  • Look at the dems who won. Not much diversity there. Because nitwits, half-wits, intellectually, factually, and ethically challenged do not count as race, yet.
    Now its time to re-calibrate, re-tool and try to fix this huge mess that we find ourselves in.
    Way to go, Tea Partiers, Americans of all persuasions who care about their country.
    Take it back and fix it!!!
    To the dems, libs, anarchists and those who hate America, I offer this: NO POINTS FOR SECOND BEST!!!

  • I am happy for the nation but cry for my state of Kalifornia and my city Of Santa Barbara. We tripled down on stupidity. Must live vicariously.

    • We'll take you here in Colorado. You sound like the kind of Californian I WISH would have moved here instead of the half million dimwits who did and changed the face of the electorate.

    • Sorry for all those in California who voted for the right and unfortunately will bear the brunt of the jackboot on their neck sooner, rather than later. If it were me, I'd seriously be looking at a map and Googling better places to live and then beating a path to it. I hate to say it, but California is doomed and sadly, her best days are behind...I know, as I used to live there and it's depressing to go back to visit friends & relatives.

  • Can't wait for someone to accuse Allen West of being an Uncle Tom. He'll put the smack-down on that fool lightning fast!

  • Well, the only reason is...

    Uhhh...

    *tries to think of some inane argument*

    OH! They're being COUNTER-Racist so they don't seem racist so that they can spread their RACIST-NESS!

    Yeah, that'll work. That's gotta be why, I just know it!

    ...

    • Have you ever considered a career in politics? That's the best non-answer I heard this season. Beat the Dems at their own game. ;-)

      • "Have you ever considered a career in politics?"

        That's just the problem...far too many have made it a career.

        I have never gotten involved in politics on any level (other than never missing any election), but these next two years I am going to be watching EVERY MOVE of my elected officials and donating time and money to see the crooked SOB's defeated in 2012 and beyond. I am not going to look my grandchildren in the eye 20 years down the road and tell them I didn't even try to stop this madness.

    • What a bunch of race traitors. Don't these dupes understand that they are pawns for the evil conservative white Republicans?

      Seriously, well done to this group of winners.
