I am usually pretty unmoved by presidential election results, however and because all the hate mongering by right wing extremists, this time I will enjoy every moment of it, I will tune to Fox network and enjoy as I see all those idiots salivating in rage while making all kinds of outrageous accusations and excuses, as the election approaches these idiots, i.e. hannity, O'reilly, limbaugh, all the fox brain-dead bimbos, etc, cling to any hope by magnifying the stupidest situations surrounding barack, they will then go on the day after the elections with their hate as usual, which will only seal the victory for Hilary in 2016, the gop is soooo dead, lol

I'm with you there, I'm going to be grinning ear to ear watching the right wing nutcases completely lose it
In referring to the GOP professionals, I really don't think so.
They've known all along that this was not going to be their year. Just look at the collection of has-beens and jokers they put up for the presidency. We all know what a weak candidate Romney has turned out to be, but can you imagine what Gingrich, Perry, or Cain would be like? I'm convinced the full-time Republicans {the guys behind the scenes who work for the GOP} knew that they never had a chance at this election unless some terrible event gave them an opening.
But the absolute brain-dead baloney they've been spouting not only in the presidential campaign, but in senate races as well, has doomed their chances for taking the senate and possibly opened the way for Dems to retake the house, too.
But, unlike their dittohead followers, these guys are adults and hopefully they'll learn something from the electoral beating they're about to absorb. America works best with two functional political parties. And functional comes nowhere close to describing the current state of the GOP.
Extree Extree! Read All About-iT! Git'chur recently minted Toilet pap... er, I mean... US Greenbacks here!"
About 7 years after I'd immigrated (legally, btw...) to this country from socialistá Canada, I did the naturalization thing, becoming a very proud American citizen. I stepped out of the LA Convention Center in 1995, fresh new citizenship in my hands, and immediately signed up for the Republican Party.
I and many others did this, while the signup table for the Democrat Party was largly ignored. Reason is that too many of these immigrant people had fled their socialist homelands, where government had grown so large and intrusive as to be just that. Intrusive. And with too large an agenda to eventually control, through ever-more "intrusive" (there's that word again...) legislation and cultural management.
I now see signs of that here with the Democrats, and with people who relentlessly assume that all human behavior, even the abberant stuff like criminality, can be legislated, either out of existence, or into the sphere of governmental control. This has been demonstrably proven to NOT WORK, people, no matter how initially soothing the concept might be for you.
Imagine: no more employment problems, no running out of personal funds at the end of every month, no problems with either employment or with being perhaps terminated, since the governments will always step in with "the Dole". And with "Free" health care (Don't get me wrong: we MUST HAVE basic government-managed health care, just not the totally uncontrolled massive government bureaucratic system such as has gown, unfettered, in Canada & Britain & Australia and Europe, where again, dear readers, it's created a bankrupt and wildly inefficient system that results on many folks getting quickly sicker from their experiences with Government Health Care.
As a country, we need a Basic Health Model available to all, plus the choice to up-option your coverage with additional extra coverages, managed by a not-for-profit organization that also properly compensates doctors (again, unlike in Canada). Then, a vigorous and very punitive management system for those who do engage in Welfare and Health Care fraud, which is rampant on Canada, for example.)
And then we'll also have to address our outrageous illegal immigration issues. Let 'em come in legally, as I did, but not as they all do now, and then have their kids in our hospitals, for free! These are the kids who should NOT then automatically become auto-citizens, free-loading on the medical and later welfare, system. After all, what part of the word ILLEGAL do people not understand?
Sadly, such management paradigms always become malignant and then quickly run the exponential growth pattern with their greedy fiscal needs. Government tends to always want to enlarge itself, and to "grow with the times!", as one fanciful "libby" once told me.
Sadly, the alternative here, the Republicans, also have their little issues. Their intent to let the market manage the country, is intended, solely, to make the rich unimaginably richer, to settle the power of the people in but a few top-dog CEOs and other management. They will, if elected, gut the EPA's rules, those very efforts to put unmanaged growth for it's own greedy sake in check. To stop the contamination of our water, air and "the global thermal regime". (Global Warming, a scientifically proven fact, dear reader, despite what the illiterate likes of Rush The Moron Limbaugh will assure you... If you look closely, you can just barely make out the fine-wire puppet control lines from Rush's mouth up to his Republican controllers...)
As well, they will open the financial markets further, with ever-more deregulation, which is just another way to say the Big Boyz can do whatever they frickin' well want to do with your's and our government's (which is also "ours", btw...) investment money.
As well, they will re-org the global workforce to get the most production, especially without environmental regs, or without any checks on child slavery, per unti of their overhead money.
And so, Im left with a real quandary. Vote for Obama the socialist, a man with a pent-up desire to create a New-World socialistá government here, just like in Europe and Canada, or the Romney-ites, who will assuredly wreck the world for the rest of us, with their wanton greed-based economic model.
We cannot return, ever, to the pre-2008 model of our Western US economy, btw. No-one is ever going to load up their credit cards and second/third mortgages to the max, EVER again. Who'd want to undergo all this again. And again?
So yes, there will most definitely be a new world order, but not before utter chaos hits us up-side the head, in to correct these global inequities.
BNTw, Romney is a disgrace. He has single-handedly created su ch a problem for the voters by being just who he so obviously is: a changling, conveniently "chameleonizing" his appearances and perspectives as the moment dictates. Obama, on the other hand, is a particularly egregious and ineffective Slick Willy type of barely concealed socialist, out to make the ever-dwindling supply of achievers pay for the ever-growing cohort of under-achievers.
As in: My work = your income. How special! But... uhmmm... nope; sorry.
BTW, Romney was, to a large extent (tho' his exact percentage numbers were wrong..) correct about a large percentage of the lazy, overweight US public not wanting to get out and work a full day's honest work, but who would far rather live off the country's largesss.
That source of recently-printed money, now-a-days backed solely by the word, essentially, of our POTUS, that "It's OK: trust me: we're good for it!"

Dittohead followers? You can always count on the left to be insulting. And before you say anything about the "radical" right that does the same thing, I also denounce their childishness.
I think they are getting more and more concerned about mittens mental health. Ann Romney said it herself. Willard is not mentally prepared. She is worried

While Obama has an overwhelming electoral lead, and Romney seems to be collapsing in the swing states, still it's no time to get complacent, and I for one will continue to donate money and effort right up until election day.
That said, what to do about the right wing nutters... not simply Republicans and conservatives, but the 'base' of my-way-or-the-highway ideologues... who are already making excuses (*******s, "stupid" voters, the black & illegal vote, the "dependent" 47%, etc.), and sharpening their knives for when Obama wins?
And since these types are obviously impossible to dialogue or reason with, and its so-o-o-o tempting to wanna gloat and ridicule 'em (especially after all their hatred and vitriol the past 4 years), maybe the best thing to do, is the same strategy one uses with "trolls" anywhere, which is to basically ignore and ostracize 'em (and BTW, they really hate that the most...)!

Excellent point. Any society has this element. In Germany it is the neo-Nazis who blame everyone but themselves for their supposed "misery", and we in the US have the ignorant dittoheads blaming Obama, the government and anyone but themselves for their inability to get ahead.
I am hoping that the GOP finally wakes up and kicks these morons to the curb. The CDU party in Germany played a dangerous and similar game with the revived Nazi party. The logic was that by giving them a corner in the tent it would prevent them from gaining followers they might have otherwise gained if the CDU had disavowed them outright. Similarly, the GOP has embraced the energy and passion of a similar unwashed element but made the mistake of letting them dictate the GOP policies and candidate choices. So far aside from the moderate GOP (like Olympia Snowe and others who are derided as "RINOs") the only Republican I've seen who has read these morons the riot act has been Chris Christie. If he and similar Republicans take back the party we might return to some form of normalcy in the US.
