If you lock it, tell me in advance so I can post that gif of a dancing lock.

Someone needs to write a eulogy.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

It's incredibly encouraging that a thread on such a hot subject managed to run its course without lock.  I stand impressed.

The whole forum is democratic so it was mostly us raging against Romney.

1) When it most deserved a lock, the moderator of the forum was too busy to lock it before the discussion took it away from lockable offenses, making it somewhat innocent again.

2) This discussion of the death of this topic is off-topic, and what with people deliberately firing groups of people for whom they voted, talk of secession, and early endorsements for 2016, the subject matter for the topic isn't quite gone yet.

3) I just violated 2. HYPOCRITE! GTFO! And there goes 1...

I think it helps that the moderation is solely in the hands of Toady and Threetoe (who are both very reasonable, level headed and, above all, well respected). As they don't have to answer to anyone, they tend to be fairly lenient in the moderation, and everyone likes Toady enough to drop the argument when he strolls by.

Except Kon, Greatjustice, Strife, and the large number of greens/libertarians (at least judging by their stated voting preferences).

Well, if I remember correctly, they didn't exactly love Romney either. They just hated Obama and the Democratics more.

Anyway, The far-right continues to blame Romney for their loss. They are saying alot of things the democrats were saying. My favorite is someone who quoted Groucho. "These, are my principles! And if you don't like'em, well I have other ones..." Alot of people saying the problem was too much compromise. Others are following the path of moderacy. Either way things are getting splintered.

I just had a theory that you can judge how interesting a potential President by how well their last name forms a portmanteu with "economics".

Reaganomics (the only one the spellcheck likes btw)
Nixonomics
Clintonomics
Obamanomics

...all sound ok, and all were linkable on wikipedia.

Carternomics - not even in wikipedia
Bushonomics - not even in wikipedia
Romneynomics or Romnomics - not even in wikipedia

...all sound crap, and none had a wiki page.
