What a disappointing turnout to the elections yesterday. Virginia took a big step backwards by electing Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling, and Ken Cuccinelli. All three are right wing, republican, religious wing nuts. And now they will be in charge of Virginia for the next four years. Gay rights will just have to sit out the next four years in Virginia.
Last night I was watching the amazing documentary about Obama called By The People on HBO and I was inspired all over again. I had such a good feeling watching Obama win the election exactly one year ago. Then as the documentary was ending and Obama was giving his acceptance speech and I had chills going down my spine again, they announced the winners in the Virginia election and I quickly became depressed. I live in this state and am stuck with this fucktards for the next four years. I can’t imagine what might happen. If DC gets gay marriage, I might have to move there!
I don’t think the turn out of this election has anything to do with the success or the failure of the Obama administration. The wing nuts who want to make that connection don’t know what they are talking about. Virginia historically goes for the opposite party for governor the year after the presidential election. It’s been that way since 1971 I think. Nothing new here. Plus, I could also add the democratic candidate was simply awful…but I voted for him anyway.
I’ll be watching the actions of these republicans for the next four years and I’ll be calling them on everything they do wrong. And there will be plenty. It might not be nice to say, but their term in office is already a failure. I’m already looking forward to 2013 for the next election for governor!
In the process of moving the blog to a new web hosting service, I lost the picture that goes with this post.
I just want Obama out so I was pretty stoked to see NJ and VA go R. I would even support a coup at this point!
Dick Cheney would lead of course.

Yes, Dave, a coup d’etat—that’s the American, patriotic spirit! Go to any teaparties lately–with your guns? We endured eight years of the most incompetent administration in our nation’s history. Bush and gang shredded every word of the Constitution, yet Democrats settled it at the ballot box.
And who would lead our nation after the coup, Dave? Sarah Palin? Michelle Bachmann? Glenn Beck?? Any other members from loony bin now known as the Republican Party?
Wow, is that Dave Faulkner for real? What a big baby!
I didn’t get what I want so I am going to throw all my toys out the pram and scream until I get what I want or am sick 🙂
What a selfish prick.
Can’t he respect the other people that voted or is that too much to ask. So if this is the way he wants it, America will descend into a state ruled by the gun….good luck with that!
What an idiot!
In the UK we had 17 years…yes 17 years of Thatcher and sure we moaned but we never shot the bitch 🙂
That is what the ballot box is for, so go post your vote and if enough people think the same as you, great you win. If not, deal with it, shout if you have to, but don’t incite violence to get your way.

I saw the advertisement for the HBO special….I’ll bet it was great. As for the election…..blech. I feel like we’re moving back into the dark ages with icky old white haters who go to church in charge.
