A sad night for sure, and looking back over the last eternity it seems, there is one thing for sure, the McCain Campaign didn't lose (he got closer than any other republican could have gotten this time around), the Obama Campaign didn't win, The MSM won.
The Media won its battle for the Hearts and Minds of the American People.
This process began about a year into the Iraq war, when the press systematically began undermining the country, the president and all of our safety with how and what they reported... this built into a movement that had not our countries best interest in mind, but the ultimate outcome of changing the political landscape at any cost...
I'm sad to say, but they Won. The population have been dumbed down to the point that they cannot or will not look past this veil that covers the reality. I pray enough come out of this comma that we only have to endure 4 years of this and come back stronger.... but tonight I can only weep for what is to come.
The MSM whooped us. Hugh Hewitt, just like when he said Mitt Romney was a lock, was wrong when he said the MSM were dead.
Turns out that they live. Like freakin’ zombies they live. It’s like 28 DAYS LATER except with Olbermann and Maddow and Matthews. Oh ya, Matthews running for the Senate. God help us. Him and Franken. BFFs.
And Prince Obama will make sure that the MSM will maintain their stranglehold on the American mind.
Karl Marx
No kidding.
Look at those swing states. McCain either lost by hand full of votes or no more than 3 percentage points at the most.
Gee, ya think the 80% positive adoring coverage of Obama coupled with the relentless negative coverage of McCain played a role in that?
republicans, whats left of us, should totally shun the press. No interviews, no talk shaows, NOTHING!
The MSM is getting it’s monopoly back. :D
Agree 100%. You’ve summed it up accurately.
It’s also an explanation of why the situation will not improve.
Voter fraud was a significant element behind our loss.
They won and they have lost. Obama will be the next President, but the MSM numbers are going down fast and this is good news for us. The MSM sacrificed themselves for Barack Hussein Obama.
Gays lost 4 ballot initatives and are blaming it on Blacks that came out to vote for BO. Do you think they want to go to bat for him again ???
I guarentee you they will push for Hillary in 2012 ...
Plus the RATs in the house will NOT get 260, the Senate will not get 60, the Repugs can cause all kinds of havoc there ... this is going to be fun to watch ...
um... not so fast... Wall street hasn’t voted yet.
I think the MSM made many voters conclude that US is already in a “Great Depression”, like the one during 1930s...
Radio host Larry Elder cited some statistics to show how worse the economy was during 1930s...I don’t think MSM really tried to provide context...

Man, that is hogwash. Did you listen to McCain? I supported John at least as much as anybody here. And I’m going to do what he said. Give Obama the respect he deserves. If he f*@cks up, then we say so. For now, we need unity. The best way Obama will govern from the center is if he is supported by Conservatives, which is clearly what McCain had in mind. You people disgust me. This isn’t a game here. We’re talking about our country and how it’s governed. We expected respect for Bush, no matter what their party. We can give no less to Obama until he shows he doesn’t deserve it. Frankly I liked his speech tonight and what he said about McCain.
Bread and circuses will be the fare of America: American Idol and welfare handouts by the Emperor who is a God, nay Messiah.
Will be a short lived success because they just changed their United States of America into Obama-istan.
HELL won tonight.
Thankfully, it is a temporary victory . . . alas, it may last 7 or so years . . . given the Scriptural outline . . . and we aren’t quite at the beginning of the 7 years, it seems but this has brought us MUCH closer.
I am going to throw up. Cooperate? Conservatives should back Obama!? The Democraps weren’t a loyal opposition. Now we’ll have a government not loyal to the Republic. Why should we lower ourselves and serve these clowns? Let them try to implement their grand vision of socialism... they will fail, because socialism always fails. Let them eat up the blame entirely. The GOP ought to be in total obstruction mode from now on. Don’t give the democraps a chance to blame their failures on us anymore. With all branches D now they can’t hide.
