The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is definitely not socialized medicine. In fact, the whole concept was created by a nutjob at the conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation and embraced by Republicans which is why Romney implemented it in Massachusetts when he was governor. The whole idea of an individual mandate i.e. requiring everyone purchase health insurance is from their ideology that everyone should should take responsibility for their health care and buy health care insurance from competitive for-profit health insurance companies. Liberals and progressives never wanted that type of health care reform. We have always pushed for a single payer system, where everyone would pay for their health care through their paychecks like Medicare/Medicaid and the government would negotiate the prices of health care services with the health insurance companies to keep overall costs down. Of course, we were betrayed by some of the Congressional Democrats and losers like Joseph Lieberman who had been bought and paid for by health insurance companies. The compromise was to adopt the Affordable Care Act which is better than nothing, but once the President and Congressional Democrats decided to compromise on a plan than none of them really liked or supported, the Republicans decided that they HATED their OWN health care reform plan and that it was socialized medicine. All these people are corrupt losers.

It is called being a typical Republican.

I had the same thought watching him embarrass himself on Hardball. What is even more interesting is that I am pretty sure that he got the information about the Obama number crunchers from a Time article that I read first thing this morning. Listening to him regurgitate the article convinced me that he had absolutely no access to the Obama campaign. This is probably one of the reasons that he was merely offering up the Republican talking points throughout the campaign. Here is the link to the article: http://swampland.time.com/2012/11/07/inside-the-secret-world-of-quants-and-data-crunchers-who-helped-obama-win/

These conservative loons are a minority even in the mainstream media. They are talking to their conservative supporters who live in the racist bigoted bubble with them. I am pleased that they continue to delude themselves. All it does is drive most of the growing coalition further away them. The white working class in the midwest and educated whites in the rest of the country heard this spiel from Reilly, Limbaugh, etc. througout the election, rejected it, and will continue to do so.

Chris Matthews is apologizing for his comments about Sandy being a good thing. He sounds very sincere and as he is trying not cry. Kudos to him for this honest unreserved apology.

Bwah. You know all the women usually have to stay out reach. OMG, Diane Sawyer was drunk! She must have a serious problem if she could not stay away from the booze before this broadcast. I wish we had a bubble over Stephanopoulos' head to see what he was thinking with that smile pasted on his face.

I am so deliriously happy this morning and a bit loopy from tiredness. Last night was a tremendous victory for "we the people" against the plutocrats who used their millions to try and buy the election and suppress the vote of minorities. From the early voting demographics (can't wait to see how Nate breaks it down), "we the people" formed a mass coalition of young people, women, the white working class, African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and other minorities fought back against voter suppression, standing in long lines, to protect our futures, reject deceit and the interests of the 1% so we can build a better country together. Absolutely amazing! Kudos to all of us.

Kudos to whoever helped the President write that speech, but the President's passionate delivery was moving and sold it. I love how he embraced the diversity of America and reminded us that it is "we the people." The President sees the real America, the Republicans do not.

Excellent acceptance speech by the President.

Great acceptance speech so far! Seriously, Biden better not think of running for President. Awww, I love his tribute to his wife and daughters.

So much for less Democratic enthusiasm. Yay, the President and his family. The girls have gotten so big!

The President has arrived!

I am surprised that the media is not still claiming that it was still a "toss up." LOL! They all need to shut it.

Take your clan and head for the hills or from wherever whence you came. Go away, Romney, and do not come back!

Good riddance to that mendacious sociopath! I never want to see him in politics again. What a snake oil salesman. He would have been another Nixon.

$91 million for two elections and no win for McMahon. Romney speaking at 12:55 a.m. Finally.

Romney was an entitled bully as teenager, an entitled bully as a presidential candidate, and now that he has met his match and lost to a classier nastier fighter, Romney is acting like a spoilt entitled bully and refusing to concede defeat. He has no grace, no class, no style, and he deserves no respect.

Someone please tell Romney to accept that he was not able to buy most of the electorate so he will concede, let the President make his acceptance speech so I can go to bed. Yay, Virginia!

Anyone watching FOX? Rove was thrown under the bus as he had a meltdown. LOL!

That map shows that Nate remains a stat god. Screw the pundits and their irrational attacks. Kudos to everyone who stood in lines for hours determine to vote and not to let the Republicans suppress the vote.

I am so sick of the media claiming that this is a center left country. BS. The losers in the red states who suck this country's resources do not represent the country as a whole.

The President will win the popular vote.

Like I said, landslide. Florida is coming through. I hope that Nate Silver rubs the political pundits' faces in the dirt and shovels crow into their mouths.

Romney is not conceding. LOL!

I love that Joe Scarborough is in hiding. Last presidential election, he ran out of the studio early. This time, he did not bother to show up. LOL!
