I will continue to speak out for as long as I live but I will no longer continue to do so on this forum...

**edit**

You know who I am speaking of...

Your words are accepted and supported here...

And I can no longer accept or tolerate it...

I have heard that a few times.

I will also continue to speak the truth...even though it is not politically correct to do so.

I would have to say I have kept up with this thread since I got home.

I do have to share I asked to African Americans *sounds more politically correct then just Blacks* if they were going to vote. They said no they didnt want to deal with all that junk. I then asked them who they would vote for if they did go. They both answered Obama. I didnt ask for them to explain but they went on to say that it would be a historical moment in history and that they didnt want another Bush in the office *referring to McCain*.

We listened the other day to a clip of Howard Stern who went on the streets and he asked several people who they would vote for. By the voices they were of all types. White, Black, Hispanic. Howard asked a few questions on what Obama is on and then his last question was "so you dont mind Palin being vice president if Obama wins" They all said no they wouldnt mind and to vote Obama Palin...Do they really pay that little attention as to who is running with who???

As for racisim doesnt it go for everything? Yes this would be a moment in history for the black community. However if Obama doesnt win I can probally bet there will be MANY cries of Racisim from all around the US along with possible fights over it.


Obama only needs 95 more votes to win

Ohio is being projected for Obama.

Please keep it respectful! And stop the bickering or we will lock the thread! thanks.

I sat and talked with my son tonight. He is upset about the election results. He KNOWS what this means regarding the things that are important to us. I have felt for years that 9/11 was one of the darkest days in the history of our country. This is worse. Obama will have the ability to shape the Supreme Court for the next few decades. Millions of babies will continue to be slaughtered.

His ability to push through socialistic programs will be unrestrained with the idiots in both houses.

It is a sad, sad day for this country.

Yup.

Congratulations to all of his supporters.

I wish you all were doing the congratulating, but I'm glad it's finally over.

That's a very gracious response, Marshmallow.

Let's hope and pray he will surprise us, MEDC.

Sorry you feel that way Medc. There is much work to be done to get this country back on the right track. I think this could be a step in the right direction. Change isn't always bad. Only time will tell where his presidency will go.

I agree with NMD. That was very gracious of you. We've had our go arounds that last few weeks and I must say I learned quit a bit. You should be optimistic about our future. Regardless of what all the claims where you can see a genuine intent in Obama to make our country a better place. Give him a chance to do that before you write off this presidency. He may just surprise everyone.

No, I think I can go by his words and past voting history to KNOW where it will go. The changes he brings are contrary to everything my family holds dear.

Sadly, my only hope is that he follows in the footsteps of another president(Harrison) and decides to go without a raincoat during a cold and rainy inauguration speech.

As did I. While my memory is very short for the little squabbles that happen on any forum, I have the memory of an elephant for things that truly define a person. I am grateful that this election has afforded me the opportunity to learn more about some here on this forum.

Unless he becomes pro-life within the next two months Marsh, I will consider this a black day.

I read this on another forum, don't know where the info came from, so FWIW:

Let's try and be gracious instead of inflammatory please..

No, but specific changes ARE bad.

I think everyone here is for change.

The problem is, many are divided on how change should occur.

Let's have some real change.

How about the federal government getting a backbone and saying life begins at conception. I don't want a president who says the answer is above his pay grade for such a critical issue. If it's above his pay grade, then why not just say then let's err on the side of caution and say that until we know otherwise, we will work to protect all human life, born and unborn.

That would be real change.

How about a president who says that most of what the citizens want isn't the role of the federal government. Want healthcare? Great, get a job that offers health benefits or devote a portion of your cable TV/cell phone, coffee budget to insurance. It's not the job of the federal government to provide you with health coverage.

And ditto to the thousands of federal agencies that have sprung up, contrary to the constitution that says powers not expressing grated to the federal government are reserved by the states.

Real change would be for the federal government and the president as the leader of that government to go to work dismantling anything that is not constitutional and sending those responsibilities back to the states to resolve.

I'm not afraid of change. I'm afraid of more of the same. If what we've seen is so bad, why do we want more.

Both Obama and McCain is more of the same. The same has been bad, so wouldn't more of the same be just as bad?

Of course.

Change is good. Neither one of these clowns offers change. Just variations on the same theme. The current choices are Red Same or Blue Same. Both are still the same thing.

Sorry cannot contain myself
This is one of the most exciting moments I have ever witnesses.

Simply Amazing ...
Congratulations America ... You did the world proud!!

Senator McCain is making a very gracious concession speech. His supporters can be proud.
