Obama got his “revenge,” but conservatives must stand tall
We have so much to be proud of tonight:
*Diligent Tea Party activists grew the limited government movement and organized — producing winning candidates across the country at the local, state, and national levels.
*A new generation of citizen activists online helped contribute to the vigilant policing of media bias and White House lies on everything from Fast and Furious to Solyndra to Benghazi.
*Conservative women pushed back more forcefully than ever against Democrat femme-a-gogues and Planned Parenthood promoters.
*Small business owners, Republican blue-collar workers, minority conservatives, young conservatives, religious liberty advocates, and growing numbers of Hollywood conservatives all stood up and made their voices heard.
Once again, we have our work cut out for us.

The stock market tanks after Obama’s win. The dow is down 250 points in just the first few hours of trading. The S&Ps are down over 26 points. Obamacare is here to stay and it will be here tomorrow too. And so the downfall begins.

let’s be honest, it’s been falling for sometime.

Obama’s real revenge is yet to come. A couple more supreme court appointments, no checks or balances other than a toothless dog of a house of representatives to provide a bump in the road or two. that’s all folks.

You want me to love ignorance, lawlessness and dependency? No. Never.

Alright, Hawkdriver, I went to your link. We now have the Tea Party, The Conservative Party, the Constitution Party, etc. Part of our problem is that the conservative movement is fractured and fighting against itself. How do we get all these splinter groups, which all have fundamentally the same foundations, to coalesce into a unified voting block?

I’m getting my revenge…
Going Galt:
Maxing my pre-tax contributions and buying precious metals. And I just got a job in Austin, TX. One less wage slave in California. America rejected the traditional American view of what creates prosperity. They want big government, give it to them. The implementation of Obamacare is going to bring about 21st century stagflation. I hope they enjoy it in California!

We’ve accepted the notion of a two party system only because the politicians and the MSM tells us so. We all said that if mittness won, we’d have to ride herd on him. Well, seeing what we’re left with, were have to go hard on what GOP politicians left that this is their last chance. One possible fix for the primaries is to score it on our top three choices that way we’re more likely to get winners more representative of our picks. Akin would not have won if the tea partiers were split on two other candidates — if he was the third choice of the 60% that did not vote for him.
Barring that, bid adios to the GOPe come 2014 and see if they recalibrate.

Cliff’s Notes version: “Moral victory! Yay us!”
Nice try, MM, but I’m done. It’s God, guns, and gold for me from here going forward.
