Well, folks - it felt a bit strange taking the "Paul Ryan" and "Mitt Romney's flaccid penis" tags down and packing them away, but I think we're all had enough of Mr. Forty-seven Percent to last us a lifetime.
So - let's see what's in the first drum of toxic Freepitude, shall we?
To: Thane_Banquo; All; FReepersLet not your heart be troubled. On Fox, Karl Rove is painting a very good picture for a Republican win in Ohio, Florida and Virginia. I realize Karl was not very popular hereabouts a few months ago but he’s an astute observer of politics and an excellent numbers cruncher.
Steve Schmidt: GOP must muzzle Rush Limbaugh
Politico ^
Posted on Wednesday, November 07, 2012 12:58:51 AM by Windy City Conservative
Republican strategist Steve Schmidt said early Wednesday morning on MSNBC that it’s time for Republican leaders to stand up to “extreme statements” and “nonsense” coming from within the GOP, including Rush Limbaugh.
“Now, people calling for revolution and these extreme statements — when I talk about a civil war in the Republican Party, what I mean is, it’s time for Republican elected leaders to stand up and to repudiate this nonsense, and to repudiate it directly,” Schmidt said.

In all of the genocides,pogroms,dealing with stubborn Kulaks,Great Leaps Forward,final solution to the Jewish Question not once did the police or the legal system stand up & say NO THIS IS WRONG WE WILL NOT CARRY OUT THESE CRIMINAL ORDERS . Just the opposite is the grim reality . Don’t say you haven’t been warned.
Rush,Glenn Beck ,Mike Savage,Hannity would be wise to make plans on how to get out of the country on really short notice & without government permission, the key words being without government permission failure to do so could lead to being in government custody for thought crimes to a bullet in the back of the head.

As any poker player knows, those 8 percent chances do come up once in a while. If it happens this year, then a lot of polling firms will have to re-examine their assumptions — and we will have to re-examine ours about how trustworthy the polls are. But the odds are that Mr. Obama will win another term.
Nate Silver accepts your apology..

Well, I’d proudly follow Palin to the gates of hell.

As for GOP-E “compassionate conservatives,” I’d like to paint my walls red with their blood. From rafter to rafter.

To: indianrightwingerWhy you want Palin to stop picking candidates? What are you trying to do? Win elections or something???
Nope, we will keep nominating Mourdock’s, Akin’s, Joe Miller’s, Doug Hoffman’s, Ken Buck’s, JD Haywoth’s, etc etc. Who cares if we lose elections, at least we nominate good conservatives.

You people are CLUELESS
During the primaries it was obvious that 7 out of 10 GOP voters WANTED SOMEONE MORE CONSERVATIVE than Romney, you forced him on us
YOU ARE TO BLAME FOR THIS LOSS and the continuation of this Obamanation on The Republic
Did Ronald Reagan "reach across the aisle" or did he win with strong conservativ eagenda?
Good question.
MR. ZUCKERMAN: Well, you know, there is a huge difference between Gingrich and Reagan. Reagan had the ability, as he did with Tip O'Neill, the speaker of the House, to do a complete reform program of Social Security. You think about what that would be like today if we had somebody who could reach across the aisle the way Reagan did.

A truly conservative candidate WOULD HAVE WON.

To: Mr. KBull poop, this was far more about the people doing the voting than the Republican candidate.
Romeny ran a good campaign.
He spoke well.
He made great points and offered sound solutions.
He worked his butt off.There is no perfect candidate, but I think Romney left everything he had out there in the campaign.
The people let the country down, not Romney.

As the election results pour in tonight, I am confronted with by a period of time in which I must reassess my core values and beliefs, and how they fit into the broader population of the United States.
As the election results pour in tonight, I am confronted with by a period of time in which I must reassess my core values and beliefs, and how they fit into the broader population of the United States.
It is my belief that the Nation is becoming a Humanist Country,
Well, that's what you get when you let humans run things, innit?
where Government is at the Center of Life much as Religion had been in the past. We are becoming more like Sweden or the Nordic countries rather than like the Southern EU nations of Greece, Italy or Spain. The difference between a social democracy and a Humanist Country is at its core one of financial ability to maintain - the Nordic nations have oil, gas and low populations and the South has more people than they can support.
My basis for these thoughts are that I have lived in a state of mind in which I choose to be conservative, religious, and tried to be the best person I could, all the while teaching my children to work hard and be self-reliant.
But as the election results are coming in evidence to the contrary confronts me that many more Americans are not conservative.
The state of American is that just over one-half of the citizens are happy with the Democrats while the conservative half like myself felt he was destruction to the Nation on so many levels.
Tonight I must finally admit that Democrats and liberals have achieved their goals of moving the County into a social democracy like those in Europe; tonight is 1970 in Europe and in 50 years the USA will be in the same dire straights(sic) as Europe.
Americans like myself will no longer take the risks or work harder than the laziest in each of our work environments and all seek the same diminishing rewards. Having lived in Europe and experienced the their culture in The Netherlands and Belgium, all incentive to produce has been breed out of the population.
So tonight I must accept that the Country is not going to collapse nor is it going to change much from today for that matter. Tomorrow I will be faced with walking the social plank off the Ship into the water or tread lightly so as not to offend the Humanists, the gays, the anti-Christians, the Latinos, Blacks, women, etc.
Whatever happened to the good old days, when you could offend people just for the hell of it?
Tonight I go to sleep knowing my way of life is in the last generation where a majority once worked hard and individuals were important; tomorrow I embrace the new culture where the intolerant are somehow the norm and to live counter to their culture is being intolerant - I for one do not think I can tolerate
Divide By Zero Alert!!!
this new status quo but will silently accept what our schools and taxes have done to society.

To: JumperI am exiting politics, entirely. When a socialist regime becomes so powerful that an election result no longer represents my voice due to voter fraud, what's the point? When a society comprised of robots ignorant of the issues becomes the majority opinion, what's the point? When a society becomes DOMINATED by ignorant females who vote (with their lady parts) for a cool swagger man because of a hurricane and don't even know what BENGHAZI means, WHAT THE HELL HAVE WE DONE?God has abandoned us, and we ain't seen nothin' yet. Have at it, ladies. You won't have to worry about a 'war on terror'. There isn't one if you surrender to it, and you will. Enjoy, ladies!

To: JumperI am sick to my stomach right now. I am trying to comprehend just how the American people, with four solid years of documented failure, would re-elect this man.
The only conclusion I can draw is that the American people have accepted an entitlement society and socialism and have rejected free enterprise and Capitalism. If that is the case, America, as a great economic and military power, is over.
Our future is now one of continual decline, increasing debt, increasing taxes, increasing social programs, government-subsidized health care and polarization.
I predict that the end result of this will be a civil war.
Good-bye to Ronald Reagan’s vision of America, and hello to Josef Stalin’s.
Tonight I weep for my country.

If I had to guess, the guy who disliked the Netherlands and Belgium because they're all a bunch of lazy moochers probably just never got over being gently teased for his accent.
I'd be more appreciative of the Freeper bubble if there was some way to make it semi-permeable and keep them and their rich delicious broth of insanity, seasoned generously with conspiracy salt, safely inside. They'd be happier, that's for sure. And I want everyone to be happy.

Posted by: Dee Loralei | November 26, 2012 at 12:55
Thanks so much. You give me a reason to look forward to Monday.
Some of your posts have me wondering if we've reached a tipping point where the GOP is destined to implode on itself. They've created their Frankenstein's monster by the Tea Baggers and urging people to go to the Healthcare Town Halls and disrupt them by their hysterics (corallary - if you just yell loud enough you can demand whatever you want from the politicos).
While it has long been traditional to win the primaries by playing to the base and being extreme and then moderate oneself for the election, the need to appear 100% Tea Bag, 100% Grover Norquist Pledge, 100% ...... seems to have been most extreme lately.
While repubs have traditionally eaten their wounded, the long line of candidate of the week in the primaries, where each candidate had a week of being beatified only to be decried as a heretic the next week. The primaries and into the full campaign were also marked by a palpable tension between the GOP supporters and the GOP-elite.
Oh, I had to, as Pallin would say, use the google thingy to see who Steve Schmidt is. According to Wiki he specializes as "message development and strategy." and senior strategist for the McCain campaign. Is that really what you'd put on your resume ?
Posted by: mapleStreet | November 26, 2012 at 13:19
"God has abandoned us, and we ain't seen nothin' yet."
I really have to wonder at this person's spirituality. Sounds like blaming God when things don't go their way. Not to mention blaming God for what **WE** do.
Admittedly, just another incongruity among the Freepers.
On a lighter note, how come the OWS protestors ranged from humorous to ineffective to negative connotations such as vermin. But the Freepers are gonna march on Repub Headquarters and that is some sort of stellar event ? Guess the Tea Bags hanging from tri-cornered hats have a penache that the OWS lack ?
Posted by: mapleStreet | November 26, 2012 at 13:28
To hear the Freepi sad lament, you'd almost think we were at the point where Tommy could just weld the iso-chamber shut and stuff it under Yucca Mountain. Alas, I did a few brief scans the past few days and they are a starting to regroup with new and ever more grandiose plans to turn the GOP into the purest, most awesome, conservative juggernaut ever. As far as I can determine it all begins with convincing Latinos, blacks, women and Asians that their lives would be so much better if they just hated themselves more. Or something...

Thanks, guys - it's a privilege to be able to entertain you with wingnut fail.
Sometimes (usually, actually) the trick isn't finding it, but in winnowing it down - the repetition of tropes and memes makes that harder than you'd imagine.

Tommy, I can sympathize.
I've often been in the position of needing to give a class with insufficient time alloted to cover the assigned topic. Even after desperately and with excrutiating pain cutting out even the essentials, still having too much for the alloted time.
Definitely appreciate your hard work on this.
