It will be some time before we know how many have learned the appropriate lessons from the this recently-completed farce of a fake election.

Here's a couple appropriate lessons.

First, attempts to "unskew" the media bias out of polls was utterly ignorant and stupid. Conservatives who believed this nonsense were beyond gullible. Whichever side is whining about polls is losing.

Second, 3rd party's continue to fail utterly in this country. We are built around a 2 party, winner take all system with no opportunity for coalition government. Your 3rd party run for President predictably bombed spectacularly. Your apparent .02% of the vote (almost all in California) appears to be even less than Rocky Anderson of the Justice party managed to get.

There are a lot more appropriate lessons, but those are a good place to start.

What I'm getting out of what you said is that the Republican party screwed the pooch and LOST.

I also get that you are angry about that.

Is that accurate?

Well, as pathetic as my vote totals were, you got the exact same result, notwithstanding all your vaunted money and power. We both lost. The margin is completely irrelevant in the end.

And I didn’t spend one dime of my own or anyone else’s money to do it. What did Romney and his pals shell out, a cool billion?
