"It's not over till it's over. You never know the votes arn't counted yet. Just the same I texted my therapist to let her know I may need to talk. If things go too bad tonight it will be another disaster for me"

[TheSanityAnnex]

I won't watch election returns tonight.


"I am in denial.

SHOCK & DENIAL-
You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the loss at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for weeks.


Fuck. This.
KY for the turtle.
jeez."

"Dear God:

OK, you feckless fuck, listen up. I am about to walk out the door, get in my car, drive down to the community center, and cast MY THIRD VOTE AGAINST SCOTT BROWN IN FOUR YEARS IN TWO STATES. I consider my requirement to do this a hate crime, because You clearly hate me; I had to deal with two back-to-back elections with this assburger in Massachusetts, and then I moved to New Hampshire, and that fart in the wind of history followed me, and now I have to vote against him AGAIN after enduring a THIRD session of OMG SCOTT BROWN IS SO AWESOME YOU GUYS commercials running wall to wall on every station until they invaded my sleep.

Fuck you, God. If this was Your Big Plan, I intend to thwart it. I am so totally going to vote against this dickhead, and You can't stop me. Throw a tree in the road, have a deer try to eat my face, send wolves who shoot bees out of their noses to gnaw my bones: nope. With my vote, I will be a splinter in the stake that will FINALLY be driven through the heart of this wretched opportunistic political vampire.

If You're going to kill me, God, do it right now. My keys are in my hand, and I am out the door.

Fuck Scott Brown.

Sincerely Yours,

William Rivers Pitt"

I am tired of subsidizing these tea party red neck jackals.
They love their "independence", let them have it"

[Winehole23]

Scott Brown lost, btw

[TheSanityAnnex]

"Just voted.

I'm in the diverse part of downtown Phoenix. It was a very, very short wait and I was only voter #148 for my district.
That's a crazy-low number of voters for being in the the heart of the city.

Zero has definitely zeroed out the D vote all by himself."

[TheSanityAnnex]

"Wait until Rick Scott wins in Florida. It has been an UGLY race.

The funny part is Charlie Christ WAS a republican here in office...and not a bad governor. So either way Dem's vote for a Republican!


The only way Scott can loose is outright voter machine tampering or early ballot voting by dead Floridians."

[TheSanityAnnex]

""Fuck those lying, thieving, democracy destroying, psychopathic GOPers and the conservative SCOTUS and their citizens united, voting rights act, voter ID bullshit!

What the fuck is the matter with this nation? Things aren't getting better, they're getting worse, and as hard as we try and yell and cuss, no one is doing shit about all the criminality going on with the banks, politicians, and anyone that breaks the law as long as they're filthy rich.

I'm so fucking pissed off right now I can't see straight. My blood pressure is sky high. I need to take it easy.

I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired! FUCK IT!!!" "

[TheSanityAnnex]

"To hear the fucking mainstream media call it - its like the end of the democratic party."

[TheSanityAnnex]

"Seriously, I've lived in a few states around the country, I live next to Red states, I can't figure
out how to get back to Jersey for my cousin's daughter's wedding in May without having to spend
money in these awful states that are run by the Rethugs!

I can't get out of New Mexico (which is being "Texanized" as we speak)...without hitting every crap state, regardless of whether I drive or fly, or go the northern or southern route.

I've had "dreams" of picking up something to eat, asking how they voted, and then refusing a tip. "

[TheSanityAnnex]

"Goodbye civil rights,women's right to vote etc"

[Winehole23]

Scott won, Crist conceded.

there were no meltdowns on ST, so you went trolling on partisan boards for garbage. thanks for reposting it here, TSA.

"If the Morans win in 2016, it's over, and I am out of this country.
I have fought for the left for nearly 50 years, and it's time I find a place where LIBERAL is not a dirty word, neither is SOCIALIST"

[TheSanityAnnex]

"And we still don't have an answer about whether a GOP Senate majority would be constitutionally legitimate. Don't put the cart before the horse. "

[TheSanityAnnex]

"Time for President Obama and Biden to resign.


Seriously....this nation apparently can't differentiate between serious states-people and bought-for politicians. The next 2 years will be Circus Maximus where the whole Republican agenda will be impeaching Obama. Since we haven't obviously suffered enough, lets cut to the chase and give them complete control. No more excuses...take complete control of our government and own your ideology. The American people need to see what they apparently voted for...fire sale the whole country, crater the economy, and put your social agenda on the front burner. Better to let the patient experience gangrene than attempt to fight off the infection with too little anti-biotics. Who knows? Maybe the Republicans really have an economic/social strategy that will save this Country! I doubt it....they have no ideas or solutions, but they do have an ideology. Time to Kansasize the US of A. Lets experience the Full Monty of an unchecked Republican agenda. Repeal Obamacare and kill the middleclass! It ought to be a terriffic platform to win in 2016."

[TheSanityAnnex]

"white people did this to America. Why, why, why?
My heart is totally broken. My husband is white but he's well educated, informed and an excellent critical thinker. But seriously white people did this and I just don't get it. The only other explanation is fraudulent recording of electronic votes. To me, the latter option makes more sense."

[TheSanityAnnex]

"So now that we have nothing more to lose
how about taking our party on a hard turn to the left. Let's come up with every progressive idea we can and put together a liberal platform for 2016.
Never compromise with the devil"

"Plank #1: Nationalize the TBTF banks, expropriate their assets, fire their

“The GOP is the biggest scandal of the century. Huge voter suppression and fixing the voting machines so they didn’t register right. The GOP is the biggest fraud, AG Holder will be busy undoing all the GOP fraud wins”

[TheSanityAnnex]

”I’m actually scared — as in can’t-sleep-tonight-Halloween-came-five-days-late scared — of the GOP fascists taking over the Kennedy state...

Also, there is a gun store that just popped up out of nowhere down the street from my house on a main street. I no longer feel safe in my neighborhood or my state. Should I find a way to move to Vermont where Bernie and the sane people live? Or if I can’t afford to leave, should I just do myself in? I honestly am terrified that we’re living in the decline of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Reich.”

"We here on DU do not represent Americans.


That should be obvious this morning.


Seems to me we live on an island here.
For all our telling ourselves how much more intelligent we are compared to the rest of America, it didn't help anything yesterday.
Reality sinks in now.
We can't make it go away.
For me I will turn to some of the good things that still exist. A walk along the beach. A long motorcycle ride. Some good music.
And I will remain possitive thinking there is a better time coming."

Yes no shit. Just doing a recap of last nights festivities.

Meanwhile, absolutely nothing substantial will change now that red team has power instead of blue team. Anyone who still thinks there's actually a difference is too stupid to breed.

False, Repugs could get their Ryan, sociopathic, destructive budget done, screwing the poor while enriching the 1%.

Lots of stuff the House Repugs have voted for many times that were blocked by the Dem Senate. No longer the case. Repugs have serious opportunity to really fuck stuff up.

One thing that won't happen is the bi-partisan Senate immigration bill that didn't even get a House vote will not come up again. Immigration reform is a Repug racist/xenophobic campaigning/rabble-rousing tactic, not a true desire to do anything about immigration.

Privatization, Punitive Taxation and prosecuting Political Opponents - very original.

Sounds exactly like pretty much every piece of legislation passed by both teams in at least the past century.
