I’m so sick of you Romney haters continuing to beat everyone because we lost. Get the hell over it - we are ALL going to suffer but you haters never wanted him to win in the first place. Just hateful and disgusting and we don’t appreciate that crap on this thread.

Yeah, but the only thing the Washington liberals really will support for the rest of us is mobus vivindi. OR, if you're a conservative, no mass vindependi.

That is very clever! I gave my sister a cake pan shaped like a stadium so she made it one night and let her grandson do the decorating. I didn’t really consider how hard it would be to decorate lol

It is 56, gloomy and raining off and on-beautiful and badly needed-
I doubt that a modus vivendi
Can be found for the spending-
The addiction is out of control
And the demand is never ending
Obama’s minions have partaken of
The koolaid made for the masses,
And so they are almost as hooked
As the mob and chattering classes
Rehab will be brutal for them-
The rest of us got nothing for free
We can hardly wait for their begging
As we watch them and howl with glee
Mean and vindictive-hell yeah...

Stop dreaming.
Mr. Romney never wanted to be POTUS, AND he should
have ORDERED his surrogates to leave Gov. Palin alone.
BUT HE DID NOT.
And now the Communist chickens have come home to roost.
