    1. Rubio began his thank you speech by saying something like this: “We are all children of a great and powerful God…” He said a few more sentences about God and then reminded us (I’m not a citizen of the state of Florida, so I will indeed go ahead and ignore his suggestion) to constantly acknowledge and thank God.

      1. Well, Jesus. Thank God he got God in there somewhere, because you’d hate to think that somewhere in America, a politician had got him or herself elected without the help of God.

        Excuse me, now. I must find a tissue.

      2. Renee Ellmers a Republican House winner in NC had jebus and god all in her speech. It was so blatant.
        How much of a trend is this? Did Rand Paul do the same? Anyone else?

  3. Well, Ayn Rand, whom he might have been named after (Ron Paul read all her books), was an atheist. Does that make you feel better?

    No? I thought so.

      1. Somebody needs to remind Paul that he was named after an atheist.

        At least the revolting Sharron Angle lost.

      2. Well, ectwelly, Ron Paul, Randall Paul’s father, claims that he did not name his son after Ayn Rand. I think. It’s all really just a blur now.

        1. Right, his full name is Randall. However, he was probably inspired by Ayn Rand to shorten it as a nickname, which is pretty sick in its own right.

        1. Look on the bright side: We may have lost Alan Grayson and Russ Feingold, but we managed to keep Michelle Bachman. How about them apples?

  6. there is good news from KY – AP story LEXINGTON, Ky.—Voters in Lexington, Kentucky’s second-largest city, have elected the city’s first openly gay mayor.

    1. But luckily, we have a constitutional amendment preventing him from getting married! /sarcasm

  7. Well, at least Ron Paul’s particular brand of whack-loonery will be exposed to the national glare and the American people will be like: WTF?!? No, I didn’t think so either…..

    2. I doubt it – look at what Newt Gingrich, Dubbyah, and so on have gotten away with. I’d be more impressed if village idiots like Rand Paul were never elected in the first place.

  8. those darn little Paul’s

    For A New Liberty
    The Libertarian Manifesto
    Murray N. Rothbard

    It’s their Bible. Not bad reading, better than Paul’s Revolution. I laugh at the way the hate communism, the whole idea really sticks in their craw.

    1. No need to be embarrassed by your state so long as they continue to make Wild Turkey Bourbon. Now Tennessee, their is a state with an embarrassing whiskey.

  11. I’m embarrassed for my state too. Bachman was re-elected.

    (Regarding the title, Rand Paul won’t be a US Senator until January 3)

  12. Also ashamed to be from KY. Although, from talking to those who voted for Paul, it seems as if most don’t really realize what he stands for and how backward he is. I got a lot of “the democrats were just taking what he said out of context.” I think there’s going to be a ton of shock when people see where he really stands… but that may be placing too much faith in my fellow Kentuckians.

  13. Let us all hope that the Republicans act like all other politicians and fail to honor their campaign trail promises.

  14. You say Rand Paul, I say Christine O’Donnell.

    On the definitely positive side, now US politicians may make compromises at times as the republicans share responsibility. (Yeah, I know, it is a triple oxymoron or so … well, share blame actually.)

    1. John Boehner was already washing his hands of responsibility last night! But rest assured that he’ll rush in and try to take credit for anything good that happens.

  16. This is either the venom that ends up killing the U.S. or the Antidote made from that same venom.

  18. Tennessee now has a bible-thumping, family values, gun cleaning governor who thinks that Ted Nugent style hunting is a divine right granted by the god of Abraham.

    I hope to win the TN Powerball lottery and move to New Zealand.

    2. Just keep in mind though, that the Powerball lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math:).

  19. I don’t want to waste the good stuff for an anti-celebration, so it’s Laphroaig for me, as I take the day off. Or is that Springbank what they give you for voting? They don’t do that in my neighborhood. Anymore.

    At least Quinn is still hanging in there as of this hour. Otherwise education is in for some hurtin’.
