I note that though many say race was not a factor the last stat. I saw shows 96% of blacks voting for Obama. On the bright side the BBC, the UK arm of the Obama fan club is ecstatic, so that gives me a nice warm feeling. Lets see what happens vis a vis Israel/Palestine, Iraq,Afghanistan. The economy, out of any domestic politician's hands I think. Enjoy yourself enjoy yourself its later than you think. Enjoy yourself enjoy yourself while your still in the brown..err pink...errr white house. (50s pop song)

~FR~ I fell asleep on my sofa last night and awoke to McCain's concession speech - which in my muddled, sleep-addled state i mistook for a victory speech. Imagine my relief when i found that was far from the truth. I do believe that Palin cost McCain the election. Thank you Senator Palin [:)]! Congratulations America, you've done good! Now if only we in Canada could be so smart sigh phoenix

I cannot speak for other former Republicans, but I feel it is too late. They have allowed a complete hijack of the party by the Non-Cons, they squandered their majority in the Government, they completely went against some of the cornerstones of their own philosophy, and they showed that they cannot learn from those mistakes by offering much of the same. I just hope the Dems handle it differently now that they have a majority and the President. quote: ORIGINAL: thornhappy quote: ORIGINAL: OrionTheWolf The problem is that the party abandoned their philosophies many years ago. I would actually like to see the Republican party become non-existant and another party take it's place. It would be a good lesson to other parties in the future. Greetings, Orion. I wonder if they'll go back to the old philosophies, and decouple themselves from the religous right. Maybe the think tanks will find new avenues for the party. thornhappy

mike it sounds to me more more like racist and classless wishful thinking. Miracle that he wins? Try a HUGE sweeping victory. The world is changing fellas, keep up or get out of the way. Congrats mike by the way[:)] quote: ORIGINAL: slvemike4u quote: ORIGINAL: michaelOfGeorgia quote: ORIGINAL: BOUNTYHUNTER quote: ORIGINAL: michaelOfGeorgia if, by some miracle, Obama wins...it'll be another "Kennedy" incident I for some strang reason have that same feeling michael... he'll be lucky to make it as long as Kennedy did I find such speculation distubing and tasteless.

Well, I can surely understand that. I mean, if you can't be wealthy then obviously you can't suceed (sic). Anyone and everyone knows the only measure of success is how large your house is, what kind of car you drive, and how much money you have.

Marcb, i went to bed prior to seeing your last post, I have had people ask me if that was me who have seen my pic, although similar in coloring, its not me. And let's be clear, i never stated that avatar was me, anyone who has ever asked i have stated clearly it is an avatar, while it looks somewhat like me it is not me. When my profile is up my picture usually shows. I am not looking for anything right now so to me its silly to keep my profile up. People are able to contact me if they want through the pm feature on the boards and that's sufficient for me. Deleted portion for form sake. As for my comments, i explained why i posted what i did to Owner59. Take it or leave it lol i really don't care. angel

quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity Or eating as much as we want.. huh? Yet another quote taken out of context while you ignore, or just don't understand, the point he was trying to make. Which is that over-consumption is at the root of many of our problems. Though that is a seperate argument. He is not proposing to regulate any of that.

quote: ORIGINAL: variation30 don't know...january 21st I think. when bush was elected last term I was upset...but he was a predictably bad president and I knew what to expect. with obama, I have no idea what to expect...but I know it will be bad. I'm just scared we'll have a second fdr on our hands... I am very interested in how history will judge Bush. There will be no doubt that he made some mistakes but he faced some challenges that no one ever saw coming. As for FDR... there are many that would say he was one of our greatest presidents. He must have been pretty amazing to be elected to 4 terms. Again another president who faced some real challenges that no one would have seen coming when he was first elected. And oh yeah the stock market has a very big impact on the economy. Buying stock is what allows companies to expand. If their is confidence in the stock market and companies feel good about offering ipo's that all equates to new jobs. This is one of the reasons that the Clinton years get some much credit for a good economy. It wasn't really anything he did - it was just a great boom, driven by the new internet, in the Stock market that we all benefited from.

The Bill Of Rights tells us that we have every right to consume however much we desire, and so how is your shining knight Obama going to slay that particular dragon exactly. quote: Which is that over-consumption is at the root of many of our problems.

Sleeping in the dumpster for a few days might provide him a new sense of motivation.

Jax, don't you know that Clinton was entirely responsible for everything good? It is law that you cannot speak ill of the patron saint of oral sex. And if you think telling the truth about his "accomplishment" doesn't fall into that category you may be surprised by the backlash. Anywhere in this country there will be hordes of people willing to defend what a great president he was even though many lost their jobs due to his opening the NAFTA door. His true legacy? A stained dress, lost jobs, a weaker military that caused more guard and reservists to be called to the current fighting, and a library built with Chinese funds on stolen ground. If history judges him as great, Bush will at least be good. If history ever takes off its rose colored glasses and looks at who really did what, they'll see that both men sucked. They both worked together to destroy the middle class.
