I am soooooo happy that Romney and Opie lost - and lost decisively!!!! 8-)
and I am so proud of FL that when our crook gov Scott did everything dirty that he could to suppress the vote, he just made our voters even more resolved to vote for our President. [/quote]
Very, very proud of the Floridians!!

Good article midwifespal and I agree with almost every point made. I posted the Slate article because I think that the onslaught of insane Republican media can sometimes leave their viewers a little skewed about reality and it never hurts to remind them of common sense. Here is a particularly good article from The Atlantic, 'How Conservative Media Lost to the MSM and Failed the Rank and File'

www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/11/how-conservative-media-lost-to-the-msm-and-failed-the-rank-and-file/264855/

This is so true. The extreme right had completely lost touch with reality.

A neighbor who I knew to be a Republican kept putting more and more offensive stuff on Facebook. He was obviously a Tea Party sympathizer. I resisted the urge to comment on anything until he linked a youtube video claiming that Obama was a secret Muslim plant. He then asked if it was paranoia of true?
One of his cronies said 'Wow, scary stuff!'
So I put; 'What's scary are the people who believe this stuff!'

He hasn't acknowledged me since.

The people of Florida and other states who refused to leave before they voted ,waiting hours in long lines..

reminded me of the passive resistance movement. It was so like the sit down strikes or the peaceful marches in Selma.. so proud of the incredible Americans who wouldn't take no for an answer. The right to vote is non- negotiable.
