If there is one thing Romney has demonstrated throughout the campaign, it is an utter lack of spine.

Have to admit, he gave a gracious and heartfelt speech...had he shown this sort of grace throughout the campaign, things might have ended up differently tonight.

Re. 45142 -

For that matter, we're all liars.

Saying 'Romney lied' is a meaningless insult without some sort of context. I'm surprised you style yourself as 'thoughtful' displaying that type of mental incontinence.

45147. concerned - 11/7/2012 8:07:42 AM

Well, this didn't take long. Dollar falling in Asia and...

US falls to 12th Place in World Prosperity Index

Future credit downgrades now assured with 0bama win. I don't expect any of this to matter to the narrowly self centered.

Oh please...even Michael Steele is showing more grace in defeat than you are...

The automaker says any additional work in China is related to demand for cars that would be sold in China.

How is this not also production of cars? If so, Romney would not seem to have been lying.


So how would we make Romney a 'liar' here?


Chrysler would have to find a way to meet a 'demand for cars that would be sold in China' while 'working on' but *without* 'producing' cars - that might make Romney a liar. Problem is, there's no practical way to do that.

I'm personally supposed to be 'Defeated' by the poor choices of majority of the electorate? I'm truly honored, but I don't see it.

So I'm not 'gracious' enough regarding our national train wreck?


I'm so, so sorry. Just put up with it.

oops double post this is sort of pointless anyway. I'll try to stay as clear as possible from our national future swirling down the drain. bye.

Glad I stayed up for Obama's speech...outstanding!

45155. judithathome - 11/7/2012 9:13:30 AM

Con'd, for the past 4 years you have vilified this president and heaped abuse on the heads of those of us who supported him...now, at the first sign of disappointment because you backed the wrong guy, you leave the sandbox in a most unbecoming snit.

Buck up, buddyboy...surely you can dredge up more vitriol and misinformation and continue to post...don't let it get you down; only four more years until your guys can try it again!

Love you Con'd!

JAH -

This is the 'American Politics' thread, and dissent from the nonsense and ignorance that is a core part of the 0bama agenda is to be expected.

The supporters of the worst leaders in history were nasty in victory, also saying that the 'wrong' guy lost. So what?

45159. concerned - 11/7/2012 4:37:46 PM

Speaking of nasty, Chris Matthews is on record now with: 'I'm So Glad We Had That Storm Last Week'

Probably did a little jig while he said that, also.

45160. concerned - 11/7/2012 4:39:49 PM

Obviously, dozens of dead US citizens and the misery of millions for weeks is a very acceptable cost to Matthews for political victory.

Very instructive as to the Leftist mindset.

45161. concerned - 11/7/2012 4:48:22 PM

Also very callous and hypocritical - from the same MSM that claimed that talking about Benghazi was exploiting the victims.

Go Girls!

from KOS:

With the victories of Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Deb Fischer (R-NE), we’ve reached an historic number of women serving in the Senate. Even with the retirements of Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), at least 18 women—a record high—will serve in the Senate starting in 2013.

Every Democratic woman incumbent Senator was re-elected, and results are still out for challengers Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Shelley Berkley (D-NV), and Heidi Heitkamp.

--------------------

The fact that 18 women out of 100 senators would be a record high is pathetic. But it's progress.

Yay numbers guy!

Nate Silver's work allowed him to essentially call all 50 states correctly in last night's vote. He correctly predicted the 49 states called by the networks Tuesday, and estimated that Florida would be essentially tied with Obama having a very slight edge. Four years ago he correctly predicted 49 of 50 states, missing only Obama's narrow win in Indiana.
