The Grand Election Thread

[Razgovory]

Could I get a consice, written for a 12 year old explanation of what the conservatives' hard-on about Libya is about?  I don't get it, but I've been trying not to follow the news recently.

I couldn't get much of an answer out of Derspeiss, except that the President blamed it on angry crowd for two weeks even when everyone knew it was preplanned.  I pointed out that nobody has been apprehended for the crime so nobody knows how they were organized, and second that since nobody knows, it's not exactly a big deal that people would have different theories on how it was carried out.  Derspeiss never got back to me on that.  I took to checking around the net, and a thread on FreeRepublic that Congress should impeach Obama over it though.  My guess, Republican didn't like Obama blaming the riots and stuff on an anti-Islamic movie being made.  That hits a little to close to home.

Wasn't there also claims that the PotUS could/should have flown in Marines or something?

Btw, my favorite commentator gaffe this morning on the radio: "Obama is only the second Democrat president after Bill Clinton to be re-elected."

So when do I get my Obama Phone?

Conservatives consider the post-attack trickle of information as a cover up, not as a confusing area of operations with hard-to-identify actors and no real HUMINT in a fluid, post-revolutionary country.

Everything you need to know about the conservatives POV is being said by Dan Issa.

Batshit Bachmann wins.

Bachmann, whose controversial statements leading up to the election included accusing President Obama of "apology and appeasement across the globe," was declared the winner by the Associated Press with 98 percent of precincts reporting. She led Graves, a prominent businessman, by just over 3,000 votes out of nearly 350,000 votes cast.

Lovely.

The exit poll largely told the story. In the nineteen-to-twenty-nine age group, Obama won sixty per cent of the vote. He got ninety-three per cent of the black vote, seventy per cent of the hispanic vote, and seventy-five per cent of the Asian vote. Fifty-six per cent of women voted for him, as did sixty-three per cent of unmarried people, two-thirds of secular voters, and about four-fifths of gays and lesbians. Romney carried fifty-nine per cent of white voters (male and female); a majority of all Americans aged forty-five or over; and fifty-seven per cent of married people. In ideological terms, Obama forged a liberal-moderate course to victory. Despite his post-Convention lurch to the center, Romney couldn't win over enough self-identified moderates. In that group, Obama took fifty-seven per cent of the vote.

Linda McMahon lost the Senate race. Wrestling might be good again.

A cover up of what?  Republicans are like Arafat was, they say one thing for general public consumption and another to the rank in file.  Maybe Issa thinks that Vince Foster's killer was behind it.

Batshit Bachmann wins.

That's good for Dems, she'll keep firing up donations while not having any actual influence.

I'm pretty sure Mitt Romney will survive.  The man is building an elevator for his cars. for Christ's sake.  A net wealth of $250 million is one hell of a pillow to cry in.

Who let you out of the straightjacket?

Ed Shultz dropped by, and gave me a Big Labor reach-around while we watched Hoffa in the nude, feeding me brats like grapes.  It was divine.

I wake up and I read this.

Good morning, sunshine.

Life sucks in Obama's America.
