Admit it, Republicans.... you are almost as relieved as we are that Romney lost the election.

It's just a shame that your ignorant party politics took the country that close to a total disaster. But now you're glad that he's gone and you just want to pretend it never happened. But he was the face of what so many of you believe...and it's not easy looking in the mirror sometimes.

Why don't you try this?
How about you give your fellow Americans credit for electing the better man and give him a chance. That used to be S.O.P. back in the days you all claim to want to go back to. "Alright, we would say... we lost and now we have to give this other guy a chance and back him up."

Our side has done that every time. Even through Bush until he proved our worst fears. But your side stooped to impeaching Clinton and obstructing Obama like it's never been done in our history. You talk about seceding from the fucking country because the rich guy who was going to give himself a tax cut and raise your taxes to pay for it didn't get elected. WTF is that?

So take a deep breath... open your narrow minds and try to make this a better country by working TOGETHER for a change. Who knows?... You might even like it.

But of course they will not be taking it, or any other commonsense advice. In the next four years, 2016, there will be another group of racist, loony, bigoted, shallow money driven republicans vying for the honor of top idiot....with one exception, they will then have the "do not anger the Hispanics group" on the sidelines making sure that no one says anything ridiculous or racist about that voting block because "they need them votes"---but it will still be open season on everyone else. A few of Mitt's twins like Ricky "Santoruim" and Marco "Rudeio" are already getting warmed up for their future appearances. Get ready for sheer ignorance from the party of bigots, racist, and scum.

I'd sure like to see the exit poll data on how many of them either voted third party or didn't vote at the top of the ticket at all. I'd bet it made the difference in most of the battleground states.

They'll be wanting a Rick Santorum-Liz Cheney ticket in 2016, having learned nothing from what occurred 13 days ago.
