocked more than these people?
But perhaps even MORE mock-able are these people. (Warning link goes to Chuck Jrs. Facebook page.)
God it is going to be a GREAT next four years!
P M CARPENTER: About that concession speech ...
ReplyDeleteA disgusted reader sends his paraphrasing of some cable commentators' election-night praise of the loser's concession speech:
"During the campaign, Mitt Romney lied continually, questioned the President’s 'Americanism', was despicably hollow, tried to win based on never saying anything, was utterly secretive and a 100% flip-flopper (showing no discernible core values), and allowed the party’s crazies to say transparently unpatriotic things about Obama ... but oh that concession speech ... wow ... he’s clearly a wonderful wonderful man!"
...
Don't get me wrong. I believe in a generous peace, a la MacArthur versus Japan. But I also believe in enduring abhorrence, as in Eisenhower's 1945 refusal to even attend the surrender ceremony.
He righteously detested the savage losers that much.
Well said. If we don't hold them accountable for their behaviour, as citizens, we give them permission to continue.
DeletePeople said the same thing about McCain's speech.
DeleteClearly, he was a liar before and after; Robme is as well.
Romney's concession speech was horrible. He genuinely thanks his benefactors and supporters, but gives only lip service to the President, then flees the stage. I don't see how the TV commentators could call it "the best of the cycle," unless they meant it ironically. bah!
DeleteWhat a delusional clown Chuckles Jr. is, to post that Sarah would have won if she was on the ticket.
ReplyDeleteSarah would have been swamped by the Obama ticket.
But, that would never have happened anyhow, the RNC
KICKED HER TO THE CURB.
The only thing that Sarah can do is to is to insult the president on her facebook and on fox.
DeleteI sooo wish she had been on the ticket to make my joy complete. I can't think of many things more enjoyable than watching yet another Sarah Palin epic fail!
Deleteapparently God didn't want Sarah to run, chuckles,
Deleteor don't you get your SARAHPAC letters?
Holy Cannoli! Her head looks like its been overblown and about to EXPLODE!
DeleteHoly shit!
Meth face, your DONE!
"I have said it before, but I will say it again, the ONLY reason to have THAT much confidence in the outcome of an election, that everybody agreed would be close, is if you know the fix is in. But thankfully for the country, the Republicans were not able to seal the deal and steal yet ANOTHER election."
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY! They were so sure the fix was in!! But for some reason it didn't work.
That's why Rove was so shocked on fucked news!
Romney engineered the Beghazi ordeal and he thought the fix was on, only it wasn't!
And why did he amend his 2011 tax returns after the concession speech?
So glad they weren't able to pull another 2000 and 2004, I also think POTUS was ready for it also, he wouldn't of conceded like John Kerry did.
John Kerry didn't concede - Al Gore did.
DeleteIn short: they were using turnout models from 2004 and failed to anticipate the high turn-out of minorities.
DeleteI suspect they had plans in motion to steal this election, but we swamped them at the polls, thanks to their lies and intolerance, and negated their operations.
DeleteM from MD
What do you mean John Kerry didn't concede?
DeleteI cannot believe that picture of Sarah Palin. She's like a shrunken head troll doll. Her outsides are finally matching her insides.

ReplyDeletegreat White dope...there, fixed it.
DeleteOh come on Nancy and Sarah, why the tears? Now you have four solid years ahead of you to spend heckling the president. If Romney had won, you wouldn't have a target for your hatred.
ReplyDeleteyou wouldn't have a target for your hatred
Delete~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Those nasty, ugly bitches will *always* have a target for their hatred.
I believe you're wrong. She would have constantly been comparing that miserable failure, BHO, to the wonderful, conservative rMoney. (And he {rMoney} still wouldn't give her the time of day!)
DeleteShe has an obsession with BHO, and it ain't going away anytime soon.
From the Huffington Post:
ReplyDeleteA subdued Ann Coulter joined conservative host Laura Ingraham on her radio show on Wednesday to discuss President Barack Obama's reelection.
Towards the end of the segment, Coulter sounded even more somber as she said, "Mitt Romney was the president we needed right now, and I think it is so sad that we are going to be deprived of his brain power, of his skills in turning companies around, turning the Olympics around, his ideas and his kindness for being able to push very conservative ideas on a country that no longer is interested in conservative ideas. It is interested in handouts."
In a moment of sadness, honesty from Ann Coulter, "push very conservative ideas on a country that no longer is interested in conservative ideas."
Though I'm not sure she or Laura actually realize what she said.
"turning the Olympics around" with a big fat boost of federal dollars.
DeleteCoulter still hasn't got the memo about fact checking, I see.
Coulter is not only repugnant, but quite stupid.
DeleteShe is on record saying that if Chris Christie was not the GOP nominee, Romney would be ~ and they would "lose".
Now she's walking it all back and painting some ridiculous picture of Robme. What a loser she is; they all are!
I started to feel bad too, and then I thought - if Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, Carl Rove, FOX NEWS and Victoria Jackson are SAD - then the only choice for SANE people, is JOY.
:)
But Coulter said if they didn't run Christie, they would lose. She should be gloating and saying "I told you so."
DeleteWhen has Mitt ever been kind? The GOP HATES kind. And the man is obviously not very smart, as he surrounded himself with Bush people, who told him to lie, and told him lies. And Ann, no one is looking for handouts. People want JOBS. Idiot.
DeleteIf he is so great at turning companies around and is so wonderful, why doesn't he volunteer his services for failing firms?????
DeleteAnn Coulter? I thought mules couldn't reproduce- apparently I was mistaken.
DeleteWell, looks like Sarah 2016 has about 45 people that have her back...don't think we have to worry ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey are either relatives, or on her SarahPac payroll in some way.
DeleteI see a lot of magical thinking on that fb page. They still don't get it. Sarah Palin will never win another election. America sees her for exactly who she is - a no-nothing, mean-spirited, lying (Trig,Todd the pimp), opportunist. Her bots are free to keep believing whatever they like, but they also must get used to feeling disappointed.
ReplyDeleteCorrect. In 2012, $arah is yesterday's fishwrap, stinking up Fox news.
DeleteIn 2016 she's going to be taking a dirtnap, politically speaking.
"dirtnap"
DeleteLMFAO !!!
I just can't believe the Republicans would ever get behind her for a run in 2016. They aren't that dumb, are they??
ReplyDeleteNo, and she will not ever release any financials, nor give up her PAC, which would come under far different rules if she ever declared. PLUS, she would HAVE to debate and be interviewed..not gonna ever happen. Dream on, 'bots.
DeleteI don't like the first picture, the one of Mitt Romney watching Pres. Obama. The shot of BO is photoshopped in, but I just feel like he would never look smug over winning the election so making a photo like that just seems wrong. He is above that. (And I know you didn't make the picture. I've seen it elsewhere too.)
ReplyDeleteWhere I saw that picture of Pres. Obama was at a campaign office when he was going to the offices and making phone calls. It appears they may have printed it and pasted it on the flatscreen.
DeleteI don't go to 'right' sites so that I've seen it, I can't say it was photoshopped.
OP- I get what you're saying, as the President *IS* super classy and would never mock a losing opponent...
DeleteBut you see,
That is Why it is Amusing...because it *wouldn't* happen in real life, get it? So the picture...is funny...simply because it is amusing, not for historical accuracy.
I just assumed that all the "expanding the map" stuff from the Romney campaign at the end was just faked bravado to keep fooling the GOP rubes so they wouldn't give up and stay home and give President Obama a larger margin of victory (like McCain did). But now learning that they really believed the polls were "skewed" and we're shocked at losing because they refused to believe every public non-partisan poll and poll analyst?!?!? Bwahahahahahaha!!!! I feast on their tears!!! This is just the cherry on top of the Obama victory sundae.
ReplyDeleteMy only sadness is that we didn't get to see Willard's "shell shocked" face when he got the news that there is something he couldn't bully or buy to get his own way, or see Queen Ann's tears when she realized that all those White House drapes she's been measuring will have to be returned. Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!!
But, But...
DeleteIt was their turn!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Adios, Queen Anne - and take Rafalca with you!
Life in the bubble.
DeleteWe told them Fox News lies. Maybe they'll listen to us now?
DeleteIt's a good thing that those expensive ball gowns are returnable-- there are returnable, right, Ann?
DeleteThe GOP rejects science and this year has shown that it rejects arithmetic soon. The next thing that Republicans will want to do is to keep math from being taught in schools.
DeleteBeaglemom
As a grandmother that used to be hell on wheels, but now trying to live a life that benefits everyone..........I want to see these people humiliated and destroyed!!!
ReplyDeleteI do not consider myself to be a vengeful person, but I want retribution for what has been heaped upon our country, and most importantly our first family!
I want a boot on the neck of the movement that supports Sarah Palin, Rove, limpdick, beckerhead, and most of all.....FuckNews.
I am pissed beyond explanation at the fury that they have unleashed in me. I hold them responsible, because I hate haters, and they have turned me into one.
Boy, I concur with you!!!
DeleteI'm with you girlfriend!! You've expressed my feelings and all the reasons why. This was a battle we won but we have to keep up the good fight because they won't back down, they won't learn anything and they're as ignorant and authoritarian as fascists. We are still in danger and have to keep awake and working for the future of our people, all of them!!
DeleteFrom one grandmother to another, right on.
DeleteSad to say, they've brought out my inner Fury as well. Seeing them defeated is not good enough for me either, I want to watch the Wheel of Fortune turn as it does for everyone and give them the Job treatment. As it stands, unless Romney is prosecuted for some fiscal wrong he committed, he has years to look forward to in which he sits in comfort and amassed an even greater fortune at the expense of regular people. Witness how his son Tagg is involved with a charter school company: an operation that turns a public good - schools, into something designed to turn out a profit. Obscene greed at work to our detriment. Greater public scrutiny and resistance to the corporate community's plan is needed.

Your Yardboy/Son
My grandma sentiments exactly. Having seen the difficult lives of my son and his children through the economy that was bequeathed to us by the GOP and having had to put up with the blatant disrespect and racist attitudes towards President Obama and knowing that the Republicans are not going to be any less obstructive now than they have been in the past four years just absolutely infuriates me! (What a long sentence, but it reflects what I feel on the third day after this amazing election.)
DeleteBeaglemom
There is one thing more I am curious about: How long will it be (after Monday) before we see Queen Anne again?How long will it take her bruises to heal? Too many people have seen the Twit's temper.
ReplyDeleteAnd since she is essentially property according to the Mormons....
We'll likely never see her again. I don;t recall seeing her before he ran this time. And I do find it fascinating that she has MS and yet did all this campaigning, the TV spots, the speeches, and never even looked tired. What kind of MS does she have?
DeleteIf she has a relapse, it will be our fault. Winning would have cured her.
Delete"We've given you people all you need know",
DeleteQueen Ann just couldn't let Mitt hand out his tax returns. According to some news reports, she was the one forcing him to run too.
Does anyone else detect the odor of burning martyr, and female dominatrix?
I suspect that she's a spoiled princess used to getting her way.

DeleteOkay, I followed that link, even though you warned me. Wow, the stupid is strong with them. Yes, please, run Palin as the 2016 candidate. It will give us an even larger landslide then, especially if she runs against my dream team of Hillary Clinton/Julian Castro.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Warren could be a contender as well ....
Deletebut first i'm gonna enjoy the present
8)
I've been thinking Clinton/Warren. Ok, fantasizing, not thinking. But, wouldn't that be a kick?!?!?!
DeleteGod, Clinton/Warren would be the Dream Team. My God. My 82 year old mother voted for Obama twice. She was ready to leave this world if Mitt won. Now that we have sanity restored, I bet she'll be around to vote for the women in 2016.and the GOP will STILL be going on about abortion.
DeleteI would SO vote for Clinton/Warren. Over Obama Biden even. Seriously.
DeletePlus, the wailing and teeth gnashing from the right would be pure bonus!
Sarah would never win the primary. The GOP wouldn't spend any money behind her. THEY know that she's mentally ill. They knew it before the rest of the country figured it out.
DeleteThey have known for years that McCain is not exactly sane, either.
DeleteOT: You guys getting that ad for the conservative woman movie? Ya know who's missing...I'll give you a hint -- It rhymes with Farah Falin.
ReplyDelete$390M couldnt beat Obama. What makes Sarah think that she could? I guess Chuck Jr., is trying to get more money for the Sarah Pac.
ReplyDeleteWell now little Missy, and I am speaking to either of the Chucks, it is time to go back into your hole and never do I want to hear your little girly voices again. And, take that wigged turd with you.
Sarah got her fugly gray sweatshirt on Newsweek and said she could beat President Obama.
Delete...Except for the fact that she HAD the opportunity to run and she did not.

Just. like. palin.
"I don't think there was one person who saw this coming."
ReplyDeleteMaybe the guy should have just stopped at "I don't think"
That's frightening. I knew Mitt was arrogant, but deep down, I didn't think he was ignorant. He is.
DeleteI saw the video where Mitt said he had ONLY written a 1118 word victory speech. He had fireworks ordered to be displayed over Boston Harbor. What arrogance.The man is beneath contempt. I hope he and Ann are suffering big time along with his repulsive sons.
DeleteNow that the wars are ending, perhaps those Romney lads can enlist.
DeleteOne would think that at least someone high up in Romney's campaign would have been paying attention to Nate Silver. Also how scary. If Romney and his "team" were so blind to how America felt, how would he ever lead the whole country and how could he have ever conducted foreign affairs?

LMAO over this comment at HUFFPO:
ReplyDeleteluvsox:
Just think of it like this, Mitt. A private equity firm took over your campaign, spent all the investors' money, everyone lost their jobs, and the campaign went bankrupt. What's so bad about that?
Bummer. And, then you got your ass handed to you on a stage, in front of the whole world. Sort of like the stage that your fired everyone in that small company from, basically destroying a town.

DeleteBeaglemom
If looks could kill -- the look on Romney's face -- he shooting poisonous darts.
ReplyDeleteThe lose -- couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
The bullshit being spewed that Obama ran a hateful campaign. It further confirms that the Baggers and the Rethugs are habitual liars who never accept fault -- it's always someone else. They are the party of HATE.
Messages I've posted on blogs and sites today all include the fact that we have to stay engaged -- not sit on the couch and watch from the sidelines as the midterms 2014 pass us by. That would allow like in 2010 Rethugs to take seats in the House & Senate. We have to engage and keep the conversations going with family, friends, students, etc. and remind them what happened in 2010 which brought forth all the Bagger Reps in the House & Senate. We need to engage and Vote in 2014 in order to further change the composition of the House, of the Senate. We have to keep engaged with phone calls and emails to our reps about Bills and issues being put forth and apply pressure to pass or reject them. 2010 should have taught people a lesson and we should not let it happen again.
I actually felt despondent over the 2010 elections, because I knew those choices were going to totally de-rail President Obama's agenda in the next years, and the Republicans (and Introducing the Batshit Insane Tea Partiers!) would do every thing they could to keep our country totally stagnant.
DeleteThey did all of that, and more.
We can. NOT. allow our country to waste another two years on bullshit like these headcases - we need to get to WORK on SOLUTIONS!! Not Distractions!!
Agree with you totally. We must be vigilant and proactive.
DeleteWe must be vigilant and proactive or these next four years will be for naught. I am so sick of the TP obstructionism.
DeleteI agree and hope the the DNC feels the same way. There should never be a repeat of 2010. I understand that the most recent gerrymandering strongly favors the GOP (they are masters at gerrymandering) but that should make Democrats even more vigilant and vocal.
DeleteBeaglemom
You'd think the Romney campaign could produce at least one photo of a grieving supporter that wasn't practically glowing white.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't any?
DeleteDid you see the crowds at the two election night gatherings? Obama - all shades , ages, genders. Romney's looked like someone had done one of those film tricks where they shoot a small group and then clone it to create a crowd. Pale men in gray suits with a few daughters/trophy wives sprinkled in. Everyone the same.
DeleteI know this sounds silly but Obama being elected during my life time, not once but twice, is a big deal for me. I feel like there is something so good going on and its bigger than all of us. I am not expressing myself well I guess. But, I feel we are in the midst of something really good and for the first time, I think, maybe there is a god.
ReplyDeleteI don't think of it at god, I think of it as this.....most people are basically good. They genuinely care for others as much or more than themselves.
DeletePeople understand the role of government. Government is of the people, but most importantly.....for the people.
No, it doesn't sound silly at all. Thank you for your generous heart.
DeleteNo!....not silly at all! It really IS a big deal.
DeleteWell, the Republican party has had me really scared. I reallly was afraid that they were going to win. I couldnt watch the elections. I prayed a lot but felt overwhelmed.
DeleteAnd, yes, Palin is still a cunt!!
Not silly. Even though I had a lot of hope our President would be elected again and donated frequently to his campaign, I was very worried and almost resigned to the idea that the Republicans would find a way to cheat their way to victory. President Obama's victory, especially the fact that he also won the popular vote, makes me feel great about our country.
DeleteMost people in other countries are elated that President Obama won. All the people overseas that Rmoney insulted? They took an instant dislike to the entitled snob, they did not have to tolerate all his lies the way we did. President Obama IS a Rock Star in many places in the world. We are lucky to have him in the WH.
DeleteI am worried about our looming fiscal crisis. Two wars, the stimulus package, increasing oil prices. this is all needing to be paid for. Add the looming disaster in Iran and we are looking at a possible 3rd war in the middle east. Obama has his work cut out for him. Don't even get me started on the Alaska election outcomes. the only good thing? They will have no one to blame but themselves when it goes to shit in a couple of years .
ReplyDeleteLots of things to worry about. But at least for 4 years it won't be a Republican president selecting new supreme court justices.
DeleteYou really should try not to worry so much. Barack's got this.
DeleteYOu didn't get the Iran memo then - sanctions are working.
Delete"They" who? Who is it you are concerned about? Your pronouns and antecedents are a bit confusing.
DeleteFour more years of the adults being in charge - we can solve problems that way.

ReplyDeleteThe really crazy ones have the most firearms. Whatever.
DeleteJust for kicks, I went to French's page to see if there was a melt down. I noticed that Shawn Johnson had Nancy help her write a book. It was obvious that Bristol had issues with Shawn at DWTS. Seems from her web page, Nancy has found a new "Christian teen" to promote.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Nancy's pay checks from $arah's PAC aren't clearing the bank.
Delete(hee hee)
Not to mention, Shawn does not have a passle of kids, numerous "trial husbands" and she has TALENT to spare!!
DeleteActually I prefer Romney's "shell-shocked" reaction to Donald Trump's toddler tirade on twitter.
ReplyDeleteCould this be what Sarah was counting on for Bristol and why she was so mad when she was voting off; looks like Shawn took the gig she was counting on:
ReplyDelete"After her run on "Dancing" ends, Johnson says she's got plenty of other dreams she wants to pursue.
"I'm working on a few things, kind of getting into the next phase and direction of my life," she says. "I want to work in the fitness world and kind of transfer into that for good. Open my own gym. And we're developing a TV show (about) health and fitness, too."

DeleteSARAH PALIN is *ALSO* writing a Fitness book.
Oh, Sarah -- AND family -- that must include Bdull!
So, Bdull could work with her bestie Shawn on fitness videos, etc.
Whattya say, Barstool?
Let's get physical, physical!
Sounds like Bristol got wind of this, told Mama, and that is where the non-existant 'fitness book' idea came from, huh?
DeleteAnd I was on Chuckie's site...those people are out of their minds. Someone said Sarah has more executive experience than the Quitter. really? Anyone trying to talk facts is shouted down.
Hmm, what's the word?
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah,

(And Brancy - your husband is, like, um, "really" attractive...hahahahahaha)
Brancy is not exactly pretty, is she? Not that looks are the measure of a person. They DO come in handy if you are attempting a career in show bix, right Brisles? Oh, that plus another attribute lacking in the Palins - TALENT.Shawn looks FRESH, clean, no plastic surgery. Bristles looks about 35 years old in comparison.
Deletegood heavens, palin looks aged, stressed and really, really unattractive. no more hoochie momma.
ReplyDeleteThe Chuckies must have gotten into the DOPEium.
ReplyDeleteGag me. This woman deserves to weep, a) for running the con with the Palins, 2) for trafficking in lies, 3)for liking liars and being one herself, and 4)for getting that young boy so involved in something beyond his emotional and intellectual grasp, involved enough that he's actually fucking crying too! Way to protect your kid! (assuming that's hers, but if not fuck the parents who did not protect him).
ReplyDeleteThe boy is hers - he looks just like her ugly husband. The blond girl in between them is their daughter.
DeleteHey, BRANCY --
Only AWESOME moms like you and Sarah Palin have strangers all over the world paying attention to your KIDS on Blogs!
You're a sick. fucking. lady.
Leave your poor kids out of your madness.
(Ps - did you get the name of Bdull's plastic surgeon? I think he helped with your "horsey" face. At least you sold out your Christian principles for something important...)
Interesting how her adopted child of color is nowhere to be seen - token much?
DeleteOn Rev Al's show, he mentioned that Willard lost his Secret Service right after the election. I was so happy to hear that as I wrote a comment I guess yesterday on an earlier IM post about his losing his Secret Service detail. Heeee, Heeee!!! I'm sure the Secret Service were glad to be rid of the bastards as they treat people 'under them' with such distain.
ReplyDeleteSaw a very short video yesterday of Willard & His Bitch together with family members leaving the hotel they stayed in. I had hoped they tripped down the stairs but sadly they didn't.
As soon as they mentioned Ohio went to Obama it would of been funny if the Romneys blinked and when they opened their eyes all the Secret Service agents just disappeared into the night.
DeleteSecret Service were trying to decide who got to show Willard the plate of "rancid" butter. Then it was over so quick that they missed their chance!
DeleteWillard's campaign workers found out their credit cards were cancelled when they tried to buy tickets to go home!! THANKS GUYS for all your work, unfortunately since Myth lost, he refuses to spend any more donors money in case they demand some back.
DeleteTheir shock was as simple as being denied...for the first time...something they wanted, that they had the money to buy. And buy it they tried. Even Ann Romney said not long ago that this was the last campaign they were ever going to do. To me that says they just wanted to get into the White House, move all the kids and grandkids in, bask in they adoration they felt they rightly deserved, have their minions do the job for them, and bail in four years. They wanted to be boss of the country and then leave. It's sphincter tightening to realize they actually, truly believe that standards do not apply to them, that there are no ramifications to their actions, that they were sincerely surprised. They're all just a little too closely bred.
ReplyDeleteYup. Just like the McCains. John to finally show up daddy and Cindy to get back at everyone who ever made her feel less than worthy.
DeleteI think the only one who made Cindy feel less than worthy was John McCain. I mean, really, who calls their wife a cunt? Stay classy, John!
DeleteCindy is OK, even bucked the McGimp a few times.
Delete"There's nothing worse than when you think you're going to win, and you don't," said another adviser. "It was like a sucker punch."

Nancy's 'wistful' expression looks incredibly fake.

ReplyDeleteFrom http://bobcesca.com/
There’s being cheap, and then there’s being a dick.
From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only that evening, the massive infrastructure surrounding his campaign quickly began to disassemble itself. Aides taking cabs home late that night got rude awakenings when they found the credit cards linked to the campaign no longer worked.
Who cancels the credit cards within hours of the election? Don’t you have better things to do be doing at that point such as drinking yourself into a stupor or sleeping?
Says a lot about that tight-fisted money grubber Romney.

He could have at least strapped them to the roof of the car and given them a ride home.
It's a durn good thing that Nitt and Ann Antoinette's shit don't stink. None of those stiffed staffers could have seen ANYTHING that they could use to embarrass or implicate the MORmON and his tools.
DeleteThat's because he didn't that deduction because it would have put him in the lowest tax bracket. Embarrassing. Everyone predicted he'd refile after election or - perish the thought - inauguration.
DeleteChris Matthews' show tonight mentioned that on election night some Romney staffers got a rude awakening concerning the campaign's "fiscal responsibility" when they tried to use their Romney campaign issued credit cards for cabfare home on election night.... the cards had been deactivated!
ReplyDeleteNice way to say "thank you" to your staff for all their hard work on your behalf, huh? I cannot imagine what it must be like to have to work for/with any of these people
Couple words for the palins. Fuck you. Goodbye.
ReplyDeleteyou took the words right out of my mouth!!
DeleteFuck me?
DeleteFuck you.

You're so mature. I hope you voted 10 times. I want every impressionable person to become what you are.

Romney was stoic as he talked to the president, an aide said, but his wife Ann cried
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that bitch Ann Romney cried. Hope she cried all fucking night. Just because you're rich doesn't mean everybody is going to kiss your ass and hand you things.
That bitch wanted to be the first lady so bad, boo fucking hoo.
DeleteYeah, isn't it funny that the people who ARE handed tax breaks, free hotels, etc. are the ones complaining about Democrats wanting handouts? People want jobs, you entitled SOBs. You try living on food stamps for a month.

Rove is a pure villain: http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/11/08/1166711/rove-accuses-obama-campaign-of-suppressing-the-vote/
ReplyDeleteAnd just how did Democrats 'suppress the vote?' By insisting that Ohio extend hours for everyone? By making sure voter ID laws were fair and not restrictive in PA and elsewhere? By fighting every gd obstacle the GOP put up for the poor, black, elderly and hispanics? By ensuring that polling stations stayed open for the last voters? I know, by NOT fixing machines to switch votes from Mitt to Obama. Rove is a pitiful ugly man who sees his time is up. Wouldn't be surprised if some of those big money men had a hit out on him. He is really scambling here, and I bet the right is eating it up. Already had my niece tell me that 'illegals voting in Ohio' made the difference. Really? Illegal what? Fish from Lake Erie? Baseball players? Dumber than bricks are these people. And such gracious losers.
DeleteWhy on earth would the Obama campaign want to suppress votes? High voter turnout always favors Democrats.

We all know Sarah wants to beat Obama just like she beat Glen Rice in her sister's Alaska college dorm room.
Just like Bristol beat Levi, Ben, Gino and a sex partner to be named at a later date.

Your tears are delicious repubs. The best part is the GOP has no hope of being elected in the future. This is the end of the republican party as we know it. I give it another 10 years max before the party is 100% extinct. And there is absolutely nothing they can do about it. America has rejected them completely.

ReplyDeleteHow the Secret Service Said Goodbye to Mitt Romney
ReplyDeleteRead More http://www.gq.com/news-politics/blogs/death-race/2012/11/how-the-secret-service-said-goodbye-to-mitt-romney.html#ixzz2BgyedTG9
At some point, early Wednesday morning, when Gov. Mitt Romney and family were tucked into bed, a quiet call went out on the radio channel used by his Secret Service agents: "Javelin, Jockey details, all posts, discontinue."
Of all the indignities involved in losing a presidential race, none is more stark than the sudden emptiness of your entourage. The Secret Service detail guarding Governor Romney since Feb 1. stood down quickly. He had ridden in a 15-car motorcade to the Intercontinental Hotel in Boston for his concession speech. He rode in a single-car motorcade back across the Charles River to Belmont. His son, Tagg, did the driving.
There is no formal guideline for the Secret Service agents in this situation; it's up to the discretion of the detail leader, who usually consults with the local police to make sure that his protectee's home won't be overrun by protestors and supporters all of a sudden.
But the Service leaves quickly. No more motorcades. No more rope lines. No more bubbles. Familiar faces disappear, never to be seen again.

Romney loses in hometown of Belmont
ReplyDeleteThe presidential race was neck and neck Tuesday night, but in Belmont the results were clear: Mitt Romney was no favorite son.
President Obama won 65 percent of the vote in the town Romney has called home since 1971. Romney received 34 percent in a race that brought out 79 percent of Belmont’s 17,822 voters.

DeletePrivate jets for Romney clog Logan airport
ReplyDeleteHow could the Republicans lose? Why couldn't Mitt Romney connect with Americans?
Here's much of the reason why.
Private jets were streaming into Boston’s Logan International Airport Tuesday afternoon, officials said, as Mitt Romney’s well-heeled supporters arrived for his post-election party in the Seaport District.
Edward Freni, director of aviation for Logan, said an unusually large number of Gulfstream corporate jets were looking to park at the airport by late afternoon on election day. Logan had accommodated 80 of them by 4:30 p.m., roughly double the 40 to 50 it sees on a typical day, he said.

These are the kinds of surprises that you should expect when you pay people to lie to you instead of giving you solid honest critique and feedback...
ReplyDeleteYou should expect to run a disorganized, disjointed, completely piss-poor campaign with no consistency in messaging.
Here's a hint for the GOP: Instead of just making shit up, at least do honest INTERNAL polling so you'll know where you stand after burning through over a billion dollars on a campaign.
Either Mitt was just lying once again about being surprised, or he doesn't understand the game and hires people as dumb as he is, politically.
Actually, I believe Mitt is lying PLUS he also hired a bunch of Neocon re-treads that ran the worst Presidential campaign I have witnessed in following politics closely (since Nixon's re-election in 1972).
I'll bet Lyin'Ryan tries to pretend he was never on the ticket in his future political races, but he doesn't get off that easy. He's now tagged as "just another GOP idiot VP candidate.
I really think that people like Mittens believe that the Bradley Effect still exists. He really thought that "you people" will not elect a black man over him, simple as that. He won't admit his racism, but he will encourage "you people" to put your racism on display for all the world to see.
DeleteAnd I agree with you about the inept campaign organization employed by Romney. I have never seen such an amateur attempt at presidential politics, and I started following politics about the same era as you. Not a lot of mad skillz on that team. Can you name any of his campaign staff, or top advisers, that are not members of his family? Four years on from 2008, I could probably name eight or ten of McCain's campaign staff, or advisers. I think Romney cheaped out on his campaign staff, and relied far too much on his family.
And Paul Ryan...he was the one that I thought Romney would pick, and while I knew he was not gonna be a great running mate, I never dreamed that he could achieve the colossal level of fail that characterizes his performance in this election. The mind reels...
The bobble-head lady now looks even more gaunt than she did on the campaign earlier this fall. If I didn't know that she'd be reminding us 3 times every day, I'd guess that she has cancer and has been receiving chemotherapy.
ReplyDeleteShe's sick, even if it is self-imposed through her "healthy attitude about life, nutrition and fitness'.
Apparently, this is what you look like when you are consumed by hatred and jealousy 24/7 for 4 years. She makes her own life a living hell by choice.
I was very worried about Ohio. Four days before the election Husted Ohio sec of state had put "experimental"" software" on the voting machines in 39 counties. Obama filed a lawsuit to stop this but a republican judge tossed the case out. Tagg Romney also owned the company that supplies the voting machines in Ohio. I think that was why Rove was protesting and literally stuttering when Fox called Ohio. Pres Obama won Ohio but the spread was much smaller than expected .All of his other wins were larger than expected. I think Rove and Romney thought they could steal the state of Ohio and the election using dirty tricks.That would explain why the Romney people were so confident despite all polling showing an Obama win. Dirty bastards.My God did we dodge a bullet.
ReplyDeleteThe Romney people didn't project all that much confidence in the outcome of this election, in my opinion. In the last two weeks, he quit talking to the press. They flitted from swing state to swing state in a desperate attempt to retain whatever support they still had. Superstar Paul Ryan, for the last month, appeared only sporadically, in very small venues, and was nearly absent in the press. These are not the actions of a confident campaign team. They just had to try to appear confident to keep their supporters energized, and keep the fallout from the approaching landslide to a minimum.
DeleteI'm not saying that it is wrong to worry about the machines, and other forms of vote theft and suppression...because those phenomena are all too real. I just think, in this case, any confidence projected by the Romney team was just a facade.
Ham Rove's bonus probably was dependent on which states he was able to deliver. Guess he didn't get his bonus, this time out. Call the whambulance, Ham!
I read that Mother Jones wrote an article about big donors to Rove's Crossroads are demanding answers about $$$. Seems the democratic team got TV ads for 50% less than the price Rove charged their donors. Had Myth won, all would have been forgiven, but Rove did not deliver this time! His kingmaker days are over, finally.
DeleteActually Mitt Romney refused to answer questions from the press for over 22 days before the election. The stupidity and arrogance of Mitt Romney boggles the mind. Thank God he did not become president. One really stupid president in a century (George W. Bush) is already one too many!
DeleteBeaglemom
I had an attack from one of my inlaws on FB because I posted LOL! when my niece posted "The suspense is killing me!" on her page. The person has swallowed a vicious load of the koolaid they serve over at Fox. She told me I would not be laughing when gas went up to $7 a gallon, doom and gloom, doom and gloom, etc. She told me I was blind to the bad stuff Obama has done. I told her I didn't like being called stupid for my voting decision.
ReplyDeleteSo, she was filled with hate and fear. This is someone I've always gotten along with, and now I don't know anymore. I won't be talking about politics at family gatherings, because it seems like most of the inlaws are such strict conservatives, that they absolutely hate our president, don't call him their president, and think he is an evil Muslim who wants to destroy America.
They really are puzzled by this defeat. They can't see that Mitt's attitude of not caring for the middle class, despite trying to convince everyone otherwise during the debate, is very transparent. Also the social issues of gay marriage and reproductive rights are things the majority of Americans voted for, and ROmney/Ryan are against those things. They don't get it that just looking out for themselves and people like them, and looking down on the rest of the country lost them the election. There is a real lack of genuine caring on their part.
Thank God they don't understand it all. Knowledge is power and our POTUS is no dummy, and he DOES care for us all.
Congratulations President Obama and First Lady Michele! It is so good to know you are where you should be - in the White House for 4 more years!
About twenty years ago, I gave up the hassle and stress that were the fake family holidays (you know, don't call each other all year, then command performances). best decision I ever made. Now spend holidays with my "family" of choice. Something you might want to consider.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) told reporters Thursday he reached out to President Barack Obama with a personal phone call to congratulate him on his reelection. Mitt Romney, the man Christie had campaigned with and raised money for, got a conciliatory email, the governor said.
ReplyDelete“We didn’t have a political strategy discussion," Christie said of his Wednesday phone chat with Obama, Bloomberg reports. "I said, 'Congratulations on your win last night, Mr. President,' and he said, 'Thank you.'"
Asked if he'd given Romney the same treatment, Christie said that he hadn't.
“No; we exchanged e-mails last night,” Christie said, according to Bloomberg. “We haven’t spoken on the phone yet.”

After all the rumors of Palin's meth addiction, I must say, after watching her Tuesday night, I believe they are true. She did not even look like the same person I remember 4 years ago. It was sickeing really.

ReplyDeleteSasha Obama's Friendly Reminder To Her Father On Election Night (VIDEO)
A president surrounds himself with advisors well-versed in a variety of subjects -- and even when it comes to the basics of crowd management, it seems Barack Obama's covered.
In the midst of Tuesday's election night celebration in Chicago, Sasha Obama gave her dad a friendly reminder that endeared her to supporters in the McCormick Place convention center and beyond.
Apparently anxious to ensure the newly-reelected leader didn't ignore any of his fans, the 11-year-old nudged her dad to look at the people behind him. It was excellent advice: as soon as Obama turned his head, the crowd behind the podium started cheering and waving American flags even more excitedly than before.
YouTube user ohshawman posted a clip from NBC News's Election Night coverage showing the exchange.
It looks like Sasha made more than one good call on Election Night.

For just a minute I thought that the picture of Mitt at the top of this post was taken on one of his private jets. Or one of the many private jets that clogged the Boston airport.
ReplyDeleteThen I remembered something important. Mitt's jet has windows that open in case you need to let the smoke out! So either it's someone else's jet that doesn't have the Romney windows, or it's on a bus, where the windows can't open for some reason.
Has anybody seen Todd Palin? Is he laying low since Alaska is looking into sex trafficking? Is Todd still in the United States?

Maybe he is having plastic surgery to go into the "Witless Protection Program"???

lol gryphen love that caption on the romney pic.
ReplyDeleteit's hard to feel sorry for these people, even though their emotions are as strong as ours, they allowed themselves to live in fantasy land. and for that, it's hard to find sympathy.
lol and the quitter looks wretched in that pic! she's probably cheering though, thinking that her contract will be renewed because the black man is still in the white house.
ReplyDeletefunny thing though, she was hired by faux to get him out of the white house. and she FAILED. FAIL FAIL FAIL. not surprising, but definitely amusing.
I know Gryphen's probably jealous of the Heaths amazing Alaskan childhood and even current daily adventures living there, but you might not want to show it.
ReplyDeleteBecause Gryphen had no childhood,he sprang forth fully grown.Moron.Wait-thats moran.

ReplyDeleteThose photos of the crazy people wallowing in despair are just precious! And Poor Nancy, looks so, so,,, crestfallen! And look at the face on her son, poor kid must have been programmed for a win and got disappointed.
What I'd like to see is footage of Ann crying. Really? Somehow I just can't picture it!
She looked fine on stage during the concession speech, she even wore her hair in a similar updo to Sarah's when she sank McCain's campaign.
