Electoral Sour Grapes

[Spoony]

We talked about this last night, but here it is.

There are some out there who are going to go on pissing and moaning about how shortsighted America was in electing Obama. So here they are... post all the the sore losers you can find.

I didn't think the first one I'd find would be Ralph Nader. I thought it would be a video of Nazi's in PA beating up mailboxes, but I guess it's the grey-faced liberal icon (seriously, this guy makes McCain look like Daniel Radcliff). I can't tell you how disappointed I am in this guy. To be called out by Fox News?

Even McCain had a gracious concession speech, and Nader just does everything he can to alienate himself from the people like me who used to support him or others that would have listened to him to try to find a balance between Left and Far Left.

Dick. I wasted my 20's on you.

The funniest part of this is the soft "boo" that goes out from behind the camera in the beginning.

Who else is out there?

I'm about to swear off my daily regimen of political blogs but there are some doozies today:

Sour Loser   [John Derbyshire]
Just watched Wonder Boy’s speech. Hmph. “Callused hands?” When did he ever have callused hands?

All right, I'm sour. The most liberal member of the U.S. Senate! And that shakedown-artist of a wife, with the permanent frown! And Joe Biden! …

I'm sour about the GOP too. What did it all get us, those 8 years of pandering and spending? If GWB had turned his face against new entitlements, closed the borders, deported the illegals, held the line on calls to loosen mortgage-lending standards, starved the Department of Education, and declined those invitations to mosque functions, would the GOP be in any worse shape now?

What won this election was the packaging skills of David Axelrod, the swooning complicity of the media, the ruthless opportunism of Barack Obama, and the unprincipled thuggishness of his supporters.

What lost this election was the cloth-eared cluelessness of George W. Bush, the timid squeamishness of John McCain, and the deep lack of interest in conservative principles among Republican primary voters.

Sour? You bet I’m sour. Where was conservatism in this election? Where was restraint in government? Where was national sovereignty? Where was liberty? Where was self-support? And where are those things now? Where are they headed this next four years? Down the toilet, that’s where. Pah!

[cutout]

I thought "sour grapes" meant pretending not to want something you can't really have. Aka, if Ron Paul had said: "I never wanted to be President anyway."

[masterofsparks]

From the other side of the coin...

I saw a hilariously pathetic story on Drudge Report today where they were crowing about outing the liberal-biased pollsters because while a lot of the polls predicted DOUBLE-digit victory for Obama, he only won by SINGLE digits. Clearly the pollsters were in the tank for the left.

This kind of reaction is sooooo predictable, and in my opinion, completely wrong. This wasn't a winning year for conservatism, but that won't stop folks like this individual, so blinded by his or her ideology, from positing that conservatism wasn't given a chance in this election.

There's going to be tons of those out there, I just hope that Obama is being guarded 24/7.  Did anyone see the story about the skinheads plot to eventually kill him?

[Spoony]

Yes. Stupid hicks.

If that's the worst that Obama has to look out for, the SS can start sleeping in. His daughters can start earning money on the side as security.

Perhaps my favorite wrinkle that really emerged today is all the McCain staffers totally throwing Palin under the bus.  O'Reilly had some guy talking about how inept she actually is for a good 5 minutes.  Apparently she didn't know Africa was a continent.

The angry Right has already found the Obama-friendly antithesis to Joe the Plumber... Peggy the Moocher:
