I don't know which one is worse between McCain and Romney, two bitter bullies who are sore losers desperately trying to be relevant when they are not. They are both pathetic, whining over their loss to the President.

OMG, CNN has cheating scandalous Newt and Callista Gingrich on talking about the Petraeus affair. Jon Stewart got the delicious irony of that one right.

Tongue in cheek, but well written article by Dana Milbank of the Washington Post, but us letting the Takers secede: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/dana-milbank-the-confederacy-of-takers/2012/11/13/d8adc7ee-2dd4-11e2-beb2-4b4cf5087636_story.html?hpid=z2

You mean Rick Scott. He is disliked by many in Florida and even more since the election, but make no mistake that low voter turnout might just put him back in office. He is corrupt as hell, his company got the largest settlement for Medicare fraud and people still voted for him.

Well, Cantor was protecting his fellow Republican general caught with his pants at his ankles so I would that his fellow Republicans would understand although their fellow Birther FBI agent was the driving force in this drama.

Cornell West has done lost his damn mind. There is something wrong with that man mentally. Now back to the Petraeus sex scandal: What i love the most is that I just read in the NY Times that it was a FBI agent Birther who went running to Eric Cantor. Watching the Republicans rally around Petraeus is a sight to behold. Their so-called morals go out the window when they have a Republican politician to protect.

My fantasy plan is to let them secede, then invade Texas and Louisiana and ship all of the traitors demanding to secede to another country, some desert island where they can interbreed to their heart's desire. We can then fix their horrific education and health systems and make them into productive states instead of states that suck in federal dollars and give little in return.

I can see how Andrea is seduced by the apparently safety of Woodbury. First, she barely escapes the farm alive, then she and Michonne have been running and hiding for months. It has got to be exhausting. No wonder her instincts are dull, not that they were ever good in the first place given her attraction to crazy ass Shane.

It is that Jack/Sharon/Phil triangle that made me stop watching EE.

It was great to see Daryl taking on the leadership mantle with Rick totally out of it. He was very sweet with the baby. I think it is very important that he feels responsible for the group since a reunion with Merle is on the horizon. This way Daryl is genuinely torn about whether to side with Merle and the Governor or unstable Rick and his friends who will desperately need him. I think that it is unbelievable that the baby is as healthy as Hershel claims. I would have made the baby underweight and sickly so it would die of natural causes over the next month or so. I wonder if TPTB really intend to let the baby live in the long term because I cannot see how that is feasible. The group is already slowed down by Hershel's disability, a crying baby would be near suicide. I love Rick losing his mind a little. He was already on edge over having to kill Shane, now he is feeling all sorts of guilt over Lori's death. It has got to be destroying him that he was so angry and dismissive of her and that they left things so unresolved. Rick simply cannot cope with his emotional turmoil at the moment. It will take time for him to get back to himself. Of course, that is a recipe for disaster with the confrontation with the Governor clearly ahead. Zombie death match was hilarious and sick at the same time.

I think that it is safe to say that Andrea is attracted to psychotic men and when she is in heat, her brain does not work. LOL! I can appreciate that. Yep, I meant "Andrea." Edited to change Lori to Andrea.

I felt for Andrea though. I understood why she was tired of continually moving and running from the walkers. She felt safe at Woodbury and did not suspect the danger that Michonne did.

Poor Rick. He has lost his mind. It is the guilt on top of Lori's death. I swear, that walker ate Lori. Rick killing the walkers was cool though. I still think that Carol is alive. It was sad when Carl named all the women that they had lost as potential names for the baby. The Governor is definitely sending his men after Michonne. I hope that she escapes. Let Andrea deal with the crazy.

The walking daughter. LOL! So bad. The Governor is such a freak. Damn, Michonne is a bad ass.

Just want to share this thought provoking comment from the talented writer, David Simon's blog: http://davidsimon.com/inevitabilities-and-barack-obama/

I have never considered leaving this country, especially because I would never let those disgusting excuses for human beings ever have more of this country. I see them as caught fish flapping around on the shore desperately gasping for their last breath as the majority of this country continues to move forward leaving their racism, bigotry, homophobia, selfishness, hatred of those who have less, and their un-Christian ugliness in the past.

Damn, the FBI investigated Petraeus, intercepting his emails to the woman. Apparently, the Obama Administration delayed asking him to resign until after the election which is considered questionable by some people.

I agree that there is more to the story because he admitted the affair publicly in his resignation. However, the consensus from the "intelligence experts" in the media is that he would have had to leave over the affair regardless. Apparently, the CIA extramarital affairs are considered unacceptable because it makes the person susceptible to blackmail and pressure. I posted several pages ago that I thought that the President was ultimately responsible for the Bengahzi attack, but that the CIA was responsible for the intelligence failure that gave no warning about the attack before it happened so I am all for Petraeus resigning.

When George W. Bush was re-elected, I accepted the bad judgement of the majority of the electorate and got on with my life. All I did was roll my eyes and quote Maistre, "in a democracy people get the leaders they deserve." Four years later, Bush's continued incompetence caused the economy to collapse, the Clinton surplus to disappear, the deficit to explode, and embroiled in us two wars. After? They were claiming that the President's mother was a S&M bondage porn star during the election. No words for the depth those people are always willing to go.

Given that most Congressional Republicans have pledged to Grover Norquist not to raise taxes, it is obvious that they have no intention of negotiating or compromising. The President has to act soon, but in a couple years, we get a chance to sweep the Republicans out of the House.

Let me just say, that unapologetic gloating from the Democrats is a right AND a must! I just hope that the Democrats have long memories because I sure am never forgetting all those nasty things the Republicans have said about the President and the Democrats and their ugly attempts at vote suppression. I say screw the compromise that the media et al. are pushing. The President was given a mandate with his re-election, it is time for him to stand firm and do what he was sent there to do i.e. put a final beat down on the Republicans and all their crazy ass ideas. It is f'ing offensive and he posted it AGAIN! Hilarious! I actually do not support legalizing marijuana, but if it will get people out to vote in midterm and state elections, I am so there.

Rove did not fleece anyone. Rove or not, those plutocrats hate President Obama and the lower classes, they were always going to spend millions to attempt the manipulate the electorate. The Koch brothers and their ilk through ALEC and other ways have been working for years to push their conservative agenda. While I am happy that they got defeated, this is only one victory over their money and attempts at social engineering. It is going to be a long hard fight holding the line against the plutocrats going forward.

All this bluster and outrage from the same person who posted a supposedly "funny" image which included a picture of the President in a Nazi uniform. What a hypocrite. I wanted to cuss his ass out for posting that image, but didn't bother and here he is having a meltdown.

I find it very hard to believe that article. I simply don't believe that the Romney team honestly did not know that they were in trouble. I remember reading when George H.W. Bush lost that his people knew that it was going to happen. The Romney team had to know even if they did not say it out loud.

Chris Matthews on Hardball said that the story about the campaign credit cards did not work is true and that Romney lost his secret service protection that night. Ah, the hardknock life of being the wealthy entitled losers. I find it hard to believe, but if it is true that the Romney team was "shellshocked" by their loss, the reality of the polls, voter turnout for the President, and that they were so arrogant that they never prepared a concession speech, then then they are truly the dumbest of the dumbest to EVER participate in the political process. I am comforted that "Team Rape" as coined by Stephen Colbert allo lost their elections.
