Republicans Freaking
Out Because President Obama Won the Election
Donald Trump tweeted "Our nation is a once great nation
divided." "Our country is now
in serious and unprecedented trouble...like never before." "This election is a total sham and a
travesty. We are not a democracy!" "More votes equals a
loss...revolution!" "Lets
fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is
laughing at us." "We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this
travesty. Our nation is totally
divided." "The phoney
electoral college made a laughing stock of our nation. The loser won." He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the
election. We should have a revolution in
this country."
Now, we all know that "Mr. Comb Over Hair Do" has
to be the center of attention or he throws temper tantrums and hissy fits. What does he want people to march on
Washington for? What kind of revolution
does he envision? Another civil
war? Is he angry that he, and his
co-horts, greased people's palms to buy the election and failed to get the
intended return on his investment? Perhaps he is angry that he did not get the
chance to say "You're Fired!" to the president as he likes to say on
the Apprentice. GET OVER IT,
TRUMP!!!! Barack H. Obama is still the
President of the United States of America.
Go get a new hair do or do something worthwhile for this country except
show your unmitigated ignorance.
Amazingly, or maybe not, he was not the only idiot spewing venom last
night and today. Here are a few more
tweets and quotes:
“There a lot of disappointed folks. We worry that there won’t be another
Republican president after this. It’s a sad day in history. We’re hoping that
Texas will secede.” (a disappointed Texas woman to young child)
“He’s going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the
United States to the U.N., and what is going to happen when that happens?” ...
I’m thinking the worst. Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe. And
we’re not just talking a few riots here and demonstrations, we’re talking
Lexington, Concord, take up arms and get rid of the guy. Now what’s going to
happen if we do that, if the public decides to do that? He’s going to send in
U.N. troops. I don’t want ‘em in Lubbock County. OK. So I’m going to stand in
front of their armored personnel carrier and say, ‘You’re not coming in here.’
And the sheriff, I’ve already asked him, I said, ‘You gonna back me?’ He said,
‘Yeah, I’ll back you.’ Well, I don’t want a bunch of rookies back there. I want
trained, equipped, seasoned veteran officers to back me.” (Judge Tom Head, a Texas Judge)
"Im really looking forward to a doubled debt, higher
gas prices & the government trying to take away my guns!"
"Notice to all patients, Prepare for LONG LINES &
government denial of care. That's what you have voted for today. Hope you Love
Obamacare"
"Way to ruin the country Obama voters you got your
wish. I hope you can all live in the hell he is going I create"
"at what point does secession get put on the
table?"
"I am honestly scared for the future of this country if
Obama is re-elected and am seriously considering moving to a different
country..."
"This country is doomed."
"Well we're screwed.. Don't know how this country can
give such a failure of a president a second term.. I've lost hope in the
electorate.."
"ONLY glimmer of hope I had for this country &
economy was ROMNEY/RYAN- w/o them we're gonna lose our rights to this commie
regime"
"I am so disgusted, sad and disturbed by the results
tonight. I am afraid and sad for the future of our Country. Too many stupid
people."
"I'm gonna go pray to just survive the next 4 years and
for the country to still exist and be the land of the free and home of the
brave."
"I can't stop crying :( I can't believe this world. You
people are idiots. Still for #RomneyRyan2012."
"I am honestly sick to my stomach. I have lost all hope
in America as a nation. Its time we start to feel sorry for ourselves."
"A thousand years of darkness begins tonight"
"America died."
"Loadin up on guns, gas, mudgrips, and some Copenhagen
to prepare for the next four years."
"I fear more of the same. More government, more ways of
taxing and getting money for different things. Because they’re going to want
more things so they’re going to find ways of getting it." (New Yorker)
"It will slow or deter our recovery. I (would have
liked) to see a business person run the country like a business. I think that
would (have been) a big change — where profits and losses matter, and you don’t
spend it if you don’t have it. You know, like we all live." (New Yorker)
"I'm moving to Australia, because their president is a
Christian and actually supports what he says."
"The fact that there is a concession speech, not
widespread violence, happening now is a testament to America's greatness."
"I feel sorry
for Mitt Romney, but sorrier the country will never have him as
president." (Ann Coulter)
"Well, at least we know for sure where America
stands. On her knees and with her hands
out." (Kevin Sorbo)
"By the way, did I mention that Obama is an incredibly
shitty president?" (Dennis Miller)
"BClinton: b/c of Obama, American military now
"less racist, less sexist & less homophobic." Whoops! He forgot "less
well-funded." (Fred Thompson, former Senator)
"This election is crazy" (LeAnn Rhimes Cibrian)
"At least the president can't blame this mess he's
"inheriting" on anyone but himself!" (Patricia Heaton)
"Next 4 yrs...20 Tril debt, 7.9% unemployment, Global
taxation, and everything will still be Bush's fault." (Jenna Jameson)
"I'm going to watch our economy collapse and move to
Colorado where I will have a joint and light it with a trillion dollar
bill." (Janelle Pierzina)
"good morning Greece. Oh... I mean America."
(Elisabeth Hasselbeck)
"Any thoughts? Who will 2nd term Obama blame the last
four years on?" (Glenn Beck)
"The good news is the promise of continued massive
unemployment among young people." (Ann Coulter)
"America died." (Victoria Jackson)
"Goodluk America u just voted for economic &
spiritual suicide. Soulless fools."
(Ted Nugent)
"Small things beat big things yesterday... Conservatism ... did not lose last night ...
It is practically impossible to beat Santa Claus. People are not going to vote
against Santa Claus, especially if the alternative is being your own Santa
Claus... I went to bed last night thinking, 'we're outnumbered'. I went to bed
last night thinking we'd lost the country. I don't know how else you look at
this. The first wave of exit polls came in at five o'clock. I looked at it, and
I said ... 'this is utter BS, and if it isn't, then we've lost the
country.'" (Rush Limbaugh)
"I’ve got egg on my face. I predicted a Romney
landslide and, instead, we ended up with an Obama squeaker. The key reason for my bum prediction is that
I mistakenly believed that the 2008 surge in black, Latino, and young voter
turnout would recede in 2012 to “normal” levels. Didn’t happen. These high
levels of minority and young voter participation are here to stay. And, with
them, a permanent reshaping of our nation’s politics." (Dick Morris,
former advisor to former President Bill Clinton)

A VOTE FOR ROMNEY IS A VOTE AGAINST YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES
As I have listened to Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan deliver their
final speeches this week I am reminded of what former President Bill Clinton
said at the DNC referring to the Republican’s relentless attacks on President
Obama’s accomplishments and on the economy since taking office.
“…We all know that he also tried to work with congressional
Republicans on health care, debt reduction and new jobs. And that didn’t work
out so well. But it could have been
because, as the Senate Republican leader said in a remarkable moment of candor
two full years before the election, their number one priority was not to put
America back to work; it was to put the president out of work.
“…The Republican argument against the president’s
re-election was actually pretty simple — pretty snappy. It went something like
this: We left him a total mess. He
hasn’t cleaned it up fast enough. So fire him and put us back in.
“…They want to the same old policies that got us in trouble
in the first place. They want to cut taxes for high- income Americans, even
more than President Bush did. They want to get rid of those pesky financial
regulations designed to prevent another crash and prohibit future bailouts.
They want to actually increase defense spending over a decade $2 trillion more
than the Pentagon has requested without saying what they’ll spend it on. And
they want to make enormous cuts in the rest of the budget, especially programs
that help the middle class and poor children.
“…Here it is. He inherited a deeply damaged economy. He put
a floor under the crash. He began the long, hard road to recovery and laid the
foundation for a modern, more well- balanced economy that will produce millions
of good new jobs, vibrant new businesses and lots of new wealth for innovators.
“…When President Barack Obama took office, the economy was
in free fall. It had just shrunk 9 full percent of GDP. We were losing 750,000
jobs a month.
“…In 2010, as the president’s recovery program kicked in,
the job losses stopped and things began to turn around. The recovery act saved
or created millions of jobs and cut taxes — let me say this again — cut taxes
for 95 percent of the American people. And,
in the last 29 months, our economy has produced about 4 1/2 million private
sector jobs.
“We could have done better, but last year the Republicans
blocked the president’s job plan, costing the economy more than a million new
jobs.
“…I don’t know about you — but on all these issues, I know
we’re better off because President Obama made the decisions he did.
“…So let me ask you something. Are we better off because
President Obama fought for health care reform?
You bet we are.
“…So — so President Obama and the Democrats didn’t weaken
Medicare; they strengthened Medicare. Now, when Congressman Ryan looked into
that TV camera and attacked President Obama’s Medicare savings as, quote, the
biggest, coldest power play, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry — because
that $716 billion is exactly, to the dollar, the same amount of Medicare
savings that he has in his own budget. You
got to get one thing — it takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you
did.
“…Let’s look at the other big charge the Republicans made. It’s
a real doozy. They actually have charged
and run ads saying that President Obama wants to weaken the work requirements
in the welfare reform bill I signed that moved millions of people from welfare
to work.
“…When some Republican governors asked if they could have
waivers to try new ways to put people on welfare back to work, the Obama
administration listened because we all know it’s hard for even people with good
work histories to get jobs today. So moving folks from welfare to work is a
real challenge.
“And the administration agreed to give waivers to those
governors and others only if they had a credible plan to increase employment by
20 percent, and they could keep the waivers only if they did increase
employment. Now, did I make myself clear? The requirement was for more work,
not less.
“…My fellow Americans, all of us in this grand hall and
everybody watching at home, when we vote in this election, we’ll be deciding
what kind of country we want to live in.
“…If you want a future of shared prosperity, where the
middle class is growing and poverty is declining, where the American dream is
really alive and well again and where the United States maintains its
leadership as a force for peace and justice and prosperity in this highly
competitive world, you have to vote for Barack Obama.”
I’ve listened to Mitt Romney as he boasted of his
accomplishments as Governor of Massachusetts (2003-2007) with that smirky smile
on his face while he puts down the president, lied about what the president
said or did, and changed his own position on issues seemingly on a daily basis. Here are some facts:
1.
Mitt Romney made disparaging remarks about and
dismissed 47% of the people in the United States as being lazy, not willing to
take responsibility for themselves, waiting for government handouts, etc.
2.
Paul Ryan dismisses 30% of Americans “takers.”
3.
Romney says “You know that if the President is
re-elected, he will still be unable to work with the people in Congress.” As Clinton said “It takes some brass to
attack a guy for doing what you did.”
a.
As governor of Massachusetts Romney says “I
figured out from day one I had to get along and I had to work across the aisle
to get anything done.” He vetoed more
than 800 budgetary bills all of which were overturned or overridden 99.6% of
the time (775 overridden, 3 approved).
Often with the 6 republicans joining the Democrats to kill Romney’s vetoes.
b.
He vetoed a bill that would have covered cities
during floods in 2004. According to news
reports “Romney claimed he didn't have enough information about the project,
though local officials said they had given him lots of information. In 2006,
Peabody flooded again. Romney was there for a photo op after the flood, but
Peabody probably would have preferred to have had the funding to prevent
flooding in the first place. When the city of Greenfield flooded, in 2005,
Romney was too busy traveling the nation positioning himself for a presidential
run to find out the extent of the flooding or declare an emergency. The most
senior person in his administration, the city's mayor, could get in touch with
was the lieutenant governor's chief of staff. Without help from the state, Greenfield
faced an example of what America can look forward to if Romney becomes
president. ” Those incidents would have
been perfect opportunities for him to demonstrate his idea of reducing funding
to FEMA in lieu of returning total responsibility of emergency responses to the
states. According to news reports “Romney
says he wants states to handle emergency response. But when he had the chance
to show how well that can work, all he showed was failure and indifference.”
c.
He was described as “aloof and, after a failed attempt
to build up the Republican brand in his state, he withdrew, refusing to work
with legislators – even Republicans.”
d.
He ”had a policeman screen visitors and who did
not allow lawmakers to use the bank of elevators just outside his office.”
e.
"The Republican reps would grumble that he
didn't even know their names."
f.
He says he “cut taxes 19 times.” Reports say “Romney simply signed those 19
tax cuts in many cases without any prior work with legislators. The majority of
the tax cuts were selective and small tax credits or deductions, not
broad-based cuts.”
g.
"The one bipartisan effort of his
administration was health reform,'' and in that case others “did a superb job
and Romney did not.”
h.
In 2004 he helped recruit and finance “more than
100 new Republican candidates for the 200 House and Senate seats in
Massachusetts. The effort failed when all incumbents were re-elected to office.
Romney then seemed to turn more of his attention to testing the waters for a
presidential run in 2008.”
Romney and Ryan have characterized Barack Obama as being
everything they can. He has been accused
of doing so many things that the fact-checkers have said just aren’t so. Just a few days ago Ryan said Obamacare was “a
path that grows government, restricts freedom and liberty and compromises those
values, those Judeo-Christian, Western civilization values that made us such a
great and exceptional nation in the first place.” That is ironic since his ideological hero is Ayn
Rand is one of history’s most famous and outspoken atheists according to news
reports. So, having said the above when
you enter that booth to cast your vote for the Romney/Ryan ticket today take
the rose-colored glasses off and accept Romney’s used car salesman speech for
exactly what it is – HE IS MAKING HIS
SALES PITCH IN ATTEMPT TO SELL YOU A LEMON DISQUISED AS A PEACH. You will get what Massachusetts got – ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! A VOTE FOR ROMNEY IS A VOTE AGAINST YOU AND
YOUR LOVED ONES. http://mzmadea2u.tumblr.com/

I am amazed at the number of Black ministers advising their
followers and parishioners to not cast a vote for the president. It amazes me because these ministers are
willing to have the things that would be helpful to the most needy in their
communities sold down the toilet (my nicest description) because the president
has chosen to advocate for every single individual (regardless of their color,
race, or sexual orientation) who resides in these United States of America. I just came across a video with 1 minister
even using the “N” word while spewing his venom. I
consider myself a Christian with Christian beliefs and cannot fathom advocating
against anyone who believes different than myself simply because they express
what they feel is the right thing to do.
The president has been accused of dividing the country. Yet, when he does or says anything geared
toward bringing all peoples together there is still so much being done and said
to under mind it. Why is this? Are you basing your decision on what is in
the Bible - the most accepted Word of God - concerning abortion? I think God
has His opinion of how He views abortion. Does He give us His point of view in
the Bible? If your answer to that question is 'Yes', please tell me where in
the Bible that is stated. I have searched for that answer but I can find it
nowhere - NOT A SINGLE PASSAGE. If you say that it is murder of an unborn
fetus then that should be a decision between the woman making that decision and
her conscience since she will have to live with that particular deed. If you
say it is because of the gay rights - same sex marriage issue. If you ever
found yourself in a gay relationship would you want to be treated different
than I am in a heterosexual relationship? I think not. What if your son or
daughter were in either of those positions? Would you want them condemned by
the public as some sort of criminal? I think not. I would hope that you would not disparage my
child simply because of whom they chose to partner with. Our Lord and Savior will reckon with each and
every one of us based upon the deeds that we perform or accomplish here on
earth. I recognize that you, as a minister, have your personal beliefs and your
job is to teach the right and wrong.
But, please STOPPPP
this anti-Obama campaign. The president
is getting enough of that from those who desire to have the poor and less
fortunate remain poor and less fortunate. I have no problem with your letting your congregations
know how you feel about these things but this ranting and spewing hatred from
your pulpits is not something that God wants you to do in his name. JUST
MY OPINION!!! There is enough
racial hatred, homophobia, religious devisieness, etc., in the world as it
is. Those on the right throw enough
racist stuff at the president. Some
questions for you…Would you feel better if there was a man in the White House
who took this country back to where we were before the 1960s? Some of you even espouse that Mitt Romney
would be a better president. Why? Because he is a rich White man who will only
make the rich richer and keep the poor poorer?
Can you tell me what Mitt Romney's vision for the country is? I think not.
He has flipped from being against Roe v. Wade to being for it. does he believe in equal pay for equal
work? He would have kept our military
fighting in Iraq untill... He will keep
our military fighting in Afghanistan untill....
He will cut entitlement programs but can't say which ones - just asks
the country to trust him. Mitt Romney
could not have done a better job in turning this country around than the
president has. He says he created jobs. Sure he did - a handful of them to replace
workers whose jobs had been outsourced.
As governor he worked across the aisle.
Yes he did - because he had no choice, the legistatures were mostly of
the other party and even then he flipped and flopped. He left the State in worse condition than he
found it. He took over companies and
sent them into bankruptcy outsourcing the jobs.
So, now tell me the positive things about Mitt Romney becoming
president. The man reminds me of a used
car salesman who say anything necessary to make the sale. Barack H. Obama was elected president for all
Americans regardless of whom they choose to worship or love, race, creed, or
religion. In the aftermath of the recent
devistating storm, Sandy, he did what a leader is supposed to do. Yet, there are those of all races who critize
that. Can this man ever do anything to
please you?

A simple message for all people who plan to vote against
President Obama simply because he said that the government (specifically
Congress) should not have authority over a woman's body (paraphrased) and same
sex marriages should be recognized. The
president gave his personal views. I'd
like to pose a question to you. Are you
basing your decision on what is in the Bible - the most accepted Word of God -
concerning abortion? I think God has His
opinion of how He views abortion. Does
He give us His point of view in the Bible?
If your answer to that question is 'Yes', please tell me where in the
Bible that is stated. I have searched
for that answer but I can find it nowhere - NOT A SINGLE PASSAGE. I am certain that God does have an opinion
but I am equally certain that He will reckon with those who have abortions on
case by case bases. Personally, I could
never see myself having an abortion but I would not impose my feelings in that
regard upon another woman. But more than
that I cannot see that it should be the federal or state government who decides
what I, and you, choose to do with our bodies.
If you say that it is murder of an unborn fetus then that also should be
between the woman making that decision and her conscience since she will have
to live that particular deed. If you say
it is because of the gay rights - same sex marriage issue. If you ever found yourself in a gay
relationship would you want to be treated different than I am in a heterosexual
relationship? I think not. What if your son or daughter were in either
of those positions? Would you want them
condemned by the public as some sort of criminal? I think not.
Granted, I am not involved in a gay relationship and could never see
myself in one but I would not dare tell my child or even my neighbor that they
should be criminalized because they chose to have a same-sex partner, married
or otherwise. And I would hope that you
would not disparage my child simply because of whom they chose to partner
with. Is it because you believe what you
have heard about the Affordable Care Act -ObamaCare? The things that are covered under ObamaCare
are beneficial to me and my Medicare, your parents who need Medicare, your
child or some other child you know with a medical condition whose health care's
expenses may exceed what your insurance allows for and will then be a heavy
burden on your ability to otherwise provide for that child, your pre-existing
condition and can't get insurance to cover, the assistance you, or someone you
know who has lost their job because of deep recession we are now recovering
from, etc. ObamaCare protects Medicare
and it is beneficial in other ways as well.
Is it because you have not been able to gain employment? Well, under a Romney-Ryan White House you
will not have it any better. As we
venture on through this slow recovery of the economy things are getting
better. President Obama has a lot more
work to do to get this country back in shape but he is getting us there. Now, for my Black brothers and sisters. Are you dismayed that not enough has been
done for you, personally? Well, I wish
Barack Obama could have made me a millionaire.
But that fact is not reality. Mr.
Obama was elected to be the President of the United States - all races, people,
and things. He was not elected to be the
president of Black America, solely. As I
see it, Barack H. Obama has been working for things beneficial for you, me, and
every other person who considers themselves a citizen of these United States of
America. So, please find yourself at
your precinct casting your vote on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Vote like your
life depends on it. Vote because you
have a right to and you will never let anyone or anything takes that right away
from you. But by God Almighty do get to
that precinct and cast that vote. Vote
for Barack Obama. Vote for Mitt Romney
if you believe his flipping and flopping on important issues will get you what
you need. But I assure you that if you
choose the Romney-Ryan platform, you, and I, will find ourselves back in the
same conditions we are recovering from.
Vote for one of the other candidates on the ticket if you desire
to. But know that when you cast your
vote for that alternative candidate, it takes away from the candidate who
actually will win the election. It would
be nice if God, Himself, were 1 of the options that you have. But since God is not a candidate, why not
vote for the candidate who has the interest of all Americans on his mind - not
just the super richest of our citizens.
