3. Heres a bare ass salute to every silver spoon pasty faced twit in this category.

You can all go F^(( yourselves. Your candidates are just as spoiled rotten, selfish and self righteous as yourselves. None of you would survive the life I've lived. I slept under the same "thousand points of light" Daddy Bush said would help me. I slept on park benches and buses for lack of a home. I ate at shleters when I could stand the smell of the other homeless. I lived days on end without even a hot dog. I showered at the beach at the end of the bus line each morning. Then I turned right around and attended college classes with students who had slept in a bed that night. I studied riding excursions on BART. Monthly fast pass was my transport and many times my home. Yes the food stamps and assistance I eventually collected to help me get through got spent on a good steak and potatoes when I could afford it. If it weren't for the government helping me I wouldn't have a degree, a profession and a home now. Pell Grants and Perkins loan helped, but paid no rent. That was 22 years ago and I survived it. I had guns in my face three times taking what little I had. Young drunks threw their bottles at me in the park where I was trying to find a place to sleep. I got kicked in the head by an old grumpy park maintenence man telling me to get lost one morning. I got medical care for the wounds inflicted from these crimes at General Hospital.
Yet the worst crime I hear of is a republican saying those in need of assistance just want "free stuff".

I'm so glad you overcame. That video was too good, all those old bags with jowls crying their eyes out, so hilarious. Let's make them suicidal in 2014!

5. What's sad is that they just don't understand what the ramifications would have been if Romney won

What's sad is that they just don't understand what the ramifications would have been if Romney won. OR even more sad is they do and they still are sad.

This is what comes to mind for me:

controlling nightmare. The adults doing the indoctrination of these vulnerable young minds should be sent to their own "special camp " these sick Cretans., creating a future of hate and intolerance against the non believers.

At the end of this video I had the same thoughts. The old people I "sort of understand"-those stuck in the '50s, but all the young ones-shedding tears. Yikes!! Who has thought them this garbage??? -it saddened me. crunch, perhaps there is a "special camp" .

themselves - didn't know that they were quite likely going to lose. How could they have they have not known? Don 't they check the derivative markets like Intrade? Don't they read the nonpartisan political scientist statisticians like Nate Silver? Sure, it was possible Romney could have won - but it was always a long shot. How could they possibly not have known that?

far enough past their cloistered circles to know that there's a real world out here, a world that is real and sane...

Those poor, sad, foolish, white sheeple. I think the worst thing is that they teach their children to think the way they do and chastise the school system for not participating in the brainwashing.

And I wish they'd read the Constitution and understand that they need to keep their religion to themselves and not try to foist whatever they believe on everyone else.

Was I the only one who was smiling through that whole video??? Sorry to admit it, but I couldn't help but smile to see these people cry - these people who wanted the country to go in the wrong direction.

I do not enjoy other people hurting. I find no humor in that.
The Sad part about this video is those people are upset about the changing of the face of the United States of America. I remember after the president was elected in 2008 a woman cry that she wanted "her America back". Her America? White America!!
That Idea of her America really set me wanting to be sure that Our America stays. I am a white male 65 years old, and very proud of my president

I've been around since Eisenhower (the last good Republican). All progressive changes in the US, civil rights, voting rights, gender equality, etc., have been met with very hot resistance but in the end progressive policies always prevail. The losers shown in the video are experiencing the five stages of grief and will get over it when Democrats kick their asses one more time in 2014. GOBAMA!

such a fine cross section of 'traditional' americans. So sad. Oh I feel so.... glad. I can't feel sorry for rombots with no capacity to think things to their logical conclusion. I hope the flowing tears keep flowing especially that first person, every night, in their beer, blubbering all over the place.
