Thank you, Charles, for all your tireless work on this site and others.
You have done yeoman's duty.
We all have done what we could do.

OK, all except for Kilgore...

ETA: It's gone now...crap!

Red

Killgore is not the enemy, people!

Focus on what IS the enemy. Figure out what YOU are going to do about it.

Ok, I'm out for the night but Republicans should remember that they are the BIG WINNERS. McCain/Palin was a great idea and it worked out fantastically. Those who say otherwise are poopyheads!

Which Obama are we going to get? How soon will we know?

I wouldn't want to be him for all the tea in China. The whole world thinks you're a god, you might well think you're a god, you owe Soros the kingdom, and even though you only have your Learners Permit, you've just been given the keys to the most expensive Formula 1 car in the world and told to go win the Championship. You owe everybody something. Expectations are about as high as they could possibly be for any one human being.

Good luck Barry, please don't fuck us all. G-d is watching and so are we.

It is pretty amazing that this particular time in history will be taught in the history classes in the year 3000, that is how significant the the events of the last 8 years and next couple of years are.

A couple thoughts on our new president:

He can't possibly live up to the expectations placed on him, some of which he is responsible for. What will be the reaction from people when he doesn't live up to the hype?

Will the professional complainers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson now shut their mouths?

Who will be the first prominent African American to say that Obama is "not really black?"

Who said, "The people get the government they deserve?"

"homeland security", I meant above. Left out a word.

What are you going to do to stem the tide of collectivism?

Now it's time for the GOP to look into it's "rule book" and find some real conservatives to start grooming for future races.

Let's face it, many of us were not happy with McCain as the presidential choice. We we not happy with the spending the Bush administration has been doing over the last 4 years. We have not been happy with the bailouts.

So, if we have been unhappy with so much of the GOP, it's no wonder that the rest of the country has been having an identity crisis in regards to true conservatism.

A lot of the outcome of this election can be laid right in our own parties lap.

Obama has his work cut out for himself if he really wants to unite the country. We have our work cut out for ourselves if we want to see a conservative part which is truly conservative again.

It's all up to us.

Off to bed now... Sad, but hopeful that we cam overcome this. Being President seems, at first , to be the top job. Unfortunately it carries with it the most difficult job anyone could ever imagine. Good luck to "President ' Obama. May God have mercy on his soul.

The idea of making your own way is much more appealing to the hearts of men and women than the idea of taking handouts. We just have to make people believe that it can be done. America was founded by people who were absolute in their beliefs they could make it on their own. That spirit is not gone, it's just not being elucidated by those that we've put in power.

Let's get back to what speaks to the heart of Americans. Let's start making people believe they are strong, not that they need others to support them.

Overseas reaction? Here's for starters, UK TimesOnline:

Yesterday’s results were head-spinning stuff. In electing Barack Obama president by a solid margin, accompanied by a congress with the biggest Democratic majority since the 1970s, Americans have signalled a dramatic change in the direction of the world’s sole superpower.

The country regarded loftily by many Europeans as hopelessly racist and irredeemably right wing has voted to be ruled by a black man, at the head of a party committed to economic redistribution and a foreign policy rooted in peaceful diplomatic engagement.

[Link: www.timesonline.co.uk...]

The election of the most dangerous, Socialist, inexperienced, immature, egotistical America-hating President... is the final legacy of George W. Bush. Ding me down if you want, but you know it's true.

Wikipedia revenge at its best from the McCain page

McCain lost his bid for the Republican nomination in the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush. He ran again for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, and gained enough delegates to become the party's presumptive nominee in March 2008. McCain was formally nominated at the 2008 Republican National Convention in September 2008, together with his chosen running mate from Alaska, Governor Sarah Palin. McCain lost the 2008 presidential election to Barack Obama.Obama epically won because McCain fails at life.

Not at all. Obama is an awesome politician. I can't stand him but that isn't relevant. Hillary couldn't stop him, McCain couldn't, I don't know who could have. Well, looks like we'll have 4 years to figure out what sticks.

These people aren't Marxists. More will be joining them. We will see where the final numbers come out, but the Congress knows that the first midterm of a new president is usually painful for his party.

If we get Obamanomics and Obamacare and a run at Obamagruppen SS then all of those seats will go red fast. These are perk-driven congress members - they place their survival first.

The key is to thwart too much damage in the first 150 days. We will see if Republican leadership is capable of that.

The "in-your-face"-ness of some of the celebrations are really puzzling to me. I see videos from around the country and there is the air of something much bigger than a political celebration. I have never understood what George Bush did to personally offend so many people, and I don't understand why the same people are treating this as the second coming.

I want to ask one of them "How exactly will your life be different in one year from today directly because of something Obama will do?" I'm sure it'd get a blank look but I am really curious why this over-the-top euphoria.

That said I can't say I'm shocked by the outcome. I was trying to be cautiously optimistic with some of the early news but it seemed to fall apart pretty quickly. Too many people were promised too many things by Obama, and for whatever reason for forgetting the last 8 years weren't all that bad (save the last 6 months or so), thought "change" would fix everything.

I know I don't post here much but I probably will have to to vent the next few years. I've learned this year most of my circle of friends is pretty clueless politically and really bought into Obama... even friends that I know would be Republican if the Republican party would just stand up for its principles again.

(and don't forget -- it only took 2 years of Clinton for the country to give massive majorities back to the Republicans... there's always hope!)

re: #48 McJenny50

I feel a powerful case of ODS coming on and I don't particularly feel too bad about it.

I think the ODS will be most hard felt by the same sort of idiots that I saw dancing outside the White House tonight. Give it about 6 months.

The expectations of the Obama voter are spectacularly unrealistic. And once The One reveals himself to be nothing more than an opportunistic politician, the buyers remorse will show itself in full force.

E.G. I believe Biden basically said we're going to war with Pakistan within 6 months. He said it to his moonbat base in San Fran and Seattle.

Charles,

Prediction: By about May-June next year, all the stuff the News Media SHOULD have written about before the election will appear as if by magic.
DON'T BE FOOLED. They did this with Clinton (tho not as egregiously). They covered up/spun all negative news until AFTER the election then they were all like "gee we didn't realize he was such a scumbag! Well NOW we'll get right on those stories and stuff cause That's Our Job."
(spit) Yeah right. They'll do this to try to lure folks back into believing they're doing the fact-finding and that they can be believed and that they're being good citizens to defend themselves from being pointed to as a major flaw/influence that got an utter incompetent (if not criminal) into office.

THEY NEWS MEDIA MUST PAY FOR THEIR LIES AND COVERUPS! Cancel subscriptions write to advertisers. Support alternative media. Start a blog. Let us point out from now until they have been marginalized that the News Media in this country acted treasonously and with malice aforethought to the detriment of this Country.

Maybe his victory will lead to his followers working hard to get ahead and acting on the inspiration to be better educated.

If we get Obamanomics and Obamacare and a run at Obamagruppen SS then all of those seats will go red fast. These are perk-driven congress members - they place their survival first.

The key is to thwart too much damage in the first 150 days. We will see if Republican leadership is capable of that.

re: #106 jayzee

Not at all. Obama is an awesome politician. I can't stand him but that isn't relevant. Hillary couldn't stop him, McCain couldn't, I don't know who could have. Well, looks like we'll have 4 years to figure out what sticks.

I wouldn't go so far as to say Obama is an "awesome politician", unless, by that, you simply mean that his organization was strong enough to get him elected. In terms of his leadership history and political record, Senator "Present" is razor-thin.

He won his last two elected offices largely by disqualifying his opponents, not by outrunning them. This time around, he won the nomination largely by gaming the stupid Democrat caucus system, reneging on his promise to take public financing, and other chicanery. I don't see that as "awesome politics" (though that's semantic).

This cycle, Obama benefitted largely by being in the right place at the right time. He came in as the leftmost candidate after the most hated right-wing candidate in recent memory, and his chief rival (Hilary) had tons of personal baggage, and poor execution. It *EASILY* could have been her with the nomination instead of Obama. Simple reporting of the Edwards scandal probably would have been enough to do that.

Nice one. The ultimate in Bush Derangement Syndrome. Blame Bush for the people and institutions who hate and relentlessly bash him.

I don't blame him for them hating him. I blame him for never standing up to them. For letting them tell the people who GWB was. For never taking his vision to or explaining his actions to the American people. For being the invisible President, who only got more invisible when his poll numbers went down and they hit him harder. You can make good decisions, but a good leader inspires. A good leader get's people on board. GWB's leadership skills sucked ass, and that's being generous.

Reminds me of the Holocaust being blamed on Jews.

That is a completely asinine comparison.

In a sense, this election was lost in 2005. Post-victory Iraq started it, the 2004 election results got the ball rolling, Katrina finished it, and the remaining three years the Repubs have been running on empty. If you don't act Presidential and you don't answer your critics in complete sentences, in this day and age, you're going to lose to a guy who does. The best answer to the Dems was McCain and he wasn't smart enough, fast enough.

The only thing to do now is eject the pork pigs and get back to the original intent of the Founding Fathers: provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare (not supply it), and always favor LIBERTY, that is the legal enshrinement of individual rights, rather than run around spouting this half-assed over-used buzzword of "freedom", which in this day and age means "freedom to buy stuff" (including Presidents, as Soros has shown us).

re: #17 Walter L. Newton

Now it's time for the GOP to look into it's "rule book" and find some real conservatives to start grooming for future races.

Let's face it, many of us were not happy with McCain as the presidential choice. We we not happy with the spending the Bush administration has been doing over the last 4 years. We have not been happy with the bailouts.

So, if we have been unhappy with so much of the GOP, it's no wonder that the rest of the country has been having an identity crisis in regards to true conservatism.

A lot of the outcome of this election can be laid right in our own parties lap.

Obama has his work cut out for himself if he really wants to unite the country. We have our work cut out for ourselves if we want to see a conservative part which is truly conservative again.

It's all up to us.

In retrospect, Palin was and is a good choice, and I think she'd be a contender worth considering for either slot of the ticket in 2012.

I agree, though, that the GOP needs some serious housecleaning, and the next two years will be the best time to do it.

I am taking it as a given that a 2.5-3.0% spread is entirely within the range of vote fraud. I decline to eat this sandwich.

If it were so, 3% vote fraud would be massive fraud.

While I am sure there was SOME voter fraud, and equally sure that it provided net benefit to Obama, I'm not going to jump onto that particular bandwagon without good evidence.

With the electoral college as lopsided as it is, such fraud would have had to have successfully tipped multiple swing states to have mattered in this case.

There is something positively surreal about electing this alluring, potentially very dangerous character with a murky past to the highest office in the land. Which reminds me that I forgot one factor in the political-cultural brew of the last decades which made this possible: drugs. This is psychedelic reality made manifest.

Massive Kassam fire reported from Gaza

Rescue services reported a "massive" cross-border Kassam barrage on Wednesday, with three of the rockets landing in the western Negev, damaging several greenhouses.

The IDF said at least 20 rockets were fired from the Strip.

No one was wounded in the bombardment which came after a night on which three soldiers were wounded by a mortar shell fired by Palestinians during IDF operations in southern Gaza.

Two of the soldiers were in moderate condition while the third was lightly hurt. They were evacuated by helicopter to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba.

According to Palestinian reports, six Palestinian gunmen were reported dead in what was the first armed confrontation with the IDF since the cease-fire took effect in June.

There's some intimidation going on. A group of guys walks up and one holds a fist out and says, "Obama did it this s---. Give up for Obama. Give it up." Horns blaring, people mashing up. The cops are on edge.

I'd rather have had the civil war via McCain winning
than the (I fear) global war of 0bama winning

how many shoes are going to drop...?
Israel, Gaza, Iran, Syria
India Vs Pakistan ?
North/South Korea ?

China will peacefully reunify with TW though
they know they're out numbered
and will get no help
and are not a fighting people

some good that will do when the middle east glows 4500 degrees

Again looking for silver linings... there doesn't seem to have been a Bradley effect. America isn't that racist anymore.

re: #20 Fierce Guppy

Cheer up. After Carter came Reagan.

No offense, but Carter didn't face a nuclear Iran, or get to pick two or three Supreme Court justices.

I'm all for picking up, dusting off, and moving on, but what we face will be monumental.

re: #219 soccerdad

Hahahahahahahaha! Shit is starting already.

Israel launches first airstrike since June

They KNOW they are effed! Why bother to wait?

They will hit Iran soon, they know they have no choice than do it now, mates!

re: #157 Cognito

I will be absolutely speechless if Al Franken gains a senatorship.

in that case, i hope he wins, but i doubt your moral character will force you to fulfill your side of the bargain...

re: #235 RTLM

Europe loves us again? /Lucky us.

The Euros were totally prepared to label us a off the charts racist country if Obama wasn't elected.

I'd like to see a black candidate's chances in France or Germany or Britain.

They still boo black soccer players in Spain and Italy,

re: #197 Steffan

In retrospect, Palin was and is a good choice, and I think she'd be a contender worth considering for either slot of the ticket in 2012.

I agree, though, that the GOP needs some serious housecleaning, and the next two years will be the best time to do it.

Now, on that point, I would go as far as saying housecleaning DC is only the first step. I think that there should be a WHOLE BUNCH of criminal cases brought against the crooks that are running rampant in Washington, on both sides of the aisle.

Keep in mind folks, there has been a good number of politicians gaming us with the banking and mortgage industry. And then they end the scam with giving them a big bonus of 700+ billion dollars.

Have you noticed how fast all that bailout crap disappeared off the radar. What the fuck are they doing with that money, now that they have approved it to be spent?

I really want to see most of them, both sides, tank. If any one of us had pulled some of the financial stunts these fuck heads did, we'd be in the slammer faster than anything.

I'm still steamed about all that.

We all know that'd never happen. And they call us racists...

re: #220 CyanSnowHawk

He was done in by powerful entrenched democrats and their lackeys, the unions. His last chance to make a change was his initiative blitz. Since then it has been moosecrimp or nothing.

I disagree
Arnold was done in by himself

he could have had the courage to stand up to the dems
and he could have had the sense to make cuts
instead of borrowing when he took over

Arnold-Bush
Bush-Arnold

re: #237 looking closely

Palin will slink back to AK for the next three years, with a lot more experience and name recognition. Even if she lost the election, she's a net winner here.

And she doesn't get linked to any blunders McCain makes as President. Besides, we tend to get tired of one party after 8-12 years. If McCain had won this year, it would have been even harder for a Republican to win next time. Not that I like the idea of Obama for four years in the meantime.

I hate all those sites all the guys here that gave me hope about this election.

I think Romney would have been a better pick, no one could have tossed the inexperience label at him

Helicopters circling over Seattle. Sounds of gunfire now and then.
Time to get away from the windows and pour another big glass of wine. It's gonna be a long night.

You have a fixation.

re: #169 jayzee

I hope my fear of this guy is totally unfounded. I really do.

What evidence do you have for that?

My concern is, what more is there about him that we don't know?

re: #236 faraway

That's it! Everyone needs to refer to this as the new regime.

Me - I'm simply going to refer to him as 'President Government' for the next 4.

Umm... that would solve our dependence on foreign oil. Not the way anyone hopes though.

re: #179 BakaRanger

Tomorrow should be a wonderful day as we watch the great rainbow of love come from Europe...they like us again!

LOL, I'm going to Munich Friday. I'll tell you how much Fr:aulein I get.

re: #247 LoFlyer

That's my prediction. Israel might be better off striking any nuclear facilities in Iran prior to January 20th.

This should make Ahmadinnerjacket even more ill.

I feel bitter and clingy.

re: #110 Ringo the Gringo

Spread it out over the next 48 hours...and be sure to eat something too.

he won't even get a buzz that way...

drink 9 beers, kill the patron, then drink the rest of the beers. the liquor stores will be open again when you wake up.
