What You’re Not Seeing

I've looked at a number of sites I visit fairly regularly on the right side of the sphere and there is one thing that I am, thankfully, not seeing.

I haven't seen anyone saying the election was stolen. Had the outcome been different, we had already been informed what the reaction on the left would be. Nancy Pelosi and numerous left leaning bloggers had informed us of that.

So, no tit-for-tat; most people are disappointed or upset or angry at their own party, but I haven't seen anyone screaming 'fraud!'. I think that's important.

UPDATE: On the other hand, you are seeing some sore winners. Link courtesy of The Anchoress, who has a roundup of a number of classy reactions, as opposed to the temper tantrums.

    Yeah…no one is calling the rest of the country “retards” or crying that they need to move to Canada. Aren’t grown-ups refreshing?

    Good call. I hadn’t noticed that but that’s probably because I wouldn’t have expected that kind of behavior from my party. It’s nice that you pointed it out.

    Any ideas on what a lame duck congress might have up its sleeve as a parting shot?

    Oh, I must of missed the memo on acting like a whining baby because the conservatives (well the GOP) lost control of Congress. Sorry. I am sure others may be outraged (not) :)

    Anyhow, I am SURPRISED, make that SUPER SURPRISED that all those voting irregularities, fraud, robocalls, voter dis-enfranchisement stories that where front and center on all the Far Left blogs and biased MSM are no longer an issue. So does this mean that if the Left wins voting procedure was just fine but if they had lost there would have been investigations and intimate examinations of pregnant chads? I wonder if other moderates in the USA have noticed the utter silence also?
