Thanks for the ping Phsstpok. I think I will forgo the Sunday Shows for a bit and look for the positives in this election. I'm sure there are some and maybe '08 will turn out well for "real" conservatives, not the "pseudo" conservatives we have been putting up with.
Does anyone notice when the Dems are in power the conversations are all about bi-partisanship and working together to "solve" all the problems. Yet when the Reps were in power no viler language could be found anywhere than from nearly all Dems about dumb, foolish, won't work, not good for the country, wrong war, wrong time, terrorism not a real threat, impeachment, filibustering everyone, blah, blah, blah. Only the Dems apparently have "good working" ideas with a "firm" grasp on reality.
I like the first words from Representative-elect Heath Shuler's mouth when he gave his thank you speech. "First of all I want to thank God and my faith", or words to that effect. I bet this went over well with all the Democrats who believe any faith or belief in God is bad for the country.
He started off by mentioning that "tomorrow is an extremely important day for America," and the crowd went wild, thinking he was talking about taking power. But of course, he launched into his praise of the Marine Corps, and the crowd cheered a little less loudly. Then he thanked all the brave veterans and brave men still fighting, and the crowd cheered a little less loudly again. Then he mentioned that he received a call from Sen. Allen, and the crowd went nuts again. Then he mentioned how pleasant and dignified Allen was, and the crowd grew quiet. Then he said he was having lunch next week with Allen — and the crowd was dead silent. Finally he told the audience that they should all thank Sen./Gov. Allen for his many years of dedicated service to the people of Virginia — and you could almost hear the people gathered looking at each other asking, "What the $#@! did we just do?" It was priceless.
