Murtha Wins!

You've got to be kidding! Do people in his district have a brain? Or do they share Murtha's idiotic notions about our military?

Franken is still ahead as well

I think the cold frozen some brains....and I'm not talking about the one in the head.

Obama Lawsuits

I can't wait until Obama starts 'bankrupting' some of those coal companies.

PALIN/McCain 2008

Most likely

he'll wait until his second term.  I think tonight might have shown that he can't go too rogue.  At least that is what my fourth drink is telling me.  And I can still type!

Third here, going on four.

Third here, going on four.

America is over

HELL NO!!

And it ain't over now.  If the going gets tough.....

Yeah, well I'm afraid this

I am for treating Obama

I am for treating Obama with the same respect that the Democrats, Liberals and the media treated President Bush...

So be it, tonight is a Democrat's night and ONLY a Democrats night. America has not won. While Democrats are winning, America is losing.

Democrats/Liberals enjoy your night, I predict a Republican landslide in 2010. For 8 years Republicans have been blamed for everything under the sun. From creating Katrina (yes creating Katrina) to Polar Bears allegedly disappering.

As a Democrat friend of mine told me today, it is great we are winning, but we will not be able to blame Republicans for anything anymore.

Unfortunately, Americans need freezing cold water to be splashed on their faces to wake up, four years of Obama, actually two years of Obama and a Democrat Congress will do the job.

What if he's actually a good

What if he's actually a good president?  He can't be any worse than Bush anyway, can he?

Actually yes he can

and judging by his track record, he should be focusing on Emperor of the World in 2 years.

Has the man ever had a steady job for more than 2 years before he goes sniffing around for the next one?

HAHAHA!!! Obama a good

HAHAHA!!! Obama a good President?

Tell that to the millions of babies that will be aborted thanks to Barack Obama's abortion policies!!! 

Given Obama's past history only the blind followers and easily manipulated would believe Obama will be a good President.

God help this nation! Americans have no idea who they have elected!

At least the Democrats do not get the fillibuster proof Senate.

 

This will be the first

This will be the first president in our history that believes more in the Communist way than the American way, so I make a promise right now... I will do everything in my power to fight and undermine everything he does as POTUS. To keep this simple... Obama IS NOT MY PRESIDENT!!! As far as I'm concerned, he is an enemy of the state.

CT...

CT, he is not my president as well and he will not receive any support from me.  I will be his MSM, criticizing every move he makes...I vow to make his presidency a failure of leftist policies.  I will be there to hold him and his party of corrupt pols accountable for failing the United States.  

I am willing to give him the chance though but for every failing he makes, I will be there to remind him so.  So help me God.

Clearthinker, Well

Clearthinker,

Well said!!! Barack Obama is not my President, he doesn't represent me or my ideas. He is a racist, communist who was elected to the Presidency by lying to the American people and with the aid of the American Press. This only energizes me to get more deeply involved in politics.

I too will do everything within my power to undermine his Presidency.

As I said, i will treat Barack Obama with the same respect, and loyalty that the left, Liberals, Democrats and the media treated President Bush.

I know that there will be those on the right that will call for us to respect Barack Obama, I do not respect him. I respect the Presidency, but not him or his ultra Libral, wacked out, wild eyed Liberal ideoloy.

Please, let us start praying tonight for the millions of babies that will be aborted during the next four years thanks to Barack Obama and the Democrat control Congress. It is the innocent that will suffer the most under this coming administration.

Those on the right that

Those on the right that will call for us to respect him are the same Country Club Republicans that got us into this mess to begin with. I am a Conservative, not a Republican (any longer) so the GOP can go to hell!

Pray for the babies waiting

Pray for the babies waiting to be born.  They too have a voice.  As for Obama, let him and his supporters bask in their glory.  This night belongs to them.

We are all Americans, just the ideology that divides us makes us who we are.  Pity the babies and we will make sure none of this happens again four years from now... 

leonard cohen

Your comment reminds me of Cohen's line, "to the babies who are asking to be born".

Are you a total fool? 

Are you a total fool?  Obama has said publicly he intends to back the Molsems 100% against Israel.  How long do you think it will take the Moslems to attack Israel after Obama takes office?  How long after that do you think it will be before the first Nuclear Weapon is used in the Middle East?

There is no such thing as a "good" Marxist.

Too bad you brainwashed Obama cultists are going to find that out the hard way.

-Dave

Did this country just elect Obama/Biden, or was it Soros/Ayers?

We don't have to wait four years

Or maybe just a little

Or maybe just a little paranoid?  I mean Hitler, wow.

Idiot.  Do you know anyone

Idiot.  Do you know anyone who lived in Nazi Germany?  I know dozens. 

This speech Obama gave, I think in Colorado Springs, calling for a Civilian National Security Force as powerful and as well funded as the military, what do suppose we need such a force for, exactly?  Can you think of any place that actually had such a force?  I can.  The old folks I know in Germany recognized what this might be immediately:  They all said the same thing:  SA.  This is something we do not need.

Idiots and Nazis

Don't confuse the Obama 'O' arm bands for the swastika arm bands worn by the Nazis.

PALIN/McCain 2008

No, not ever!  An 'O' looks

No, not ever!  An 'O' looks NOTHING like a swastika.

PALIN/McCain 2008

Don't worry dude, we can now

Don't worry dude, we can now be the evil angry BDS talkers that the Liberals have been for so long, since we are now officially a minority. I think you get a free pass!

I say no mercy. Everything

I say no mercy. Everything from bad weather to an asteroid hitting the Earth we should pin on Obama.

I'm blaming him on my hangover tomorrow

5 drinks and counting!

Once again, I say we treat

Once again, I say we treat President Elect Barack Obama for the next four years with the same respect that the media, Liberals, Democrats treated President Bush.

"There are two types of people in this country; those who provide freedom and those who enjoy it." MM says...

Guys...chill out.

As long as we still can, wc can rebuild the GOP, and throw him out in 2012. The people who voted for him will have second thoughts and buyer's remorse, come 2010. 

After all, Reagan wasn't possible without Carter's disaster.

Buck up.

Drill ANWAR

Well put, AgentAmerican

I've been telling family and friends the same thing. We needed four years of Carter to get 12 of Reagan/Bush.

Couldn't we have played a tape or something?

Do we have to go through this again?

History

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

PALIN/McCain 2008

Good point

A tape would have been preferable

Hell, Jack

A tapeworm would have been more preferable

Change GOP

The GOP got what is deserved for abandoning conservative principles. McCain must've thought that he and the MSM still had a love affair. Just goes to show you that the MSM will always pick the real liberal over the poser.

Now that it's basically over, I want to say I'm not sorry McCain lost, he was never my choice.  But I am sorry for the country my kids will inherit.  This is the sad travesty of this whole media-created charade. 

Notice how the media is already lowering expectations for the Obama administration?  Why are they doing that?  Obviously because they always knew he was not the savior they made him out to be.  So why not say so before?  Duh.

And when the spit hits the fan, they'll always have a few republicans around on whom to put the blame.

Well, Dems.  Congratulations.  You have all the power...what are you going to do with it?

Stupid voters?

Considering how many of you like to cite how stupid voters are in this election, how do you explain the fact that most 'educated' voters, i.e. college graduates, voted for Obama?  Oh yeah, it was all the MSM.  Did it ever occur to you that maybe YOU all are the ones out of touch?

Besides, how gullible was Palin in that Sarkozy prank call?  Talk about naive...and yet, you all think she should have been at the top of the ticket!!  So lets not talk about stupid.

 

Dooper was duped....

Dooper, I'd love to get into with you but really - what's the point... I'll get you by losing my job and taking your paycheck...

Keep working hard for me - I needs a NEW TV!!!!!

Ha Ha HA!

Yeah, but how can be sure that he has a paycheck to take?

PALIN/McCain 2008

Simple

Common sense is different from book sense.  Not all "educated" voters, i.e. college graduates, have common sense.  I would rather have common sense any day (and yes, I'm a college graduate)

BTW, my friend who voted for Obama, told me she couldn't stand the guy, didn't like him, didn't think he would be good for the country, but just wanted Europe to like us again.  And yes, she is a college graduate as well.  (And yes, I tried to explain that the world liked us with Clinton in power and we were still attacked numerous times, but hey, I tried)

Common sense

Yeah, there are some 'educated' people out there that would starve to death with a can of beans in one hand and a can opener in the other.

PALIN/McCain 2008

Dooper

So how is that thing going where Barack's uncle helped liberate Austwitz?Maybe he could tell how his parents met during Selma.

Stupid voters?

That's an easy one - there are MANY voters, i.e., college graduates, that have been educated waaaaay past their level of intelligence. Think of it as stuffing 20 pounds of liberal b*llsh*t in a wet 5-pound paper bag.

I demand real change - force a Democrat to speak the truth!

Bush was treated well until

Bush was treated well until he went, according to you, bat sh..t war crazy?

are you kidding me?  do you live in a box?

Since 1999 during the 2000 Presidential run Bush was treated horribly by the media, Liberals, Democrats, etc!

you seem to forget how the media and Democrats were claiming Bush was lazy because he supposedly didn't work the same amount of hours that Clinton did in the White House.

You forget how the media was calling him the worst President of the USA since the day he took office in 2000.

Please, enjoy your win, but at least be informed well enough to not make a complete buffoon out of yourself, ok?  wow!

It is just like when I hear Liberals claim that they supported the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, it is just the war in Iraq that made them unhappy. It is a fact that Liberals and Democrats politicians, pundits and voters were against the war in Afghanistan making such claims as why bomb Afghanistan, it is already in the stone age. Asking Bush to talk to the Taliban, etc, etc, etc.

Please, get an education, no wonder you are an Obama supporter. What are you, 18?  wow! talk about complete and utter ignorance.

Don't forget

Democrats didn't even give Bush the chance to make appointments to his own administration. They did it to keep the Clintonistas in the government.

Was that giving him a chance?

Hussein gets no quarter from me. He's a scumbag, political hack from the Chicago machine. He's the biggest bag of feces to ascend to the presidency. We've just elected a college sophomore to lead the free world.

Vladimir Putin is thinking, "America's chicken has come home to roost."

Save America! Fight to destroy liberalism! No more GOP! I am a Conservative.

Obama? I've already seen

Obama? I've already seen more than I ever care to of that thug.  He is vermin.  A would be third world dictator.  He's not even a US citizen.  He shares nothing with the traditions and values of this country.  He should return to Kenya or Indonesia or whatever country he is actually a citizen of.

As a show of absolute disatisfaction with the GOP, I will be leaving the party early next week. Consider me an Independent until the GOP goes back to supporting Conservatives.

Hey CT

Here is a copy of the letter I sent the GOP in 2006

I think I can send the same letter, just change the date!

 

I wrote this November 2006.

My letter to the RNC:

This is some sad night. Looks like someone I wanted desperately to run for President is at best, nicked up.  Allen, would have been such a good President, a Jefferson Republican. This loss of the house and maybe the Senate puts the people in Iraq in danger, our troops, and our citizens. It emboldens our enemy’s.  This has to be a  dream for (the press loves me)(campaign spending rule) Mc Cain. Not to mention, our enemies. I’m so discussed if I hear one more in the leadership of the Republican party say, one more time: well we should get back to the ideas of Regan….  YOU A. HOLES, YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT 5 YEARS AGO. He swept the country, but no… we have to out spend even the Democrats, ignore the immigration problem, we have to play nice and make friends with the likes of Kennedy, that drunk, murdering, liar. (The new tone). Its like we always play patty cake in the middle of a knife fight. I have a new tone the next time we are in power..  act like we won.. they will. Just watch. Kick out these dam RINO’s in the primaries. Did you people at the RNC notice… our complaints when we yelled about too much spending, but no, lets keep the ear mark, that told us: screw you we will do what we want..  Did you notice when the people in America were mailing bricks to Washington to tell you to build a fence?? No!  Lets work out a amnesty plan,with Kennedy…  I think I will speak for many conservatives, be a patriot first, and conservative second, a Republican third. IF YOU DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRY, IT WILL BE RIGHT FOR THE PARTY. Look at what Regan did and copy it. I’m not a brilliant political mind but if someone won 49 states in an election I think that wouldbe good enough. God bless America, we might need it with the children back in power…

I don't understand what...

is so different about the demographics between Georgia and North Carolina.

Not that McCain winning in North Carolina would have made any great difference in the outcome, but I am just curious why the differences.

As for any thoughts that Obama might moderate, he could play the "good cop" to the "bad cop" of Pelosi/Reid.  He could say he didn't want ________ but was over-ruled by Congress and the Senate.  He could say he really didn't want the Fairness Doctrine, but Congress did.  In essence, he can "vote present" when Pelosi/Reid legislation comes across his desk.

If you are referring to the

If you are referring to the FannieMae / FreddieMac collapse, you are sadly misinformed about the source of these troubles.  The bad debts which destroyed FMx2 were the product of Democrats and liberal Democrat policies including Obama himself, starting with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977.  That is a Dem scandal, through and through. 

YOU think the jerks who brought this crsis on are capable of resolving this mess satisfactorily?  That's about as smart as putting the fox in charge of the hen house.

Look folks us older guys have been through this before.

You will wake up tomorrow and the sun will probably shine (might shine, but if it don't that's happened before), This is not the end of the America we love, if  it is, we love a pretty weak america. The good news, we get to vote again in only 4 years!!

70's All Over Again

That's a good point MightyMouth. It just feels like we're about to go through the 70's again. 

I do hope no one does anything stupid in retaliation.  The MSM will claim that President Obama never got a chance to succeed.  Let's not give him any excuses.

I remember that the media started talking about the 2008 Election as soon as Bush won in 2004.  I'm betting we won't hear about 2012 talk for a while.

What do you think?

 

I agree.  Give him a chance

I agree.  Give him a chance to play out his "presidency". When he falters, we can only criticize him.  But the MSM will not criticize him, it is all part of the job.  Yet Bush will still get all the blame...

It's time to burn the party down and return to core Republican values.

everyone says that obama is jimmy carter on steroids!

When the obama recession hits everyone, the poor won't worry about new tv, or high electric bills, they'll worry about food for their family. 

It is 1970s All Over Again

We won't hear about 2012 for some time now that the media has elected the candidate of their choice.  I too will treat the new President with same dignity and respect as the Left displayed toward President Bush.

oscar

the media is dead.  they died this election year when they put the gun to their mouth and pulled the trigger.  No longer do we have to subject ourselves to their bias!

The INTERNET MEDIA is alive and well...growing by leaps & bounds. 

 

True, the internet media is

You libs can oficially can that racism bullshit too. We have a Black President. We should immediately end all affirmative action.

I have said this too.

and I keep hoping that it is true, that "this too will pass".  What concerns me is that never in the past have we elected someone who is SO liberal and SO radical in his beliefs, voting record and so on.  Yeah, we've had liberal presidents before, but not like this....

This too will pass?

Lets hope so. I believe the Jews in 1930's Europe were saying the same thing at the time.

PALIN/McCain 2008

Yep, this will pass

Like a kidney stone

MM,

Don't know about you, but I'll be voting in two. :)

And you're right, we will get through this stronger. The rep. party will have to rebuild itself anew. Maybe some tough love will straighten them out.

New leadership at RNC is a must!!!!

Flipping b/w CNN and MS-NBC....

Gee, it's good to know this election wasn't just about race....LOL

Sheesh.  It's all coming out now...in a flood.   As if we didn't know it all along.

Yeah, exactly

just saw on our local news the reporter talking to a young black woman (20's) who had never voted before and an older black woman who hadn't voted in a long time.  They had voted this time because it was so "historically significant".  I have a problem with anyone voting solely on the basis of race.  Whether for or against, it is wrong.  Of course the only kind we ever heard about in the media was the people supposedly voting against him based on race. 

It's no different than any

It's no different than any other single issue voter.  Many people in here I'm sure vote just on the issue of Roe v Wade.  that's the beauty of america.

Even more beautiful

Is the fact that racism, as an issue, is OFFICIALLY off the table. End affirmative action NOW!!!!

I am even more proud of the USA, 40 years after the darkest days of the civil rights struggle the country was able to electa black man to the highest office in the land. We should be proud of our country, we may not like Obama, but you have to respect what he and his campaign has done over the last 21 months.

I hope that he will pursue a centrist path of governance, bi-partisan leadership, and the advancement of the greatest country that god has given man.

   “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”   -Chief Justice John Roberts

Exactly!

I was just telling me wife, the reason we have a McCain candidacy is that Huckabee was in it.  I knew all kinds of people at church that were voting for him because he was a baptist minister.  To me, to vote for that reason alone is just as stupid as voting for or against someone solely based on race.  I think we just lost in some sort of enormous shell game..

OMG, we must be brothers, I

OMG, we must be brothers, I told my wife the same thing around 9:00. If not for Huckabee we might not be were we are right now..

 

 

Ronald Reagan, 1962: I did not leave the Democratic party, the party left me.

Insert: your name, 2008, and the Republican party.

 

Are you saying

If not for Huckabee. Mitt Romney would have been the candidate?  Do you honestly think he could have won?  If that had been the case, he would have won the primary and been the candidate.

I had to hold my nose and vote for McCain.  Now I just hope the GOP has learned a lesson and will get back to our conservative roots.  Now that "America has broken the racial barrier" we can wake up and see what we've done.  I can't believe this country elected a Socialist.  But then we elected Jimmy Carter too, and we survived.

Don't blame Huckabee.  Blame McCain for being so foolish as to think the media would continue their love affair with him and running a lackluster campaign.  And let's get Congress back in 2010!!! 

Someone owes me a beer

Hey! I think you guys said you are buying the beers if Obama wins. Owe up please.

Sorry, already drank yours

and my neighbors, and the guy down the street (six and going strong!)

aa

You can't have any beers, obama spent all your beer money on tonights party...2 million dollars!  He spent 4 million on 30minute tv commercial last week.  All the money he got from small donations from supporters.

 

Should have voted Republican....we know how to controll spending and we always shared with others!

Ha!

Nice one TN Mom.

Question for y'all

Since I already have my religion, and alcohol, I need to get a gun.  What is a good weapon to have for someone who doesn't know much about guns (yeah, I'm former Air Force, but I dealt with the big boys - nukes )?  Something small and easy to manage.  9MM, I've fired, but was hoping for something smaller.

ammo

Remember, there will be new restrictions. Choose a caliber that's easy to get ammo for. I'd suggest an older minty S&W .22 mag revolver without the trigger lock. Spend what it takes, it will be more valuable later. Ammo is still cheap and there is a valuable benefit I won't mention here. dallasguns is a good place to start.

So who will be Luke and the Rebel forces in four years?  Will you stand?  Or fall?

I am not happy by any

I am not happy by any means. Let Jimmy Carter #2 have his time. Time to move on.  Yes, I went to bed depressed. I am emboldened.  I will give this boob a chance. I will be keeping score. Like someone already said in this thread, I will treat Obama like the left treated us for 8 years. Hurricanes, meteors, floods, economic meltdowns, anything at all, I will be blaming Obama.


Republican party WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!

Well, we got BHO out of the Senate, where he could ...

No BHO in the Senate, where he could propose baloney Bills like Federal Health Care, or STOP DRILLING for Oil legislation.  He can Veto Bills if he so Desires, but let the Pork begin in the House/Senate. 

He has been DO NOTHING Senator with Zero Accomplishments, lets hope he Repeats his non performance as President.  He has won a Popularity Contest, with supposed Talent for something . . and he owes someone $600 million in Favors . . . but he owes Americans for the Elections, lets us HOPE its the same Debtors.

As any Illinois Politician knows, The career Path of the Illinois Governor, is Govenor in the Executive Mansion in Springfield, Then Joliet Prison.   BHO and his campaign have proved that he fits the profile of an Illinois politician.

Lets see if BHO survives the ACORN Organization, because ACORN is going down, and all their Bull Shit VOTER registration antics will  not be repeated the next election.

Lets see if BHO survives the International Campaign Contributions investigation and his other shady $600 million in contributions.

Americans have spoken, and they will keep speaking, and Congress should keep Listening, or Americans will fix the Problems with a non performing Congress, or a President elect turned Socialist Dictator.  Elections every Two years, ya know ?

Thank you President BUSH for your Courage and Leadership, BHO has a lot to live up to.

congratulations

congratulations to President-elect Obama.

It was remarkable that McCain/Palin did as well as they did - and, undoubtedly, would have done better (and perhaps would have won) if it weren't for the financial meltdown.

It was remarkable that McCain/Palin did as well as they did - and, undoubtedly, would have done better (and perhaps would have won) if it weren't for the financial meltdown.

A financial meltdown brought to us by the Democrat Party and FannieMae/Freddy Mac.  Wonder if obama will have to give the $$ back, he took from them?  That would sure heat a lot of homes this winter!

the other irony

The other irony is that McCain was hamstrung by his own campaign bill.

Just looked at the electoral map - I'm thankful I still live in the ever-shrinking "flyover country" (as you do).

Can't believe Murtha was re-elected!

NOW

Now the new conservative movement can begin.

over the next 2-4 years.

getting back on message.

reduce gov't.  

encourage people to work hard, not to want something from their country

stop borrowing money to pay for crazy entitlements

secure that damn border

Emphasis on education in ways other than subsidization of failure

... the list goes on but the republicans, the so called conservatives have lost their way.

Dare I say a search for a smart conservative minded man, not the one who wears his religion the clearest on his sleeve. put religion back to a private matter not condition.  

Since this is a site about the media...

It is my opinion that there is one and only one entity to place blame on, and that is the MSM.  From Day 1, they glossed over or outright ignored Obama's history, voting record, lack of experience, and highly questionable connections and treated him like a rock star (which in this Jerry Springer/TMZ/ET/MTV/VH1/Comedy Central world was perfect for the skulls full of mush that eagerly absorb that kind of crap).  Even tonight I saw commentators saying they didn't know how Obama would be on certain issues.  How in the hell could you vote for him if you don't know his stand on things?!?  Don't you think that's something you might want to have examined by now??  If the MSM spent 1/1000th the energy examining the Messiah as they did Sarah Palin, McCain would be way ahead.  Sarah Palin was not a "drag" on the ticket; she's the only reason it's closer than it was.  Just like one word (macaca) in 2006, this year a crisis that was created and made worse by the Democrats, became a Republican problem.  The attacking of Joe the Plumber, shutting off access of media outlets that dared ask Biden tough questions, all of this can be directly attributed to the fact that the MSM chose to sell their soul in order to get their pre-ordained candidate into office.

TRUE

TRUE

White Devils - What Obama calls White People. Really.

Okay...my tears have dried and now I must vent.

Is the The Fairness Doctrine going to be an issue? 

Obama will sign into law a bill that allows for tax-payer funded abortions.  I don't want my tax dollars going to infanticide. 

What about National Security?  Is it going to take another terrorist attack to bring this nation around? 

Oh great 4 years of Joe Biden....the gift that keeps on giving. 

What has this man said in all of his charismatic empty speeches that made a woman think that Obama was going to pay her mortgage and gas?  What drugs are these people on. 

I just don't get it. 

Maybe this will mobilize the conservative base to make it stronger than ever. 

 

Travis

I've always been a Republican, but I am now a BORN-AGAIN CONSERVATIVE since this election!

 

Was Obama even born in the U.S.?

Does anyone have info on this?

Travis

There's an attorney named Berg who is pursuing the possibility he was not born in Hawaii as he says.  There's some problem with his birth certificate. No raised seal or something.  Berg has taken it to the Supreme Court trying to get them to look into the possibility he was born in Kenya.  There will be a lot of odds and ends coming out about 'the one' now.  Some will be serious.  Hope we make it through, though a good impeachment would sure perk me up right about now.   

Barak 0bama - Afraction American

What would happen?

If Obama turns out to be an illegal immigrant, does that mean Biden takes over as President-elect, or is the whole ticket invalid?  Could McCain withdraw his concession and demand a new election?

With all this talk about 'making history,' how ironic would it be if a supposed historical first (halfrican american) turns out to be a different historical first--the first illegal immigrant to win a U.S. Presidential election?

That's funny, I don't care who you are.

Souter orders Obama to respond to suit

 From the report:

"In a statement today, Berg said he was told by a clerk for Souter that
his application for an injunction to stay the election was denied. But
he also said the defendants "are required to respond to the Writ of
Certiorari" by Dec. 1.
"

I demand real change - force a Democrat to speak the truth!

I love this question

Was McCain born in the US?  You might want to check that out.  The MSM seemed to overlook it...

As to Obama, he was born in 1961 and Hawaii joined the union in 1959, so the answer to your question is yes. The answer to my question is....no.

To our trolling liberal friends

  You believe that your messiah will lead you into better times and everyone around the world will now be much happier with America.  May I suggest that you read the Declarations of Independence, US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.  Our laws were based on basic rights and freedoms that no other country enjoyed.  Please learn what your rights are before you lose them.

  That being said, when Obama begans his great "social" programs and reforms, I will sit back and laugh.  American owned companies will be forced to move overseas to stay competitive.  Small business will take the blunt as they will not be able to compete.  American workers will be out of work in masses.  So sorry coal companies, ah crap, we didn't need them anyway. 

   As for me, I'll be sitting back on my a$$ drawing my monthly welfare check.  Why work and pay taxes when I can get my part of the redistribution of wealth. You wanted him, you got him.  Now its time for you all to put up or shut up.  Please start working harder as your taxes will be increasing. 

Quick! The gene pool needs more chlorine.

humblepie

I'm with ya...think I'll quit paying my mortgage.  Now that obama has been elected, there is no need for Affirmative Action or Black History month in schools. 

 

New memo came out..

It's no longer called Black History month, the chosen one renamed it to Black Forgiveness century.

Quick! The gene pool needs more chlorine.

humble

Why, that would be racist...I'm gonna sue!

The military

The military will pay dearly.  I have served for over 12 years so far, I first joined under Clinton, left for a bit then came back and I know what Obama means for the military.  During his security briefs he has proposed similar plans as to those Clinton imposed: smaller force, early retirements and cuts to funding.  How long before we suffer another large scale attack?  I can only guess, but it will be too soon for my book.  My wife is slightly libeal and voted for McCain because of the military and after tonight supports my drive to own a personal weapon again.  Fight for the America I serve, not a politician.  Fight for the country that gave us the freedom to post here (so far).  Fight for your family, friends and neighbors.  Fight for the American dream.  Do not be afraid to declare yourself as a consevative.  Do not be afraid of the next few years.  Carter gave us Reagan and Obama can give us a Romney or another light in this dark hour.  Do not give up, please.  For our future, do not give up.

Jay,

Thank you for your service. Rest assured that I would not dishonor those who have given life and limb for my freedom by quitting. With any luck, and strong will, we can turn this tide in as little as two years. Let's get to work.

He may or may not advance Americanism, but we need to stand united. Lets not do to Obama what the dems did to Bush. We need to heal the nation. We will be waiting in 1463 days if you slip up.

Gallup's final poll had

Gallup's final poll had Obama winning by 11 points!!!  It looks like Gallup's poll was off by only a measly 8 points.  I don't suspect that Obama's media organ (i.e., the American press corps) will recite that abysmal polling history when they cite, unchallenged, Gallup's polls in 2012.

as much as worry about a socialist nanny state ...

now that the country has elected a nobody with a questionable past to lead us into who knows what ...

i'll give the guy 2 years and see whether he and his liberal allies do more than create a wave of "buyer's remorse" for all those who touted him as being "what America needs"

if obama, reid, pelosi and biden do what many think they will (institute a massive socialist agenda hellbent on destroying the middle class by redistributing wealth while silencing all opposition through the "fairness" doctrine) ... i predict a vigorous backlash come 2010.  over 45 million voted for mccain, it doesn't leave much room for error ... the country didn't "swing" to the left, it "tilted" to test unchartered waters.

some heavy duty stuff on obama's immediate agenda may be:

- his initiating a quick w/drawal from iraq and then that country dissolves into a violent quagmire

- israel, fearing its survival, suddenly attacks iran

- obama starts meddling in other "iraq-like" situations in places like darfur (i still don't understand how people oppose iraq, yet pine for US intervention in the sudan ... genocide is genocide)

- if al-qaeda (or another terrorist group) is emboldened by what appears could be an appeasement-oriented, weakened US foreign policy ... decides to conduct another massive attack

- if fuel prices start to rise again because he taxes oil companies and still refuses to consider drilling

- i won't even mention the economic mess his party helped create and now must fix

if the right things aren't done ... and done fast ... the phrase "are you better now than you were 2 years ago" might be the mantra of a GOP/conservative tsunami in the next midterm elections.

bottom line, IMHO, obama has a huge amount of pressure on him to deliver on all the promises he and his party have been making (for years) ... they haven't done a damn thing the past 2 years ... now that they have total control, i believe it is "do or die" mode

does anyone wish to wager on my belief that a major part of this new gov't will be devoted to punishing george bush ... ?

 

To answer your question

  He's already stated "unofficially" that he will establish a counsel to look into Pres. Bush dealing and will tilt towards legal action.

Stop acting like a bunch of drama queens.  Everything's going to be alright.  Sit back, relax, let the credibility restoration train roll.  No need to hate.  I think McCain's speech was very telling.  The man has serious respect for Obama, and McCain will be in on this new process. Good days ahead.  Is that so outrageous?

Ugh.

I need a stiff drink.  Too bad my shift started at 10:00 p.m.

YES WE CAN

say hi to our new president.

there are people partying across the nation and in the streets. when have you ever seen that after any election?stop being cynical and partisan and look at what is happening in this country. that's is what Barack Obama is all about–hope. and that is something this country has lacked for some time.

and for the Obama-haters, can we be any worse off than where we are right now? truly. 

ph

your little party is gonna end in one, BIG MASSIVE HANG-OVER as soon as obama makes people get hard-working jobs for the hand-outs!  Sucky jobs! 

maybe i'll do a little dancing myself tonight!

obama/pelosi/reid just spent all the money on the big 1TRILLION BAIL-OUT!

BTW: I know how to work hard and I have never, ever depended on the Govmnt....or anyone, but myself so I can survive 4 years!

little party?

you are a perfect example of why this country is in the shape it is. "your little party." stop being so provincial. it's about people, who cares about parties? i've voted for republicans and democrats. it's about who do you think is the best person for the job, not the best party member. 

"YOUR" party has been in office for 2 terms and what do we have to show for it. get over it and get over yourself and embrace change. it's good for you. Yes You Can. 

phbalanced

phbalanced, in the words of the Talking Heads, "STOP MAKING SENSE!"  I still don't understand what the hate is all about.  It's so silly. If McCain had won, I would've taken it like a man, rolled up my sleeve, realized the country is bigger than my ego and lent my support to him.  People on this site tend to be on the drama queen side.  I just read a post where some guy said that "this is the end of the United States." I don't know where that comes from.  It's a beautiful day.

I'm not sure the country is bigger than obama's ego...

TN Mom

I guess.  I mean, it seems to me that nothing will ever please the people on this website.  The vast majority of the people that I work with all agreed that there really was no the possibility of a bad outcome in this election.  Once you weed through the baseless attacks/guilt by associations (the lowest form of personal attack) on both sides, we had two exceptional individuals running for office.  I really think John McCain showed his true class in his concession; a level of class that had been lost in the past month.  I think that Obama was the man to break the barrier, and he proved that with his grace under pressure and his reluctance to sink to appeal to our lowest instincts.  Let it ride for a minute.  Maybe we will FINALLY have some accountability.

 I think that Obama was

 I think that Obama was the man to break the barrier, and he proved that with his grace under pressure

There was no pressure for obama...he had a free ride from the media! 

I'm with ya on accountability:  ACORN will receive justice, finally!  The FEC will look into obama's fraudualant donations! 

 

Phbalanced...I know about you.

Rush Limbaugh mentioned that Obama's campaign hired people to stir the sh*t on conservative websites.

I'm not interested in your "say hi to our new president" B*ll Sh*T

Obama is a socialist thug with terrorist connections.  Why don't  you go post on Daily Kos!  Get lost.

rush?

ahhh, rush limbaugh. the known beacon of truth.

as i mentioned in an earlier reply, i've voted at various times for both parties. i'm an independent. and i'm not stirring anything. i'm trying to help you guys get over yourselves and your ridiculousness and embrace change. you have no choice.

  I think it's time to tell the Republican Party officials to kiss our butts.  The time is right to start a new conservative party and get back to our core beliefs. If we can't take our party back, start anew.   Keep the flame alive, achieve all information on Obama and Dem's.  Come 2010 we can force them out of office and take our country back.

"Tis' Truly A Dark Day In America"

You know, I can understand the rest of the networks lavishing praise on their Messiah.  To see the Fox News "conservative" pundits stick their head up Obama's bunghole truly makes me want to throw up!!!  There was nothing fair or honorable about this election.  This man and this moment deserves no congratulation.  It just shows you that the highest job in the land can be bought like something off of a store shelve.  I thought we learned our lesson after Watergate!  If Obama hadn't broken his pledge for campaign financing, do you think he would've won?

I have a message to the people who helped elect this race-baiting, terrorist-loving, dictator-appeasing, America-bashing, infanticide-supporting, income-redistributing, elitist snob.  I just want to say, "Fu** You Very Much for sending this ONCE great nation into a cesspool of Socialism, Marxism, and Nazism!"

Sincerely,

Eirenua
 

On the plus side...

I haven't bothered to read all the Open Threads, so I don't know if this has been brought up.  There is a silver lining in Obama's win; yes, it's a thin lining, but a lining nonetheless.

We have seen the last of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Unless Hillary goes against the longstanding tradition against challenging an incumbent (always a possibility; after all, Sarah Palin did it), she will not be able to run until 2016. By that point in time, she will be 68 years old.  And we're not dealing with a woman noted for her patience.

I'm calling it right now:  Hillary Clinton will not seek reelection to her Senate seat in four years.  She will finish out her term (likely with a high rate of absenteeism) and then retire.   

It's possible she may even concoct a reason to step aside after the dust of the election settles (say, in six months); since New York has a (D) Governor, she could be confident that he would appoint another Democrat to finish her term.  Either way, there's no point for her to remain the junior senator from New York if there's no career advancement prospects.

So, in the shadow of defeat, there is reason to celebrate: the Clinton Era is finally over!

Daily Sarah Palin fact:

Sarah Palin and Chuck Norris walk into a bar. The bar instantly explodes because no man-made structure can contain that much awesomeness.

God Bless

The US Military!

Period. They have performed with great valour. A true historic accomplishment that will be praised for generations. Our Canadian  troops are getting additional funding. Funding Freedom.

We need to have some perspective on this time. The US election decided by in order.

People still in school.

People voting on race.

People who have never worked.

People who have worked and could not hack it.

People who have rarely if ever served.

People who don't read.

They are a large group huh. The future of the free world and the most powerful position ever determined by this crowd.

They had it right when the gangs got back in a room and actually made a organized decision in a smoke filled room. Oh wait, that just happened and they sold it to the morons I mentioned. Dumb me, I always underestimate the stupidity of the American elecorate and colleges.

Say , what the hell is going on with American Women? They went for this fraud? Still part of the victim class? 

I want to be a victim, starting tomorrow. Please????  

 

I've said this all along

I've said this all along for over 4 years now. The media fed the public bad news about the economy no matter what. It scared the public and destroyed Bush. The news stories will start to suddenly become good news as soon as Obama takes office. "Look what Obama did to the gas prices" "The recession is over" Unemployment is coming down".

Get ready for good news every day from the MSM. Then you will see polls taken everyday. "Obama has an approval rating of over 80%". Every 2% growth in the economy under Bush was horrible but the same growth under Obama will be "things are turning around" Hail the Messiah!

It's a DOUBLE DOUBLE, 2 senators, 2 Lawyers, Gone from Senate

So long Senator Biden, Barrack, you ain't voting in the Senate next Year.  

Thats the good News, Pelosi and Reid are still the BAD NEWS for Obama, and not one Republican to Blame in the future for the Financial Crisis, the current one, and the NEXT ONE. 

And the Republican leaders who ran the Republican Party are Toast.  Re-Orgs are on the Agenda. 

Will The Republicans moving to Alaska please call Obama when the Russian Missiles are seen headed for the lower 56.   or was it 49 ?   

Thank you President Bush, for your Courage and Leadership. 

It will be interesting to see--

It will be interesting to see-- the number of early retirments in the military. Obama wants them gone, but I met many an early retiree after Clinton blew into the Oval Office. (Pun intended!)

It's all about the ice cream>............

It's all about the Ice Cream .....

From a former elementary teacher............

The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade in 2000.  The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest.  I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.

To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class Members.  We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.

The class had done a great job in their selections.  Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother. The day arrived when they were to make their speeches.  Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Everyone applauded.
 
He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. Her speech was short and concise.

She said, 'If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream.'  She sat down.

The class went wild.  'Yes! Yes! We want ice cream.' 

She surely would say more. She did not have to. Discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it? She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream.  Jamie was forgotten.  Olivia won by a land slide.

The Lesson we have learned ........

Every time Barack Obama opens his mouth he offers ice cream, and fifty percent of America reacts like nine-year-olds.  They want ice cream.

The other fifty percent know they're going to have to feed the cow, and care for any residue.

Something I Wrote on Another Site (sorry for reposting)

Well, I respect everyone on here wanting to be magnanimous about it all and truly thank Charles for all he's done during this election and also world issues that deeply concern all of us.   However, I will not and do not congratulate him.  He is a despot in the making and to congratulate him would be like thanking the guard before entering the gas chambers at Auschwitz.  Thanks but no thanks.  This entire congratulatory, conciliatory, thank you for screwing me in the rear attitude most conservatives exhibit was the reason for our downfall in this election.  McCain practiced it with great finesse and look at him today.  At his age, he had nothing to lose since he's in the twilight of his life but think about all the young people who never had a chance to grow up in the America most of us have grown up in.   This is not a day of celebration, it's a day of mourning.  A National Day of Mourning.   For months I’ve been bitching about Hussein and watched this site and others call him every name in the book, all mostly justified, and for me to congratulate him now would be super hypocritical on my part.   

That said, we are all free to say and do what we please in this dying Democracy so knock yourselves out.....but not me, sorry.
