i’ll mark those days with ya

[retrokitten]

G’nite, twin2!

It was nice to see you (even if the situation is, um...less then desirable).

[TXBlair]

I am so sorry that our country did not come through for you. My heart breaks with yours. Your service has not been in vain, please know. I do wish you good luck and Godspeed with your useless new boss. My prayers are with our military.

Just wait until some of these voters children and grandchildren are CONSCRIPTED into Obama’s Nat’l Civil Force.....THEN, maybe THEN, they will realize what has happened.

[Exit148]

I just can’t believe this! Please let me wake up from this dream.

With the huge turn-out today, I was certain that the
American public was coming out to vote against this dangerous man, this fraud. I sure was wrong.

He may be the president-elect (vomiting) but I dearly hope there are forces behind the scenes who are working to expose something about him that will take him down before 1/20.

The only saving grace it that the Senate will probably not get their filibuster, but it is little comfort.

But will I ever trust the American electorate again? No! And I will never put any faith in the media — who put this man where he is right now.

McCain is talking now (and — yes — he has to bear some of the blame) and he is talking about coming together and backing O. Well -— not me!

Time to take up post in front of the White House again?

[little jeremiah]

I’m back - it’s been a while. I’ll be a-pinging the lists with wag. This is really tearing at my heart. I didn’t that that many people were both stupid and evil, to support a demon - yes, a demon - like Obama. I thought that enough people would vote for McCain to make up for the voter fraud.

I think tomorrow will be a day of prayer and meditation for me.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I had hope after 2000 when we had the congress and senate and most states still seemed to lean GOP the voting issue would be fixed, instead it has grown worse and now ACORN owns the presidents office... and the fraud will only grow worse...

[Im4realamerica]

Ok, I'm new here, but feel as though I have been missing out on all you wonderful, intelligent people for a LONG TIME. On another note, does anyone know if President Bush can refuse to hand over the presidency to a candidate w/out any genuine documentation of their birth certificate?

[Gondring]

And to think, had McCain handled the stock market issue by naming names, something we were all screaming for him to do but he refused, he could still have won. Blaming “Wall Street greed” instead of Franklin Raines et all, cost him the election imo.

Yes. Properly done, it could have worked. Of course, he should have used the debates, too...the one chance he had to talk to the American people unfiltered by the MSM.

[Sans-Culotte]

We need to win the war of ideas...

Sorry, but you cannot win a war if both sides play by different rules. Remember Sean Connery in the film The Untouchables? "If Al Capone sends one of your men to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue! That's the Chicago way!"

Well, we just got a dose of the "Chicago way" from one of Chicago's finest.

[Marathoner]

Good. Then let me take this opportunity to say that over the next four years I pledge to be as fair to Obama as the leftists were to Bush. No, let me amend that. I'm going to be TWICE as fair. I only wished I owned a business so I could fire a Democrat.

I second that.

[goodnesswins]

I don’t think there is ANY requirement written into the Constitution about “genuine documentation” for the President....and, unfortunately, there probably never will be now....

[StarFan]

Has McCain conceded

He's doing it now with dignity and grace.

[higgmeister]

Palin won't run in 2012.

The GOP is about to go hard left. They will throw any lip service to the conservatives that still believe in them, and jump whole hog into socialism.

Palin, if she can, will go back to Alaska and face a tough couple of years and then retire into obscurity. There will be no 2012 run, there might not even be a Republican party by then.

I saw how the local GOP took the 2006 results and started to hate the base. I have seen people on this site turn against what we were supposed to be about and rail against conservatives. Now it will be worse.

God help us.

I agree.

In a few years the only debate will be what sort of shackles should be placed on the producers to force the farce to continue.

[TXBlair]

I don’t know the answer to that. But welcome to FR. We’re usually a lot more fun than this...

[Gondring]

IANAL, but I believe plaintiffs with standing must file lawsuits at this point.

[SoCalPol]

*Whatever path Mark takes I am with him.*

Count me in.

[Shelayne]

I can’t watch.

I am just heartsick. And there is NO way in Hades that I’m going to watch Obama’s spectacle.

In fact, I am through with the media. They have won. They forced this Marxist on the country I love. They didn’t do their jobs, and my children will be the “benefactors” of their wisdom. I am cancelling my cable. FOX, CNN, et al are dead to me. I will get my news online. My TV will be used basically for movies.

Yes, I am bitter and clinging to my Bible and my guns.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Now that he’s conceded defeat, I wish that John McCain would simply shut up and go away.
