"The Divided States of America"

Aside from perhaps a hint of civil war, it would appear at this point that all the "clues" were nothing at all. One link reads "ROMNEY CONCEDES: Appeals for End of Partisan Bickering", which lines up with what I said about him being a "bait and switch" for the libertarians at the RNC.

I see the GOP as I see Cleveland sports teams: pretending to be professionals but really just a high-end farm team for everyone else. And as many have said, it's just more evidence for the lack of any real choice. The GOP's purpose is to merely keep the straying sheep in the fold. I am glad I "voted my conscience" this time, rather than "the lesser of two evils".

As someone said in the thread that followed the results yesterday, it's time to bury ourselves in meaningless entertainment and ask ourselves why anyone should work in a welfare state. And as someone else said, the sinkhole disaster would be welcome now; no more of this stupid game.
