| We at Townhall have been covering this hotly contested Senate race for months and the results are finally in: With 36 percent of precincts reporting, Elizabeth Warren has been declared the next junior Senator from Massachusetts. Warren has never held public office before and the eye-popping $40 million she raised this election cycle evidently proved more than enough to unseat incumbent Senator Scott Brown. This was the most expensive Senate race of 2012 -- by a long shot.

The voters of massachusetts have a long history of voting like idiots, sending a murderous drunk, dead ted kennedy, back to the senate again and again. And they kept sending Barney Frank, the man who allowed a homosexual dating service to be run out of his home and his office, back to the House. So while I find a whole lot of craziness in their history, they outdid themselves with elizabeth warren, a fraudster ...

As I posted on another thread, "Going Galt" will now be the new norm for the producers. As expressed in different ways on this thread, the America that was great is no more. I too will back even further out of the "public" arena of supporting non-profits, etc. No more donations to anybody or anything, neither time nor money.
No more taking on risks to generate jobs. No more taking risks to generate revenue to pay the pigs at the public trough. I have been slowly winding down my business and will now begin the process of getting rid of it or closing it.
I am going to be a "taker", taking SS retirement as soon as possible, while there is anything left to take.
Comfortable but not extravegant living from here on out, and if necessary, subsistance level.
I am done.

Good. They deserve everything they get. The lies, the deceit, the image they elected. Turns out it wasn't the people's seat but was Ted Kennedy's seat after all. You take every tax increase, every cry for heads of the 1%, every taker in the lower echelons of life...they're yours. You who voted for Brown, well God bless, but the takers are going to take, the system is going to take, and the system is going to redistribute. You have nothing to say about it. If an outright proven fraud can be elected, so emboldened will they be to exact their revenge that there is little recourse. Little to none. OK, none.

Your only hope of staying in the US at this point is Porto Rico or Guam
If leave for Coasta Rica or anywhere else you need to give up your your US citizenship. It is really that simply the US will still tax you over seas otherwise.
South Korea is a good Place.
Even rather socialistic places like Australia are going to be better than the US in four years.
As long as you stay in the major cities like Shanghai and Beijing even China might be better - and less corrupt
Otherwise look at the Philippines

Presumably we can condlude that there now exists two people vying for the title of Top Fraud.
The White House fraud got his "you didn't build it" phase from the fake Indian. I guess this makes him the top fraud since he is yet to come up with anything memorable. I doubt that he'll find any original thoughts of his teleprompter. Hence he'll be able to continue his masquerade as an actual person.

Yesterday, I called my sister an ignoramous for voting for Barry & demonrat congressman. She hung up on me. She admitted that she didn't know issues and could care less about any of them. She votes for who's lieable and who is more liable to give out more freebees. She even argued with me and said Barry didn't control both houses of congress for two years and demonrats could do anything they wanted and chose the failed non-stimulous and a couple trillion death bill. But then, she's a taker and all takers simply want more. She's 73 so I wonder what her attitude is going to be when those bureaucrats hand down the verdict that she's too old to waste medical payments on and she should just relax with an aspirin.

I too, no longer wish to support the "takers." I was trying to decide whether to donate $2,500 to Romney's campaign or to the Salvation Army for disaster relief efforts in New York and New Jersey. I have decided not to donate for disaster relief -- let the liberals take care of their own problems. Our tax dollars will be poured into New York and New Jersey because they are liberal/Dem states anyway.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking. The polling, which also showed a tight race in Pennsylvania, explains why Romney officials decided to send their candidate on last-minute Election Day visits to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides. Obama and Romney ran dead even in final polls that hinted at a result rivaling some of the closest presidential elections in history, reflecting the deep political

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

Mitt Romney is leading among independents in both Ohio and Virginia, early exit polls show. In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama.

As expected, the presidential race is tight in Ohio, where the polls just closed: President Obama is winning women 55 percent to 44 percent in the early CBS News exit poll, while Mitt Romney is leading 52 percent to 46 percent among men. Women made up 51 percent of the electorate, compared to 49 percent among women. Thirty-nine percent of voters so far identified themselves as Democrats, compared to 30 percent calling themselves Republican. Thirty-one percent identified as independent or something else, and Romney has a big edge among this group - 56 percent to 40 percent for Mr. Obama.

As expected, Republican candidate for President, Mitt Romney, won West Virginia’s five electoral votes in Tuesday’s General Election over President Barack Obama. National media outlets called the race in West Virginia shortly after polls closed at 7:30 p.m. President Obama’s fate in West Virginia has never been in question, as he garnered just 60 percent of the democratic vote in the May primary. The other 40 percent of that vote went to Texas federal inmate Keith Judd, who was placed on the ballot in West Virginia. President Obama has been hugely unpopular in the Mountain State since he first ran

Early exit polls show Election Day voters are slightly more Republican than in 2008 and broadly concerned about the state of the U.S. economy. Six in 10 voters said the economy is their top issue according to the poll, which was released by The Associated Press and conducted on behalf of a consortium of media companies. Less than a quarter of voters said their families were better off than four years ago — a point seized on by many Republicans as the results leaked out.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
