Quantum mechanics rocks.  Wish I had a better understanding of it than I do.

I would've loved to have seen that--   did it actually happen, on Fox or something?   Hope it's posted somewhere.    He's a bigger, fatter idiot that Limbaugh.

That is a real shame. I need him around to take the reins when I get worn out from arguing.

In O'Reilly. He said he "undercalculated" the turnout of hispanics and single women but he ended up saying that he's one of few who have made a president be elected so his franchise isn't tarnished

He's not the only one.

what a stupid thing to say, I'm saddened as a fan of his

I like how smart and tough he is with guests who aren't answering his questions but that went way too far with his 'thrill up the leg' love of the Pres, I'm truly shocked he would allow himself to utter such things, or worse believe them

 

^Typical populist mentality that has allowed the continent where I come from to "develop" so quickly, even when it has more resources than anybody else. What a shame.

I mean asking for immigration reform is not bad. Asking for reform because "he owes the election" shows why people vote for other people in this country (and many other I would say).

Living in a solidly red state, I have witnessed some genuine despair today, both in person and on social networks, and I wish so much time had not been spent on demonizing. That is my greatest hope from this election: that maybe - just maybe - the Republican party will do some soul searching and maybe they will come to the conclusion that fear and hate is not the way to go, and maybe next election we won't have so many people angry with each other because of which political side they fall on. That is my prayer - that the wounds of partisanship would heal. The Repub party peddles no more "fear and hate" than your own camp does.  You just choose to ignore it, and like many (not all) liberals, you demonize even as you decry tone.   100% true Jim. It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim.
