I just heard about a "blue stater" Party in South Carolina. Is this some kind of freaking sports event to some people????

Come on people, this is too important and our families futures are at stake. I don't care if you are red, yellow, black or white, our children need freedom not socialism. This is not a silly sporting event. Wake Up!!!

arrrrghhh, I am so mad my vision is blurring. This isn't the first time I have seen this Obama thing be presented like "the home team" during an NFL, NBA or college football game. This is the craziest election of our life time, and I am sick of it.

Take the FreeRepublic Challenge and go out and get two people or more who wouldn't be voting for McCain to vote for him.

well of course socialists would treat it as a social event

Might turn out to be more like a funeral dirge than a party.

Once you vote it is a sporting event, you go from being a participant to a witness with rooting interest. Most of the time politics really is a sporting event when you get down to it. We have our team, they make us happy, they let down, they win, they lose, and there isn’t much we get to do about it except give them money and vote.

I disagree. I went to a republican party election party back in 1980 when I was 6 years old and loved it. It was at Chucky Cheese’s so of coarse I loved it.

Because of that I am holding my own election night party as I did in 2004 to watch election returns. We are starting at 8pm Mountain time after most polls in the country are closed. After all of the hard work we have done, why not have some fun?

I don’t know about you, but I plan on spending Election Night in my La-Z-Boy recliner, with the big screen on, the remote control handy, and my laptop live on FR.

I propose a drinking game...

Tomorrow night, every time you hear a Commentator say “Bradley Effect”, have a shot, and change to another channel. Repeat. Let us know how long you last...

My family and I are having an Election Party! I have two teenage homeschooled-children and it helps them get in the spirit of things and bring together all we have learned this year.

We are dunking “blue” chips into “red” state salsa and will be dining on “vast right wing conspiracy” hot wings! I might even make some kool-aid (in honor of all those liberal losers!) We’ll be watching the results come in and celebrating McCains victory.

It’s our way of taking all these election crazies and well... turning it into a party for the parties! Whoo Hoo!!!

As my daughter the cheerleader says...

“John, John he’s our man...if he can’t do it, Sarah can!!!”
