"GET OVER IT !!'

That is my advice to the Republican Party, with all its diverse components.

We went through 8 years of George W Bush and Dick Cheney. We went thru stolen elections and Supreme Court decisions that put your guys in office. We went thru the WMD lies. We went thru the terrorist color-coded days. We went thru wars and invasions. We went thru our country torturing people and attempting to say it was a good thing to do. We went thru "free speech zones" where we were locked in fences so we could not protest what was happening to our country.

We watched helplessly as our country was discredited around the world. We watched our young men and women come home from a war without arms and legs, all because of a lie. More than 4000 came back in body bags. We had to endure your crap for 8 long years. So don't talk to me about how awful it is that Barack Obama won re-election. You and your Party nearly destroyed this country. We are still working to save America. So just get the hell over it!

and all I could think of was the incessant droning of "get over it". I've never gotten over it assholes, now you get to think about this for the next 4 to 12 years and may you choke on it.

We Democrats need to get more involved and get more of our neighbors involved.

Tip O'Neill - the ultimate party hack - All politics is local. We forgot.

a repuke told me to "get over it" when I complained about Bush and his gang of thugs. Not only should they get over it, I would add they can suck it too! HAHAHAHAHAH

This is the simple way they look at the vote. They don't look at how many kids might be hungry if they cut food stamps or how many people might get sick and die if 30 million no longer have any insurance? For Christians, they act in the most un-Christianlike ways.

costing many americans a huge chunk of their life savings. Stolen, all of it, by rich white guys.

Don't ever forget those rich white guys crashed the stock market and put millions of people out of work.

grrrrrr

Hey,
Nice rant, the idiot son and his gang of criminals screwed up this country so bad and expect President Obama to fix it while they oppose everything he has proposed.

Peace

I know this probably make me a bad person. But I want the sadness and the rage to consume them. I want the hatred to continue to build and Fox to keep fanning the flames.

It's evident now that this vicious spin cycle is not hurting our cause. It's helping us. Let them continue to burn themselves out. Yes this will cause some battles to flair up. But in the end, we will win.
