“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.” - Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835.

Only in America can so many states vote for Romney yet still he loses. I can't take four more years of watching that son of a bitch strut.
Well.
I don't even know what to think.
Even if God struck him and Biden down, idiots obviously would vote another in.
They'd probably vote Pelosi in.
It is a sad night for America.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are screwed.
we are doomed!
Rome is burning.
Haven't seen you in a while Babs. Hope things are okay.
Hi Rita. Wayward Babs has returned. Been busy at work, so not online as much. And now, sorry to say, I'll be in a deep depression for awhile.
Still can't believe it. Apparently a lot of people have NOT been PAYING ATTENTION for the last four years.
