Who is going to do it? It’s game, set, match. They’ve got the WH, the Senate, the House, a majority of governorships and 100,000 lawyers and judges.

Armed conflict?

I could not take the analysis/hints and held out hope

This is kind of funny. We have this local 24 hr news channel, CLTV and I put it on for a second to see results of local races.

Someone over there must not really like Obama. One of the headlines on the bottom scroll said, “Obama predicts himself to be winner of Indiana.” LMAO

Walked into the other room and watched a big jump in “unofficial” electorial votes for McCain, just as I walked into the room — still behind — but just a reminder..

PRAYER WORKS!

JUST DO IT!

THANK YOU.

If you look at the numbers on the actual votes..for several states the numbers would easily fall into the “Fraud “category”!

we can fight all we want...BUT UNTIL WE CLEAN UP AND TIGHTEN UP THE ELECTION PROCESS...all and any hard work will be worthless!

We should be thanking Rush for Operation Chaos.

At the time, many, many FReepers bashed him saying that Obama was clearly unelectable and it rescued Hillary from political oblivion.

Well, guess what?

Obama will be the next president, and Hillary will never get beyond where she is tonight.

Rush was right and all the Rush bashers were wrong.

Thank you, Rush.

Nope, its a 96 Ford Explorer.

In all other aspects it’s a great 4WD. Its never given me a moment’s trouble except for the window and a bad battery.

When I hit a good hard bump, the window fixes itself and it’ll roll up again.

>>>I'm so grateful my father did not live to see this.<<<
—For every Greatest Generation elder we lose comes of age a new numbskull wanting a handout. Too many Americans have no shame, no morals, and such qualities are celebrated in popular culture. Quality, honor, honesty are the dying traits that this nation was built on. They need to be what Conservatives voice fearlessly in the future, regardless.

“... because I’m moving out of this commie-Nazi loving worthless excuse for a state.

I expect many more will leave Ohio now, too.”

Just a couple months ago, we decided to move out of Dayton and back to Austin, Texas. Ohio is a cesspool of laziness because of the promise of gubmint cushion. I choose to rely on myself to support my family.

I am waiting to see the stock market tommorrow.

Look for the market to rally for the next few days. There will be "hope for change" in the air, but it will all be for naught.

Seriously folks, Obama aside for a moment, things are in real dire shape worldwide. Obama pairing with France's Sarkozy will bring the worldwide banking system to its knees.

Jimmy Carter will be looked on as a fond memory once Obama is done with his ideas.

If Ohio was stolen or any other place, the RATS know how to do it and they’ll do it everytime.

We’ll never win the Presidency again..

Plan for your future.
Plan.
Plan.
Plan.
The irony is that I have a much clearer response to an Obama presidency than a McCain one.

1. Don’t spend one dollar that I don’t have to. Go into low-consumption, “upside-down soap dish” mode. New car? Forget it — cheaper to fix what I have. Vacation? Go for shorter, nearer ones than wallet-blowout ones. Banish eBay from my bookmarks unless it’s for the above. Buy movies? LOL!!! Maybe used from Amazon, or not at all. Or just record off cable (capture cards and DVD burners are a WONDERFUL way to stretch your entertainment budget).

2. Invest inside the 401(k) system, but not — repeat, NOT — at the expense of investing OUTSIDE it. If Obama raises taxes across the board, the money supply will tighten and interest rates will inevitably rise. So I’m going to continue buying CD’s in addition to investing in my 401(k). Interest is my friend, and I’m considering writing on a prominently-displayed index card: have I made interest work for me today?

3. Where I must spend money, I’ll be VERY discriminating on where I spend it. Cook instead of eating out or getting take-out. Call me what you will, but from here on I will not be able to look certain people in the service industry in the eye without thinking, “You forced a socialist on me”. So they will receive nothing. Part of this will help me spend less (do for myself rather than pay someone to do for me), part will be to compensate for what they will leech from my wages.

I would VERY much like to see a sticky thread on how to weather the economy of the Left. This is a time for us to support each other with ideas. I remember the Carter years, and I know what they can bring. This is a time for saving like never before.

I pray you are right. I hope they are the first to lose their jobs. Why should a Republican be let go when an employer can’t afford higher taxes. Fire the Liberal.
