Is that right? Huh.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Every Republican I have talked to today, and heard on talk radio, has said we need to get behind Obama and support him for the good of our country.

You're dreaming.

I was wearing a disguise.

We'll move forward and achieve without them - with Obama firmly at the helm!!

Don't worry about vindictive, hate-filled, morons - they're irrelevant... Let them vent their frustration - but be consoled with the knowledge that they are just spitting into the wind...

Would it hurt to put a little bit of responsibility in your posts or is your intention to smear?
You don't have to say this, but I agree Nomander. Most of us understand that the vocal minority of your party on this board are not representative of the entire Republican party. It is a gross generalization to say that the "idiots" we have here who actually do want America to fail because Obama will be our next president are not the majority. You and many others are certainly not among them. These folks I speak of are not true Americans. True Americans unite in times like these, as McCain so eloquently said.

man can do all things, but not everything is expediant . progress or change for the sake of it is not really change, or progress. i think there are plenty of areas to change, but there are plenty of areas that need to stay the same. history is a beautiful thing. it gives you the path of the future. there are some things that people have carried on there lips for ever, and the lessions havn't been forgotten,haterd, racial ignorance greed and self intrest. but the real lessions that people dont talk about, love, forgivness and hope.these lessions have all but faded away. the question we as a people need to ask is, am i willing to give my rights or even life itself for the good of another.

The phrase "I was wrong" is the hardest thing for anyone to say, next to "I'm sorry."

That's hilarious! You and about 5 others on this board are on the top of my list for investigations if anything happens to Obama.
