Following a protracted recount battle, three-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson conceded Sunday, acknowledging GOPGov. Rick Scott has been elected to replace him in January.

“Well, things worked out a little differently than Grace and I had hoped,” Mr. Nelson’s statement read. “But let me say, I by no measure feel defeated. And that’s because I have had the privilege of serving the people of Florida and our country for most of my life.”

As he left the political stage, Mr. Nelson, 76, also took a parting shot at President Trump.

“We have to move beyond a politics that aims not just to defeat but to destroy,” Mr. Nelson’s said. “Where truth is treated as disposable, where falsehoods abound, and the free press is assaulted as the ‘enemy of the people.’”

The Fourth Estate has become a Democratic National Committee Fifth Column. It is no longer a “free press” but biased liberal Democrat propaganda. It IS therefore, Lying Bill Nelson, the enemy of truth, the enemy of righteousness and thus, the enemy of the people.

God forbid you’d ever admit the TRUTH Nelson. Prove me wrong and go on TV and admit it.

Nothing like retiring with grace.

And this was nothing like it at all.

But hey, Bill Nelson did get to play astronaut for a while, a political stunt if there ever was.

Anybody able to post the “Sore Loserman” meme FRee Republic was famous for after the 2004 Lieberman defeat?

“Sore Loserman” is what I think of when I consider all I know about LIEberal losers!

[laconic]

As I recall, Nelson played astronaut and bumped a scientist who was supposed to go on that mission. Instead, the latter ended up on the flight with Christa McAuliffe that blew up.

[jazusamo]

Bump!

“As he left the political stage, Mr. Nelson, 76, also took a parting shot at President Trump.”

Get lost you jagoff.

[ealgeone]

I think you’re right on, Nelson thought it was a lock for him.

With the help of folks like Snipes in Broward County and who knows who in Palm Beach County....yeah, I bet he did think it was a lock.

Scum rat describes his own vicious lying party.

Love how these politicians will always say, “We have to move beyond the politics of divisiveness...” and then take a swing at Trump.

“We have to move beyond a politics that aims not just to defeat but to destroy,” Mr. Nelson’s said. “Where truth is treated as disposable, where falsehoods abound, and the free press is assaulted as the ‘enemy of the people.’”

So stop doing it Bill!

The Blue Wave overtakes former US Senator "Losin Bill" Nelson:

You know, when Darren McGavin, as Carl Kolchak referred to the Fourth Estate, I, as a kid, had no idea what he was talking about.

Now I, as an adult, cannot believe the lying, Leni Riefenstahl-inspired, Pravda beast that the Fourth Estate has become.

“We have to move beyond a politics that aims not just to defeat but to destroy,” Mr. Nelson’s said. “Where truth is treated as disposable, where falsehoods abound, and the free press is assaulted as the ‘enemy of the people.’”

Oh, I agree, but I don't think democRats will do that any time soon.

[Garvin]

Don’t go away mad, just go away.
