Can’t we all just get along?
I TOLD YOU THAT PRESIDENT BO WOULD WIN. DIDN’T I?
Rachel Maddow on MSNBC made a direct reference to the chaos at the Faux Right-Wing Propaganda Network when Karl Rove went ballistic. I switched to the FRWPN and saw it for myself! As they say in the Master Card commercials: priceless!
It’s just funny looking at the demographics
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2229225/Presidential-election-2012-Record-number-Hispanic-voters-head-polls.html
I thought MSNBC was the place for politics?
My God they got their butts handed to them.
Congratulations Obama and America for 4 more years
I hope the coming years will bring the best of prosperity to this country.
And I hope that the republicans will fix the problem of their party. As many sane conservative said, conservatism is a great governing policy but today it’s defined by the insanity of Fox News and Radio talk.
The republicans won 60% of the white vote but that wasn’t even close enough to win the elections. They lost +70% of Latinos, +90% of Blacks, +70% of Asians, +50% of women and +60% of young voters.
Texas, Arizona, Georgia , the Carolinas and many other red state are witnessing major demographic changes, more minorities and at some point near the future they’ll become majority. Not to mention atheism and people identifying themselves as “non religious” is at all time high.
If the republicans continue at the same way, they’ll even lose Texas,Arizona, Georgia and the Carolinas. That’s about 100 electoral votes, we might not see a republican president for very long time.
It’s time for the republican party to show the American people that they’re serious about serving this country by working with Obama, cool down their tone on religious and social issues, reach to appeal to more demographics and move away from loons of Fox News and Talk Radio.
Now you have to think what is better Karl Rove a guest contributor going ballistic or Chris Matthews the show anchor going ballistic?
Both tend to be high strung to start out with. When the anchor goes ballistic it pretty bad they are the ones that are suppose to keep it together and try to get the guests to loose it.
Can’t we all just get along?
While channel turning last night, it was my pleasure to watch LIVE the Carl Rove melt down on FOX. He came apart.
fox wins night cnn wins demo & msnbc wins well i cant find anything they won
The reason why Karl Rove melted is because he and many righties are living in a fantasy world where Fox News brainwash them everyday that the liberal media is lying to them about the poll and everything else. So when they wake up to reality, they just refuse to believe it :

Where’s Scilian Papa, Coffee dude and the rest
There must have been on suicide watch all night? Hope everyone is still safe and sound-AND WE SHALL GET THROUGH THESE FOUR TOO! Suckers…
I like CNN Contributor Erick Erickson Shocks Panel By Declaring ‘Voters Want Gridlock’
“voters want their cake and they want to eat it, too. They want big government and they want small government at the same time. Voters want gridlock.”
I think that he is a little off the mark. When you have Democrats controling both houses and WH you get Bigger Government and When you have Republicans controling both houses and WH you get Bigger Government. When you have both houses of Congress are controled by different Parties you get Gridlock.
When you have both houses of Congress controled by one party and the WH controled by the other Party you get comprimise.
But yes the American electorit did vote conflict and gridlock. They don’t trust either party. I wonder why.
Well if you watch the video and this is a “melt down” and he “came apart”??
Karl Rove Causes Fox News Chaos By Challenging Obama Victory Projection

BBL
@freak
your a moron
First off, if Karl Rove had a ‘meltdown’ I would hate to see what you guys call what Chris Matthews does on a regular basis. Karl Rove was questioning why they were calling Ohio so early, I thought Liberals loved it when you question the establishment. Like all things when it comes to Liberalism it depends on whom you question!!
I know it makes your blood boil when I say the only reason you win elections is because of your propaganda wing. I am sorry but it is true. A Republican could never get away with Libya. A Republican would get crushed by hurricane Sandy if people were starving and freezing five days after the storm.
You get so angry and condescending when I point these things out but you never dispute what I say. So I will ask the question.
Would a Republican get attacked for Libya and Sandy everyday until election day by the propaganda wing of the progressive movement?
You know it’s true. If we get a forth network broadcast that attacks our side but also attacks yours you will lose.
Propaganda is powerful thing and the people in the corrupt media know it.
@
RedBarSoup
You call me sad for simply telling the truth. Right now I can’t watch the media gloat. In time I will be back watching them. I will report bias here on a daily basis. You refute it with facts and prove to me that I am wrong.
@
Matthew
I admitted the polls where right. I won’t admit I’m wrong when I can prove I am right. When it comes to the corrupt media I will prove I am right. Matthew your side can’t win without the corrupt media.
CNN is on FIRE!!!
CNN wins both Total Day Demo and Primetime Demo.
Ouch!!! That’s gotta hurt.
Second, I intercepted this e-mail from the President of the United States:
From: Barack Obama
To: Mainstream Media(or NFM for short)
Subject: Election
THANK YOU!!!!
It would be nice if the liberal posters could keep the schadenfreude to a minimum. I know we liberals are excited, but good people with different, deeply held convinctions do not need to be piled on. I think the election was, for the most part, clear enough.
What do you think of what Matthews said about the storm and how it helped the President? He tried to clarify but that was worse than anything Rove said
@ Bobbyv – I was watching when Chris Matthews said what he said – it was 2 AM and he was clearly tired and he immediately clarified what he meant. I think that this is different from someone who makes a fool of himself on live television at 10 pm. Fox News should not have had a republican campaign operative who was working for serveral republican candidates doing analysis that night.
