Michelle Malkin is trying to put as positive a spin on the catastrophe as she can. I appreciate it, Michelle. But It’s almost impossible to make a shit sandwich taste like any thing other than a shit sandwich.
Her bottom 10:
11. Voters rejected tax hike ballot measures in Arizona, South Dakota, and Missouri.
12. Louisiana voted to protect gun rights.
13. Kentucky voted to protect hunting and fishing rights.
14. Parental notification for minors’ abortion prevailed in Montana.
15. North Carolina Republicans claimed the governor’s office, congressional gains, and control of the state’s general assembly.
16. Paul Ryan will return to Congress after winning re-election and continue to carry the torch for entitlement reform and budget discipline.
17. Conservatives won big victories in the Kansas state legislature.
18. Republicans won historic supermajorities in Tennessee.
19.Across the country, Republicans reached a post-2000 record number of gubernatorial victories.
20. Conservatives who were devastated by the national election results demonstrated how to lose with dignity and grace. There will be finger-pointing and recriminations and soul-searching, but committed activistscan’t and won’t lose heart. We’ll regroup, recover, and keep fightingfor our country.
Go visit her site to read the top 10.
My number one of course is that I still live in Texas, where Democrats were once again whipped across the state, not winning a single state-wide election (again), and where Ted Cruz is the next senator from Texas, replacing the squishy Kay Bailey Hutchison.

you looked at an election map Robbie? the entire area along the border from gulf to the border with New Mexico went BLUE in the house race and probably the presidental one as well I’d bet. Tad worrisome that. There is ENTIRELY too much of this state that’s BLUE for my taste on the voting map. :/

I take some issue with that, given your statements the other day:
Last night, Obama — a corrupt, vile, and incompetent man — defeated Romney who is a virtuous and generous man. Elizabeth Warren, a woman who faked being an American Indian to benefit from affirmative action and also guilty of practicing law without a license, was elected to the US Senate. Jesse Jackson Jr., who has not been seen or heard of in more than 4 months, was re-elected from the Mayo Clinic.
I am a lifelong conservative who disagrees with Obama on just about every point. However, to throw around this kind of invective feeds into a counterproductive gridlock. The other guy is less likely to compromise if you’re calling him stupid, vile or whatnot.
The best way to show dignity and grace is to quietly assert yourself next election by voting Republican. If you explain yourself, do it without ad hominem attacks. Obama may be the most misguided president of our lifetimes, but it’s unpatriotic to not show him the respect (if not necessarily agreement) his office deserves.
THAT is how to lose an election with grace and dignity. So far, I haven’t seen either of those qualities here.
Sorry, but I have no intention to compromise on my values or morals. Those on the Left who wish to destroy our nation, to steal the wealth of the producers to hand out to the moochers and slackers, those whose goal is to minimize the role of religion and family and replace it with moral degeneracy and a reliance on government, those who desire the annihilation of of Israel, those who denigrate the military while worshiping Hollywood’s false idols — These people? These people are my enemy.
And if you believe that Reid, Pelosi, and Barack Hussein Obama have any intentions of compromising with Conservatives, you have not been paying attention, have you.
Read what far-Left NY Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote today in a piece titled Let’s Not Make a Deal:
So Mike, you go ahead and try to find your common ground with these folks. Me? I’m waging war. Get in the trenches with me, or get the fuck out of the way.
^This^
In addition, this isn’t a football game, this is a war between conservatives who wish to preserve our freedom and liberty, and socialists who are HELL bent in destroying them. I have no interest in shaking hands with them and saying “good game.” They are my enemies, I want them destroyed.
And may I add again – those that have my children pick up the slack for school supplies/free school uniforms/free scholastic books; those that partake in that handout of a “universal” school breakfast and free school lunch. These freeloader parents have money for cigarettes (smoking up a storm in fron of our school) but use my tax dollars and my share of the school supplies to subsidize their kiddies’ academic involvement!!! I so wish Obama would do something about this failure of No Child Left Behind free handout of a program but than again, his daughters go to private school. What a phony!!!!
Perhaps it would also be worth mentioning that Judge Sharon Keller was re-elected to Texas CCA and Anderson wins Harris County D.A. race getting rid of Pink Pat Lykos in the process..The folks of California kicked out Proposition 34, to repeal the death sentence, despite a massive campaign of misinformation, shady accounting and spin that outspent retentionists 25 dollars to 1.
Good news indeed Andy – especially about the failure of Prop 34. The moderators at AmnestyUSA blog on that issue started deleting my post these last two weeks
They must be so hurt over there (you reading this Julia!!)
