Surprise, surprise!
There's just too much Freeper wail and fail for just one thread, so Ms. A has given me permission to do a two-parter, with the conclusion coming up Monday morning.
Without further ado, let's get to the :
ELECTION DAY November 6, 2012 ***LIVE THREAD I*** FREE REPUBLIC!!! | 11-6-12 | Free RepublicPosted on Tuesday, November 06, 2012 5:18:47 AM by RKBA Democrat
The polls are open on the east coast!!
From this morning's election day prayer thread:
"Heavenly Father may you forgive this nation and its people for the many awful sins that we have commited against you. We do not deserve the wonderful ways we have been blessed and please forgive us for our indifference,neglect and complacency towards you. (snip)
May you smash every crooked deed
GOD SMASH!
as evil men and women try to hold onto power and may this be so convincing that everyone knows that your hand is in this.
Kibitzer - could you please yank the power cord to the Irony Alarm? Thank yew.
Then we may bring the light of your Gospel to our people who do not know you and to the nations of the world.
May you block and undo every policy and piece of legislation they have passed that is harmful to this nation.
God has veto power? Or just an unending and eternal filibuster?
May you make every policy they make fail and may you turn the hearts of the multitudes against them. May you thwart every evil deed they try to divide this nation with. May you bring their own mischief upon them ten fold. May you punish those in our government who are lawless traitors and enemies of the Constitution by exposing them and deliver them into our hands for justice.
And this we humbly ask in Jesus name. AMEN!"

Hilarious.
I've got to wonder if there isn't a serious side to all the repub bluster. For weeks they've been screaming about how they were going to have a landslide. Obviously they're trying to create their own reality (if they can make the rest of the folks think they will have a landslide, it is possible to gain votes and actually use this to get a landslide).
This time, it blew up in their face (to the point that they believed their own BS and got caught off guard).
Now I'm hearing the news gurus screaming about the impending financial cliff. Of course, over-attention to the matter in cries of terror lead to lower stock market values as people anticipate a decrease. The cries of terror also put pressure on Obama to give in.
In short, are they still trying to play the same tactics ?
And if Bush II's 0.000001% lead in the election got him "substantial political capital" - why don't they admit the same for Obama?
Posted by: MapleStreet | November 10, 2012 at 12:54

@Monkeyfister, Of course I am amazed that Frum is able to put together an analysis so fast. Kind of makes me think the $3.99 is his labor at minimum wage to write it.
But then I see the amazon blurb including "David Frum urges a Republican party that is culturally modern, economically inclusive, and environmentally responsible"
Uh, wouldn't that mean they become liberals if not outright dems ??
Cheers !

MapleStreet:
And if Bush II's 0.000001% lead in the election got him "substantial political capital" - why don't they admit the same for Obama?
Especially since the difference in votes for Obama/Romney was greater than for Bush/Kerry; 3,202,521 to 3,012,166.
Given that fewer people voted this year than in 2004, that makes it a wider margin as well.
The reason is that Obama is a Democrat, and can therefore never be considered a reasonable representative of the American people. Democratic administrations are exceptions to the normal way of things...

That's because we're smarter than the average bear.

"Save those Intrade shares along with your graybacks."
-Kibitzer
First of all a big fuck you to Mitch Romney who lost his shit like a bitch even though my cousin Gandalf - and don't even say shit because I have heard it so many times I will fuck you up if you start with that on me again - convinced me to invest a bunch of money on Mitch Romney on this stupid web page called Intrade. He was like "oh no way dude he has got this you got to unskew that shit and you see the truth" and I am big into truth seeking ever since I learned Ice Hand the lost wendigo martial art from the spirits of past wendigos who appeared to me when I tried smoking one of those pucks that turns your toilet water blue so anyway I did what Gandalf said and invested a ton of money on Intrade and guess what???? Mitch Romney lost. And Gandalf isn't anywhere around, last I saw he checked in on Facebook was at the peach pit, the strip club that's outdoors at a gravel pit during the off season.
It wouldn't be a big deal to me because it wasn't my money, but that's just the problem. It was the Zetas money and now they are after me. Those stupid motherfuckers gave me 18,000 dollars to buy Of Montreal which is what they call Quebec LSD which comes as acid-soaked jigsaw puzzles of dogs and babies and so to cover up that I spent all their LSD money losing it to mitch romneys stupid ass I soaked some puzzles in cream soda and gasoline and I guess I made one of the zetas go blind. So now I got my head on a swivel watching out for the Alpha Omega Zetas to drive up on me in their pickups and drag me off to do some hazing type shit at U of A like blindfold me and make me eat a dog's dook-knot or put my hand in spaghetti or something. I'm too busy to deal with that shit.
