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.

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

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 predict he will nearly destroy this country by 2012, and then he'll just blame it on the failed policies of GWB, and the sheep who believe in hope will reelect him, and given 4 more years he'll finish the job.

You know this weekend I spoke with 5 BHO supporters, and not one of them were voting on the issues, hell they didn't even know what the issues really are or where BHO stands on them, and these are people I consider friends, they were either voting against the Republican party, or for hope. Unfortunately I think their opinions are a fair representation of the rest of the country. These weren't crazy pinko left wing socialists these were normal everyday folks. I'm not going to say all is lost, but I've told my wife several times in recent weeks we're only one generation away from losing our freedom, well IMHO tonight we just took a huge step towards that place, we're not there yet, but I can see it from here.

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?

I turned it off when they called PA with only 7% of the precincts reporting. The only thing I can say is at least there is a clear winner and we do not have to have to courts decide. As upset as I am about this, I know the sun will come up tomorrow. We are a strong nation, and I truly hope the new President can bring us all together instead of divide us further. In order to do that he is going to have to get Reid and Pelosi to shut their mouths. They are doing more to drive this country to disaster than Obama could ever hope to do on his own.

Good night all, sleep well, and with a lot of hard work we can pull together and get through this, starting tomorrow.

Tell me about it, my girlfriend's family ganged up on her and I about voting for McCain, and their only logic for voting for Obama was because he was for the poor, and Republicans were for taxes.

What followed can only be described as one of the most thorough and absolute verbal ass kickings when I broke down (with logic mind you) how Obama's plan just wouldn't happen like he thinks. They resorted to just saying I didn't know what I was talking about, and that all Republicans are rich....

There you have it. I only hope they have the sand to admit they put him in office if messes up big time.
