Now what will we watch on the news, read in papers and on blogs???<BR/><BR/>Laura - everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I respect that you offer yours whether you agree with me or disagree with me or think that I have used racial undertones. Perhaps the post was disappointing to you on that level. Again, you are most welcome to opine and I will post your comment because 1) you are willing to use your name, 2) because I don't anticipate or even expect that everyone is going to agree with everything I say all of the time, but more to the point, 3) because you ARE polite and respectful in your commenting! [I do, though, very much appreciate your compliments as well.]<BR/><BR/>Angela - We will all go forward and hope that our next POTUS is able to lead our Country and do a most excellent job of doing so, whether we like him or not. If we want to see change the next time around we will need to do whatever is necessary to effectuate it.<BR/><BR/>Sheila - Bingo! I was over at an ABC site earlier reading about the parting of Senator McCain and Governor Palin as they leave the campaign trail to go to their respective homes and I read some of the most vile, vicious things you can even imagine in the comments. Rachel Lucas is spot on [as always!].<BR/><BR/>Shannon - The papers, here, have been very much slanted toward and to the favor of Obama since the get go. Interestingly enough I did read an article in the Saudi Gazette the other day that said that even though the majority of the people in the Middle East want him to be POTUS, the leaders of many countries - Qatar, Kuwait, and others - feel that McCain would have been the better choice. If I didn't post on it - I certainly should have. I'll find the link and put it here, in comments, for you. Yesterday and today - headlines scream, "Change" and big half-page photos of Obama.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-87345824636641802832008-11-06T11:25:00.000+03:002008-11-06T11:25:00.000+03:00Hi Sabra -I was wondering what the reaction to the...Hi Sabra -<BR/><BR/>I was wondering what the reaction to the election has been where you are.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Shannon<BR/>SeattleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-16119275701258652432008-11-06T02:53:00.000+03:002008-11-06T02:53:00.000+03:00Okay, so when the Republicans win an election, it ...Okay, so when the Republicans win an election, it was because of voter fraud and black people being intimidated away from the polls and CHEATING!<BR/><BR/>But when Democrats win, it's because "the people of America did the right thing." Of course there was no fraud, no illegal campaign donations, nothing like that with Obama's campaign. Suddenly, all the talk about investigations into the voting process ceases. Interesting.<BR/><BR/>Rachel Lucas is right: they're poor losers AND poor winners. They truly are the obnoxious kids who everyone hated to play with because anytime they won, they rubbed it in your face. The Democrats are gloating, and I say let them. It will be amusing when it turns out that the Candyman... can't. When they realize that all of those promises were the same empty promises spouted by pandering politicians for many years, they're gonna be pissed. And I'm gonna laugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-75077502461496990882008-11-05T17:49:00.000+03:002008-11-05T17:49:00.000+03:00Yeah, I never drink (because I hate the taste of a...Yeah, I never drink (because I hate the taste of alcohol) but last night while I was watching the electoral votes roll in, I went through a pitcher of daiquiris.

You will see 'Green' taxes, a.k.a. 'carbon credits', that will take away more of your God given rights. You will see homosexuality rise to a level never seen before in this country. You will see taxes across the board that will negate your income, so as to hand it to others who do not want to do their fair share. This country will become a more Socialist based one. One in where 'political correctness' will silence all opposition. You will see God taken even further out of the process. Eventually you will see martial law. You will see the ultimate demise of this country and it's people.<BR/><BR/>Doom and destruction is just outside the door, and tonight Americans invited this doom inside...
