OK...so Obama has won reelection. It will be bad, of that there is NO doubt. However, good can come from this.
“Seriously? Whats the point? Conservatism is dead. We had our last chance today, and blew it.”
That is defeatist nonsense and just isn’t so. “Conservatism” is not dead....Romney WAS NOT CONSERVATIVE....so it didn’t die with his loss or Obama’s win. This is an opportunity to reenergize conservatism, not its funeral. IF Romney had to be elected in order for “conservatism” to continue....then it had already died.
Also, Obama DOES NOT HAVE A MANDATE. It lookd like he may barely win or outright lose the popular vote....he is the lamest of lame ducks. The GOP House should treat him as such.
Thanks.
Palin is still here, Jim Robinson, the tea party, the new conservatives that have been put into office over the last 4 years are all still here.
2010 was an HISTORIC election victory for conservatives and the republican party, not just a good year, 2014 is something worth fighting for and definitely winnable.
One interesting consideration for the next four years is that the Democrats will go into 2016 without a "natural" frontrunner for the White House. Joe Biden sure isn't going to be their candidate, to the point where he may even be pressured to step down in favor of a younger replacement.
I'll continue my process of "going Galt" to the extent that I can. I've fuly divested myself of my ownership stake in my old company, I've rejected an offer to become a partner in my new company, and I plan to spend the next four years pretty much doing the same thing I've been doing for the last four: be fair but absolutely mercenary in my business dealings, don't take any sh!t from anyone, and always keep my options open even if it means relocating to another state -- or another country -- for better business prospects.
Things are bad, but IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD PEOPLE! We haved survived worse. Somethings to make things better, they have to get worse first.
Yes, I believe this very conversation was taking place in Jewish communities in Germany in 1935.
Things can get worse, but if you plan for a future that works like the past, you could be in for a rude awakening.
You’re absolutely right. We’re done. We’ll be in a shooting Civil War, or be a Muslim Caliphate within 4 years.
We just had our country taken away from us. He gets atleast 2 more SC judges. Everything you remember about America is done. It’s gone.
They’ll be lining people like Sarah Palin, and Allen West against a wall before 4 years. All of us too. Remember what Valerie Jarrett said? We all have it coming.
The only thing “good” that’s coming from this is that I now see I have wasted 30 years of my life fighting for a country that doesn’t exist, and believing in a god that doesn’t exist. I guess I can stop wasting my time, find me a hole in the woods out here in KY, and watch the rest of it burn.
A lot of us don’t expect to be around in 2016 or whenever. This has become a MOST STUPID COUNTRY.
5) Get your kids out of the damned communist schools. It’s something YOU have 100% control over. Do it!
The problem is there are not enough conservatives and libertarians to win an election. Your kidding yourself if you tyhink there are.
Also we have to change our tactics if we want to win. The Dems won on a negitive campaign. When some of us said to fight fire with fire many people on FR said they didn’t want to fight like that because Americans didn’t like dirty politics well evidently they do because we just got our butts kicked.
We relied too much on independents helping us win and they are nothing but a bunch of fence sitters and cannot be relied on.
There are not enough blacks or Hispanics to win an election Obama won twice because of the liiberal white votes. The same people voted for him that he and his called racist and disrespect I hope they get everything he gives them.
Time to prepare to sell your lives dearly. The rules of the game just went out the window. the rule of law means nothing now. The rule of men has the upper hand. With everything that implies.
I am tired, old, depressed and broke. I did all I could do to get this guy defeated. Well, we came closer than with McLame but when you lose two in a row, you are out of step with the will of the majority....it is time to fold the tent.
I am taking a break from politics, probably for good. Fag Marriage amendent passed in Washington State. I am out of step on that front too. We now have a nation where abortion, contraceptives and fag marriage are more important to the electorate than a balanced budget, a decent business climate and a sound social security system.
I fear based on how we have turned our back on religion and ethics, Oturd is just the first of many plagues headed for this once great nation. Too bad but the electorate is like a ball lost in the high weeds....money for nothing anc chicks for free is more than a song now, it is a way of life.

Life in America will NEVER be the same.
Love it, Doc. First laugh I had all evening. :)
Got room for a couple more down there? I'll bring my guns.

Why do you believe there will be another election. A Socialist Autocrat,having no need for a constitution or a legislative branch, will rule by executive edict. And who or what will restrain him?
We may learn why all those thousands of rounds of rifle ammo were purchased.
-— We will run out of “Others” very soon.....and that’s when it will turn around. ——
Sad but true.
It’s up to the States to stand up for their rights. Nullify intrusions like Obamacare and the EPA war on coal.
2016 may not matter...
Now, the democrats will expand their attacks on our Christian churches...homosexual marriage will be a reality...the issue was never really about gay rights people...it is about the destruction of our Christian churches.
They will take over by regulatory and taxation power our private sector.
They will create an atmosphere where it is even more difficult for opposition...look at how the media helped the democrat party this election cycle...it is insane to think that it will get better later...they are going to consolidate power even more than during the first term.
No, if we want to change things we will have to bring down this government by other means...legal means. In Poland they boycotted and walked off their jobs and defeated the Communists...but, in this country we still live in a relative lap of luxury...most will not risk their precious livelihoods to save the nation...hell, I remember how many could not go to the Tea Party event just before the obamacare vote because of familiy or friend get togethers...these people will not be put out by restoring freedom.
So, we can live here watching this country decline and our children’s opportunities die more every year or we can choose to move to better more free nations...now there are plenty.
Don’t know what I will do yet but I am leaning towards moving to another nation.
Thank you! Myth was lame. Ryan, Jindal, McDonnell, Martinez, Rubio, Sandoval, Haley, West, etc. are not! Forward!
