First whole states close in 12 minutes.

[retrokitten]

That’s exactly right! We will go on and we will get the job done!

I don’t know about you guys, but I can totally see Obama doing something so completely idiotic that it motivates freepers and other conservatives to march on DC at some point in the next 4 years.

[Arizona Carolyn]

OMG are you watching FOX? Huge crowd outside the WH celebrating Obama’s win... this is scaring the crap out of me.

[concerned about politics]

Starve the beast.

I love this as a slogan for the next four years.

Who is John Gault?

Stop spending money. A penny saved is a presidency earned.

[mrsmel]

I second that. I don’t need cable, I don’t need TV.

[conservativebabe]

I’ve said that too.

Civil unrest is coming

[Mr Ramsbotham]

FR is my last refuge.

I'm with you on that. And I think a big reason for the slow response times was the fact that so many of us now prefer to get our news from sites like this one, rather than suffer the tripe put out by the mainstream media.

[micheknows]

I don't know how to post a picture, so I did a link. I edited an old bumper sticker I had found.

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

That is one of my favorite lines from my favorite movie. Thanks for posting it.

[advertising guy]

I actually think Pennsylvania sells pickeled asshole on store shelves..Murtha’s victory proves someone is buyin it.

[goodnesswins]

"to become self-sustaining, and contribute as little as possible to his gimme fund."

Can you say....UNDERGROUND economy!!!????

[Sparky760]

i have never seen anything this scary in my life....it’s like watching a cult. These people are out of their minds

[retrokitten]

Civil unrest is coming

Does that mean I can go loot the Taco Bell? (I'm sorta hungry)

[TXBlair]

Yes, I had to turn off Fox, too. I checked in with CSPAN a little while ago, which was fine. But then they announced that Zero’s speech is coming soon, so the TV is off for the night. God bless FR. RIP America.

[Diogenesis]

In the darkness of the enigmatic birthcertificate,
the widespread ACORN fraud in many states not even
considered, the failure to count military votes,
perhaps someday in retrospect, the concession might
have been wrong.

[Arizona Carolyn]

There is going to be major buyers remorse in a year or so.....

[goodnesswins]

I have been spending like no tomorrow....like it was Dec 31, 1999, and we didn’t know whether goods would be available.....NOW I will stop.....

[dougherty]

Murtha wins.

What?! How can this guy insult his constituents and they re-elect him? Obama made his 'bitter' comment and they voted for him as well. I don't understand!

[retrokitten]

I don’t even think it will take that long. Probably by June.

[conservativebabe]

Get me a gordita while you’re there will ya?

haha

[Marathoner]

It’s too bad that not enough of us are in a position to disengage from the economy as producers, and let the racist marxist figure out how to fund his bread and circuses.

I tell you what, whatever it takes I won't pay this SOB one more damn penny in FIT than I'm paying now. Whatever it takes, up to and including shall we say taking liberties with my return.
