I also feel very disappointed in my state and feel like I wasted my time voting...

Obuma won by a landslide here, Scott Brown lost, and the right to die with dignity also failed.

1 Trillion to 17 Trillion... How is this going to be turned around? I just hope we do not become the United States of Asia . I worry for my kids.

it boiled down to specifics. Look at all the states around the Great lakes, all union strongholds. Virginia and Maryland, all federal government workers. New Mexico, Nevada, California, lots of immigrants wanting to bring the rest of the family over. Colorado, California, Washington, Oregon, lots of homosexuals wanting to be married and lots of pot smokers. Now for the North East, all we can say is damn yankees!

I have talked to 2 friends of mine this morning. They are small business owners. Both HAD plans of capital improvements to their businesses and hiring a couple more people. The election results last night changed all that. They are NOT spending the $$$$$ for the improvements, and one of them is laying off 7 employees this morning. They are scared to death of the future for the small businesses, as am I

I hope we can survive 4 more years.....

one of the things that really jerks my chain, is they said voter turn out nation wide was much lower than the last election, those non voters will be the ones who complain the loudest

I watched atleast 20 people walk out because the line was to long to wait. That was very disheartning regardless of who they were going to vote for. We had a big turn out here in va beach.

Drag...that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard....either your friend is making money off those employees or he is losing money by carrying those employees with not enough work to support them....to wake up this morning and decide to layoff 7 people is again the dumbest thing i ever heard.

I dont know the whole story...just got the quick version. Sounds like he has been carrying them.....was hoping for a Republican turn around with taxes and Obamacare. He said he has to stop the bleeding since he feels the gov't has him hooked up directly to an IV!
