I think you’ll find that the Obama honeymoon will be very short indeed, including with the MSM.

I’m glad people are getting some of the fear, anguish and unhappiness out of their system tonight. That said, many of these thoughts are ridiculous. We are the most powerful and resilient nation on Earth. We will be fine, both as Americans and as the conservative movement.

The pendulum always swings in American politics. A third term for any party holding the White House after 8 years is rare. People innately seek change after 8 years of one party in the White House. We had Kennedy in 1960, Nixon in 1968, Carter in 1976, and Bush in 2000.

The RATS will overplay their hand and we’ll have the luxury of throwing political grenades for two years. We have substantive midterm gains to secure in 2010. Lets hold our heads high and get to work.

I don’t feel sorry for them, I hope the entitlement voters choke on their own avarice and laziness when their “benefits” aren’t forthcoming, either from the racist POS breaking his promises, or we the producers drying up the kitty by disengaging.

“There may be other things coming soon to turn our heads back to Him”

There are fools and liars (in position of authority and influence) as far as the eye can, their foolishness can not stand, it will be swept away. We must be mindful of what rises in it’s place.

RESISTANCE BEGINS WITH THE POWER OF ONE

Start your resistance cell today.

Start going to your local Republican Party meetings. STAND UP when the time comes to oppose Obama’s policies, DON’T just whine about them.

We (And by WE I mean Free Republic as a group) Did not use the power of organization that this site has shown in the past.

We will be demonized, shouted down, and called a “Hate-Site” by the brave Nazi’s that call themselves “New Democrats”, but we can take incoming fire, can’t we?

Makes me sick to think of Al Franken buying himself a Senate seat with $soros money, but....

He will turn the Sentate into a 3-ring circus. He is a powerful tool for rebuilding for 2010.

All those people with adjustable rate mortgages will be in for a shock, the housing market will never recover now. I cannot believe we are back to Volkernomics again.

Starting today it will be Obama’s War
Starting today it will be Obama’s Depression
____________________________________________________________

When Hussein pulls out all of our troops out of Iraq and the Iran rushes in, it will be Obama’s Defeat and the Democrats Defeat. When gas prices soar because of that instability in the Middle East, it will be their heads. EXCLUSIVELY.

When America gets attacked, it will be one THEIR watch. If NYC or LA or Miami gets nuked by a suitcase bomb, it will be THEIR heads. When energy costs and inflation skyrocket, it will be on THEM.

Enjoy your responsibility Dems! I know that that word is foreign to you since you tend to blame everyone else for problems. But at least for the next 2 years, whatever happens, it will be on YOU!!


Blame will not fall on them but on the past of Bush II, MSM will not allowed any blame to stick to the “O”.....

but he is going to kill people like us.....my hubby and I are not smart enough, devious enough, rich enough to have tax dodges.....we will get pinned to the wall....

You're not alone...I could be creative with my taxes, but don't because I don't like to play the odds with the IRS. But we are smarter than most of the liberals who have decent incomes, I'm sure of that. I know many of them...clipping coupons, shopping at discount stores...putting the work into being a savvy consumer...they consider that either beneath them or a waste of time. To me, it is called 'life'.

Where we could struggle for a good while under tough economic times, they will say 'ow' at the first pinch, that pinch being a brand-new car, an elaborate vacation or Gap clothes for the kids. And that 'ow' will be directed at the guy who was supposed to make everything all rosy.

I just got home after spending the evening with Republican friends. I sobbed during McCain's concession speech and am still in shock as I was so convinced he would win. It is after midnight and there is no dancing in the streets on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. In fact, it is silent. Thanks FRiends for being here. ;)

Think Rush will start up his “America held hostage” countdown again? It certainly would be appropriate.

I will toast to that.

Tony Snow would have reminded us to be a class act.

I will NEVER forget him going on Rush’s show and talking about amnesty. Even though I in no way agreed with him, I did respect him and his delivery of his perspective.

which reminds me, folks do not forget we the people beat back amnesty. That was with a a democrat majority and a president who wanted to have amnesty.

In two years every single house of representative must go through an election, we have a slew of senators who must face re-election, and we have time to organize JUST LIKE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.

“there will be a flood of truth coming out now that the Messiah has hoodwinked 51% of this once great nation.”

I’d be more concerned about what happens when that negro woman from the Orlando Obama rally finds out Obama WILL NOY be paying for gas, or for her mortgage, and that she has to give MORE of her money to the government...

What will the Dems do then??

OH YEAH....
Blame those evil Republicans and “Conservative Hate Radio”

Am I missing something? Just checked the CNN website and according to them Coleman has a 40,000 vote lead.
