If I see one more "we are doomed" or "we'll never again win an election" thread I'm gonna puke! ANY reader of American history knows that going back to the 1600s, EVERY generation has faced (yes) a similar challenge, every generation has thought it faced the "end of the colony/state/country. *John Adams and the Federalists were certain that Thomas Jefferson would destroy the country he helped build, and forge an alliance with that "terrorist" country France. *Both Thomas Jefferson and Martin Van Buren said that the Missouri Compromise (that would be 1820, for those of you from Rio Linda) was...

Well, we don't sit around and mope. It's time to go on defense. Don't give the Republicans in congress any time to consider following "that man's" agenda without hearing from you. It's not much, but I've just sent the following to both my Senators and my Representative: Congratulations on your re-election. Now, you face the biggest trial of your political life: standing up to the socialist agenda of President Elect Obama. Make no mistake about it, Obama plans to take this country far to the left and turn it into something more like the USSR than the land of the...

The popular vote is irrelevent. It's unlikely McCain will win the popular vote. Obama will likely win California and New York by 25 or 30 points or more. And black turnout in the South will reduce McCain's margins to single digits. But who cares? Whether you win a state by 1% or 20%, a win is a win is a win in the electoral college. All McCain has to do is hold the Bush states and steal Pennsylvania. I believe whoever wins PA will win the election. The west is hard because of the growth in the hispanic population and...

Collected thoughts and unanswered questions re: Obama’s Place of Birth: 1. If Obama WAS born in Hawaii he was delivered by SOMEONE – an OB/GYN, a midwife (given his mother’s hippy/earth mother tendencies this seems possible) – and yet no one has stepped forward in Hawaii to say – “Hey, I was present at the birth!” That strikes me as a little odd... a dog not barking. Honolulu is a small (1,211,537 in 2000) town TODAY (the hotels and tourist trade belies the fact that there are relatively few people living in the city) – in 1961 Honolulu was MUCH...

Proud2BeRight...Well Said! October 12, 2008 9:49:20 AM EDT · 39 of 39 Proud2BeRight You people just don’t get it. It doesn’t matter. This is about the “hope and change” kool-aid. There is NOTHING that will redirect the mindless idiots who have fallen for his crappola. Being an empty-resume didn’t matter. Voting constantly as a far left-wing liberal didn’t matter. Voting to kill born babies and teach sex-ed to kindergartners didn’t matter. Having friends and mentors like Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Tony Rezko, Raila Odinga, Saul Alinsky, and Rashid Khalidi didn’t matter. Being caught in blatant lies didn’t matter....

It is very sad the number of people on this forum who fell for the lies of the liberal media and consider it as the golden truth. They believe their biased polls, they believe all the fabricated doom and gloom scenarios that the media unleash each minute, they now believe the lies that McCain is fighting with Palin over the style of campaigning, they believe that is all over and we cannot win. Yet those are the same people who make fun for what they like to call “sheeple” and say that they are controlled by the media but in...

You know who you are. You're the one posting stupid comments about what a loser Johnny is. You're the one getting on the political chat shows and telling everyone that you think Obama is super great and that he's going to win! Yeay! And your supposed to be a conservative. Why don't you shut up! I'm talking to all the whiners who piled on and joined the Chris Matthews bandwagon and declared Johnny an old man and a big dull loser. He did fine last night. He was the boss on foreign policy. He's never been a dazzling public speaker...
