1. She's still in her bunker...
Actually, since she barred media from her "party" God only knows when she will concede.

2. No class.
I doubt there will be any speech. She's a fucking loser in more ways than one.

3. good question... She was pitching a fit about the early call
for Reid at 30% counted-- which happened during her "Prayer Rally".... :rofl:


So, I figured she would be a typical petulant, arrogant teabagger...

4. She was last seen loading an AR15.

6. I thought an AR15 is nonjudicial punishment under the code of military justice
Of course, she'd be daffy enough to try to do that.

9. That would be an Article 15....
An AR15 is more along the lines of a semi-auto M16.

11. Back in the seventies, we called the Articles "AR15s"
An M-16 was already a semi-automatic.

12. I served 1970-76. For the ones I fired, an M16 was either on full auto or single-pull....
...never heard of an Article 15 being called an AR15, but that's just one guy's experience.


(I believe there were some later versions that had a 3-round 'burst' mode.)

14. My experience (1976-79)
Articles 15 were called mostly Article 15s, but also A-15s, AR-15s and Articles.

The fact that a M16 could be fired in full-auto or single shot made it semi-auto, or that's what the drill sergeants at Ft. Dix said when I was in basic training.

The "three-round bursts" were just a matter of controlling the trigger. If the trigger wasn't released soon enough, it was a four-round burst. Whether there was an actual three-round burst mode later I don't know, and, like Rhett Butler, I frankly never gave a damn.

16. I've never heard a full-auto capable weapon referred to as a semi-auto weapon.
It may have a semi-auto setting but it is still full-auto capable. The M-16s we were issued were full, semi or 3 round burst.

5. Let's hope she's not stocking up for a Second Amendment remedy
That lady is scary. Especially with that sweet demeanor of hers.

I don't care if she gives a concession speech. If we never hear from her again, that would be best.

13. Thank you
It's my birthday, I have celebrated and I am ready to puke as it is, so I only watched about half of it.

If this loony thinks America woke up to support people like her, then she is confusing America with the Koch Brothers.

Yes, Ron Paul and Mario Rubio won. Too bad. Sharron Angle, Christine O'Donnell and Carl the Pornographer Palidino lost. Most of America knew zanies when they saw a zany. Carly Fiorina lost. As a former California IT worker, I hope she knows what personal pleasure I took in voting for Barbara Boxer over her. Now let's outsource Carly to China.

Sharron Angle talks about American patriotism. What a joke. The true patriots held their noses and voted for Harry Reid (hay, guys, I got it right) and abjured the obscenity of "Second Amendment remedies."
