In my book I may give you a pass if you voted Barr, 3rd party or write-in. But Obama, not acceptable.

In this election if a person didn't vote for McCain then I have no respect for them. Never had much respect for Barr anyway. Just a rules-based blowhard.

Twenty percent of conservatives voted for Obama, and another however-million stayed home, as part of the effort to continue “teaching the Republican party a lesson.”

Here’s part of an e-mail I got today from Move America Forward:

“Our Troops Need a Morale Boost ASAP

“Election Results Causing Concern that Americans Do Not Support our Troops

“We are hearing from many of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan who are devastated at the results of the presidential balloting. Because President-Elect Barack Obama championed walking away from Iraq without victory, the troops overwhelmingly supported Senator John McCain.

“With Obama’s election victory, they now are wondering whether Americans do not support them and their mission to rid the world of Islamic terrorism. We have to re-assure them that Americans do stand behind our troops and their heroic efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

Twenty percent of conservatives and the millions who stayed home stabbed our troops and Sarah Palin in the back. They also sabotaged the entire country, if not the world, in their effort to gain political power.

Those conservatives handed Obama an undeserved victory exactly the same way Obama wants to hand al Qaeda an undeserved victory in Iraq.

If you want to know why our culture is in the rotten shape it’s in, look no further than people who claim to be patriotic, God fearing, and supportive of the troops, yet deliberately wreck everything that 4000 Americans have died for, all in the name of political gain.

The conservatives who voted for Obama or stayed home are no different than Code Pink.

Well, I voted for McCain, but I never saw a candidate, even Bob Dole, work harder to lose. Obama handed him issues that SCREAMED for attention. McCain said no.

This is a serious question. Did McCain EVER really want to be President?

I considered not voting for McCain, but only because polls showed he was way ahead in TN. I eventually did vote for him though.
