Exit Polls
-
Just about everyone I came into contact with today saw that O'Reilly clip and thought, "Wooowwwww. What an asshole."
But according to you, a flawless summation of the nation's ills.

A great rule in politics is that usually when someone tells you "take your blinders off" they're the ones who are blind and have nothing to say.
Though it is funny how universally accepted is the premise that Democrats don't know we have a fiscal crisis on our hands and now that Obama is elected we're going to go right off the cliff, when, of course, this election was partly won because President Obama's ideas - which, yes, were vague and incomplete during the campaign - on how to address the problem were preferred over Mitt Romney's.
About 2/3rds of Americans prefer the Clinton-era tax rates to the Bush-era tax rates. That's what Obama campaigned on. Romney campaigned on lowering them way beyond the Bush tax cuts and then paying for all of this in fantasy land.
Obama won.
Let's not forget that Obama and Boehner were close to a deal on this stuff. They've just got to get a little closer.
So you guys can just shut up about how you're the only people who can do math and liberals are just gleefully driving the car over the cliff. If last night taught us anything it's that Republicans are in denial and can't do basic math.

Yeah, Obama won- I'm over it already. I certainly hope the "fiscal illiterate" (not my thinking, but it fits) buys a clue and figures out you can't spend your way to prosperity.
Obama= 1 trillion in make work jobs- got us nowhere. There's your math. Screwed over the bond holders of GM to suck up to UAW = Michigan win.
Know what? You have no idea where I'm coming from. If you'd care to explain (in any realistic manner) how any party is going to pay off the $50+k per capita national debt we've rung up without hyperinflation, be my guest. Getting rid of 75% of the bureaucracy would be a start- but I did say realistic.
Furthermore, I have NO, NONE, NADA objection to higher tax rates- (IMHO that was one of the primary reasons Romney lost)-Hmmm- class warfare 0bama very effectively used- tax cuts for those big bad rich people, nice suck up to the dumb asses that don't know any better. As I'm sure you're not in that boat- confiscating 100% of every dollar earned by "the rich" isn't going to put a dent in the deficit.
If you want to use those extra $$ to pay down the debt- instead of creating yet another bureaucracy- like Obamacare, count me on board. Too bad Washington has shown, if you have any available money- a way will be found to spend it. (PS as a Healthcare worker myself- go ask around with people involved in the profession, and see if they think it's a good idea.) My bet is 90% NOT!!!

Why do you always do that? Aren't you a grown man?
You write something that's so devoid of anything interesting or meaningful. It's just recycled cant. It makes me miserable to read it. And then in the next post you tell me that it's so genius I can't stand it.
Why don't you accept that I think you're all sorts of wrong? Because I think you're all sorts of wrong. It's not "truth" by anyone's standard but your own.

You sound like a philandering husband trying to lie his way out of it and getting mad at his wife when she doesnt buy the lies.
Or more like a used car salesman pissed off when the mark walks.
You can take the coalition that Obama build made up of serious group of under performers.
blacks, Mexicans ( Cubans trend Republican) and other immigrants who have friends and or family who are illegal, single mothers and young people.
Regardless of your talking points these groups are least likely to be gainfully employed and most likely to want more and more government benefits.
But people like you need to pretend that its people like me who make their lives miserable.
It's only because you are un able to refute the simple fact you rail at me.
By the way your comrades at the party cell don't like Bill O'Reilly
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

By the way Hoorta, I'd have no problem with raising the top rate to 39 percent either
It won't bring up much income unless you close some loopholes but I think the Democrats know that.
It's just a bullet in the campaign class warfare Arsenal.
By the way I'd insist that pittance be put toward the national debt.
But there's not a chance in hell that would happen.

Well, we've reached another tiresome dead end. You can rant about this fever swamp crap all you like, and then congratulate yourself on how unassailable it is. I've wasted enough of my time.
Have a nice holiday season.

Mine as well pal.
Funny it always seems to end this way.
But remember an ugly when is still a win.
I accept the loss of the election just won't accept your silly spin or denial of the truth.
So I'm sorry you are angry and I'm sorry for ruining the world.
But if it makes you feel better I will email the Fisher House receipt to your G mail account.
And I promise to free all my slaves as soon as the hops are picked.

Just tell me what was ugly about the win.
Also, you think I'm angry? I'm not angry. I just want to get on with the celebrating. We just pasted you. Everything but Michele Bachmann went our way. I'm as happy as a clam.

The divisive us vs. them mentality is as ugly as ugly gets, heck. It is prevalent in both republicans and democrats. Think you vs Steve, or Cal vs Woody. Only true moderates like myself seem to be able to see things from both sides. Now is the time for acceptance and the hand of compromise and friendship in all matters. A very famous quote comes to mind. It's as true now as when it was spoken.
"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

It gets a lot uglier than me pointing out that the Democrats won big, Cysko. It gets much uglier than that.

Don't be so self centered. Not everything is about you. It's the country as a whole.
-
But you did prove me right by saying "we beat you big" you didn't beat anyone, nor did you win anything. Neither did Steve lose anything. But you want to associate yourself with the winner and steve with the loser and thereby create further divisiveness by saying ha ha I won you lost
-
That's kind of ridiculous, man. Let's not pretend there aren't two parties, two sides, and that my side didn't just won. I'm not.
He was asking me why I was so angry, and I was telling him why I'm so not. It's really not that big a deal.
-
Not at all. It's what's necessary for the two sides to heal and work together. Not more cocky we won we won rah rah rah bullshit. I'd be saying the same thing if romney won. The partisanism must end
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
Is wanting to execute the entire Libyan gov't based on what turned out to be false information a "true moderate" position? Or that one of our foreign policy tenets should be "Fuck Israel"?
Sometimes, it seems like folks mistake their inchoate political opinions for being part of some sensible, vital center. It sure isn't.

Hey alo, I was a serviceman sometimes you get upset over shit like that. And yes, fuck Israel, if they want us to fight the wars they want won for them. You cherry pick stuff obviously, where were you when we talked gun control and abortion?

If benghazi didn't get your blood up you never served.

Busy. But now I'm home sick so I have time to troll.

I didn't serve, and it still did. But I also try to be informed about an issue before I spout an opinion.
