Is There A Silver Lining, Maybe Hidden? (Maybe Vanity, Maybe Not)

Now that the blood-letting has begun, could there be anything good about this election?

I've thought hard about this. Please don't stone me! There could be some unexpected bonuses coming down conservative way. First and foremost, two ultra-lefty senators are gone (Obama and Biden). The Hildabeast is ruined. Hell, she was ruined to begin with. If Corzine goes to the cabinet, another lefty gone from the senate. Could be some of the ability to make laws will be weakened and obamesiah will not get his programs through so easily. And last, but not least, maybe some strong GOP candidates will emerge, like two-gun Sarah. We will see her shine. Can you add to this?

What’s good about this...

Obama can’t defeat God. God is in charge.

I think foreign policy wise, we will see the end of nation building.

I wish I could add to your optimism. My faith is longer in my country. It’s not mine anymore. BO will take all it represents away. No flag flying for me. Nothing that reflects that I am a BO supporter in any way. There isn’t one thing he represents, not one belief he has that I agree with. (except perhaps his choice of cigarettes may have been the same as mine WHEN I smoked. I happen to have had the character to quit. Unlike the “weak” one)

Silver linings? Consider that when the Serbian and Russian tanks roll into Kosovo somewhere in the next six months, it will be Obama and not some pubbie president sitting there posing looking ****-faced about it. I don’t really know of anything ELSE you’d call a silver lining but that one kind of jumps out at you.

Yes. No longer can the argument that America won’t elect a man because he is black hold water. Of course, I would have preferred this man to have been a conservative black man. But that is one argument out of the election mix.

nope nothing good about this

he will place two supreme court judges
we will have to live with that for 20 years at least

during that time every liberal agenda will be pushed though that court

no nothing good about this at all unless you are a raving homo, communist, markist, islimic nut case, black racist

and yes blacks can be racist infact blacks are more racist as this eelction has proved

Now we have proof (as if we needed any) that America is not a racist country. We have done something that even liberal Europe has never done.

In order to get another Ronald Reagan we must first need to have another Jimmy Carter.

We are halfway there.

Two good things: 1. Can’t blame Bush any more. 2. With the Dems in charge of everything, can’t blame Republicans. When things start going down the toilet the Democratic hand is on the lever!

Well, let’s see. There is really no silver lining, some one please correct if I am wrong. The electoral window for the GOP is closing in every cycle.

-It’s been 24 years since a republican President won Washington and Oregon, now since written off.

-It’s been 20 years since a republican President won California, Pennsylvania, or Illinois, Illinois has been written off. California is just about written off.

- Even with a popular incumbent President, the most Bush could get was 286 electoral votes in 2004.

- Some cracks in the South. VA went blue for the first since 1964 and North Carolina for the first time since 1976.

Please tell where to be optimistic.

One HUGE loss for the liberal cause is “White Guilt”. It is dead and buried. Do not underestimate it’s effects.
