We need to put an end to early voting! I heard people talking about it on the radio today—their names or spouses names still in the vote rolls despite having early voted. Then it happened to me—my son was still on the list of voters at my precinct despite having early voted. There appears to be no accountability, no accurate cross-checking of early voters against those on the rolls to vote on election day. Just imagine the opportunities for fraud ! WE NEED TO GET RID OF EARLY VOTING!

God you are in control of the entire universe, much less our tiny little country. You already told us that no one has authority unless you give them authority. But, now I pray that Your will be done here on earth, just as it is in Heaven. Whatever your will is — let it be done. We don’t understand the big plan. We don’t see things from your perspective. We only see the MSM giants — the poll number giants. But, God you are bigger than the giants. You can defeat the giants without even blinking. Forgive us. Forgive our country. Forgive us for walking away from You. Forgive us for throwing You out. I invite you back in. Come heal our land. You are the only solution. God be our solution.

There will not be any fair elections period in 2012 mark my words!!!

This is a real possibility, but it is not a forgone conclusion. We really must put up strong and organized resistance. To start with, we have the chance to stop all the infighting that we have seen right here over the last few years. We have a common enemy now, and it is formidable. People who care enough to resist must be prepared to put forth time and effort and to be subjected to ridicule and intimidation.

Anybody willing to take a day off and protest the terrorist in DC on inauguration day?

Well, for what it's worth....great sadness awaits Ohio.

Not to mention the rest of the nation.

When it comes to ruining what's left of our economy, Barry's fixin' to make Carter look like a piker.

Retailers can kiss Christmas goodbye. Anyone with a brain will be pulling in their horns financially speaking and preparing to ride out what's going to be a very nasty four years.

I have been watching the election results tonight with great interest.

Some of you may have read some of my previous economic posts.

After the dust settles from this election, you should seriously consider and pray about keeping two months worth of cash on hand. Not in the bank - on hand.

Also, you should be stocked with at least one month's worth of food - rotate it to keep it fresh.

Barack Obama will be forming an economic alliance with Sarkozy of France. This will result in economic disaster - not only for the U.S. - but for the entire world. We will be losing our economic sovereignty.

Also, Obama will be looking to bring forth massive government infrastructure projects - ala FDR. This will be to provide busywork for the massive unemployment that we are soon to face.

Watch the U.S. short-term treasury bonds. Their yields are dropping right now - but there will be a time in the coming months when they begin to spike, and when the value of the U.S. dollar plummets.

Be prepared.

Thanks for the devotional but allow me to suggest, next time don't just copy the words.

Right click and then select "view source."

Scroll down to where the passages start and copy them with their HTML tags, then paste it to your post.

It will capture the post with the same formatting that you got it from.

Are you online, StarFan? FR still crawling along at 1998 dial-up speed for me. I can't find my good FRiends to talk to on Election Night. It's infuriating...

If our Pubbie leadership has any balls (and the numbers to sustain a filibuster) they should immediately declare any Obie legislation DOA. Draw the line in the sand and hold it.

We have now become a left-wing country.

Nah. We've become become Venezuela.

Ben Franklin said we've been given a Republic...if we can keep it.

On this night, the great American experiment died.

I'm so grateful my father did not live to see this.

You are so right, those of us who lived through Jimmy Carter know what that means.

Rush is probably worth several hundred million bucks and clear channel is a huge corp. ,They will not got or submit to the fairness doctrine quietly. And you can be sure they have been preparing for it for quite a while. If nothing else it will unite all conservative talk hosts for a change under the same banner, an awesome force to go up against especially if you are a political type.

Don't look for our demise that quickly.

Just today Schumer reiterated they are going for the fairness doctrine, they are about to totally change our right to free speech in this country. Air America failed because people didn't want to hear that crap, yet America just voted for an Air America President. Ohio is in the toilet so what do they do vote in people who make them more like Michigan... PA just voted to do away with their coal and steel industry today...

Heaven forbid any pundit or paper EVER writes or says one bad thing about President Obama and look at a worse justice department than we had under CLinton... We know they are going to cut military spending 25% but Obama wants a CIVILIAN paramilitary force as large or larger than our military -- the media never asked WHY!

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.

I thought that the election of the Obamessiah is supposed to bring us all good things. During his reign, it will never be too cold (nor too hot), nobody will ever get sick, no crimes will be committed (except by eeeevil Republicans), nobody will ever want for anything. Even the NYC subways will run on time and never break down!
