...I do NOT believe Mitt is a good man, a kind man, an empathetic man. I believe he has definite sociopathic issues. I also believe his vast fortune is somewhat "blood money," garnered from taking advantage of rich-guy financial loopholes.

In short, I do believe Romney IS somewhat of a villain, and I definitely believe this country has dodged a bullet by not electing Romney/Ryan.

I'm just so happy Prez O is now a two-term President. The only Dem since FDR and Clinton to be a two-termer. I didn't get much sleep last night, but I woke up on the moon this morning. We went to hang out downtown with Norman Goldman and had a blast. It was an incredible night for the Dems and women and minorities and liberal white men and America! And non-billionaires. And pot smokers (1st state in the nation!). And marriage equality is on its way to be coming official.

....and discussing how to move the country forward (or into its future) with Mitt Romney?


Seriously....why the f*ck would POTUS or anyone want Mitt Romney's opinion? It will change from minute to minute anyway? The man is IRRELEVANT....he has no political future. Serves no elected office. Is not an "influencer" (unless you are counting memebers of his church perhaps or the 1%).

Why? So that our President appears inclusive? That our President shows Respect?

Because I for one never want to see Romney again nor care what his opinions are....He is done enough damage.

I can't think of any reason why anyone would be seeking Romney's advice on anything.
Well...except for advice on how to put Americans out of work and send their jobs overseas, or how to shelter money in tax havens.

I am in complete agreement that there is absolutely nothing to seek in advisement from Mitt Romney other than how to shelter and avoid taxes, put Americans out of work, ship jobs overseas and how to lie without batting an eyelash.

Wed Nov 7, 2012, 11:42 AM

by their voting choice in Senators:

Elizabeth Warren...first female Senator from Massachusetts
Tammy Baldwin...first gay female Senator from Wisconsin

Perhaps one of the last hurdles is the demographic that came out for Democrats in a big way...young, female, middle class, minority voters. This is bound to inspire (and fund?) many who are already waiting in the wings as we bid a not-so-fond farewell to the polar opposite demographic that has held control.

Having been blindsided in 2000 and 2004, I was holding my breath during this one.

But we won we won we won we won - and not just the White House. Yay Sherrod Brown, Elizabeth Warren, both Tammys, and a lot of others.

I'm a wuss, but I cried all during Our President's victory speech.
