I know a girl who said she was at school, listening to conservatives in line to talk to financial aid, complaining about Obama and socialism. 
I live on facebook. Come see me there. http://www.facebook.com/tara.rizzatto

My daughter's kindergarden teacher said many of the kids in her class were oddly out of sorts all day. She said ours was fine. We live in a conservative county in Oregon, lots of fundy churches around here, and I was thinking, I bet there were some cranky parents this morning!
I have very religious (old HS) friend on FB, her comment was:
"Too bad we couldn't make history a second time and elect someone who isn't a Democrat or Republican.  Just waiting for the gas to triple again by the end of Obama's term and real estate to be in a slump and lazy people getting free money from people who actually work (from the government to the pan-handlers.)"
She obviously wanted a third party candidate, but her rehashing (incorrect) conservative talking points annoys the crap outa me.
I got into a bit of an argument with her, and mostly she poste paragraph after paragraph about welfare moms....big sigh.

It was so quite in the machine shop today, you could hear a pin drop. There are a lot of butts hurt.

I wonder how all the billionaires who gave Rove all that money and now have nothing to show for it are taking it. Rove looked awfully nervous that night as they were calling Ohio. I'm guessing his donors are none too pleased with him at the moment. He might do well to go grab a plane ticket to some undisclosed location for a while.

For the "The GOP will learn from this" crowd - today on O'Reilly they were blaming the media for Romney's flop.
So far its Christie and the media and Ryan. Next it will be the French and then the Jews.

Dumb beyond belief. No fucking shit. These idiots want their medicare costs to be trusted to the private sector who will turn it into a voucher program taking 6,400$ dollars more per year and coninue to allow an industry that makes its money by maximizing denial of service.
An also what the fuck? They cannot point to any democrat or Obama ever saying we wanted to end private health care. Now some on the left might want to do that, but since that wont fly and we do have to deal with a private sector, it cannot be nor should be called an illimination of the private sector.
We are jsut merely inforcing anti monopoly laws, reducing costs by demanding the private sector not pad their bills and not drive more people to the emergency room which costs all of us more.
They always accuse speed limits with being anti car.

Warning Brian-inspired rant ahead:
Poor and middle class people who self identify as conservative, put aside your stupidity and think about this. Why is it a matter of principle to you that the vultures in the insurance industry be allowed to make a profit off of your medical needs? This benefits you or anyone other then the 1%'ers who own those companies .. how exactly? If there is no practical advantage then what moral principle is served by permitting this? Being this stupid doesn't serve you or the people who have to cohabitate this country with you well at all. If this is hard to understand please do not breed or attempt to influence the next generation in any way.

Enforcing anti-monopoly laws? That's one I've honestly not heard before, care to elaborate?
No democrat Ever saying...? Now, before I delve into the murky depths of the interwebs tomorrow, care to define what you mean by 'no democrat ever saying "we wanted to end private heath care"'?
Because yes, I would doubt that there would be many federal, elected, democrats saying that 'we' (referring to the democrats collectively presumably and not lefties), want to 'end private healthcare', which, without qualifiers, would include all health care and insurance, including superficial stuff, woo, allied health, dentistry...
Elimination of the private sector in what sense? Insurance? All core care? All care?
A democrat (federal senator/rep, rather than a member of the party or at the state level) saying that he/she alone wants to end it, that it would be a good idea?
What would constitute a 'pointing to a democrat saying we wanted to end healthcare'? Because depending on how you interpret that sentence, finding an example will either be trivial or impossible. I'm not yet sure what it is exactly that you are saying.
