What about all the absentee Military votes in VA. And, for that matter, FL and other states. Though, there were questions about the ones in VA even being counted.

Praying is not the only solution. We need to organize immediately. We cannot wait. We all know here what is going to go down with this socialist in the wh.

As time goes on his power is going to grow. This country was formed as a republic and will go down as a republic.

We can’t just sit around and do nothing. I have been wracking my brain, but we need to come up with some ideas.

I don't understand the people of the US right now. I don't trust the people of the US right now.

But I trust my God. I know he has a plan. I don't understand what it could possibly be . . . but I know he does. And I trust him . . . with my life . . . with my eternity.

So I will not despair. Because God is in charge.

“America is about to get a refresher course on life during the Carter administration.”

You beat me to it FRiend. And to those who dare to crow to me, will be getting a refresher.

But I fear it will be much worse than Carter. Especially globally. The retreat of America is on and its enemies are now rubbing their hands with glee.

I will also say I don’t want to hear ANY excuses from the Obamabots. Because with this guy’s garbage, you can see that religious nonsense will only get worse.

The first thing I will say to these folks is oh yeah remember that 20% across the board tax cut “for the rich” you got. Kiss that goodbye and start saving now.

Because there will be more taxes from the Obamatron where that came from.

If we lose, the best we can hope is that the middle class is so royally screwed by this guy they’ll never vote rat again and they’ll vote in Reps for as long as it takes to undo the damage, some of which may not ever be undone.

Don't worry, it will happen. Just wait until energy prices rise again. I don't want to hear them bit*hing about heating their homes or filling their gas tanks as they elected a person that doesn't believe in drilling, nuke plants or even coal. Jesus, I can't believe this is happening.

An Obama victory must not stand.

The ACORN votes

The millions of dollars for Obama that can’t be traced.

His refusal to prove he was born in the U.S., etc.

We must press these issues and rip every move he makes.

Oh come on now. This country needs a good dose of Obamunism.

Right now, someone, somewhere, is thinking about having a celebratory abortion.

Good luck to all the newly conceived!

There are still good parts of America. I hope and trust there always will be. I’m proud to be a Georgian whose state stood tall tonight. We will never allow the tyranny of socailism to take over this stae. Neither will at least another 15 states. They would have to divide the country in half first.

I don't either, AUTiger. I'm just stunned at these results... I really thought McPalin had a fighting chance...

Continuing to pray, pray, pray. Lord Jesus, please let every vote count. Have mercy on us, Father. We love You and we know You love us—we know because You told us so (John 3:16) Hold us close to You tonight, Lord.

The Repubs are always a bunch of self-righteous martyrs and that’s why we lose race after race and issue after issue. Case in point: do you remember Trent Lott’s absolutely idiotic power-sharing deal with Tom Daschle? Does anybody think for one second that Daschle or any rat would have done the same for us? Look at how Repubs are treated by the Senate and House rats, and how they use their installed minions to prosecute and harass Repubs. Repubs just take it and pat themselves on the back for being above such tactics. They make me sick. About 80% or so of them are either cowards or milquetoasts.

This is how Obama got elected.

The people in this country are mostly conservative, but with a VERY unpopular president and a tanking economy, it was a real up hill battle once the collapse of the mortgage companies occurred. Look it, every several years we exchange power in this country. Eight years of a Republican, bad economy and people were like, “ok..something new”. And most likely if Obama messes up we can get a REAL conservative message out and win back one or both houses in a couple of years.
Republicans have to stop with the amnesty crap, and the big government nonsense.
Period.
No liberal or liberal leaning person is impressed. They’d rather vote for the real thing.
WE are lucky we won as many states as we did.

Same here. In fact, I swear to God I miss Bill Clinton, and I thought it'd be a cold day in hell before I'd ever say that.

I am sorry.I know that wasn't meant to be funny, but that just me laugh out loud when I read it.

I feel the same way!
