as i feared. voter hit squads have been running wild the last 4 years. thousands upon thousands of deaths and disappearances. and big media in the bag has ignored it!

Romney got the independents, but half of them stayed home. The Romney campaign did find a lot of their stripe in MI & elsewhere. Not enough in OH & PA although they paid almost $200 per vote in these swing states.

If you want to make your taxes and vote "count", here is the formula that you need to follow. 1) Do not buy a GM car ever 2) Do not spend your money in any state that is a "Blue state". It might hurt you to not go to Destin this summer, instead, Go to Orange beach but do not pass the Florabama. 3) Do not support any liberally owned local or big business. 4)Get off facebook, social networking favors the democrats anyway. 5) Stop supporting anything that mainstream Hollywood releases. 6) Pay anyone who works for you around the house in cash. Tell them that unless they support tax reform, you will have to give them a 1099. 7) Quit slumming in Fondren, let them support themselves. If you live in Madison or Rankin, keep your money there. 8) Stay home, don't spend, do the bare minimum to keep the ball rolling. 9)Stop tipping, it is a "bribe" anyway. 10) stop arguing with liberals, let them think they won, act happy and pretend to be nice. The enemy needs to think you have given up. 11) pay off all your debt as fast as you can, borrow no more money. 12) Make holidays about staying home and not purchasing anything, if you don't spend, the economy will stall. 13) Cancel HBO and any other liberal mouthpiece that comes in your house. 14) Put your money in secure investments, let the stock market tank. 15)Don't move, the economy depends on the idea of upward mobility now, if you stay where you are, nothing new will be built. 16)Downgrade your cellular plan, you don't need to spend a extra thousand to send picture messages and play on facebook. 17) Stop paying for lattes at cups. I could go on, but you get my drift. Good luck, stay strong, this won't last forever.

Now, 6:55, that was quite a list. I thought, about midway through reading it, that you were making a joke, but when I finished and re-read, point by point, it occurred to me that I'm almost perfectly compliant with your strictures, albeit (mostly) unintentionally!

The only exception is the one about tipping---why punish low-paid servers, who, after all, are at least working, instead of hollering for a government handout?

No GM car---check! No debt---check! Eschew Starbucks---got it! Pay the Help in cash---yup (at her request---she'd lose her monthly disability $$ if Uncle Sam knew she was perfectly able and willing to clean houses!)

Voting with one's pocketbook is a sound and admirable M.O., but I don't see it much happening.

The wankers have won the day, and anything we right-minded folk do is shuttin' the barn door after the horses are already out. Donkeys, in this case...

Funny, I've been doing this the last four years and not by choice, but necessity.

Actually, your housekeeper got her disability via a lawyer who used a court, not a medical opinion to get her on it, and since there was really nothing wrong other than being lazy, she will never loose it. I have seen so many able bodied but disabled people it makes me sick. One in five in this great socialist nation are on medicaid, 20 percent. Unreal. It is a career goal for so many now. I get to work and they get to smoke dope and watch satellite. Seems reasonable right? What is going to happen when there is no one left to pay for the benefits all these poor souls get?

Seriously, if Texas bails, it would start a chain reaction.

5:37 am, you really don't believe that Texas secession nonsense do you?
Texas , when joining the US , retained the right to secede. They exercised that right in 1861.
They could have remained independent but they chose to join the Confederacy and go to war.

The original document didn't give them the right to secede everytime they didn't like an election outcome. Engaging in war negates the original agreement.

But, frankly, it'd be fine with me .

War is political failure...now when you have political war-the result is the same.

332-206...that is an 'electoral college mandate' which is not quite enough to encourage the President to do as Bob Woodward wants him to do...be a forceful leader. He might just wait until the Senate budget brain trust puts its plan forward. The Speaker, however, should call him and make an appointment to meet with him in secret prior to being caught up in his conference insanity.

6:42 you are a weak man hiding and playing games with your license. Do you think people are unaware?

Déjà vu.....

Mr. K aka ethically challenged,

I was talking about Obama, not shamuta.

Michael Steele on C-Span made reference to Henry Barbour and others wanting him sacked as RNC chairman and his ambition to either run for governor or seek the chair again. He admitted the superiority of the Dems in their organization and message ops. He said Romney nor the primary were the problem, but the obvious need for grassroots party building and outreach to everyone. The RNC central idea of possessive individualism is currently tarnished because economic opportunities are shrinking during a time of austerity and conservatism runs counter to risk. The DNC notion of expanding the middle class, if successful, will mean the more prosperous electorate becomes more conservative in political philosophy. The Grand Old Party will be party building for the next ten years.

Steele was a disaster.

Someone needs to bone up on the right of secession as promulgated in The Constitution. And it's not Texas' assertion that it may secede that makes it a possibility. Secession was never determined to be illegal (and please don't mention the Supreme Justice's parenthetical observation in the Texas bond case)and no state needs to petition the federal government in order to successfully do so, however unworkable the prospect may be.

looks like the idea of secession is catching on, Texas has gotten 25000 people to sign a petition.
