since when was contraception and abortion part of the campaign? The Republicans campaigned on the economy.

The lesson here is one side cannot count on dictating the terms on which the election will be fought. Well, a lesson. Don't let your rape-apologists talk to the press if you can avoid it would be another.

And all of my libertarian friends who think the problem is that Romney didn’t say he was okay with contraception and abortion — since when was contraception and abortion part of the campaign?

That poor baby, all those crazy liberal lies! He's so confused! It's so hard to do a Google search on "republican convention platform" and click the first non-news link and then scroll down to "Defending Marriage Against An Activist Judiciary," "A Sacred Contract: Defense of Marriage," and oh look--"The Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life." Yeah, since when is something specified as part of the official Republican campaign platform supposed to have anything to do with the official Republican campaign platform? Sheesh!

Note to everyone: The party platform is not part of the campaign.

Incidentally, has someone made a userpic of that "drinking republican tears" .gif? because I'd like to use it right about now.

We’re horrible, uncaring people. We hate everyone. We’re stupid too. We’re something out of a comedic routine.

Yep, that about sums it up.

Damn it, that's what I came here to say!

Also, she's kind of annoying to have on a WFC panel.

There is actually a commenter proposing revolt, going Galt or succession as possible solutions. Apparently in all seriousness.

I need read conservative blogs. Maybe I should, it's fascinating.

Because turnabout is fair play, this is for James from "Fail Burton":

Being involved in SF has nothing to do with it per se. SF has wandered in political correctness to a degree that is staggering. Most of this is due to how much it’s been mainstreamed. 40 years ago SF literature was a still rather obscure genre inhabited by professional but aging writers with little access to their fan-base. Politics didn’t matter; good story-telling and writing did. ...

It gets worse.

I still say all the tea partiers should go to Somalia, and prove to the world just how much liberal civilization has been holding them down.

As pointed out elsewhere, when your response to "our rape-apologising candidate lost" is "which one?"... you've got a serious problem.

I feel a bit sorry for those crying crocodile tears over Romney losing. When Bush won re-election in 2004 at least I could listen to Randy Newman perform his "A Few Words In Defense of Our Country" at the Winnipeg Folk Festival and laugh. What does the losing side in 2012 have to listen to? Meat Loaf. Ted Nugent. I'd be crying too.
