It may not be an attack, but it's a pretty stupid thing to say, especially on a night when much of my reasoning for my anti-GOP position has been vindicated.

You were vindicated by your candidate losing an election? How do you figure?

Sheriff Joe lost.

:lol:  Forgot to mention that earlier.  I'm sure a talk show is in his future.  I guess David Clarke, Jr. gets the Top Goofy GOP Sheriff spot now.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Apparently a Somali refugee was elected to House of Representatives.

That's like learning that your toe will probably be saved, after finding out that both your feet have to be amputated.

We'll see how long that lasts.

The goofy MSNBC map guy is getting excited about Hillary possibly winning the popular vote and losing the electoral vote.  Madcow keeping a strong face.

I wonder what will happen with the Senate now, given that GOP is very likely to take it.  Would they go nuclear preemptively and completely eliminate filibuster on anything, to eliminate any kind of check on their power for at least two years?  It would seem very stupid not to, given that they've already been breaking norms to get the first-mover advantage at the risk of having it turned against them later.  You don't get the presidency and both chambers often.

If they do go nuclear, then it would once again show how dangerously naive Democrats were in 2009 by not being the first ones to do it, and how it was a tragic mistake by Obama to think that he could reason with his opponents.
