I share your feeling. I don't understand why some Freepers attacked me for pointing out the obvious. The country has decided it wants Obama. Who am I to argue with them?

You're certainly no troll! Your problem is that you were so adamant that the polls were wrong and that McCain would win, etc. Looks like you were whistling past the graveyard after all...

We survived Carter. People took their disapproval of Bush out on McCain. He never stood a chance but he made it close. The good news is, if there is good news, is Hillary will never become President.

There will not be any fair elections period in 2012 mark my words!!!

After tonight if obama wins, this country as a republic is no more.

Before 6 months is up, we all will know the meaning of socialism.

This is like a surreal nightmare.

There should be — that’s why we lost Ohio.

Pretty flat (Dow futures are down 20 points)... It was already baked into the numbers.

To: everyone

See my previous post #932. Stop belly-aching. Stop whining. Stop moaning. Stop complaining. Stop the defeated attitudes.

If you don’t believe in God, then you’d better get it right now, because if Obama really does win this election, you better make SURE your soul is secure. If you do believe in God, you are not defeated. You are victorious. But, only through God.

Stop advertising your downcast face.

Start doing what victorious believers do. Pray! And when all hope seems lost, pray again! And, when it looks like it’s impossible, pray again! That’s the only way you can change things.

PERFECT!

The election was stolen, everything is Obama’s fault, and impeach Obozo. My new battle cries!!

I had a call a minute ago and I answered the phone ‘IMPEACH OBAMA HEADQUARTERS’. The person who called me offered a 30 million dollar donation. To bad I know this person and I know the check will bounce!

I hope you go. Just sit out the dinners in the bar like I always do!

We always get together in the hotel bar on Saturday night... the last night of CPAC. The past three or so years we only found a handful of FReepers though. Still, it's always a good time.

I have to admit I've LOVED every CPAC banquet I've ever been to. They always have a star-studded group of speakers... some of the most inspiring speeches I've ever heard in my life have been at those banquets. IMO, they are well worth the money. Problem is, this year, "the money" is a LOT more than it used to be... :-(

What a depressing night, huh? Obama only needs a few more states... I really thought McPalin had a chance in PA and/or OH. I'm really finding it difficult to imagine life under the arrogant reign of Obama-Pelosi-Reid. Ugh...

My fervent hope is that Obama raises taxes and jobs go in the toilet for 2 years. Then we can get congress back and stop this bastard in his tracks. Otherwise, he’ll do an incremental drip-drip-drip/slowing heating the frog pot such that the idiots who just screwed themselves and the rest of us don’t realize the disaster they’ve wrought and it drags on for eaight years, never to be reversed.

Me too. Tomorrow, I start a personal boycott on all things liberal.

I was just thinking the same thing. Nothing and no one liberal will get a cent from me. And that's just for starters. For eight years Republicans have brought butter knives to the Democrats' gunfights. "Republicans don't do that" is all we hear. We're not "dirty" like the Dems.

Meanwhile the Democrats steal votes, lie, cheat, and bully. And look what it got them. I think we should go Chicago on their a**es.

The majority of the American people have decided to go Left. They’ve voted themselves freebies. Brace yourself. We’re going to have a European style social democracy in this country. Its time to face the truth.

You know, my Dad taught me two very valuable lessons that have stayed with me my entire life:

1. Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it and,

2. Nothing good ever comes from bad money.

I think you are right. People thought they were going to get handouts and they might just find that there is nothing free when they get those handouts.

The Palin-McCain ticket did surprisingly well here in this Central MO County, just as well as GWB in 2004 in our precinct, but I suspect a lot of that had to do with the enthusiastic reception that Palin received this weekend here in this area.

When. oh, when can we rid our party leadership of leftist, (compassionate) amnesty RINOs and actually begin again to win as Reagan showed how it could be done.

Ohio was fraud central. Not surprised.
However, I will say that this was most likely a legitimate win by Obama.
And lets not act as if the world has come to an end.
The worst he can do in four years is replaces some lefty Supreme Court judges with other lefties.

I will go to work tomorrow, and come home. Plan some things I have with my family...etc.
We can make it through...we survived a bloody civil war in this country, race riots, etc.

Let’s just hope Obama is more concerned with his own legacy over his radical beliefs.
If he governs too far to the left, we will have our day two years later in both houses, like with Clinton. Maybe he knows how to preserve his job....stay in the middle. We’ll see.

EVERY THING IS GOING TO BE OK!! We all die in the end, and it’s more important to enjoy your day, and love your family.
