The rightwing meltdown continues - they know they're out of power for at least a generation
The Christian Broadcasting Network put on an election night special and host Pat Robertson appeared to be dumbfounded that President Obama won re-election. Robertsons guests included Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard, John Fund of the Wall Street Journal, Regent University vice president Paul Bonicelli and Romney adviser Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice, the legal group Robertson founded. Barnes reassured Robertson that even if Obama wins, the President hardly has a mandate for anything because this was a status quo election, as apparently Barnes thinks any incumbent who gets re-elected doesnt have a mandate. But Sekulow said that Obama will likely appoint two or three justices to the Supreme Court and will use the power of the executive branch to push new encroachments on liberty and freedom.
Robertson, who throughout the program held out hope that Karl Roves prediction that Romney could win Ohio would materialize, was stunned that Obama was the winner: What have they got? He doesnt seem to have any program and yet hes been able to win a re-election, what is going on with the American people? Bonicelli said that Americans will spend their next four years regretting this decision and Robertson warned that the U.S. is looking more like Western Europe and even Zaire.

Zaire? LOL
That's so wonderfully random. Gotta love crazy Pat!
Of course, if you want to talk Africa, Pat's probably just mad that the U.S. isn't more like Liberia, the home of his pal, ex-dictator and convicted human rights violator Charles Taylor.

Such a "Godly" man.

I think Pat needs a long vacation. Ceylon is nice this time of year. Or maybe Siam.
