Uh, are you allowed to do that? I don't think President Bartlett would let them do that.
Heh, Dana....
I don't think I've ever looked up my number before! I must have been grey on the WhatsMa#! sessions...
I DO feel empathy for a lot of Republicans emotional response; I remember being fucking DEVASTATED by W's wins (even though I am STILL pissed about "Win" #1) but I am NOT sorry that Obama won, because I think Romney/Ryan were factually, research-based horrifying candidates for any even mildly moderate person to contemplate. Mod Repub OR Dem.
This is not to say I am entirely gloat-free. I am SO not that good a person. I restricted myself to 1 REALLY funny sic on FB about the electionin general.
(But I will post as many HELL YEAH MARRIAGE EQUALITY pics as I wish, because I don't feel badly about people who are against it at all. That goes completely against my beliefs and I don't care whose delicate baby feelings get hurt.)
I'm number 6.
I am not a number, I am a free - oh wait, I'm number 20.
My number is up there, but I'm always surprised to discover my number is lower than some people who in my head space have been here "forever".
(I'm number 6.)
So you're secretly Number 1?
Boehner and McConnell refused to take the President's call on Election Night.
The lack of respect and hypocrisy from the modern Republican party appalls me. Their Presidents should always be shown utmost respect and followed without question by everyone, but they always treat Democratic Presidents as usurpers.

You stay classy, reactionaries.

Bwahahahahaha!!!
On the credit card thing, I'm sure it was months ago that someone decided that campaign expenses needed to stop as of the election, which meant November 6, so auto-cancelled the cards as of 11/6. But of course people were leaving the event after midnight. I don't know, it just seems like the kind of thing that made sense at the time.
That's the kind of short-sightedness that makes me even happier team Romney lost. If you can't even look ahead at possible events for your own people, I don't want you running the country (not that I would want them if they hadn't done that).

Yeah, but it's not like it was everyone's first time running a campaign. They had to know the expenses don't just stop as soon as the polls close.
Huh. I've never read this before:
Gay marriage votes and Andrew Sullivan: His landmark 1989 essay making a conservative case for gay marriage. - Slate Magazine
In 1989, most Americans had never even heard of gay marriage, and certainly couldn’t conceive that it would one day be legalized by popular vote. That year, Andrew Sullivan wrote a landmark essay for the New Republic, “Here Comes the Groom: A (Conservative) Case for Gay Marriage.” Sullivan’s essay is one of the most important magazine articles of recent decades. His argument, which he went on to elaborate in his books Virtually Normal and Same-Sex Marriage and in later essays, is that marriage for gays would “foster social cohesion, emotional security, and economic prudence.” Sullivan’s conservative case would eventually become the intellectual and moral foundation of the campaigns to legalize gay marriage. Sullivan gave Slate permission to reprint his New Republic essay in full.
The idea that gay marriage is consistant with conservative values was kind of an "out there" idea in 1989, right?
