    “It was lies told by those lying liers from that lying Right-wing hate rag of lies. That’s why we lost. The Right uses lies and dirty tricks to win. We on the Left are too nice and soft-spoken, that’s why we lost. We don’t use enough sneaky underhanded tactics, unlike those McBushHitler hate-mongers.”

    Oh, wait! Scratch that. There’s still hope – and change. Obama is still President for two more years and I don’t want to miss out on all the cool stuff he says and does. Maybe he’ll finally declare himself King and we can all live in the country we all should have.

    Journolist2 members,

    Don’t worry everybody, this will play out just like in 1994 when the Repubes took back Congress and unwittingly helped our hero Bill Clinton to get reelected.

    They will put Barry Soetoro under lock and key to prevent him from any more spending. The Repubes will pass a few bills to get unemployement down and create a bunch of meaningless burger flipping jobs.

    When 2012 comes along and unemployement is at 8% and the housing market has stopped bleeding, we’ll pass all the credit to Barry’s programs and blame Repubes that if not for them and their obstructionism, unemployment would be back to 7% and roses would be blooming.

    Also to the worry warts amongst us, fret not fellow journolistas. The Chinese that are running the server for our uber-secret website have promised that our posts will never leave China. We just need to be sure to keep up our pro-China propoganda in return for their services.
