Laura, that's kind of what I wrote about last night. It's still up, if you want to take a peek.

IOinternetN, I will likely go back to residing here and staying the heck away from Facebook for a time.

Come back to our loving arms! Also, when Obama won Florida, I pumped my fist and said, "That's for Laura!"

I will selectively peek, javachik.

It was a beloved cousin of DH that was the final blow. She has 2 gay children that she loves unconditionally, another child is an unwed mother, she has personally been on any number of government assistance programs, and she actually posted...

Hey, I got a great idea! All who voted for Obama pay for his plan. And the 47%... you adopt them and move em into your house. How many of you will line up for that? the rest of us will take care of outselves.

Yes, I left the typo because I am feeling mean and bitter at the moment. I am so grateful for this place to vent my frustration. I am really trying to equate it with my devastation when Bush was elected, each time. I remember Nilly's words of comfort. I also remember sobbing in a curled up ball of dysfunction.

It is part my desire for non-confrontation, and part my knowledge that you can't argue with a crazy person. But I just have to step away because I do love this cousin, and I just don't understand, and never will.

Barney Frank quoted his bumper sticker tonight on Rachel's show that just tickled me. He said he had it made up himself. "Vote Democratic, We're not perfect, but they're nuts." Love ya, Barney.

Also, love ya, Buffistas. Also love my Republican friends and hope for their sakes that they abandon the Akin-Palin-Trump-Rove-Ryan-Etc crazy wing of their party and go back to a reasonable difference of opinion type candidates.

I just quickly peeked back and YES, I did see that this morning and was nodding like mad.

Also, when Obama won Florida, I pumped my fist and said, "That's for Laura!"

I don't mind at all that Ohio took the prize of granting the president another term, but I so wanted it to be Florida. Last time I looked they still hadn't made it official that we went Obama. smh - see, I still have some non-fogy ability due to having texting teen children.

It's official. Or at least Romney conceded it.

I saw your post javachik and it made me feel immense gratitude that my Republican family members are NOT posting anything rude. Of course, none of the rest of us are openly gloating either. I guess we're all voting on a good holiday season instead. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that kind of thing. It would make me angry too.

I am SOO not looking forward to this holiday season's visiting.

Thanks, Burrell. The thing is, they don't post on my FB or even on their own stream (for the most part). It was the ticker on the right side (where it says so and so posted on so and so's wall, etc) where I clicked a few times in the past couple of weeks. That's where I could see the crap. It was depressing. And it was just also a message, in general, to that segment of the population who sincerely doesn't get why anyone would ever want to have their taxes go to for the good of someone else.

Actually, according to Nate Silver it was Colorado that provided the tipping point this time.

I'm all out of internet, and still waiting for TCG to get home.
