Looks Like It Is Over

Well, PA and Ohio have been called, along with NH, NM, and Iowa, I see no path to victory for the McCain campaign.

It isn't a blowout, but it is going to get worse before it gets better.

Looks like two years before we get a chance to change any leadership, four years before Obama is helpd accountable, and SIX Years before we get the chance to get rid of the idiots we just elected to the Senate.

The sole saving grace is that it appears that the Dims will not have their magic 60 seats in the Senate to be filibuster proof.

I predict a very bad four years coming.

President Elect Barrack Hussein Obama. What a country.

I would like to be able to say "I told you so" when new taxes are enacted, or when the the economy suffers, etc. But in the end I suffer also.

BHO's ingenuity continues to astonish me...I never knew it was possible to achieve such incompetence and gain the support of so many adherants. I'm obviously in the wrong business.

I like to refer to them as Moron's, I've already gone through half a bottle of scotch just watching the election unfold. I don't know if I should spit or go blind; you gentlemen know the real saying. There may be ladies present so I'm keeping it clean.

Odd coincidence?

In today's mail I received a certificate for free, VA paid, burial in a local cemetery. Has the eradication started already?

Thought I would offer some comfort to the group. I have spent a day of educating the ignorant and this what I keep thinking to myself.

"The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it" -Thomas Jefferson

One issue that bothers me with most coversations is the shallow justification in rationale as to why individuals vote for certain candidates. Just my .02 though.

What I don't understand is, before I logged onto PS.com, I checked Ohio, and it's for BHO, but only 68% of the precincts have reported in, and at last count, there is only 79,000, votes separating BHO from McCain.

Come on....this is OHIO we're talking about here. Somethings not stirring the Kool-aid, properly here

Damn, this is a creepy coincidence. Yesterday, the army started pushing a medical retirement on me, which also happened to be the day marking my 22nd year in service, and now this happens. Hmmm. Maybe retirement from the armed services isn't such a bad thing now.

how much blame do you really think is going to be assigned to his failings?

The same media that got him elected will protect him
