Man, I need my sunglasses, the tin-foil hats are causing a lot of glare around here. I love how everyone is saying that the "states" are proposing to succeed, as if it were a state government sanctioned action and not the hurumphing of a few angry old white guys.

The will of the people.

You guys have no understanding of what that means - you see everything from your own view -- blind following of a leader. We're talking something more like democracy, people-rule.

Not a single vote for Romney in several precincts in Pennsylvania & in Ohio?

Sounds like a case of voter fraud to me.

Yea. Landslide. What you'd call it had Romney won by the same amount.

It really comes down to many fewer than 3 million -- because of the electoral votes and the so-called swing states. It's only the voters in those swing states that got him elected -- and some of those were quite close.

With all the damage Obama is doing to the economy and how little he cares about the American people, the midterm elections may be interesting. The welfare crowd obviously believes that spending can just keep going up and up and up and Obama can destroy the taxpaying class and all will be great.
Apathy, huh? The sad thing is how you're twisting it. Obama got less votes....FAR LESS votes than he got in 2008, with a poor economy, and he still TROUNCED Romney, and did so in easy fashion. Romney wasn't even in the game.

Then, you start with the "welfare crowd" stuff again. SMH...

And of course, that's the same kind of talk that got you guys in trouble in this election to begin with. But you guys just can't help yourselves.

Oh, you mean like how MORE people voted for the President than for Mr. Romney. That kind of "people-rule?"

If you don't vote in an election, your opinion quite literally doesn't count. You've left it to the actual voters to make your decision for you.

So if someone didn't vote, for whatever reason, they do not count as part of the voting population, and they can not used to pad population numbers to artificially narrow the margin of victory for a winning candidate.

More like the will of the sore losers. I think this is just as funny as the "other side" declaring they're moving to Canada after their guy lost.

Grow up, folks, Obama won, there was no "voter suppression" on his side, Mittens lost both the popular and electoral vote. You just can't get your immature little heads around that fact, can you?

This kind of RW nuttery is what's screwing up the GOP.

So very sad, and so very funny.

I'd say it's more the most embarrassing moment in the history of the GOP. I've never so many tantrums thrown in my life.

So what political party do you think most of these petition starters belong to? Who are wasting our time with this nonsense?

Why are all you red-staters still here typing on your laptops?? Don't you have a new government to plan and bunkers to build?

So typical. All talk - no action.

I'm not holding my breath for your guys to leave but it sure would be a refreshing change.

Buh-bye.
