McCain: Americans Don’t Want Sore Loser

Yeah right, yes you would have chosen someone else other than Palin if you could redo this whole thing over again, anyone would. She was a disaster, still is, and it’s unbelievable that she actually thinks she can pull off a win in 2012! If that ever happens, you know this country is in trouble. I bet someone is gonna spend the next four years learning geography and where Africa is…

I voted for McCain because I felt he was the best choice to lead this country. McCain has the experience that Obama has no learned as yet and knows foreign policy well. When I was hearing Obama speaking on the platform I thought to myself that he has the sound of a dictator and I think I am right. Rep. Broun just said the identical statement and he feels that the same way I do. This young generation of college students are not aware of what is going to happen here because they are caught up in their own little world of drugs and booze as stated on the internet. But this country will get a good wake up call when it happens and it will happen. That is when they will be sorry they didn’t vote for McCain. Right now it is too late but four years from now it won’t be. I am patiently waiting for the downfall.

John McCain I just want to thank you for all of what you have done for this country. Don’t forget over 52 million Americans did vote for you and believe in you. I am a republican but you are right, history was made and lets give Obama a chance (never thought I would be saying that). There is only one John McCain in this country, a man who has been fighting for this country since he was 17 and now he is 72. For anyone reading this, can you say that? God Bless John McCain and America. Prayers are with Obama and I hope he does a good job.

Ok – my post was deleted, so I will try again…..
Rubyred – that was just plain rude. John McCain has done NOTHING to indicate that he is a sore loser. It is ignorant to accuse him of such a thing – especially on Veteran’s Day given what he has sacrificed. Maybe he should have said that Americans don’t want sore winners.

Make ya a deal?
I’ll stop bashing McCain, you stop bashing Obama – and for once maybe just being American will be good enough.
the election is over. time to kiss and make up everyone.

McCain is right no one wants to hear from a sore loser and I really feel John McCain is trying to be sincerely gracious about his loss. It’s over and now the work begins and I feel McCain will do the right thing when it comes to supporting our new President as he tries to put America back on track. McCain created some very ugly situations that could have gotten way out of hand during the campaign and I feel he regrets what was said. We are counting on him to be honorable.

McCain – Always putting Country First. Osama – Putting himself first. Blacks still for McCain!

Sure, ACORN voter fraud is swept under the carpet, Al Franken is reportedly trying to steal an election, and the Dems now want 100% support for their ill-won Marxist Socialist agenda? You gotta be kidding.

I think McCain is being a gracious loser. Though I didn’t vote for him, I respected and liked McCain – at least the 2000 version. Now is a time for healing and moving forward. The fact is that Obama won by well over 8 million votes – and there was a reason. I had to laugh at the writer who wrote about Obama seeming like a dictator. Especially after we have had the most oppressive, repressive, narrow-minded, arrogant Presidency of my lifetime. Obama is a welcome breath of fresh air.

My father voted for Nixon, but ended up likeing JFK. So stranger things have happened. It’s all up to Obama now.

a and c both got edited.
a. Huckabee strongly dislikes Romney
c. Huckabee strongly dislikes Mormons

Ahhhh…McCain talks/stutters/evades answers JUST LIKE BUSH. Am so happy he wasn’t elected president. That said, we have to get on with the business of “fixing” the mess this country is in thanks to our moron outgoing president and his nut case VP Cheney. GOOD RIDDANCE TO THEM!

McCain was the true winner, as he was honest. Obama made empty promises, free money for those that don’t pay taxes, something for nonthing.
Obama has about 15 lawsuits regarding his alleged natural-born citizenship. He has spent millions fighting these lawsuits and has yet to show his 1961 original birth certificate! He has failed to address his Indonesian citizenship status.
The Supreme Court is now addressing Obama’s alleged citizenship.

Mariann every post of yours is nasty and degrading to our young generation. And I am sick of reading something you obviously know nothing about. And please don’t forget this young generation is dying in our wars to keep you safe. You owe this young generation, the future of our country, an apology.

Mariann Pepitone, I think it’s you who needs to get out of your own “little world of drugs and booze as stated on the internet”. So much for “Country First”, right? Because isn’t getting behind the president, no matter who he or she is, putting your country first? No, your comments prove what hypocrites and liars you really are. I encourage you to keep it up though, because it’s sentiment like that which will guarantee that the Republican Party will darken our doors nevermore. Good day to you, fascist bigot.

All of your Republicans who want President elect Obama to fail are neglecting the reality that if he fails, the whole bloody country fails….Democrats, Republicans and Independents. If thats what you want, we’ll all be down the toilet! He’s the President elected by a clear majority by the popular vote and the electoral vote. Its time for the Repubs to get over it!

At least Senator McCain is a naturl born citizen.
Obama has never demonstrated his natural born citizenship papers. How can we trust him? The courts are looking into Obama’s citizenship, or lack of…

Patriot: The Reagan revolution ran out of gas. The Christian-Business-ReaganDemocrat coalition fell apart. I think Romney would have been a better choise, but that’s politics. It just wasn’t meant to be. Romney will still be here for 2012. Bush and the economic situation was just too toxic for any Republican to overcome, in my opinion.

It would be pretty difficult for someone with an honorable reputation, such as McCain, to run with what has become a very narrow republican party. When you start calling people RINOs (Republican in Name Only), you better be prepared for the backlash. The tarnishing of their brand image was due for a long time.

I’d planned on not rubbing it in… but after seeing all of the pathetic loser posts out there, by people that are STILL bashing Obama… here it is: AMERICA HAS SPOKEN – IT’S TIME TO MOVE ON, STOP CRYING ABOUT IT and please find it in your hearts to both pray for Obama, that he does right by us all, and to acknowledge the historical moment that his election is for our country.

If the justice system finds Obama not qualified to be president because of his lack of natural-born citizenship. This “Obama deception” will ruin the denocrats for the next generation.
If Obama is not a citizen and is ruled unqualified, will McCain win by default?

McCain has been gracious and sensible and temperate in his post-election attitude. The question I think is how he let himself slip so badly during the campaign, and this is something I guess Leno didn’t ask him about. You can see some of the reason right here, I guess – these wack jobs that talk about Obama being a dictator and so on. They “just know” it even though anyone like McCain who understands politics and people knows that this was just another American election, not “the last election ever”, and can see that the winner, though liberal, is a decent, focussed, and very capable man. Where the real foaming-at-the-mouth paranoia comes from I don’t really know, but it was part of McCain’s constituency, and he had to speak to it and represent it, even though that meant telling some wacky and vicious lies. I’d be interested to hear his take on all this, if he ever speaks honestly about it.

Turner: Let it go. All politicans lie, even Obama and Biden and JFK. That’s just politics. Obama is president now.

jay we wish him the best and sincerely hope bo makes us all proud!!!!! unlike liberals it is country first and not blind idealogy and unadulterated hatred that drives loyal Americans….i do not believe in sabotage like that has been conducted in this country the last 6 years……..

Good Question!
Why is Obama and the DNC fighting all the lawsuits regarding his citizenship. Obama refused to show his original certificate of live birth, refused to address his Indonesia citizenship, refused to address his Kenya citizenship and refused to show his alleged hospital birth records in Hawaii.
What is Obama hiding, ??????????????

richard bonilla —- Didn’t you hear what John McCain said? Don’t be a poor loser!

test

Obama is an illegal immigrant

“Obama = Baby Killer”, said Ted
Well Ted, losers are people who never learn from their mistakes. Why did the Republicans get trounced in 2008 ? Because they focused on religious points (i.e. anti abortion and anti gay rights) which are totally irrelevant to Americans faced by loss of their jobs and livelihood.
Keep chanting your anti-abortion and anti-gay-rights mantra, and the Republicans will be condemned to oblivion.

Brooke — Didn’t hear what McCain said. Stop being a sore loser.

Leo:
I’m sorry but God will always come out first. I will pray for you as it appears you need it. Look at your quarter in your pocket that Obama is about to give to some welfare hoodlum instead of you and tell me what it says. In God We Trust? Sounds like you are living in the wrong country Leonardo. You might want to consider a move to Indonesia as Obama did or Iran or somewhere you can fit in. Maybe speak to Hamas with no pre-conditions and they can help you out? Just some suggestions as it sounds like you need a lot of help.
God be with Obama and out country in these next 4 years and God Bless our Hero John McCain

OIFVetForMcCain — Didn’t hear what McCain said. Stop being a sore loser. And you DO sound like one, don’t deny it.

Patriot : yeah, I agree with you that Romney would have been a better pick – both as the Presidential, or as the Vice Presidential Candidate.
Why did he lose ? Regret to point the obvious to you : because he is a Mormon, and the Republican party is now dominated by religious fanatics who can’t accept a different shade of Christianity.
Unless Republicans kick out these Christian fundamentalists, the party will keep focusing on abortion and gay rights, and couldn’t care less about the day-to-day problems that common Americans face.
The US of A has turned a big budget surplus (under Clinton) into a massive budget deficit under Bush. The party that call people names such as “socialists”, thinking that such labels would horrify voters, is actually the biggest socialists on earth as even China and Russia did not spend US$700bn nationalising their insurers, banks and stockbrokers !

Turner you are an idiot. Just like the rest of you that voted for Obama. Why would anyone want a lawyer as anything expecialy a President.

Everyone remember the last time we had a democrat President, getting his thing sucked in the Oval office committing adultery and got impeached. I can’t wait to see what will happen with this one! Democrats in office are like a time bomb, give them enough time and something is going to blow up. Hopefully it won’t our country under the administration of Osama (I mean Obama, the only difference if BS)

Busta posted “Democrats in office are like a time bomb, give them enough time and something is going to blow up. ” Yeah, I can’t think of ONE Republican who ever got caught up in a sex scandal. Not ONE. 2,3,4,5,…20,30,40 – yes, but not one. Now do you have a point at all or are you just going to be a sore LOSER.

I’m glad mccain can act civil now that he’s lost. He acts like a better candidate now then when he was running. American’s don’t like a two-faced jerk either, john. Why don’t you spend a few weeks working on that image, too, while you’re doing your little political face lift work….

“I’m sorry but God will always come out first,” said Ted.
There is no need in this debate to associate God with any particular candidates, but since you did Ted, let me point out the hard truth : if you associate John McCain with God, and Obama with anti-Christ, then obviously God came second last week !
Again : keep chanting your anti-abortion and anti-gay-rights mantra, and the Republicans will be condemned to oblivion.
So if you are happy for the Republicans to stay irrelevant to the rest of America, then keep regaling us with your religious fervour. Good for ya !

Sammy boy:
I am no sore loser. I am happy for the country as we made history even though this president doesn’t have any idea and experience on what he’s doing. I will pray for him on a regular basis and hope things go well. But lets look at the record here. What did the last democrat do? Sinful, Deceitful, and IMPEACHED. I don’t care if you tire blows out and you blame it on Bush, did he get impeached? I’ll teach you a little something….NO

You know, Senator McCain says he’s satisfied w/ how his campaign was run, says he wouldn’t change anything, and he doesn’t have anything disparaging to say about anyone involved in his campaign – why can’t people accept that? I voted Obama, but I don’t understand the vehemence so many people seem to try to be getting McCain to feel or express. What is wrong w/ letting the man accept that his campaign lost and moving on from there? He doesn’t need to feel bitter about it – there seems to be plenty of folks out there that feel it for him, and really, where is that going to get any of you? I was furious when Bush won the 2nd time, let alone how he got into office the first time, but the man’s been the president for 8 years and griping about it the entire time got no one anywhere. His approval ratings are the lowest they’ve ever been – and what has that changed as far as his policies and the will of the people influencing the direction of the country, or his tenure? No change, no effect, he’s still in the office. Same w/ Obama – he’s going to be the president, and sitting around waiting for some sort of disaster (beisdes this financial crisis) to happen and then sitting around to see how he handles it isn’t going to get any of us anywhere. If another disaster happens of any sort, we will influence this country most by being Americans and all reacting to it – all taking a part and all responding as best we can; just like we did when it was 9/11 and the fact that Bush sat stunned and frozen in that elementary school class didn’t stop any of us from doing what we felt needed to be done. We donated, we volunteered, we supported each other in all the ways we could and saved the complaints for later when we could actually breathe a bit and think about things.
I’d venture to say everyone, regardless of how we all voted, wants a better America than we have right now – we have to accept we’re not going to get everything we each want individually, but the big things that we all want are only going to come w/ all of our support and attention – so lets give it. And if some of that effort is complaining to Obama about his choices or policies, then go ahead – he’s asked you for that commentary so give it to him. Bush wouldn’t even accept that – he’d make any dissenters stand and yell so far away they’d only be heard by cows and passing crows.
So let Senator McCain be the gracious, classy man he’s trying to be and stop trying to get some bitter misgivings out of him; let Senator Obama be president and do what you can to support our country rather than weep and moan about who wasn’t elected and how you’re waiting to get even. Part of that highly valued American Spirit is owning what’s ours to influence and how we did it – good and bad; owning it, not whining about it, not bragging about it. Now that the election is over, we’re not republicans and democrats anymore – we’re Americans. When election time comes back around again we can go back to our parties and recommence the philosophical bashings – but no matter how 2012 ends, we’ll still be Americans again and need to go about the business of being Americans.

To Robert J. and all those others here who are still harping on Obama’s Birth Certificate:
Where have you people been? The Berg lawsuit in Pennsylvania was dismissed by the JUDGE because it had NO MERIT!!! Because Obama was indeed born in Hawaii…haven’t you been reading? His birth certificate was made available almost TWO YEARS AGO.

Now Busta – do you REALLY want to compare the sins of Clinton to the sins of Bush. Iraq, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis DEAD, 5000+ Americans DEAD. Yes he wasn’t impeached, probably because the dems didn’t have the majority the the repubs had during Clinton, but Bush has done more HARM to this country than Clinton ever did. And I don’t care if you think Bush can walk on water and NEVER do anything wrong. There are many people on this planet who think Bush should be brought up in front of an international tribunal for war crimes.

check out snopes or factcheck regarding obama’s citizenship status. it is not an issue. his birth certificate is easily found online…….. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn227/Polarik/BO_Birth_Certificate.jpg

Enough already!! It’s time for these two wackos to go away..

Don’t feel sorry for him. He pals around with multi-millionaire lobbyists who gorge at the trough of money we call the United States Treasury.

Please send Sarah Palin the Memo… We can’t get the bimbo to shup up!

Too little, too late

all of a sudden it’s play nice and get along?… you know, i’m sick of mean bully attacks from the republicans… obama only talked policy and NEVER reduced himself to the low level hate inciting karl rove campaign that mccain and palin basked in…. if obama lost, he could hold his head high, but mccain and palin acted like scumbags… as did joe lieberman… lying and bullying their way… of course one of the lessons america hopes the right wing learns is that the negativity doesn’t work any more… every hear of the story of the boy who cried wolf?… of course the democrats will be positive and work with the republicans but make no doubt about it, you don’t treat people like crap and then say it’s all ‘politics’… with obama, we have a new ideology of how it is to win a campaign by taking the HIGH road… and the sooner the republicans stop the hate, the better the country will be for it

Holy crud… and I thought the loonies and whack jobs would go hide under a rock after America overwhelmingly chose the candidate that did not fill Americans with a jingoistic hatred and an unfounded fear.
Peeps… Obama in not the Anti-christ. He is not American’s downfall, he is not a commie, marxist, scoailist, radical Christian, muslim, terrorist, bably killer or foreign born. America didn’t believe your lies and propaganda before the election. What chance have you now?
Pathetic.

McCain 2016? It’s still possible.

1. THERE NEEDS TO BE MAJOR SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE.
2. THE ELECTION IS OVER. MCCAIN IS BEING GRACIOUS, LOOKING FORWARD. EVERYONE NEEDS TO GROW UP AND DO THE SAME.
3. WOULD HAVE, SHOULD HAVE, COULD HAVE. SOUND FAMILIAR? WELL WAKE UP. MCCAIN/PALIN, THAT WAS THE TICKET. OVER, END OF STORY. MOVE ON.
4. TRY TO BE POSITIVE, IT REALLY DOES NOT HURT. USE YOUR ENERGY TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP THIS COUNTRY.
5. NO MORE RACIST REMARKS.
6. RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TYPE YOUR BLOG AND SHOW YOUR IGNORANCE.
MR. MCCAIN IS A WAR HERO. SUPPORT HIM AND LET HIM GO BACK TO WORK FOR THE COUNTRY. GIVE THE NEW ADMINISTRATION A REAL CHANCE, THEY MIGHT PLEASANTLY SURPRISE YOU.
HAVE A NICE EVENING.

Birth Certificate? Do some research, people. There is no controversy.
Obama posted his birth cert. back in June. It’s been examined by all kinds of officials, verified by the state of Hawaii. FactCheck dot org has a good write-up on the subject, in which they go to his campaign office to examine and test it personally.
This fake controversy is a lie promoted by right-wing wingnut media. The same ones who tell you he’s an Arab (pronounced “uh Aye-rab”), that he’s a one-man terrorist sleeper cell intent on destroying the gov’t, a radical communist intent on making the gov’t, so powerful it oppresses the American people, and also, just to be certain, the Anti-Christ.
Listen, I know that right-wing blogger or talk show host told you that anyone who disagrees is just part of the Big Conspiracy. But the reason the “Mainstream Media” didn’t report any of this is because it’s all complete BS. They do journalism, not wingnut propaganda.
Here’s how you know the right-wing wingnuts the ones who are lying: The Republican party was *desperate* to win this election. If there was even a shred of evidence to these claims, they would have used it to stop Obama’s campaign in the courts. For instance, if they could have even gotten a court to *consider* the question of Obama’s citizenship, that would have been a huge win for them. But there was never any chance – the accusations are all complete fabrications. Why did McCain (to his credit) never bring any of this up as issues? Is even McCain part of the imaginary Big Conspiracy against McCain?
Please go educate yourselves and stop troubling the rest of us with long-disproved lies.

I wonder if Obama would be as gracious in defeat as McCain has been? No, he would be pulling out the race card and using his leftist illuminati rhetoric to cloud the real issues.

I wonder if Bush would be as gracious in defeat as McCain has been? No, he would be pulling out the my daddy was the president card and using his right wing Karl Rove illuminati rhetoric to cloud the real issues. Ha ha ha

Those lies about Obama, by the way, all follow an obvious pattern. It’s about the fact that Obama is partly black. They couldn’t come right out and say racist things. So they played on the feelings that racism would bring up.
For instance:
Obama isn’t a Real American. [ Only white people can be Real Americans ]
Obama is an Arab; and you can’t trust Arabs [ just substituting Arab for black ]
Obama is a shady character that we can’t trust [ shady = black, in this case ]
The list goes on and on.

Senator McCain, You did not have my vote…partially because of Palin (although I’m a woman)–she doesn’t have Foreign Affairs experience–this bothered me; and, partly because I don’t agree with your Republican views… .
However, I do “Thank You” for your service to our country. My brother fought along side during the Vietnam conflict. You’re the American Hero; he’s my family’s Hero– (resides in Houston, TX – if you ever want to stop by and shake hands)…I believe he voted for you (I am a life long Demo.).
My brother and I agree, to disagree.
To all the VETERANS, “THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE”. And, “Siempre Fidelis” to my brother– Also, “Happy B.D. U.S.M.C.”.

Fairly pathetic article – a series of immature little jabs at someone. Professional comedians repeat material. How McCain actually doing it makes news I don’t know. And why is this in the Political Radar section? Gosh Bret Hovell – I wonder if you voted Democrat!

God Bless John Mccain on this Veteran’s Day. And thank you, to all veterans who served and are serving our country.
mr. mccain has been gracious in defeat and has called upon his supporters to unite behind pres elect obama.

Brad: Let me go on record to remind you that the RNC invited her to be thei guest speaker on Wednesday and on Thursday she will be speaking elsewhere. Also in case you havent’ heard Barbara Walters and Larry King want to interview her. Oprah wants her on the show. And that line will be long. There won’t be enough seating if she appears.

SamTyler: I think I have been reading too much trash about the democrats. And it won’t be long before they will be licking their wounds. Then its time for the republican’s to get a good laugh at your voters. Its coming because Obama is starting his dectating already. You haven’t seen anything yet. But don’t get mad, get glad like us.

Sounds more like the McCain I used to respect. Might have won the election is this more reasonable, calm person was what we saw. Instead we saw a raving fear monger, and I think America is just not in the mood for it.

McCain clearly deserved to lose. Romney should have been the republican candidate – no connection to Bush, good on the economy, great on the auto industry and saving dying companies.
Thanks to Huckabee and the ineptness of the republicans we did not get Romney as a choice.
We need a third party – OK we also need term limits so that these corrupt politicians like Stevens do not get their hooks in.

Thank you McCain for being a gracious loser!!!!

Bill Clinton needs to learn a thing or two from John McCain.

What is it called when the government owns the banks? What is is called when the government spies on its own people? What is it called when the government jails people without warrant or trial? What is it called when wars are started on lies? It is called the Bush administration

John: My dad was a WW2 Navy vet. Aviation mechanic. Didn’t much trust high falutin’ talk or officers. But Obama may yet move to the center and turn out to be better we expect. I’m willing to give him the chance. But it’s all up to Obama now.

deepdiver: Obama didn’t pal around with Ayers but he is a close friend of his. Ayers donated money to his first and second campaign for the senate and had dinner at his house various times. He lives around the corner from Ayers and Ayers lives next door to Farrakhan. However, Obama won the senate seat the second time he campaigned and didn’t have time for Ayers because he was busy in Washington. But they both were on the Acorn board together and Obama gave Acorn $880,000 of his campaign money. He also gave someone $90 million of his campaign money. The friendship never ended but Obama went on his own way. Obama also worked in Rezko’s law firm and was his attorney prior to his senate seat. Rezko helped him buy his mansion and the lot next door until Rezko was eventually arrested. Obama had nothing to do with Rezko’s dealings. I didn’t vote for Obama but there are rights and wrongs in telling stories therefore no, Obama did not pal with Ayer’s.

McCain’s maturity is exemplified in his good sportsmanship. He’s a good egg, and I would have entrusted my safety as an American citizen to the wisdom of his leadership.

Reaganomics is flawed, corporate-enrichment ideology, pentagon welfare have benefited the rich and even now as speak, they are getting rich. Deregulations means to steal and rob the citizens of their work,of their saving, etc. Finally “America” is woke up from this nightmare.
Mr. McCain I have great respect for him, during election he was handled poorly by his campaign adviser, his concession speech speak volume about this national Hero, though I have voted Obama, but I respect Mr. McCain but not Mr. Lieberman, he is a idiot…

All I have to say is…this is the same kind of garbage thrown around on ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC & CNN news blog and it got no one anywhere. For those of us who have a moral compass and are not gazing, starry-eyed at pres. elect obama, there is no talking to these people who voted this guy into office. Are we happy with Bush, NO! Were we super happy with McCain as the RNC’s choice for us this time..Not really! We sure didn’t want to blindly walk into the voting booth and vote for someone we didn’t know if we could trust. It was a chance to make history..period! Bush has had his hands tied with the democratic congress over the past few years. Iraq war a bad choice…you better believe it!! All I have to say to those who voted for McCain and feel like their voice wasn’t heard…just wait. What goes around, comes around. It always happens! Then, we can always come back and say “I didn’t vote him in..you did!”

PS Alright kiddies, remember we share the same playground.

Rubyred:
You are incorrect in stating that Obama is the persident-elect. At this time we have no president-elect. We have to wait for the Electoral College vote on December 15. But that is just a legal technicality so it won’t matter to you. A bombing here & there, some illegal real estate transactions, voter fraud, illegal political donations from off shore terrorists. Those are all just legal technicalities.

I’m trying to figure out why all the democrats or others who voted for (the new messiah) are in here defending him and their choice, that’s what this is really all about. He won already….go have fun and celebrate it! You must be really, really bitter to be on here bashing Bush, Palin and (oh, I love it) how stupid she is. Can anyone get a new line? I kind of think you haven’t gotten as far as she has or you wouldn’t be here yacking on and on about it. She went back to Alaska…are you not yet happy? What do you want? She made some mistakes, but I defy you to have been in the same position with the networks snapping at your heals and all entrenched with the obama camp. For the women out there who put her down…just so you know..you’re putting yourself down and it doesn’t help any of us. For the men who have to put her down, she’s a strong woman and lets face it, some of you can’t handle that at all! Rock on Sarah!

“Mr. McCain I have great respect for him, during election he was handled poorly by his campaign adviser, his concession speech speak volume about this national Hero, though I have voted Obama, but I respect Mr. McCain but not Mr. Lieberman, he is a idiot…”
I will have to agree with you there, Ed. Unfortunately, foresight was not given to McCain to see that. Now the same “aides” are trying to save their caeers by blaming their own candidates instead of taking responsibility for their blunders.

Mr. Independent: I give you credit for speaking the truth and rubyred knows the truth but he doesn’t want to accept it. He believes that Obama is the Messiah and he is going to walk on the water. I’m with you. There was voter fraud in 15 states and that was to make sure Obama won. That’s why he gave Acorn $880,000 and another person $90 million of his campaign money as stated on television. I felt sorry for Hillary because Dean took some of her delegates from MI and FL giving them to Obama and Nancy made deals with the superdelegates to switch their votes to Obama so he would win the nomination. Nancy feared Hillary because she wouldn’t let her have her own way. That’s the democrats for you. Always underhanded.

“Are we happy with Bush, NO!”———- but then you turn around and vote for the guy who stood next to him lock, stock, and barrel for 8 years___________________ “We sure didn’t want to blindly walk into the voting booth and vote for someone we didn’t know if we could trust.———— and for sure the only thing we could trust with McCain was that there would be more war and more corporate welfare. We just had 8 years of that and where did it get us?___________________ “Bush has had his hands tied with the democratic congress over the past few years. Iraq war a bad choice…you better believe it!!”——– Which was a choice made during the frugal years of total and ultimate Repuglican control. John McCain supported this war but you didn’t hold him accountable when you voted. Why, if it was such a bad choice? And I guess the entire mess this country is in happened in the last 2 years of the Bush administration when the Democrats took back control? If the thugs had did such a good job for the prior 6 then why did they lose control in the first place? Do you people ever step back and listen to yourselves?

“Do you people ever step back and listen to yourselves?”
HAHAHA skippymac, it wouldn’t matter if they did, they think everything they say is gospel.

Mariann, yu haven’t answered me, but I would like to address your concerns with ACORN. McCain gave them money as well, and he has been seen “palling around” with a woman at a meeting in California, I believe, that was convicted of killing someone associated with an abortion clinic, this same woman showing no remorse. Whatever you think of abortions (I thinkk they are wrong)this lady is still a terrorist too.

Ted: I notice that God is mentioned four times in your post, along with “welfare hoodlums.” I am so curious as to why Republicans claim to be the party of Christian values, yet scream “Socialism!” in opposition to helping the poor. How many times does the Bible instruct us to help those less fortunate? On the other hand, I don’t believe it mentions gay marriage at all. It does, however, state that we should not judge one another, many times. And for those making over $200,000 who are complaining about a tax increase, are you familiar with what the good book says about a camel going through the eye of a needle?

dl: Country first stayed with McCain because Obama puts himself first, country last or aren’t you aware of that fact. I don’t think your well aware of what is going on you say whatever comes out of your mouth which is nothing. Obama is not for this country he is for making rules and regulations but its people like you that are blinded to the fact of it.

I’M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ORIGIN OF THE TRUST ISSUE WITH OBAMA THAT RUBYRED REP. REFERS TO.THAT SEEMS TO BE CODE TALK FOR SOMETHING UNSPOKEN. ONCE AGAIN, IT SOUNDS LIKE HANNITY BRAIN WASHING. WHAT CAN YOU POINT TO THAT MAKES HIM UNWORTHY OF TRUST? DID YOU TRUST BUSH WHEN HE TOLD YOU SADAM HUSSEIN HAD WMDS? DID YOU TRUST REAGAN WHEN HE WAS SELLING ARMS TO THE CONTRAS? WHY ARE THE TRUST STANDARDS FOR OBAMA SKY HIGH YET FLEXIBLE AND DOWN TO EARTH FOR WHITE LEADERS EVEN WHEN THEY ARE CAUGHT IN OBVIOUS LIES?

The way I see it, I don’t understand why Republicans are turning against Palin. If I remember correctly, the average daily tracking polls showed McCain trailing Obama everyday from mid April 2008 until the RNC convention. His poll numbers jumped ahead of Obama’s only after he chose Palin. The polling data can still be checked at Realclearpolitics website. Then disaster struck with the stock market crash in September/October. At first, I thought McCain did the right thing to suspend his campaign. In hindsight though, I now realized that he panicked. He got to DC but actually not helping much. People realized that it was just all for show. He was not even in the center of the bailout negotiations. His face was not seen during the numerous press conferences with the congressional leaders from both sides as bailout negotiations were going on. It would have made a lot of difference if he had been in the thick of the negotiations and showing his leadership. Instead, as somebody said on TV, McCain looked more like a deer caught in a headlight — not knowing what to do. From then onwards, his campaign was downhill. Palin delivered her part during the convention and during the VP debate. But McCain was not sharp at all in all his debates with Obama. As the pundits said, he never dealt any crushing blows. The financial crisis was not entirely Republican’s fault. Most of the blame can be placed on the Democrats tracing all the way back to Clinton’s administration. But McCain could not explain to the people the problems with the economy and was flipflopping around — even suggesting out of the blue during the last debate that he would bail out those people with mortgage problems, to the surprise of everyone and against Conservative beliefs. Palin energized the base and those who would otherwise not have bothered going to the polls. The persistent media attacks on Palin also did a lot of damage. But the last straw was the financial crisis. In 20/20 hindsight, if that financial crisis had been averted, or at least delayed just a few months (by bailing out Lehman Brothers–you can blame Bush, the Fed and the Treasury Sec Paulson for that), I think McCain could have been the president-elect.
So, it is not fair to blame Palin. McCain was destined to lose.

Personally, I can’t wait for Palin to come back in 2012.
She’ll get her shopping out of the way BEFORE the election, take some geography lessons, learn French and get a face lift.
She’ll be unstoppable.
American’s won’t fall for an intellectual president two times in a row.
They want a dummy and she’s it!

I am very sad to read how Americans here would talk trash to their leaders.President elect Obama was not choosen by you all but by the Lord Almighty as a messiah of our time. Regardless of anyones believe, the young man will lead this great nation to the promise land.John Maccain is a bitter old man and whether he support Obama or not, the angels from above will support him to carry out his responsibilities as the president of the world.I know the clour of his skin has a great effect when it comes to beiing accepted by all, but remember Jesus is a black man from African/ American generation and there is nothing anyone can do about that.God is the only want to decide a good leader for a country thorn apart by guy men and women and Obama is accepted all over the world and god will send His guiding angels to protect and direct his decisions in the next four years.

People, pettiness about personality isn’t the issue. If it were, the candidates would be appalled by the representation they receive on these blogs. The personalities of both candidates appeal to different preferences. But, ideology is where the relevant difference lies. Relevance and relativity in these times have been redefined, and watered down. All things are not relevant, and all things are not relative!! One four year term is not equivalent to a quantum leap for mankind. No presidential candidates is the imaginary Dr. Becket. The planetary plan of a finite man has never built a lasting utopia.

Senator John Sidney McCain appeared to act graciously on defeat.
Moreover, he needs to get back to work. And work on behalf of the taxpayers who pay his salary…and who elected him. As a returning Veteran it is hopeful he will now vote properly on those important issues concerning ALL VETERANS.
Furthermore all USA citizens WHO TRULY BELIEVE IN COUNTRY..need to work along with President – elect Barack Obama. It is the only way that America will once again become strong…return as a World Leader…and regain its class as a proud and beautiful AMERICAN SPIRIT.
It is also way past the time of Religion and State. Religion has no place in State Politics.

Obama is still a radical racist just like Jeremiah Wright.

“Obama is still a radical racist just like Jeremiah Wright.”————————————- Then I guess all Catholics are pedophiles like their priests.

mccain emerged as a cantankerous old man in the first debate and never shook the image but became worse. as his numbers and supporters dropped, he added on the image of a sore loser. to this day, he still supports palin who no one supported except the republican base of religious right wingnuts, hard core pro-gun types, the elderly, and the high school graduates and below. many other republicans went to obama with financial support and their vote which was a vote against palin first, then mccain. mccain could never have put the country first when he selected palin. cindy could have spent some of her 100 million to do an infomercial for mccain but that didn’t happen which spoke volumes.

also. mccain had to make nice in his concession speech after all the awful, terrible things he and palin said publicly about obama. mccain knew he had to go back to the senate and a sea of democrats including the new president. mccain knew he best make nice because many don’t get mad, they just get even. mccain should retire now that he has lost and been humiliated by obama’s landslide victory. a victory that mccain, mostly, with palin’s help, a great deal, handed to obama on a silver platter.

On Jay Leno tonight, McCain said, “Victory has many fathers, failure has one orphan”. Failure, doesn’t define a person’s character and ideals as illegitimate. Likewise, nor does popularity and success define the future. Vain speculation and mere conjecture are dangerously slanderous. The true measure of a man is not his popularity. McCain deserves honor and respect from the American people for what he did for us. To show him disrespect on Veteran’s Day, or any other day, is to show disrespect for America. He told the story tonight of his P.O.W. partner who made a bamboo needle and sowed some scraps from a shirt to make a flag while is prison. If someone who is being beaten for being an American can do this, why can’t we who are free choose to knit ourselves together in supporting the principle values that so many veterans make personal sacrifices for?

Most under appriciated politician in a wrong party. I have a great respect for yhe senetor. thank you for all that you have done for USA>

Some of the comments about Obama are downright racist and ABC shouldn’t allow that crap on their sight i,e
(This is a victory for the GOP. In 4 years we will have it made. If 10 can’t run a Popeye’s how can 1 run the WHITE house?)
I know you are angry that this country will no longer be ran by a small group of white men but get over it! “Obama is the antichrist, obama is obsama”, bla bla bla. I put up with Bush’s reign for 8 YEARS! Why? Because he won, well the supreme court said he won. Either way, that’s what you do in a democracy. You support the winner and move on. It’s funny that conservatives are fighting for “democracy” to be spread accross the globe but they don’t even want it in America.

vuzous – Reagan’s economics didn’t work? The why did my husband and I have more money during Reagan’s Presidency than we have since that time. Every time a Democrat gets into office, we are almost broke by the time he’s out of office. Then a Republican gets into office & we get “comfortable” again. And we are by no means rich. We are just two working people.

mariannepepitone:….Your attitude is not in line with the man you voted for…standing behind our new president is crucial because of the state this country is in…if you want to talk about a dictator–Bush is a great example. His ego led us to an unjustified war with Iraq, an economy headed for a depression and countless other decisions made by a man that was ignorant and not confident enough to surround himself with experts in the field. PLEEEZE stop the divisiveness. It doesn’t help anyone.

Obama is a jumped up charlatan — Jimmy Carter II. Its going to be a rocky four years. History is repeating itself but the democrats are too stupid to know.
You have to call a spade a spade… oh sorry… its not politcally correct to say that anymore now that we have a black president. I mean half black.

ellsbells,
What Kenyan birth records are you talking about? Obama was born in Honolulu.

=======================================
Well no one likes a sore winner either!
OBama has been the smuggest pres elect ever! He even had “Office of the President Elect” signs made up! **EGO**
Homeboy is still putting down Current President Bush and had the nerve to leak details of their private meeting.
Smug/Sore Winner reaches across the aisle at his first press conference and insults the 90 year old widow of one of the most beloved presidents in history. That thug!
There are sore losers like those who make up stories about Governor Palin.
And there are sore winners who don’t even know the definition of grace like Barack Hussein Obama.
========================================

===============================
OK Susan-1, you don’t like the truth about your egomaniac, so you attack me. Typical.
You want us all to fall in line lock step with your messiah, yet you STILL sit here and attack President Bush!!! You’re a hypocrit!
======================================

I’ve quoted it before, and in this context it will be the last time …………”Ask not what your country can do for you (to which Obama responded by promising everything to everybody), ask what you can do for your country (which McCain repeatedly did by asking us to serve a cause greater than ourselves, and to serve our country)…. the pettiness on all sides during the campaign is past; it’s a crime to see it continued in this forum. McCain was and is a great American. Let Obama try to emulate him with the greaty opportunity given him.

Big Shame On Those Who still bear ill feeling against Our WORLD accepetable President Elect !!! Shame on those who still paly around with terrorist sallar faling. shame on all who fell to acknoladge the citizenship of out new president !! shame to you all who think this 1808 shame on you who never know that this year is 2008 !!. God bless the President elect.

Big Shame On Those Who still bear ill feeling against Our WORLD accepetable President Elect !!!

“I voted for McCain because I felt he was the best choice to lead this country. McCain has the experience that Obama has no learned as yet and knows foreign policy well. When I was hearing Obama speaking on the platform I thought to myself that he has the sound of a dictator and I think I am right. Rep. Broun just said the identical statement and he feels that the same way I do. This young generation of college students are not aware of what is going to happen here because they are caught up in their own little world of drugs and booze as stated on the internet. But this country will get a good wake up call when it happens and it will happen. That is when they will be sorry they didn’t vote for McCain. Right now it is too late but four years from now it won’t be. I am patiently waiting for the downfall.”
Are you indicating that there would be continution of the Bush/Cheney dictatorship under Obama? How did you figure that out.

jhw539…sorry if I offended you, and millions of others. Maybe I should have said “The First American Dictator” all fluff and none of the right stuff. After all, that is a more deceiving title, and it makes sense because obama’s win was based on deceit.

Mr Independent. You may wish to choose a different name to post by!
Nice smear though. You may wish to take a clue from your hero McCain and stop with the sour grapes and lies.
You state: “But that is just a legal technicality …A bombing here & there, some illegal real estate transactions, voter fraud, illegal political donations from off shore terrorists…”
Did you know Ayers was never convicted of any crime? Somehow you want to tarnish a pre-pubescent black boy with the actions of a group that Ayers was a part of – during the most turbulent and anti-war era of our country?
Did you know there is not even a single lawsuit or investigation into the alleged “illegal real estate transactions”?
Did you know that no voter fraud was commited by Acorn (I am assuming that is the reference you meant)?
Did you know that the “illegal” contributions were spread around pretty liberally to both Republicans and Dems?

I would like to say McCain thank you for your service God Bless you for the way you are handling things now the election is over i was going to vote for mc caine but he got palin on the ticket and said no way … i am an Obama supporter not here to bash McCain just here to say THANKS …OH AND FOR ALL THE FOOLS OUT THERE WELL OBAMA HAS SHOWED PROOF OF BIRTH AND HE IS AN AMERICAN I DONT KNOW WERE YOU ALL GET YOUR INFO FROM BUT STOP DOING IT BECAUSE IT IS VERY WRONG just get over having an arfo- american as YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT

marianne pepitone: what a positive, optimistic person of faith you are! Well, I think you’re dead wrong, and time will tell. You’re just mad because your candidate lost. Get over it. It’ll be all right. Because Obama will look out for you, too.

Watching McCain with Leno reminded me of why I initially liked him. He is a gracious, self-effacing, humourous man with the integrity to put our nation before his feelings about his loss. So different from his VP running mate. He speaks of gratitude and unity. I wish he had not listened to his advisors regarding how to run(or ruin) his campaign, but then again I’ve always been an Obama supporter….

Happy Veterans Day to Senator John McCain… and to his war companion, Michael Christian who also suffered torture from the enemy.
G-d Bless America.
We need it now, more than ever.
We now have a Junior Senator in the Presidential office who voted “Present” for the more than 100 times he had been requested to vote a “Yes” or a “No” on government issues.
McCain was more than polite during Jay Leno’s show last night when Jay asked him if the media was unfair to him. Of course, they were. The media never gave him fair time. It would not have mattered anyway. Obama’s media friends paid for his media time, and they also bought millions of votes for him. McCain did not have this luxury.
Anyway, we now have to wait until these next few years play out. Either he does a great job or he fails and either gets impeached or is not re-elected. Time will tell. All the best to Senator McCain and his gracious wife.

What is “the real John McCain?” The real John McCain is a liberal conservative (which is why we lost, we never win with these people). John McCain lost because he
-took rev wright off the table 6 months ago and castrated any republican that brought it up (one of the strongest arguments against Barry’s judgement, love of country and honesty).
- failed miserably to make the connection between democrats who want to give entitlements/handouts to anyone who can cast a vote to the housing crisis. People like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Chuck Shumer, ACORN(Barry O’s greatest advocate) Jimmy Carter (community reinvestment act) and bill clinton (erasing lending standards that discriminated against the “poor”.
-threw pres Bush under the bus instead of attacking the dems who would prefer to send anywhere from $4,000,000,000-$7,000,000,000,.00 out of our economy annually to countries who HATE us instead of drilling here. This is McCain’s truly liberal quality that leaves conservatives like me shocked that he ever got the nomination….
the real john mccain is a liberal republican which is why he got his butt kicked, romney would have destroyed BO.

Do any of you know that God is in control. It does not matter what any of you think about President Obama or Sen. Mccain. God is in control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John McCain lost people, get over it

liberals hate America and ESPECIALLY the military, so obviously they couldn’t care less about military service, they would prefer to shut the military down. Their favorite war of all time to discuss is Vietnam because America lost that one (that is what happens when a democrat leads us into battle- he gives in to liberal hippies chanting “baby killers” to our US soldiers). abc did not even give a mention to Veteran’s Day yesterday on their website…

He was a sore loser months ago. Too back he’s just now realizing this. He’s right though. And that’s why he and Palin lost. Thank God.

Now let’s see. When McCain loses, he makes a concession speech pleading Americans to unify and support Obama. McCain is considered a sore loser.
When YOUR man, Al Gore loses in 2000, he demands recount after recount, and ONLY in Democratic districts in Florida. Even today, Gore is still whining like a baby about that election. He is considered mature and patriotic.
Yes, I can REALLY see your logic.

palin4prez: “would prefer to send anywhere from $4,000,000,000- $7,000,000,000.00 out of our economy annually to countries who HATE us instead of drilling here.”
Money that is clearly sorely needed for basic education if you think for an instant we can drill our way out of oil dependency. Domestic sources are irrelevant until we get our consumption under control – domestic drilling to stop our dependency on overseas oil is like saying we could have saved the Titanic by giving everyone a teaspoon to bail it out.
I have kids, I’d rather solve the problem now and leave them a little bit of hydrocarbons for plastic feedstock.

You are right Senator, the USA DOES NOT want a sore loser. This is exactly one of the reasons why you lost (not the main reason that being you were not qualified nor intelligent enough) because after getting your fanny STOMPED in the early debates, you came back at PRESIDENT OBAMA with a vengeance riling your followers into an almost vigilante fervor with your terrorist-tie rhetoric and all… you indeed are the very sore loser we decided we did not want.

marco: “Now let’s see. When McCain loses, he makes a concession speech pleading Americans to unify and support Obama. McCain is considered a sore loser.

Al Gore won the popular vote by a half-million people but lost the entire presidency by 2,000 votes in Florida. McCain lost the popular vote by over 7 million people and the electoral college by a devastating 365 to 173.
I can really see YOUR “logic” if you think these are two comparable situations.

“Oh, I’m sure that from time to- well, but she was, look, I- we did a lot of things together a lot of these rallies, and the people were very excited and inspired by her, and that’s what really mattered, I think.”
That was McCain’s answer to Leno’s question about Palin ruining the campaign. Even McCain thinks she screwed it up.

Posted by: Leslie | Nov 12, 2008 9:33:10 AM:
Is it just me, or does McCain almost seem relieved that the election went the way it did? I voted for obama, but I think, deep down, McCain wanted him to win too.
Yes, he does seem relieved and I think his concern came from the VP choice… It was the beginning of a train wreck two weeks after the RNC.

Palin drew in crowds 2-3 times bigger than McCain’s on avg and she drew in 5-10 bigger than Biden’s- how did she screw up?? McCain screwed up by getting the nomination, he was anti-drilling, anti coal, proamnesty, anti-bush-tax cuts, in other words, he was a liberal conservative and they don’t win elections. ultra-conservatives win

I think McCain is happy that it’s over and he isn’t going to make any derogatory comments about palin; at least not in public. His health and her gaffes did not aid his campaign.
I also don’t know if there is anyone who could take over the office of the president and fix the mess this country is in.

If McCain had been McCain from June onwards rather than becoming a front for the very people who have messed up the USA in the past 8 years he might have stood a chance.
Instead he played to the disgusting and demented small faction on the far right of the country that makes up the sad GOP base, many of whom are on show here and represented by Palin. It made it very hard for independents to vote for him and the tired old hate filled sentiments the campaign represented.
I think he now realises that and will try and rebuild his reputation in the Senate. Ironically while Palin is already campaigning for 2012 before Inuguration Day and on the very ideas that got McCain beaten. Still let her do that and see what happens, it may appeal to the small minded here but will have the same outcome that befell McRage.

USpatriot: “ultra-conservatives win ”
Please. An ultra-conservative couldn’t even win the nomination, were all the voters were Republicans (with the tight Obama-Clinton race, there was essentially no Dems crossing over to play in the Republican primaries). You can have your opinion, but those of us in reality appreciate that there was a long, expensive and thorough process through which it was determined that no, ultra-conservatives do not win elections.

The crowds that Palin drew also lessened as the campaign went on. After the newness wore off, and people started seeing the real deal, her numbers dropped. You also have to remember that everyone, no matter what type of person they are, will have followers. That will never change. On another note, I have to agree with another comment, McCain was anything but a “sore loser”. His concession speach reminded me of the John McCain that people respected.

USpatriot: “Hitler, Stalin, Mao, also served in the military too -what is your point? that nuts can’t be in the military?”
That you are disparaging a US Marine as unpatriotic based on out of context quotes and his willingness to state opinions that you do not agree with. I thought my point was pretty clear, but I’ll try to provide a simplified summary for you in the future.

dilligaf: “Reading through his policies it was clear he thinks America can survive without rich people and large companys.”
Could you cite where you got this impression? I found no such bias. Obama’s willingness to listen to and take as advisers some of the most successful businessmen in the country (from Warren Buffet to Larry Page) seems to counter your concern.

Atleast Palin knows
-who was prez during the start of the depression,
-tv’s were not invented in 1929,
-jobs is NOT a 3-letter word,
-you don’t need “a slight indian accent to go into a 7-11″,
-higher taxes are not patriotic,
-there are not 57 states

The greatest danger Palin faces is the inability to know that she does not know! Even in her recent flurry of interviews, she revealed a big and gaping scope of ignorance. Just check out Keith Olbermann show of Novemeber 11, 2008 where many of her gaps in knowledge were exposed. Much of the the media–including more conspicuously Greta Vansestran, CBS Morning show, CNN’s Situation Room, and of course Fox News, have failed to call her attention to the incorrect information she was glibbly mouthing and spouting. Instead, I get a sense that they simply want to provide a sounding board to Palin as their next spuerheroine. That is not journalism at its best. Some have even implied that being a beauty queen or a “charmer” is enough qualification for election to the highest office in the land. God save us from lazy journalists unwilling and unable to do their homework! Lazy journalists cannot be true sentinels of freedom in a democracy. The likes of Maurine Dowd, Keith Olbermann, Larry King, ABC’S “political radar”, and CBS’s Katie Curic are well ahead of the pack in their more critical and knowledge-based approach to journalism. I applaud their effort to inform us as well as broaden our perspective!

FS, that was a wonderful post. You get my applause.

jhw539,
Obama shows he is anti-wealth and anti-corportation by his voting record…raising taxes is a job-killer
If you knew anyting about socialism (which I am sure you don’t) you would know that you bleed the producers dry (corporations, wealthy individuals) to compensate the non-producing people in society. What more proof do you need that BO is a socialist? do you want him to rip of his shirt and show us all a socialist tatoo- would that be proof enough? just look at how excited the stock market is about BO’s presidency, obvioulsy it can recognize a socialist better than you….

FS
the only place i know of to show you would be in the unedited versions of the couric interviews and other obama-obsessed media..
the media can do whatever it wants by choosing how to cover someone… why it could even take a disgruntled little man living in vienna selling watercolors on the side of the street and turn him into a force so powerful he threatened the safety of the entire free world!! welcome to germany 1933 my friend

Show me the most gracious loser ever.
I will still show you a loser.
Show me the most honorable, respected loser in the history of the world.
You still have a loser.

Hey Tyrone, this black man is not for McCain, so don’t put me in your group. A man who would treat his wife the way he treated his first wife doesn’t have any of my respect. And why do Republicans think that they’re the only ones that are Christians? There are millions of Christians in our society who don’t support a party who only cares about a handful of Americans. rather than all Americans. I commend McCain for being gracious in defeat. Some of you Republicans should follow your candidate’s lead. He lost this election fair & square. When you win an election by the margin Obama won it, ACORN doesn’t matter, having 95% of the black vote doesn’t matter. Those factors didn’t put Obama over the top. Obama won because he got 70% of the Hispanic vote & 45-47% of the white vote, & he ran a consistent, issues-based, positive campaign. There are a plethra of reasons why McCain lost this election. Time to move on.

Those of you who are hoping Obama will fail are hoping that America will fail. My guess is that you are hoping he will fail so that in 4 years we can all go back to a GOP dictator-type rule like we have had for that past 8 years, which was only good for the richest 5 percent of the population, while the entire middle class suffered. Lets give Obama a chance and our support, and hope that under his leadership we can pull ourselves out of this financial crisis, and in the process maybe we can also salvage the good reputation and good will we once had throughout the world.

What do you think gov’t does with this control? they take 1/2 the profits through taxation and distribute it how they like.

I post: …and you know this how? May I offer this little pearl; “Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself”
In fact, may I suggest you read (or re-read) that Inaugural Address. Its rather good! It just might be appropriate for everyone to read during this current time.
On another note… just saw the latest Palin interview. I tell you!!!! I am becoming one of her BIGGEST fans!!!!! Buckle your seat belts everyone! Baby Doll ain’t goin’ nowhere!!! LOL!!!!!
Here’s another one (I just LOVE her!)
From the Urban Dictionary:
Palin:
Definition 1:
1. An applicant lacking even basic job skills
2. Someone supremely un-self-aware or lacking any relative sense of what he/she does or doesn’t know.
HR sent me another Palin for the marketing manager job.
Definition 2:
(v) to abandon one’s principles for short term gain
Tom, a devout vegan, palined when he consumed a happy meal solely to obtain the collectible toy it contained.
Definition 3:
n.
1. Pejorative term that refers to an incompetent, impractical, irrelevant or incapable person who has been appointed to a position of great importance.
2. A person who holds authority disproportionate to his or her requisite ethics and qualifications. Derived from John McCain’s controversial 2008 Vice Presidential pick, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
John was recently made principal, but everybody thinks he’s a Palin who can’t do the job.
My new boss is such a Palin – he took my deserved place because the CEO is his personal friend.

The election is over. This country is divided between those who think they are Christians and those who know they are atheist. It is obvious who atheist voted for, but who did the christians vote for? Read the history of the Roman empire and see how their glory fell. Our nation rest on the hands of all americans and how they choose to live their lives. Our government is full of corruption and greed on all levels. Don’t put your trust on government, you will be disappointed every time.

Palin pulled crowds almost equal to the size of the annointed one and she was on the political scene for 8 weeks. Barry O has been parting the seas for 2 years with the media building him up and Palin had almost equal success with the media HATING her….

I can’t wait for OBAMA to get into office and the media turn on him like a pack of wolves…

By the way, talking about being a sore loser, the only thing that’s going to be sore for the next 4 years is my WALLET!!!

Romney would have crushed Barry, why did we ever choose McCain?? McCain obviously has an incredible record of service to our country and I for one will always honor that, but liberal republicans NEVER WIN ELECTIONS. Romney would have exposed Barry for what he is…
anti-capitalism
anti-American
anti-white
socialist
HUGE contributor to housing crisis
community agitator
I knew the day McCain got elected we would lose. Picking Palin helped some to boost him, but when conservatives nominate someone who doesn’t want to drill in ANWR because of “global warming” (which is now being referred to as “climate change” because the whole warming thing seems to not be panning out), opposed Bush’s tax cuts, and coal as a resource that’s a problem!

Amen, Grand Old Party! There are going to be a bunch of sore losers come 2012 after four years of Obama and his leftist illuminati practices. The only ones who will be happy are those who don’t want to work and expect a handout.

Thank you Jesus for Obama. Our God answers prayer!

We salute you ,Senator McCain. You are a hero, a true patriot of this nation.
Obama is just lucky this time: he lied well, manipulated voters, the press well with his money, rhetoric, skin color.

Too bad for you and Palin is…The more people found out about her the less they like her.

“”"This first week shows the real consequences of Obama as president: The stock market drops, auto industry wants a handout too and Russia wants our missiles out of Poland. John McCain could have handled this but Obama is still “thinking about it”.
Posted by: lu54 | Nov 12, 2008 8:30:51 AM
***********************************
Obama is no more responsible for the market dropping than Bush.
Some parts of the auto industry in the US have been on life support for far too long.
As for Poland, Obama can really do little about anything right now. That’s for Bush to deal with.
And no, I did not vote for Obama as I disagree with pretty much his entire political ideology (big government is good).
But so far all he has done is give a few good speeches and I recognize that much of what a politician says during a campaign is just a bunch of hot air. So until he does something, anything, in the Oval Office, I will withhold judgment. My support of him, or lack thereof, will follow (or not) based on his actions.
Few of us did any less with Bush.

Joe User:
Are you serious? Obama is an intellectual. Palin is a moron.
Ummm:
“John McCain could have handled this…”
Did you notice McCain in September when the financial meltdown started? He looked like he didn’t know whether to crap or wind his watch. Obama looked calm and collected.
