2008 General Election Live Thread

Poll Closing Times ^ | November 4, 2008 | xjcsa

First whole states close in 12 minutes.

[Darth Republican]

Now that the color barrier has been broken, the time has come for Republicans and Conservatives to start giving people like Gov. Sarah Palin, Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Lt. Gove Michael Steele a more prominent role in the party and in our future.

I still have faith in my country and our shared conservative beliefs.

But we have a lot of work to do ahead of us and we start tomorrow.

Goodbye to RINOs, goodbye to the Beltway and Manhattan elite, we hope you enjoyed your time in the GOP tent. We bid you adieu and farewell.

For now, I'll look forward to the work we will and must do to change the hearts and minds of our fellow Americans with this paraphrased movie quote:

Always hold in our hearts the pride of our special heritage. They can be a great people, if they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way.

We will provide that light.

God Bless America.

[Cinnamontea]

We deserve this.

WE? Speak for yourself. I'm sick to death of being dragged down by other people. "Tough love"? For what? Being faithful and voting for McCain?

[TXBlair]

Thanks, JimRob, for this forum. If we had to go through something so crappy tonight, at least we were able to go through it with FRiends.

[retrokitten]

I think I might go to school to be a pastry chef. We will need delicious pastries made by a chunky semi-comical chef to get us through.

[Marathoner]

On paper this means buh bye Bill and Hill........... ...you believe that ?

Hell, I wish Bill and Hill had a plan in place to fix that.

[StarFan]

Not sure but Colorado just went blue and Landrieu in LA won re-election. Still waiting on Coleman which is too close to call. They did very well in the house.

[concerned about politics]

Until we figure out a way to undermine them (msm), conservatism doesn;t stand a chance.

Target their sponsors. Money talks. STOP buying for at least the next 4 years. Do not buy that car! Republicans are the source of money in this country, because the democrats don't work.
Don't buy. Starve the beast.

[mrsmel]

I agree. What good has it done us to play by the rules when the ‘rats and America-haters play to win?

[Peter Horry]

I think we should let GOD decide when it is time for the rapture. Maybe we should pray for guidance.

[tioga]

Thanks, JimRob, for this forum. If we had to go through something so crappy tonight, at least we were able to go through it with FRiends.

Amen to that. I cannot tolerate Fox any more. FR is my last refuge.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Florida called for Obama. I lost semi-RINO Cong. Rick Keller to a Code Pink Democrat.

[tioga]

oh dear........a code pink dem? I am so sorry for you.

[Cinnamontea]

Starve the beast.

I love this as a slogan for the next four years.

[hercuroc]

Coleman and Franken are tied now with 46% in...and Murtha wins.

Pennsylvania is hopeless.

This whole mess reminds me of that Nine Inch Nails song

Bow down before the one you serve

You're going to get what you deserve.

[little jeremiah]

(There must be something wrong with my computer, I can’t get the FOX map to work; and it did work earlier...)

I was sorely disappointed when McCain won the candidacy. The GOP needs fighting spirit, true conservative vision, the willingness to speak it and not mealy mouth wishy washy ball-less spineless kumbaya crap.

The worst are full of passionate intensity, while the best have lost all conviction... while poetry is being recited.

[Daniel Ramsey]

Thanks for everything Jim, if you come to Alaska remember to steer clear of Anchorage, they are having a 24 hour orgy right now.

[conservativebabe]

My feeling is that if conservatives had stood up for what they believed all along, McCain would never had been the nominee in the first place.

Not that he isn’t a decent man but they thought he was the best chance to win.

clearly not

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Who wrote that poem? Thanks for posting it.

You're welcome. It was written ostensibly by a man named Nicholas Breton in the late sixteenth to early seventeenth century, and set to music by the great John Dowland.

[mrsmel]

It’s too bad that not enough of us are in a position to disengage from the economy as producers, and let the racist marxist figure out how to fund his bread and circuses. That’s one of my plans, to become self-sustaining, and contribute as little as possible to his gimme fund.

[yield 2 the right]

Hey God has a plan for them too, God will use them after the rapture(Left Behind)to bring untold numbers to HIM and use them to defeat all evil..........just do not take the Sign of the Beast upon ones self......I have always thought that God has a plan for all of US who praise HIM in their own way......dark and troubling times are ahead not just for USA but for the world....That is just my view and I mean no bad feelings at all......agree to disagree if you like...
