Maraya1969's JournalA great response to all the "Cry babies and Sore Losers"
http://samuel-warde.com/2012/11/cry-babies-and-sore-losers/It's kind of long but I held on every word.
To Tea Party Patriots and hardcore Religious Engineers:
Republicans lost because their party leadership and most candidates feared you, listened to you, and looked the other way on important issues as you picked the dumbest, craziest nominees in key primaries (Murdock and Akin), or converted otherwise sensible, experienced candidates to Crazy Town (Romney).
There’s nothing wrong with wanting limited government. I do. There’s nothing wrong with believing in God, the Golden Rule, or wanting to reduce abortions. I do, too. But you’ve taken it too damn far and scare the shit out of people you could otherwise persuade.
Smart people can lose. But smart people always learn.
My computer was wrecked over the weekend by this virus. I paid someone to fix it
and he got me back on the internet. I then downloaded Superantispyware which I used to have and it found all sorts of crap on there including a Trojan.
But still now when I open a new tab I go to "Mystart by incredibar" and there is a search bar on the page and a moving slot type game on the page. I can't seem to get it out. I have checked with my Add-ons with Fire Fox and it is not listed there. I can't find anything listed in my program files. I just want it to open to a Google page.
Anyone know how I can kick them out and get google or nothing in?
Statement from Applebee's President Mike Archer about Obamacare
Source: Applebees
Applebee’s and the independent business owners who franchise our company's restaurants throughout the U.S. recognize that affordable health care is a critically important issue facing our country. Because final regulations and guidance are still pending from government agencies regarding the Affordable Care Act (ACA), exactly how our franchisees will implement the law when it takes effect in 2014 is still uncertain. However, we do know that our franchisees will comply fully with the law and take every measure possible to continue doing right by their employees -- the lifeblood of their businesses. Applebee’s franchisees have always led their companies as responsible, caring employers, and implementation of the new law will be consistent with that commitment.
Recent public comments by one Applebee's franchisee about the possible implications of the ACA on jobs within his individual company were not the views or opinions of either Applebee's or other franchisees, although we respect his right to speak freely as an American. Importantly, it is also worth noting that this franchisee opened a new restaurant last week that created approximately 200 jobs, and will be opening another restaurant next month with a similar number of positions. Applebee's and our franchisees remain committed to growing our business and providing opportunities for employees in the future.

Petition to tell the Bishops to back off the gay marriage thing.
Will you please sign?
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2518/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=11895
This year the Catholic bishops joined forces with the far right to launch a vicious campaign against President Obama and against marriage equality. They spent millions of dollars, demonized their opponents, and even threatened laypeople with eternal damnation if they voted Democratic.
And now what do the bishops have to show for it? Most Catholics voted for President Obama, marriage equality is law in three additional states, and the bishops have become unpopular and polarizing political figures.
Now, with polls showing that most Catholics want the church to focus more on social justice and serving the poor, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is meeting in Baltimore next week to plan their next steps.
Some jackass Romney whiner is saying that people with <30K income voted for Obama
greater than 60%. Which may be true but it pisses me off that he is saying this. He also said he might become a Democrat next time so he can get a free ride and a free meal on election day.
What do I say to this guy. He has already announced that he is a 1%'er. He is a pompous ass. Now they are doing everything they can to try an make Obama's win seem not such a big thing.
And does anyone know what % of the population voted this year? Because this guy and another one are trying to say that Obama was voted in with less than 25% of the population which means that less than 50% must have voted.
What cry babies they are.
Did Nate Silver miss a state or why is his electoral collage numbers prediction not right?
He had it at 313 to 225 Obama to Romney but the final results were 332 to 206 Obama to Romney.
I have looked at his map and the final election map and I can't find one state that he got wrong unless it is a tiny one that I just can't see.
Does anyone know why his electoral count is off?
Do you think it's time we start bombarding Boehner's phone and email? Telling him to tax the rich?
I think it's time and that we should keep it up. Remember the bush tax cuts end in January so this fight is just underway. Here is his information.

I'm going to remind him that he lost seats in both the House and Senate and the Presidency and if he keeps on with his politics of obstructionism he is going to lose his job and the majority because the average voter is becoming more and more aware of what they are doing.
Some right wing celebrity rants
First good OLD Ted Nugent.
early Tuesday morning, Nugent slammed the idea of a vote for "Obama & vote for US Constitution hating SCOTUS crazies." Later, in a follow-up stream of tweets to his 100,000-plus followers, he announced he would "cry tears of blood for The Last Best Place" and called voters "soulless fools," and, "pimps whores & welfare brats."
Donald Trump........."called the election a "total sham and a travesty," and said that the "electoral college is a disaster for a democracy."
Trump then suggested to his nearly two million followers that the gridlock that has plagued Washington politics should continue during Obama's second term, saying, "House of Representatives shouldn't give anything to Obama unless he terminates Obamacare."
Victoria Jackson
" After Obama's victory, Jackson, in a flurry of Internet posts, announced the death of America, telling her followers that she "can't stop crying," and taking Christians to task for not voting.
"America died," she wrote on her Twitter feed. "I can't stop crying. America died."
Jackson also posted on her Facebook page an image of a tombstone that said, "RIP America."
Later, she tweeted, "Thanks a lot Christians, for not showing up. You disgust me."

I just googled myself and found a picture of me that is only in my personal photo
album! And it is a little risque' looking! It says it comes from Picasa albums so I checked my Picasa album online and that picture is not in there.
How do I get that thing off?????????
GREG PALAST - UAW Files Ethics Charge On Romney For Auto Loan Profits
&feature=youtu.beMore information:
http://www.opednews.com/articles/UAW-Files-Charges-Against-by-Greg-Palast-121102-673.html
For Mitt Romney, it's one scary Halloween. The Presidential candidate has just learned that tomorrow afternoon he will charged with violating the federal Ethics in Government law by improperly concealing his multi-million dollar windfall from the auto industry bail-out.
At a press conference in Toledo, Bob King, President of the United Automobile Workers, will announce that his union and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) have filed a formal complaint with the US Office of Government Ethics in Washington stating that Gov. Romney improperly hid a profit of $15.3 million to $115.0 million in Ann Romney's so-called "blind" trust.
========================================
King added, "While Romney was opposing the rescue of one of the nation's most important manufacturing sectors, he was building his fortunes with his Delphi investor group, making his fortunes off the misfortunes of others."
