Better stock up on gold and Nail Salon certificates. Also, I understand Argentina is pleasant this time of year. Why not pack up and move there? It's always been a haven for malignant ex-pats. But oh, that's right, latinos. Welp, I guess you're SOL.

DH and I cried a bit, then we said the words "I can't believe it," cried some more, and then went to bed. Felt a lot better the next morning.

It starts with your word " forcing" which is inherently anti American and unconstitutional. Nobody should be forcing anybody to do anything they dont want to.

Including paying taxes?

The individual mandate is an idea first proposed by the raging liberals at the Heritage Foundation, and then encouraged by socialists such as Robert Dole and Newt Gingrich.

11/6/2012....the day America became a 3rd world nation. Book it.

Please explain to me how forcing everyone to purchase health insurance, thereby removing or significantly limiting the need for the government to provide them with free health care, is creating a dependent citizenry.

Most of the Republicans I know were absolutely and totally CONVINCED Romney would win. They really seemed to have no idea what was coming. The shock just took them to a really angry place. I have been wondering how they could have missed it as the news I was hearing all along was that the race was neck-and-neck, and if you believed Nate Silver (which it turns out we should have) then it was Obama. Whichever candidate you preferred, it just makes no sense that it should be a surprise that Obama would win under those circumstances. So why the total surprise? I hypothesize that a lot of Republicans listen to editorialized news without realizing it or perhaps without contextualizing what they are hearing and then they pass that information between them as if it were real. Maybe there is a situation here where opinion and fact are getting confused.

This. I saw so many on this board who relied on the polls for popular vote, and they couldn't explain the EC scenario where Romney would win. I asked several times for an explanation. The polls all along had Obama ahead in the EC. I don't get the shock. (but do sympathize with them, as in 2004 I felt the same about Bush)

Remember folks do not let your republicans go out in the rain. They may look up with their mouths open and drown.

Good for you. Where you putting that money? Gold? Boxes of REMs, or just more crack to smoke. People make a lot of money selling low.

Seems like they have a ways to go before they can regroup for 2016.

Well, those people are right. He lost because of the people who voted for Obama.

9:10 and 9:15, please take a few more sentences and explain what you mean. Please define the "shitstorms." Please explain what President Obama has on his agenda that is "expanding centralized government and [creating] a dependent citizenry."

It may be too soon after the loss to want to grapple with how you woke up yesterday AM to a second Obama term. But, if you want to win the popular voter and electoral college for the second time in seven presidential elections, you will need to face facts. Some of those facts include that African-American professionals, small business-owning Asians and Latinos, young folks, single white women, and the white working class outside of the South don't want to be governed by the "modern day" GOP. We are the rising American electorate, the new majority. We are inclusive, you are exclusive - and the latter sucks when you are dying off. Your own Bush strategist Matt Dowd said it best - the GOP is the "Mad Men" Party living in a "Modern Family" America.

^^^^ yeah... The thought of " Yukon men" having to scrape together their obamacare premium is sickening.
