Concession (of a kind) and Goodbye.

you talk real big and tough for a guy who lost.

loser.

He's a faux conservative. Loud, angry talk is all they have.

the whole "gunslinger" persona thing reeks of a pimply faced teenager role playing from the boycave in his parent's basement.

Sheer projection. 49, USAF retiree, Stephen King fan.

Unsurprisingly, you're completely wrong. But that's your default mode, isn't it?

loser.

You talk real big and tough for a guy who didn't do anything to bring about the victory you're taking credit for.

didn't DO anything? I contributed money to liberal political action committees and to the DNC, and I voted... and I convinced other liberal minded expatriates to vote as well.

I'm sure you like to pretend you did.

and you... well, your guy lost. And still you talk tough. If you don't like the course that America is taking, maybe YOU should renounce YOUR citizenship and move somewhere else. Losers like you don't get to tell the winners what to do.

I can tell you to eat shit, you little prick.

And you know what?

There isn't a damn thing you can do about it.

daveman whined on the internet. That's got to count for something.

Can I have your rep?

Sure you can.

...all you have to do, is earn it.

(You have to explain every f*kin thing to lefties.)

USMB has a 100% inheritance tax on rep of the departed.

Your petulant foot-stamping notwithstanding, no, it doesn't.

Nothing you can do about either, you know.

You're right. I'm petulant. Romney lost and it's killing me. You could even say I'm daving.

Actually, you're Raving.

But then, you're ALWAYS Raving.

It is what it is. Some people have recognized their internet impotence.

Some people ridiculously believe they can dictate the feelings and actions of others on the internet.

 

[Moonglow]

Hell! If i want to leave you will never hear me chime in for empathy or encouragement to stay. I just leave.

And sometimes I think it is okay to admit that you promised or pledged something really stupid and following through is hurtful to yourself and everybody else. I think this might be one of those times.

Not this time.

I count one Post, from Liability. A good-bye. That's about honor, not empathy.

I made a bet. I lost. Welching is not cool, at least not the way I was raised. Therefore, I am obligated to honor the bet (Zona's revenge ): and the terms were simple. I bet that Pres. Obama would NOT get re-elected.

Based on everything I have seen tonight, the election actually is now over. Even if Mitt takes Ohio (which is still kind of up in the air, the "call" notwithstanding) and even if he somehow prevails in FL and VA, he seems to have lost CO. (I blame mal.) The trouble is, he had to end up running that table. And without CO, he didn't. End of story.

The payment terms were simple, too. If I lost the bet, I was to flat out LEAVE USMB.

That time, evidently has come. (Of course, if a miracle happens, and Mitt ends up winning on a recount or three or five, I'll come back upon the same terms!) No. I am not counting on that.

Thus, I am obliged to leave USMB. I have been' assured' by lots of my lib "buddies" that I will come back under some other username. Nope. Gone means gone. They can believe whatever a lib's heart says they should believe. But, I'll still be gone. (I discovered a new place which I like anyway, so I will not be suffering in some arid desert.)

To my lib pals and even those who I never much liked, I will concede the following. Not only was I wrong in my political guess, I was WAY the fuck off. There. You can gloat. I was wrong.

In your favor, I will also say JUST this much more. Your political philosophy is misguided as all hell. But most of you think the way you think for good enough reasons. I admire that. Beats the snot outta the attitude of most Americans who just don't even give thought to the issues of our time.

To my more or less Conservative pals, I urge you to keep up the good fight. It is plainly an uphill battle. But the course you have chosen is the right one. THIS particular electoral loss is a very deep and cutting one. But what can we do? Giving up is not an option. So, keep up your efforts to educate the libs and the majority of indifferent fellow citizens. Someday, conservative political philosophy may yet flower. Time permitting.

That leaves only one thing left to say.

Adios.

Adios Amigo.

Thanks for proving my point.
