You aren't hearing talk of secession:

Texas Gov. Rick Perry fired up an anti-tax "tea party" Wednesday with his stance against the federal government and for states' rights as some in his U.S. flag-waving audience shouted, "Secede!"

There was also this just a couple of months ago:

Rep. Zach Wamp, a Republican House member running for governor of Tennessee, is making a strong play for the crazy portion of the Volunteer State GOP primary electorate. He told Hotline OnCall that the new healthcare law might spur some states to secede from the Union.

And this in Minnesota earlier this year:

"Be it resolved the Republican Party of Minnesota supports nullification of unconstitutional federal laws and secession as options to enforce state sovereignty."

No, Democrats don't tend to start talking treason when they lose an election. We leave that to Republicans.

Another thing you're not hearing today from Democrats--rumblings about 2nd Amendment remedies:

Angle has said the Bill of Rights also authorizes "remedies" for Americans to defend themselves "when our government becomes tyrannical."

A victory by Democrat Harry Reid, she suggested, could justify those "2nd Amendment remedies."

Or talk of reloading while putting up an electoral map with crosshairs:

Palin's Facebook page now carries a map featuring 20 gun sights, one for each of the Democrats targeted this year by her political action committee SarahPAC.

While stocking up on ammo in record amounts [Warning: Tea Party link].

No, Democrats don't like losing any more than Republicans do, but we tend to leave all the talk of firearms and ammo and crosshairs to them.

There is a fundamental difference between the two parties: we believe in representative democracy and we accept the will of the voters. They don't. It's that simple. Be glad you're a Democrat.

And just to add some levity to the situation, here's a vid of Chris Dudley getting owned by Shaquille O'Neal, and then having a big tantrum:

Typical Republican sore loser. At least he didn't have a gun.
