Republican kumbaya redux.

Ditto: Nov 5th will tell maybe.
The magic is gone. Check out the people leaving in the middle of an Obama speech.

pResident Obola was re-elected, yet I saw many stories bout how bad his ratings were. We’ll see about this election.
Salena, what we want is not to get along with Marxists, but to return the USA to the freedom it had.
Here lies Karl Rove

Be a big enough stink and folks will hold their noses and vote against you.
It still could be a squeaker, what with cheating and all.
We just voted. I think we did some damage. Didn’t vote a straight (R) ticket. Some of the (R) candidates were just as creepy as the (D) candidates.
