The media will have front row seats to a historic defeat.
It will be worth the price of admission to see 0bama cry.
I just hope he doesn’t use the opportunity to launch a race war.

Are the Republicans complaining because Obama is able to charge more than they can?

This story reminds me of the false rumors the Republicans planted after it was revealed that Hillary Clinton made a $99K profit in the cattle futures market. People should have acclaimed Hillary for her genius at making money in her spare time. Instead Republican presstitutes planted false rumors that Hillary had "inside" information that enabled her to be a good capitalist.

In one breath the Republicans bitch about Senator Obama being a socialist and in the next breath they bitch about the profits he will make on election night. When will the Republicans' unbearable hypocrisy ever end?

The media, if they had any brains, should be able to read a lot into this. It tells what Obama is all about - arrogance, power, etc. Shape of things to come if he is elected.

I just saw Governor Palin on Hannity and she was asked about Obama's overconfidence. She responded by saying he was measuring drapes, working with Pelosi to convene right after the election, etc. and then she said a line that I thought was dynamite.

She said they were all busy planning what they were going to do to the country. We're so used to hearing them all say what they are going to do for the country if he won. That really got my attention.

Do you vote in Murrysvile? If so you have an opportunity to see me turning out good Democratic voters for Barack Obama on election day.

Are you OK?

Hillary was allowed to make trades from an account that only held $1,000 but the trades were for much more. The man advising her was an outside consultant for Tyson Foods (hence the inside cattle connection). Hillary was granted unethical favoritism considering her position as First Lady of Arkansas and Tyson Foods’ position as a corporation in Arkansas.

Obama is selling access to himself which, upon acceptance of the outcome of the election (should he be elected) where he becomes a servant of the American people, is unethical. If anything, the United States Treasury should receive the money from his exhibition.

‘good’ Democratic voters? Ohhh...those must be the kind that died recently enough to still be on the voter rolls...

We’re taking your state this year. All your states are belong to us.

No. They are complaining because B.Hussein Obama hasn't obtained a business license. /s

I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps we could pool money and send a Freeper with a long telephoto lens to get some great close shots of Obama after his humiliating defeat....perhaps also a few of angry Michele as she blames whitey for the loss.

I vote tommorrow in Fort Worth and the visible Obama supporters will be few and far between, I assure you!

I propose that the left take New England, most of the Mid-Atlantic states, Northern California, Oregon and Washington State and join Canada, and we’ll keep the rest. Deal?

The Obamessiah should charge mediascum outlets $1 million apiece. He’s letting them off way too lightly. After all, it’s not every year we get to see the annointing of an Obamessiah.

Fortunately, I think there is still a very good chance that Obambi/Biden will crash and burn on Nov. 4. If that happens be sure to be around here MM...... you will need to learn from FReepers the real facts of life...... we would not want to think you are incapable of taking the medicine you will need so badly.

If the worst happens and somehow the Obamessiah and his babbling drooling sidekick manage to lie, cheat, steal, and bamboozle their way to the WH, I promise to spend at least a few minutes visiting your KosFreaks asylum, just to see what psychosis is all about. Actually, I will drop in at Kos either way, win or lose, b/c I know that the inmates there will be unique entertainment.

"Really, it's kind of funny because the media have done so much to boost his candidacy that you'd think the least he could do is give them a few hors d'oeuvres on the night of his coronation, if he is elected."

I know the guy is being sarcastic, but there's more truth to what he said that I'll bet he'd like to admit.
