Armchair Quarterbacks

The election is over. It has been for some time now. I watch the "news" on television, read up on events via the internet, and I'm certain that the election is, in fact, over. Yet for some reason or another the whines and moans from the left seem to be getting louder rather than softer. Seems to me that they had their chance, three and a half years of chances, but they lost. Plain and simple. Blame it on the voter turnout, blame it on the same sex marriage issue, blame it on the Red Sox winning the Pennant if you like, the fact of the matter is that they lost (and their candidate CONCEDED DEFEAT). When/if there is a Democratic candidate elected president you can bet I'll voice some concerns, most Republicans would, but any whining three or four months after the fact just seems....well...girly. Roll with the punches for crying out loud. When your favorite team loses the championship they don't whine about it for the rest of the off-season, they go out and sign some recruits, work a little harder in practice, find a quarterback that doesn't look like Herman Munster and prepare for the next game. I'd like to see more of that. Whether you're a right wing nut or a left wing hippie we're all Americans in the end, it's just not in our nature to take losing well. Just know this; a commentator never won a Superbowl for their team, a cheerleader never hit the game-winning home run, and a whiner never won an election.
