Along the lines of what I was planning, but I love your phrasing...may I borrow?

Absolutely. Just remember to smile and wink.

I’m fed up with predictions vs not final votes in facts, on the tv coverage.

Me too!

(((Purple)))

I know you're praying too and I'm joining you in prayers for victory tonight. Father, we keep knocking on Your door as You commanded us to do. We lay our prayers at Your feet. You and You alone are the deciding Voice. We ask You, Lord, please save us from ourselves. With a word you calmed the seas, and with a word you can change an election. Nothing is impossible for You, Mighty God. We ask these things in the Name of Your Precious Son, Jesus. Amen.

I'm physically here but mentally I can't come to grips with the whole concept that we've just elected a marxist as our next President.

FNC was becoming a little too giddy so I switched to MSNBC thinking they couldn't be any worse. There was good old Robinson (writer for Washington Post?) saying that the GOP doesn't represent the country we live in today and hasn't for years as we're no longer white but much darker due to large Latino influx. Seems to me majority of Latinos favored GWB and McCain was winning their vote BEFORE the economic mess.

Shays lost his bid!

I'm just stunned... I guess we have to admit a lot of the polls were right. I really fear for this country, and wonder just who is populating this (formerly) great nation. Who would vote this empty suit Marxist into power? I can just imagine Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn raising a glass as I type this... *barf*

What IS up with Fox News tonight? They're totally unprofessional, Brit Hume included. They've been spending more time talking about how great their election night set is rather than giving the viewers actual results.

I will be interested in seeing how Latinos voted nationwide in this election. If they go Dem "for life", Republicans/conservatives will be relegated to a very small minority for the rest of our lifetimes, I think..

Yes, Chris Shays lost his seat. So now all five of CT's Congressmen are RATs. And I'll be they will be for life. Some CT Freepers are celebrating the end of "that RINO Chris Shays". I don't see where it's a good thing to lose him... he voted with the Republicans many times...

Virginia and I think Florida (?!) just went to Obama. Hume and Karl Rove talking about the Fairness Doctrine, which is sure to be put in place by this unbelievable 'RAT majority. This is unreal.

Sad moment for the nation’s liberty.

Tonight Hussein ran the table of the battleground states. He did this feat by spending 600 million and aided by MSM that functioned as his press secretaries. Yet despite these advantages, he won the battlegrounds by narrow margins.

The last time that happened we got stuck with FDR for 12+ years.

Yes, and we also eventually got the '50s. Golden era of our nation so far. And FDR was a non-monster as a human being who was at least sane. I'm not at all sure 'bowt 'bama. If we position ourselves as the alternative there will come a day, and maybe as early as 2010, when the people will beg to be saved from these bozos.

We need to fail to repeat the mistakes that Republicans made fighting FDR. Look at, for instance, the "Liberty League." We could loose 100 more seats in the house in two years. We could pick up 200 seats in a landslide born of remorse and righteous indignation. Which will it be. Probably neither. But we will decide our own destiny.

That’s what I said. He didn’t, he failed miserably and it cost us. Clinton kicked our asses worse than what’s going on tonight, and we got a Republican congress and president out of it, eventually. Obama’s win is narrow, though the EC will make it look worse, it doesn’t change the fact that he and the dems are still very vulnerable going forward.

And there it is. It is officially over. Darkness does indeed descend on us.

A sad time for America. Amazing just 20 years ago Ronald Reagan was handing off to George H. W. Bush; America was strong and generally united. Look how far we’ve fallen... to the point of electing a radical of a frighteningly shady past. A frightening time has commenced.

God have mercy on us.

Our enemies are salivating right now.

That is the exact sentence I said to my husband a few minutes ago.

So, how soon does Israel make their move toward Iran?

No, we care and you are not alone. We are with you in the fall until the day we can carry you and place you at the top of the hill where you shall sit and bask in the sun and feel the joy in the heart cradled closer to the Lord.

More than we.

Thank you for your service. We will not forget. Ever.

Signed,

I am going to lose everything. I am NOT wealthy, but my boss who started his business in his garage will not be able to keep up. My husband can only work seasonally. I hate the people in this country. They are STUPID
