I wonder if John McCain still knows where Osama bin Laden is.

This conserv doesn't pray for Obama to fail. I pray that he will be able to stand up to the Bidens, kerry's and kennedy's of his party and make decisions that benefit America first.
When he considers amnesty for illegals I pray that he thinks about the many many families of US Citizens who have been hurt by illegal immigration. I hope he calls for laws that punish and punish with extreme prejudice any employer of illegals.
I pray that he will respect our soldiers more than Clinton did.
I pray that he will not place false trust in Europe, and China. They are not exactly our friend.
I hope that he will hold Israel equally accountable as he would thier neighbors.
I pray he will have a long life. I respect him as a man, and I respect his abilities.
That is what this conserv/ libertarian prays for.

Home heating with coal
Tractors and outdoor power equipment
Home improvement

All of the off topic forums are jammed with threads talking about the countdown to doomsday now that Obama has been elected President of the United States. Not exactly a scientific poll, but I think it's a pretty good cross section of America.
Still generalizing no matter how much you want to spin it.

Really good post. Thank you. I hope he stands up as well. The fact that he didn't choose Hillary as his VP when everybody was hounding him about it or he didn't get down and dirty with the mudslinging when everybody (myself included) wanted him to, or when he didn't suspend his campaign when McCain was pressuring him to, told me he has it in him to think and go with his own mind. Now its time to show and prove.

When and if it happens, you will see many Republicans vote for Obama in 2012. It hasn't happened yet and it will take time. While I voted for McCain, I hope AND PRAY that I want to vote for Obama in 2012. That will mean he has done a good job.

Anyway, can you give us any links to support your title of this thread or are you just totally over-reacting and trying to feed us bulls.hit?

Well President Bush was king of the world on 9/12 and he threw it away in pride.

Once again, can you prove that we don't want him to succeed or are you just positing some more bullsh.it like the author of this topic?

Rather than rolling up their sleeves and committing to finding a way to put years of bitter partisanship aside in the face of monumental adversity, they would rather see disaster strike our great nation simply so they can say "told you so." If we cannot come together what can we ever hope to achieve?
Their prayers were almost answered under Bush. They are anything but patriotic. They wave a flag as they destroy the Constitution. They think if we watch the flag we will be too busy to notice what they are doing. I for one will write to ask for a criminal investigation into the activites of the Bush White house. They should be held accountable.

Where did you hear about that? Do you have any evidence for this?
