... And who’s their White Knight for 2016? Paul Ryan – A man who couldn’t even carry his home state for the GOP ticket this time: An arrogant, cold-hearted, neocon-loving, Ayn Rand-spouting clown whose obsession with gutting Medicaid and Medicare instead fatally gutted Romney’s hopes of carrying Florida.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but come back, Sarah Palin – Please ....

This is almost as much fun as the night I watched Elwyn Tinklenberg's fundraising figures climb higher and higher with every refresh.

On the evening of October 17, 2008, Tinklenberg's opponent, Bachmann, appeared on Hardball with Chris Matthews. She said she was "very concerned that [Obama] may have anti-American views," and called for the news media to "do a penetrating expose" on "the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America?"[10] Her statements about liberalism and anti-American views were quickly spread around liberal blogs such as The Daily Kos, Democratic Underground and The Huffington Post.

Outrage at Bachmann's comments led to nearly $440,000 in donations to Tinklenberg's campaign in less than 24 hours[11] and over $750,000 in 72 hours.[12] In response, Tinklenberg wrote, "The last few hours have been nothing short of astounding. Since Congresswoman Michele Bachmann appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball earlier tonight, there’s been a deluge of support unlike anything we have seen."[13] His total fundraising before the Bachmann appearance was approximately $1 million, under $720,000 of which was from individuals.[14] Prior to Bachmann's remarks, Democrats had already planned to spend $1,000,000 against the Republican incumbent after Tinklenberg had reached the milestone of raising $1,000,000 on his own.[15]

OK, so i followed the link to see the numbers drop on rMoney's FB page. Under the 1st picture on the left side I decided to read a few comments and this is what was posted by some nutjob:

James Allen I hitched and dragged a gay liberal obama supporter from the back of my pick up truck tonight...I think he died. I left him to die in his boyfriends front yard. Turned the sprinklers on....

Granted, they have to get out of the Fox bubble in order to be capable of blaming Mitt. Just look at the comments of the people there who are still supporting this jackass. They are doing nothing but making the same excuses being made on Fox. And, they're still spouting all of the same BS lies and conspiracy theories about the President, liberals and Democrats. It's a huge cesspool of delusion. I almost feel sorry for them. It has to suck to live in constant fear, and also be afraid of so many imaginary things. Ignorance is not always bliss.

Okay - The election is over and it's time to get to work pushing the people we elected to do the right thing. And there should be no gloating.
But, if you're a fan of Schadenfreude and I must admit that I am (I like it on Metropolitan miche with fresh local butter and thinly sliced ham) then head over to http://www.facebook.com/mittromney and look at the number of "Likes".
Take note of that number. Perhaps write it down. Leave the tab open in your browser. Go away and do something else like listen to Jon Stewart's November 7th broadcast. Come back to the Mitt tab and refresh the page. Look at the number of "Likes". Giggle quietly to yourself or chortle depending on your inclination. Then have a nice big slice of Schadenfreude and a glass of wine.

I'm more amazed that he still has over 12 million likes than the fact people are un-liking his page. There is also some deliberately freeping of that page with new people adding it.
