Well, it's done. Whether Romney won or lost on his own merits or not is immaterial. Obama won, and he did it with the help of 70% of my fellow Jews. I want to remind those idiots of the example of the Judenrat of the Warsaw Ghetto, the SonderKommando of Auschwitz. Jews helped other Jews die with no fuss or muss for their killers. They did so to save their own skins. Perhaps the stakes were not quite life and death last night. That remains to be seen. But what does remain is this: 70% of American Jews actually voted...

Catholic Conservatives and the Obama’s re-electionby Annalex These are a few thoughts that I have, as a Catholic layman and American nationalist. I am also a monarchist, and so I recognize the basic futility of a democratic political process in a culturally divided electorate: the country has been for the past several election cycles largely ungovernable because it has lost a common ethical consensus. However, even in this predicament, elections serve a useful purpose. That is because regardless of the efficacy of the democratic process, politics remain one tool available to us to forestall a national collapse, and, possibly, cause...

Rep. John Tierney (D-Mass.) narrowly beat Republican challenger Richard Tisei to claim a ninth term. The GOP hoped Tisei would pick up a seat in left-leaning Massachusetts. An openly gay Republican, Tisei had the support of Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

MSNBC's Chris Matthews has been unhinged for awhile. He is continually proving to be off the deep end, and does not disappoint with his most recent comment, "I'm so glad we had that storm last week." Last week, Matthews referred to people who question man-made global warming (or is it "climate change?") as "pigs." This week, he is thrilled about a storm that has caused people their lives and property, all because of his perception that the storm boosted President Obama's re-election chances. Even Rachel Maddow let out a little gasp at his comment, and Lawrence O'Donnell (who recently reported...

WASHINGTON (CNNMoney) -- Even with the same president, the United States will have a new Treasury Secretary. Tim Geithner, the last holdover from President Obama's original economic team, has indicated he's ready to leave after four tumultuous years. With Obama's victory, Geithner is expected to resign soon, but Treasury officials are mum on the details.

Obama wins with the Catholic vote November 7, 2012 By Deacon Greg Kandra Details, from Catholic News Agency: The Catholic vote was divided much as was the rest of the nation’s voters, leaning slightly in favor of Obama. A final Gallup poll, reflecting tracking from Nov. 1 to 4, showed Catholics favoring Obama by 52 to 45 percent.“The Catholic vote, like any number of votes, does have the potential to make an impact,” said Gregory Smith, a senior researcher who specializes in Catholic politics at the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion and Public Life.While they do not vote as...

This National Election was one battle that was lost by those who seek to Conserve what Good is left of America. At best, this loss will help us in the future to avoid the obvious mistakes made in the past. There will be other battles in the future, and our goal will be to win more of those battles than we tie or lose. The purpose of our future battles is to win the WAR, just as Breitbart had warned us. On the positive side we need to list what the problems are. On the negative side we need to...

Herman Cain called the United States a “divided nation” on Wednesday, saying that half the voters ignored the big issues. “We are a divided nation, not on political ideology the way it may have been several decades ago,” the former GOP presidential candidate said on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom.” “We are divided on class warfare, we are divided racially, we’re divided in a whole lot of other ways in terms of small things, not the big things.” Cain criticized half of the electorate for ignoring the “substance” and focusing instead on what he characterized as less substantive matters. “I...

What now Ann, nominate more RINOs ?

According to one Tea Party leader, the reason for Mitt Romney’s loss to President Barack Obama is that he was not conservative enough and was “weak-kneed” and a throwback to Bob Dole and John McCain. The President Bush’s were not named, however. In a press statement, entitled “Tea Party Vows "No Retreat" and a subtitle “Promise to search out candidates with clear conservative records; no more Dole-McCain-Romney nominees”, the group leaders said the following:

Congratulations on the four more years, Mr. President. To celebrate, Goldman starts by cutting the Q4 GDP forecast from 1.9% to 1.5% (and let's not forget that the same Goldman is predicting a 15% drop in the S&P in the next two months to get the Fiscal Cliff deadlock to break). Full just released note. President Obama Wins; Slight Changes to Fiscal Policy Assumptions and Forecast BOTTOM LINE: The election has produced a status quo election outcome. We are changing the fiscal policy assumptions in our forecast, to assume expiration of the upper-income tax cuts. MAIN POINTS: 1. President Obama...

Even before a winner was declared in the presidential contest, Sarah Palin sounded a pessimistic note on Tuesday night, saying that a second term for President Barack Obama will mean a “catastrophic” blow to the economy. “Unfortunately, we know what we will get with four more years of President Obama,” the former GOP vice presidential nominee told Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren. “This really is a catastrophic set-back to our economy and to any opportunity that we would have for Supreme Court justices to be appointed who would be strict adherents to the traditional interpretation of what our Constitution says.”...

Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who came out long ago in favor of his party’s nominee Mitt Romney’s candidacy for president, apparently upset a lot of people on the conservative side for his embrace of Romney’s opponent, President Barack Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. And according to conservative talker Laura Ingraham, it was taken to the point of “embarrassing himself.” On her Tuesday radio program, Ingraham, the author of “Of Thee I Zing: America’s Cultural Decline,” criticized the New Jersey governor for his latest comment expressing his excitement in hearing from Obama supporter and rock star Bruce...

WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner says that the decision by voters to keep a Democrat in the White House and Republicans in control of the House means they are looking for political leaders to find common ground. The more conciliatory wording from Boehner came early Wednesday after Barack Obama secured a second term. The statement, part of a press release, contrasted with earlier statements when he said Republicans offered solutions while their opponents chose inaction. Boehner said that the elections were a mandate to take "steps together" to boost the economy. He had earlier said that the GOP's...

In one of the closest elections in Florida, freshman Republican Rep. Allen West has lost to Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy, MSNBC election projections reported early Wednesday. At 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, Murphy addressed supporters at a hotel in Palm Beach Gardens and declared victory, TCPalm.com reported.

President Barack Obama won a second term last night and must now begin the hard work of cleaning up the mess left by the man who held the office for the last four years. In his first term, Mr. Obama presided over an unprecedented expansion of the federal government. He and his Congressional accomplices increased our national debt by $5.4 trillion and burdened the country with trillion dollar deficits ever year. President Obama 2.0 will begin his term trying to fight off sequestration; the deep spending cuts and crippling tax increases due in January because he kicked the problem of...

Throughout the very long presidential election cycle, two trends remained consistent. The media lauded Obama no matter how horrendous his record, and they savaged Obama’s Republican contenders as ridiculous pretenders. From the start of the Republican race in 2011, every candidate who took the lead then took an unfair beating. They even slimed Sarah Palin in case she decided to run. Martin Bashir announced she was “vacuous, crass, and according to almost every biographer, vindictive too.” Newsweek mocked Michele Bachmann on its cover, making her look pale, confused and nutty, with the headline “The Queen of Rage.” Politico and other...

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will deliver a statement Wednesday afternoon on the need for both Republicans and Democrats to find some agreement to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff — a combination of tax hikes and spending cuts that are scheduled for 2013. Boehner's office said he would call on both sides to seek "common ground" to help the economy and create jobs, which in turn would help reduce the national debt. Boehner is scheduled to speak at 3:30 p.m. in the Capitol. He'll speak just hours after Republicans maintained their hold on the House of Representatives. Leaders from both parties...

OK, is there now any doubt that the next republican presidential candidate MUST be a hispanic? IMO, there is zero chance of a republican garnering more than 5% of the black vote, and, apparently, we now have so many single women who are government-dependent that a republican cannot overcome the gender gap to any significant degree. Since the nation seems to have been irretrievably divided up into disparate voting blocks and interest groups, it seem to me there is no other choice for the republicans than to spend the next 4 years in an all out campaign to win over...
