Finally, it’s Friday again. Three days since election night, and my teabagger conrgresscritter is refusing to concede her loss, despite being down by about 14,000 votes. In order to win, she’d need to win the outstanding absentee and affidavit ballots by about 4-1. This is a bit beyond unlikely, but I’m sure she figures god is on her side and will put this out for her. Also not too happy with all that democracy that went on Tuesday is Allen West, who, despite being down by more votes than would trigger an automatic recount, is demanding a recount due to “irregularities” in the vote. The people have spoken, but poor Al doesn’t like what they had to say.
And of course we all know that Karl Rove isn’t happy with the way things turned out, either. Now he seems to be saying the election is bullshit because of Obama’s “voter suppression,” which, he says, was caused by Obama running mean ads against Romney and Bain (Rove, as we all know, just hates those negative ads). So, what I think Rove is saying is that Romney lost because he got fewer votes than Obama did.
I won’t even get into Rush Limbaugh or Donald Trump or Ted Nugent, because I find it hard to believe that anybody actually cares what those clowns have to say.
Of course, that post-election glow is all but faded by now, and we’re about to have House Republicans drive the bus off the fiscal cliff. It’s all quite tiresome. I think Obama should send a drone after them.
