I think everyone who keeps posting the breathless vanities needs to take a night off and plug in a movie.
John McCain is going to win this election. The polls are misreading the Dems and Republicans registered as Dems when the reweight their polls. They are way off.
Republicans are firmly established parties in OH, FL, NC and VA. They know how to turn out voters in these states and will carry them. PA will be the surprise of the contest.
But...if it doesn't go our way, we need to keep our heads clear and look at the positive. We have Sarah Palin. She has rinsed our party of the David Brooks/Peggy Noonan losers once and for all. We can begin working on a conservative coalition.
Two years of Obama, Pelosi and Reid will lead to gains in Congress in 2010. Palin will be a force in 2012 and defeat Obama (assuming he hasn't outlawed elections by then or we haven't been nuked by Iran). She and Bobby Jindal will really clean up Washington.
I certainly want McCain to beat Obama - Barack has no business in the White House. But I do acknowledge that McCain will drive us conservatives nuts for four years as POTUS. Sarah will probably have to run against him in the primary in 2012.
FIGHT ON!
LMAO!
Reminds me of that tagline some Freeper had that said,
"Throwing another bullet riddled TV on the pile out back."
Just turn the darn thing off, or do like some Freepers, and clam down.
Freedom from the frantic blather has been a Godsend, in more ways than one.
A Prayer for our Nation as we Prepare to Elect our Leaders
For nine days, from October 27 to Election Day (November 4), Priests for Life calls upon believers to participate in the “Election Novena” by saying the following prayer each day:
O God, we acknowledge you today as Lord,
Not only of individuals, but of nations and governments.
We thank you for the privilege
Of being able to organize ourselves politically
And of knowing that political loyalty
Does not have to mean disloyalty to you.
We thank you for your law,
Which our Founding Fathers acknowledged
And recognized as higher than any human law.
We thank you for the opportunity that this election year puts before us,
To exercise our solemn duty not only to vote,
But to influence countless others to vote,
And to vote correctly.
Lord, we pray that your people may be awakened.
Let them realize that while politics is not their salvation,
Their response to you requires that they be politically active.
Awaken your people to know that they are not called to be a sect fleeing the world
But rather a community of faith renewing the world.
Awaken them that the same hands lifted up to you in prayer
Are the hands that pull the lever in the voting booth;
That the same eyes that read your Word
Are the eyes that read the names on the ballot,
And that they do not cease to be Christians
When they enter the voting booth.
Awaken your people to a commitment to justice
To the sanctity of marriage and the family,
To the dignity of each individual human life,
And to the truth that human rights begin when human lives begin,
And not one moment later.
Lord, we rejoice today
That we are citizens of your kingdom.
May that make us all the more committed
To being faithful citizens on earth.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
