Vanity: Time to stop being down in the dumps and start planning for 2014 and 2016

OK...so Obama has won reelection. It will be bad, of that there is NO doubt. However, good can come from this.

Instead of going into a blue flunk of Obama winning reelection it is time to stop whinning and get back to work. The positives that can come from this:

(1) Romney was NOT a conservative....he was merely the anti-Obama. Folks here on FR got way too invested in a candidate that they have known for YEARS was not a conservtive....NOT one of us. It amazed me how otherwise intelligent folks became invested in a poor choice that should NEVER have gotten the nod.

(2) Obama is going to mess things up really bad...especially the economy. Because of this, Conservatives will be able to pick up many more House and Senate seats in 2014 and 2016. If Romney had of been elected, we would have lost seats. Romney may well have hurt the brand of "conservatism."

(3) IF we conservatives can stop devouring each other and develope consensus, we can help ensure a REAL conservative is the candidate for the GOP in 2016. We need to start today on that. NO MORE RINOs picked by the GOP Establishment....in fact it is way past time to throw out the GOPe! They pushed Romney on us, he was a poor choice. They need to go, and future Romneys do as well.

(4) We still have control of the House.

(5) Things are bad, but IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD PEOPLE! We haved survived worse. Somethings to make things better, they have to get worse first.

The problem for Republicans is that they lost conservatives and libertarians. As long as they are a toothless, statist party they will only lose major elections.

If the Republicans clean house and reunite conservatives and libertarians with the GOP, then there is hope.

Well said.

Obama's policies will fail. It remains to be seen what result that failure will have. He owns the results now.

As a non-believer myself, it amazes me to see so many Freepers who believe that God is in control being far more despondent tonight than am I.

Two comments:
We survived 8 years of the Clintons, we can survive 8 years of Obama.
I feel God is telling us we need a Conservative Christian to run.

Unfortunately, u are wrong.
The country just got taken over by the 47 percenters. And the number
Of takers will continue to grow in the next four years.
This country has crossed a point of no return. The numbers just don’t
Support your optimism. Sorry to say.

The upside? No more blaming Bush. lol. They’ll all try of course, but ain’t gonna fly. It is in al their laps now—the Dems, the media. Watch the fun begin. Employers are now going to start replacing full time employees with part time workers because of Obamacare. I can’t wait to enjoy the fall out of this. Better stock up on the popcorn.

Psalms 11 is a good one at this time. Krauthammer was upbeat about our future. BO has many scandals that will rain down on him. Second terms are generally not good. Benghazi will not be forgotten, especially now that he has won. God may be planning a bigger fall from grace for BO than simply losing an election.

Can we finally end this crap about god caring for this country? All that praying was very effective. Anyone who owns a gun store is pumped. Sales will be booming

I’ll kick the ass of the first one who says Chris Christie is our guy for 2016. He’s a Fluken commie DemocRAT. A fat one at that.

Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner. No more meaningful elections anyway. Just like the Venezuelans re-elected Chavez. I sincerely apologize to Venezuela. We are as bad as you and have no place to criticize. There will be elections alright, but they will be a joke.
