Anybody feeling a sense of regret among Obama voters

[BelleAl]

I spent a great time talking to my sweet, but sometimes clueless daughters about the impact of this election. They tend to see themselves as more progressive - pro gay marriage, global warming, etc... (before you guys flame away, please know I did my best -- this is college academic influence on them). The sense I get from them and from my conversations today with friends and acquaintances, is that there seems to be a overwhelming atmosphere of regret or to be more graphic and explicit...an oh s__t, what did we just do attitude.

I don't see an in-your-face hurrah jubilation like 4 years ago (except among the DBM)...just a quiet, somber reaction. I wonder if you guys are sensing that and if so, is it registering in Washington? The dynamics are definitely different this time around and I hope it is seen as unsettling to those in power. I'm feeling an edge, a vibe of unrest, uncertainty.

[what's up]

10,000,000 fewer of them voted.

They are definitely less enthused this time around.

And when it gets back to same old-same old there may be more of a wish that Romney had won.

Yes! I do know what you mean. I almost feel like some (not most) felt like they “had” to vote for him to maintain their self identity as trendy, hip and liberal but in the back of their minds they wanted the adults to save us from this fiasco.

[null and void]

He should have, and would have to any halfway competent or credible opponent.

He had a halfway competent and credible opponent.

They were warned and they know it.

They will soon know what learning lessons the hard way is like.

I’m not seeing it. All I get is smug satisfaction, along with a sexualized giddiness like they just lost their virginity to the star quarterback. Mostly, I just want to punch them in the monkey faces.

I don’t know about remorse, but everywhere I went today, people did seem down, not happy at all. This was after seeing so many happy people at the poll the day before — half Obama voters, half Romney. People were cheerful in line to vote. Didn’t see anyone cheerful today. Interesting.

The mood was pretty subdued in my neighborhood too. I couldn't look most people in the eye because I was afraid I'd start ranting "You voted for our destruction! Look what you've done! I'm ashamed to call you my neighbor!"

No, I think it will sink in with these people just what it is they've wrought.

No fireworks, whooping and hollering, or car horns going off in my neigborhood last night. It was quiet. Dead quiet.

[sockhead]

I should follow your example. My fears for my grandsons and their futures caused me to wallow today. I promise to be cheerful tomorrow. Thank you Cripplecreek.

All of the liberal socialists at work are preening and reveling in their hollow victory. I told them to enjoy it while it lasts, because we work in an industry that is sitting in the crosshairs of obama’s EPA, and our days as a private industry are numbered.

[Hammerhead]

I agree TOTALLY.

There were not many happy faces at work or the grocery market today.

I really get a sense that those that did vote for obama are starting to think “Oh Sh...” same as you.

Seriously, they have to be thinking, “now what?”

[Jack Hydrazine]

If they don’t feel it now they’ll certainly feel it later!

[Mustangman]

When the financial collapse hits, thats when they’ll regret their votes. Until then, they’ve secured birth control pills....as far as they know

[Bronzy]

Yeah, maybe the fact that Obama owns the economy and not Bush.

My smart academic, several degrees daughter was a one-two issue O voter. Having smarts doesn’t mean she sees the whole picture. This is not a youth. She is a divoced 50 year old and should know better, but arguing with her is useless. Her 3 brothers are the opposite.Sigh.

[Qwackertoo]

I can’t wait for the fines for not having health insurance kick in. Can’t wait for 8.00 gallon gas. Bring it on. I’m ready, but are they?

[Qwackertoo]

I can’t wait for the fines for not having health insurance kick in. Can’t wait for 8.00 gallon gas. Bring it on. I’m ready, but are they?

[bmwcyle]

The liberals think they saved the world. Who are you talking about today?

[vickixxxx]

Yes, my daughter said the same thing. All her college friends voted for O because of gay marriage, it was cool to vote for a black man, and free birth control.

[SunkenCiv]

Nope. And to suggest otherwise probably indicates it’s time for a CAT scan.

And when Zero’s young army of jack-and-jill-asses graduate (or drop out, or get kicked out to make room for more of Holder’s People and illegal aliens) and can’t get jobs, they’ll blame someone, anyone, whomever Zero et al tell them to blame. Yes, they are that stupid, that gullible, that foolish.

Gasoline prices up? Blame Big Oil!

Housing bubble? Blame banks and bankers! Blame the One Percent!

Jobs hard to get? Blame crony capitalism, but not the politicians who must logically be involved!

Republican loses an election? Blame him, blame his high-profile supporters in this or that state! Whoops, sorry, wrong herd of sheep.

Thanks BelleAl.

Anyone who voted for that loathsome treasonous piece of shit is AT LEAST guilty of complicity in the subversion of the Constitution and this Republic.

Militant ignorance of our nation's founding principles is at best a tenuous defense.

It ain't personal BA, it just IS.
