I wish I'd had the presence of mind to vote Greg Graffin as a write-in.

"What we got was a weak moderate candidate handpicked by the Beltway elites and country-club establishment wing of the Republican Party. The presidential loss is unequivocally on them," she said.
Sweetheart, your people are the reason you lost.

And, in a direct slap at Lugar's reputation for working out deals with Democrats, Mourdock said, "I don't think there's going to be a lot of successful compromise. I hope to build a conservative majority in the U.S. Senate so bipartisanship becomes Democrats joining Republicans to roll back the size of government." Mourdock lost to Democrat Joe Donnelly.
You've gotta love the dry humor embedded in that final line's inclusion to cap off the paragraph.

I don't think Tea Partiers understand what bipartisan actually means.

I think Tea Partiers are misunderstood in general.

EDIT: I think I fucked it up. But you know what I mean.

And just when you thought this thread could safely be lain to rest ...

Quote:
On Sunday, Phillips proposed an action plan -- getting Electoral College voters in states won by Romney to boycott the validation of the election result by the December 17 deadline.

"The 12th Amendment specifies the quorum or the necessary number of states for the College to act, is 2/3," Phillips wrote. "In other words, if 17 states refuse to participate, the Electoral College does not have a quorum."

Without a quorum to decide the presidency, he continued, the Republican-led U.S. House will decide and presumably choose Romney. Phillips acknowledged such a move would set a "dangerous precedent," but added that "the situation is so grim we really have no other choice."
Quote:
The next day, Phillips sounded more resigned, lamenting what he called "the triumph of liberalism in America" that he said was "destroying our national unity and by extension destroying the freedom."

"In America, until now we have always identified ourselves as Americans," he wrote. "The balkanization that has been pushed by the hard left has one goal in mind. That is the end of America as a great nation. They are perilously close to succeeding."

It is stupefying just how backwards this guy's head is screwed on.

Balkanization: n. Broken up into smaller and often hostile units. (Merriam-Webster)

I'm sorry, who decided they wanted to secede from the USA because their candidate lost?
