What is with all of the post election Romney bashing?

[mkm]

He DID NOT get elected.  Whatever he would have done good or bad for firearms, healthcare, the economy, etc. does not matter any more.  He didn't get elected; the people chose to keep what we've got.  There is no reason to continue to post bad things about what Romney would've done; he's not going to get a chance to do them.  Now is the time to figure out what we're going to do under the current president for the next 4 years not what we would've done under Romney or any other third party candidate. 

I understand the often cited sentiment about picking the lesser of two evils. I also understand the sentiment of picking the better of the two and approaching it that way.  I'm not here to choose the optimistic or pessimistic view of voting.  I'm here to say the votes have already been cast and counted.  Move along and look towards what is ahead; don't keep looking back at what didn't happen in the election.  History is important to know, but it can't be changed.  Only the future can be affected; work towards that and quit dwelling on what might have been.

Once again, our newly elected president for the next four years will be Obama.  It will not be Romney, Ron Paul, or any other piece of crap politician or heralded savior.  There is really no reason to continue posting about any other candidate; they are history.  Work towards a better future with our current president in mind not some fantasy president that is not going to be there.

Thanks for reading my rant.

Okay GARP, what now? Got any ideas, or do we just leave it to our native wits? Apologize for the sarcasm, but I haven't figured out what the next step should be. Whatever it is, we need to start now and not wait until Obama is done with us. Still looking for some positive moves to make short of armed rebellion. I am truly lost here in MD, as the Democrats own this state lock, stock and barrel. Where to begin?

Logic would suggest that whatever you begin you do it somewhere else .
It may just be me but the intelligent thing seems to be to relocate to a more defensible area, some where where you have more support available.

Solid advice, Tom.

Louisiana has started a petition to peacefully leave the Union. 

Texas has been and now would be a good choice. 

I am embarrassed that my own state (Florida) succumbed to the BS of the left and our electoral votes were given to Odamna.  Still, people I care about are here and until they are not, here is where I will be.

Other than that, follow Deepwater and head for Peru.  Of course you will need to learn Spanish.

FWIW

Man I wish I lived back in Leesville La if that goes through.
Also wonder how the Free States Project will be conducting them selves up in New Hampshire now also.

The sentiment is good, but I don't think the grievant asks permission to secede from those causing the grievance. When you do, you get the response the LA grievant got from the Obama administration...uh, you need 25,000 signatures on your petition within 30 days before your petition can be recognized and forwarded to the appropriate department for an official response. Oh, yeah, and those 25,000 petitioners need to supply their email addresses so that the government's formal response can be emailed to each of them. My take: And then, of course, your names and addresses will be checked against your state's voting rolls to make sure you are valid citizens, each will have to provide a valid photo ID and birth certificate and all of you will be listed on the no-fly list, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Secession is a serious business I think and will never be allowed by paper. A government that little recognizes our rights under the U.S. Constitution will not tolerate secession. I applaud their pluck, however. Unless more than 25 states engage in this, no one will take it seriously. However, many states have a provision that citizens can petition their states to have measures put on the ballot within their respective states. Then the people in those states vote on the measure. If enough states do that, then the Feds will have no choice but to take notice, and so will the world. But this cannot be limited to states in the old South. Charges of racism and slavery will abound. My ole Daddy used to say: Don't start vast projects with half-vast ideas. But the idea is intriguing.

I've been trying to figure out how the free state project will work in New Hampshire.

I figured thge state was very redf, but when I look at the results, it's fairly blue and is actually trending bluer given the youth demographics.

Might it make more sense to choose Idaho for the project?

The Free State Project is nothing but a bunch of pot smoking gay marriage advocates.
That's why I got out of it.
