That Obama is a dangerous fascist who is intent on obliterating the Constitution and dragging the USA into the tribalistic sociocultural morass of his ancestral homeland?

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Dear Brother,

We gotta be on Obama Watch from now on.

Coleman/Franken race within a couple thousand votes, oh man do we gotta pray on that race in my State.

[do the dhue]

I hear you and I stand ready.

A monster lies in wait for me
A stew of pain and misery
but fiercer still in life and limb
the me that lies in wait for him

I have new battles cries:

IMPEACH OBAMA!!

IT IS OBAMA’s FAULT!!

THIS ELECTION WAS STOLEN!!!!

OBAMA IS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!!!

Illinois is missing an idiot!!!!!

I remember what they said about Bush.

TODAY marks the beginning of payback time.

I went downtown to count votes at 7:00. Our whole team thought not only had we won Dayton, but OH, and probably---with turnout rates like that---indicated McCain would do very well. We were extremely excited.

In fact, our Republicans turned out at record levels . . . and voted Dem by 33%! Montgomery Co., which went for Kerry by 2 when he lost, went for Obama by 33!!

I don't know what you do when you turn out a deep red precinct at 80% and find out that 1/3 of the Republicans voted for the Dem.

[LowOiL]

I just woke up and found out the Presidential results. On the edge of crying.

Ditto my friend

[defconw]

Thanks Jonny. This “man” we havew elected is clueless. God help us all.

[DoughtyOne]

If you think McCain would have been a zero sum gain, I don’t think you’re paying attention. John’s record is very clear. And John’s politics would also have exposed us to grave danger.

John lost by at least 1.7 million votes in my state. I think you can rest assured, I didn’t cost John the election. John did.

[TheFourthMagi]

I characterized Obama, not your vote. I understand fully who and what McCain is, and have never been a fan of his in any measure.

His flip flopping on the right to life, his embrace of illegal immigration, his incredibly poor campaigning, his antipathy towards free speech, and a number of poor decisions all made him the wrong nominee from day one.

He apparently got in due to the Bob Dole "next in line" phenomenon, and also due to the false premise that someone like himself would draw "moderates" and "independents" along with the mythical "PUMAs".

I think “0” is America’s punishment for slavery.

[Jim Noble]

I think “0” is America’s punishment for slavery.

"...as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether"

[TheFourthMagi]

That is how Obama and his supporters view it.

[DoughtyOne]

Please excuse the tone of my post. I have been responding to folks who were aghast at my non-vote for McCain. I thought you were being somewhat cryptic utilizing truth regarding Obama.

I understand where you were coming from now.

I agree with your comments.

[geege]

Well I’m certainly not a supporter......just devestated and disgusted like everyone else......

[rodguy911]

I hate to admit you are sooo correct about the past but I have always been a tomorrow kind of guy.

We can and should learn from the past but dwelling,,,well it's not me.

My aim for tomorrow is to get rid of all the rinos,forget PC, rebuild a new conservative party with Sarah and others like her at the top and go from there.

I would still like to know where the hell Obozo was born and if it was Kenya I could put up with plugs far better than the ObummahMessiah.

[rodguy911]

Absolutely!

[redgolum]

Did you notice what happened after 2006? Have you been watching what many on this board have said of Palin?

The thinking will be that since the most liberal/marxists candidate in history won, the GOP has to go farther left and get rid of any remaining conservatives.

Listen to what the “elite” GOP people say about it today. Trust me it won't be that they need to run a more conservative candidate in four years. Look for someone left of Rudy.

[Guenevere]

If you’re talking about Axelrod, I immediately thought the same thing and remarked such to my husband.

[rodguy911]

Let em’ say whatever they want. This is still a conservative party and we need to purge the rinos from now on.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes. It was Axelrod. I was moved to create this animation when I
saw a photo of him the other day. Note the mustache.
