I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

So many conspiracies, so many impeachments.  May I say this --- get over it.  You LOST, resoundingly.   You could do so much good --- you could help rather than incite for things that just aren't going to happen. There is a country to run.....if you don't want to be part of the solution, stop being the problem.  That was why you lost.

Blue, I had missed the picture you posted, saw the comments so went back and looked.  She's so beautiful!

Edited to add:  Geez what is it with Republicans and impeachment everytime they don't win.  What crybabies!  We lived through the Bush administration I'm pretty sure that if they put on their big girl panties/big boy pants they can live through the Obama administration.

Blue, I'm so excited to see more wedding pix -- that one was stunning!  Just love the blue shoes!

Message to Speaker Boehner:  Once again, John, what part of "we won" don't you understand?  Let's see now, 303 EC votes, a larger percentage of the popular vote, more seats in the Senate, and you're trying to tell me we all should agree (re raising taxes on the top 1%) to what the House wants -- or else?"

I was listening to some Repub spokespersons last evening, who again said "no new taxes" but instead were quite comfy with getting rid of certain deductions (mortgage and so on) that will end up costing the average citizen just as much - or more -- in the end.  And of course the host didn't bother to say "Well, that's essentially the same thing".  Useless hosts, most of them.......

Just peeked over the garden wall and laughed at the comment that Obama could only have won through massive fraud.  And she just can't wait until it's uncovered.  In other words, no evidence of fraud, but it has to exist, because how else could Romney have lost.  It couldn't possibly be that the convervative ideas R. spouted prior to his latest incarnation as a moderate are deeply unpopular.  Or that no one trusts R. because he has held every side of every position?  Or that people actually perceive the country as slowly starting to recover?  Here's what they really can't stand: the fact that the whites alone in this country cannot dominate politics - that the Southern strategy developed by Nixon no longer works - and that the only way for this country to go forward is to build coalitions among people of diverse backgrounds.

See that someone from the dark side had her "cup of poison" for breakfast this morning - time to give up watching Faux News methinks!

I'm still tired from Tuesday night, so can only speak via pictures to those stirring the pot Alexandria mentioned:

Alexandria, I saw that too. First time I have heard that accusation, including from the most rabid Republics in the media. Goes to show how great is the power of delusion. 

Trump's not the only one who needs antipsychotic drugs.

Oh, there was fraud all right. Plenty of Republican fraud trying to suppress the vote! True the Vote was barred by a judge from the polls in Franklin County, Ohio (where Columbus is located) for fraud, including forging signatures on documents they submitted as supporting their application to observe at the polls. They are now facing felony fraud investigations. Voting machines that changed votes for Obama/Biden to Romney/Ryan -- caught on tape! Massive fraud right now in Maricopa County, AZ (home of that lowlife Arpaio) where tens of thousands of provisional ballots remain uncounted in traditionally Democratic precincts -- more ballots than Jeff Flake beat Richard Carmona by. Lots of fraud ... And our President won re-election in spite of it.



One of the main reasons the Republicans lost is that they are simply delusional. They cannot grasp objective reality. They will continue to lose as long as they continue to live in their little Salvador Dali world through the looking glass. Personally, I hope they stay there and keep losing. At some point, some non-delusional Republican will surface and lead the sane away, leaving the rest to bay at the moon.

There are things one need not even dignify with an answer.

Tea Party Rick Scott's efforts to suppress the vote have failed. His state looks like an arse - STILL counting ballots. And Obama is ahead - BUT if he were behind it wouldn't matter.

The anger BY republicans OVER fraud is most likely that THEIR fraud tactics didn't work.

I am also loving how many people totally wasted their money, including Sheldon Adelson and that candidate in CT.

Absolutely love the money wasted by Adelson.

Problem with delusional people - they think their crazy view of reality is real and the rest of us are crazy.

Good article about what was done the last 4 years.  It failed miserably ... but hurt a lot of Americans in the process.  I can only be happy that it took them down in flames also at the end.

Re the 'fiscal cliff' ... The Bush tax cuts will expire unless the House, Senate and the President all agree to extend them. Obama has the option of letting them expire ... and then immediately proposing his own program of tax cuts. That would force the GOP/TPers to actively vote against working and middle class tax cuts. Which would be political suicide in 2014 for them.

Obama has the winning hand now and I hope he plays it.  He does not need to beg for their cooperation.  He can go around them if they choose to remain obstructionist.

I suspect that Trump is exhibiting early signs of dementia.  I don't say that in a mean way.  My father had similar signs many years before it was apparent enough to make a diagnosis.  The behaviour and eccentric statements are very familiar.  

Pip, do you know how old Trump is? My dad started showing the signs in his late 70's and was formally dx'd at 81. 

Had a bit of a fuzzy youthful memory of Nixon surrounding the White House with DC transit buses back in the day and fleeing to Camp David from we protestors.



I'd truly love to see Capitol Hill surrounded by protestors to the extent that this do nothing bunch of leeches also felt they needed to hide behind buses from the American public fed up with the obstructionist behavior.



Get the damn social issues off the table and start working together on solutions to our economic issues. Solve the economic challenges and the social BS will take care of itself. Or rather we each can manage our own bodies, bedrooms, and spiritual needs.
