2. He is irredeemable...
If there is a God, there will be justice for this old man in the afterlife for his evilness. He is a loser, he is a disgrace, he is a terrible human being. He is a failure. He is not redeemed, and he never will be. Not now, not for eternity.

3. no, he most assuredly is NOT
he ran the vilest campaign imaginable

he's a liar; never forget that

he's shown himself to be a dishonorable, ambitious megalomaniac who proved himself willing to stoop as low as necessary, as long as necessary, to gain power

you KNOW he doesn't mean a word he says

his record as a politician reviled by his own republican colleagues, is well known

his choice of a campaign staff comprised of the same MONSTERS who reviled him in 2000 tells you all you need to know about his supposed 'character'



which of his twelve houses will he crawl back to now, to lick his wounds?

there

I feel much better now

all the best to you, Walnuts

now prove you can reach across the aisle, and don't let your fascist senate pals stifle any of the legislation that needs to be passed to undo the damage YOUR PARTY and YOUR PRESIDENT have done over the last four years

then, perhaps, you can make up for all the filth you've spread since June

8. he could have simply conceded and left it at that
instead he made a point of trying to heal the wounds his awful campaign created. I'll give him the credit he deserves for that. He specifically reached out to his fucked up base and demanded that they recognize Obama as their president and take pride in his historic victory.

I'm not interested in beating my opponents after they have surrendered. I'll leave that sort of behavior to our opponents, and so should all of you.

16. I'm not interested in fogetting about what people did because they give a nice speech.
Some of us care more about honesty and accuracy than being nice.

15. Um, a nice speech doesn't undo all the death and destruction he's helped cause.
This is the only speech he could give without being a douchebag.

17. I'm glad he didn't give a speech that good during the campaign.
He looked calmer and more relaxed than he has for months.
