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.

Obama DOES NOT HAVE A MANDATE. It lookd like he may barely win or outright lose the popular vote....he is the lamest of lame ducks. The GOP House should treat him as such.

Right. I look forward to all the good Boner can do from his high chair, crying and bawling his eyes out. The Repub House is just as powerless as it was before the election. ObamaCare is alive and well, and will be shoved down our throats, thanks to our so-called conservative Chief Justice. Don't be so damned delusional. We are supposed to be the rational ones. Accept what has happened, and plan accordingly. I for one will be buying LOTS of ammo and trying to find a nice plot of land off the grid. Good luck to you all...

Where do u think that 10 million and more coming in the next 4 years
Come from? Takers or Makers? It is you that can’t understand what has
Just happened. NEVER in this country’s history have we had 47 percent
Of Americans on the public dole. With 4 more years of Obama that percent
Will grow. And they will continue to vote for the freebies.

We need to educate the dumbed-down masses about the real principles of liberty that the country was founded on.

Just as the left did during the long march, but in reverse.

Good point about younger voters. Obama did surprisingly poorly among the 18-29 age group that was so solidly behind him in 2008. I think I saw an exit poll saying he got only 56% of the vote in that age group. Romney won handily among older voters, too -- despite all the Democratic "Medi-scare" nonsense.

I'll tell you what's happening here, folks. This country is basically waging demographic warfare, where people in age cohorts and socio-economic groups with low unemployment rates are voting for Democrats simply to ensure that they stay employed -- regardless of the implications for the rest of America.

This is exactly what we're seeing in Europe, where people in their 40s and 50s live comfortably in protected jobs even as the unemployment rate exceeds 30% or 40% for younger people who simply can't break into "the system."

It’s past time to WHIG the GOP & start over. It’s DEAD. It’s LIBERAL. It’s as Corrupt as the DEMs Now. It’s FINISHED. Conservatives need to form a onstitutional Conservative party and defund the GOP starting now. There has to be a 180 degree difference. DEMLITE will not change anything.

Best case, dollar collapses,


Which helps my buried junk silver.

Anyone who is a student of world history and bible prophesy can easily see what’s going down now. I had my suspicions in 2008, but the veil is fully removed. No, I do not think Obama is the beast. But I suspect we will know who it is soon enough.

Ridiculous pronoucements in this thread.

If you want to claim conservatism is dead go right ahead but don’t you dare claim it is so because Romney was defeated. He is not and never was a friend to conservatism. He doesn’t have the slightest idea of what it is. you can cite his nomination for an argument but not his general election run. Even then you are on shaky ground because Republican voters have this damn foolish tendency to simply annoint next in line without regard to what they believe.

To the second point you are exactly right. Conservatives don’t form a majority. No shocker there! Hey, newsflash, neither do liberals! The difference is that when your base is happy and excited and voting for YOU and for YOUR stated campaign agenda they are more inclined to work on your behalf in convincing that 10% undecided to lean toward that party instead of the other. Those undecided gravitate to the likeable candidate everyone seems to favor. Tell me the base liked and supported McCain or Romney in any form like Dems do Obama and I’ll call you a liar. So the GOP can keep shoving these guys down out throat and the primary voters can keep marching in line to nominate them but they’ll lose until we’re given better then “at least I’m not that guy”.

We prayed that we could solve this through "the process". That the wisdom of our Founding Fathers would help us carry the day.

The answer is resoundingly "no".

We will continue to play the game. We will continue to lose because THEY don't...

You will learn this as fact. Denial is no longer allowed.

Once this has sunk in, then we can talk solutions.

So, thanks for the prayers, but they worked as well as they always do...

So God is a toy dispenser? Deposit a prayer and collect a prize?

Prayer is simply dialogue with God. It is certainly permissible to request favors from God. But we have to realize that sometimes the answer will be, "no." God always knows what's best for us. We don't.

Texas survived one Obama term, and we’ll survive another. The rest of you are screwed.

I am happy to be in Idaho. I think we are in better shape than you guys are in TX. You will be blue in a few years. Your best chance is to secede NOW.

It’s only going to get worse as the years go on. they have total control of the media.

Including FOX News and they have had it since 2008. Name me one Conservative Host in Prime Time. There isn't one. No not even Beltway Hanity.

The unemployed who used to work hard will go for conservatism. The unemployed who never really worked and have only sucked the gov’t teat will not. They cannot be weaned in any large numbers, and their numbers have grown too large to control now.

How many do you employ? My business currently has 15 on the payroll, plan to start downsizing to perhaps 9. Another option I'm considering is to close down and liquidate.
