First whole states close in 12 minutes.

“What will they do, oh Lord, what will they do?”

Turn on each other like jackals.

Thanks from me too JimRob. Free Republic made this nightmare of an evening as enjoyable as it could be under the circumstances.

It’s as though we’ve entered a kind of Twilight Zone where the old accepted virtues of honesty, courage, honor, truthfulness, living up to one’s word - mean absolutely nothing.

Cheating, lying, fraud, treason, the stab in the back, deceit - are now de regeur (sp?). They’re all fine, now, and anyone espousing or trying to live up to the virtues will be reviled as an anachronism.

[mrsmel]

I’m down for that too.

[longtermmemmory]

you did not read or understand.

you create a caucus INSIDE the party, you do not compromise you caucus.

[concerned about politics]

They will try to blame it on the R's but there won't be anyone to point to.

Exactly. EVERYTHING that happens from here on will be on the democrats watch.

Who is John Gault? Starve the beast!

Watch your dimes an nickles and the dollars will take care of themselves. Stop buying all that junk!!!

Obama’s Nat’l Civil Force.

As president (I won't capitalize president when referring to him), can he just make that happen?

[bray]

We lost and that is that. He is our President whether we like it or not. I will not be like the Rats and will support him until he can be defeated in the ballot box.

The good news is that sometimes you need to Restart your computer and now is time to Restart the Republican Party.

Pray for W, Obama and Our Troops

[mrsmel]

That too, but I especially want to find ways to keep from contributing to this government. I can live very simply, it doesn’t bother me a bit.

[goodnesswins]

Why NOT? He can make it seem like the “Peace Corp” and with the stroke of the pen....voila!

[micheknows]

[Cinnamontea]

I will not be like the Rats

Sorry, but not being like the Rats has gotten us where we are tonight.

[Taxachusan]

As president (I won't capitalize president when referring to him)

I won't be referring to him as "president" at all, it will be MISTER, just as the MSM et al have referred to President Bush for the past 8 years. And that's if I'm in a charitable mood.

[LostInBayport]

All of these people, and I mean all of these people worshiping this man are going to be very upset over the next 6 months.

If their lives aren't magically transformed into a land of dolphins and unicorns living happily ever after by June, Obama is going to be a dirty word.

He's set them up with promises upon promises. There has to be a proportional payoff, now. If the Treasury is empty, and inflation hits, what then, Barack?

[defconw]

I am still safe, but my small business owner boss is the one who will not be able to employ me.

[concerned about politics]

That too, but I especially want to find ways to keep from contributing to this government. I can live very simply, it doesn’t bother me a bit.

YES! The government feeds off Republicans. Stop buying junk. Starve that beast. Without revenue, they're nothing.

[mrsmel]

You’re my model, and that’s just the principle from which to operate. The more simple my life, the less entanglement with and contribution to, this government. If enough of us did this, it would matter.

[Teacher317]

Good gravy, maybe even Indiana will be in Obama’s column. What on earth is up with my world?!?

[Becki]

Hey, we handled a load tonight that would’ve smoked our old system and left it a smoldering puddle of melted iron.

FR is a LifeLine, Jim, and we really apreciate it and all you do. I turned off all media, and depended wholly on FR.

And it is going to be a critical piece in the future.

I think John Wayne put it best when JFK was elected in 1960: “I didn’t vote for him but he’s my president, and I hope he does a good job.”
