BillsNYC Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 As a McCain supporter, I say congrats to President Obama. One thing I pledge, is that unlike the immature anti-Bush crowd I will respect him as the President. I won't always agree with him, but I'm not going to waste the next few years being miserable like some the last 8 years. I'll applaud him when I feel he does something right, and protest when I don't. We live in the greatest country in the world and I am proud to live in a country with record breaking turnout and look forward to seeing "change" that obviously this country wants. So congrats Obama supporters, and stay positive for the next 4 years McCainiacs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will also be very interesting to see what the 'test' is that Biden was speaking about , and very possibly dangerous one for the citizens.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 What the Republicans need to do is return to Goldwater/Reagan conservatism. Come back strongly conservative in 4 years and I think they'll rebound nicely. I believe Obama will crash and burn in the face of foreign aggression. He's just TOO weak on foreign affairs.

What the GOP needs to do is to get rid and silent the evangalicals and the folks who believe there is one single issue. The GOP of Eisenhower is what is needed not the GOP of Reagan since it was Reagan that let the right wingnuts out of the bag. Eisenhower was about balanced budgets, fiscal conservatism and keeping out of these foreign excursions that sometimes are mislabled as war.

"Wingnuts." Love that term. Read: "Someone who's farther right than I am socially, so they MUST be nuts." What then are the Obama-freaks? They're strange to me, yet I don't have a nifty catch-all for them. Just as well, I suppose, I have 4 years to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer860 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 McCain should breath a sigh of relief . The country is on a downward spiral and its not over yet. Obama will have his hands full ,thru no fault of his own. The polictial situation has been a disaster for many years. However as usual in the great country the people will rise to over come. God Bless Obama and McCain.They are exceptional individuals to reach this level of politics in the country. I am sure the world watches with amazement at our political process.

Anyway, congrats to the new President. the problem is that any GOP who is thinking about 2012 will have to deal with Caribou Barbie and the Limbaugh listeners and others that follow like sheep. Whomever it is they need to force the focus on fiscal conservatism however move socially moderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zona Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I ,too, think times will get worse before they get better. I wonder who will take the blame then, since the Dems control everything now? I wish President Obama well. I hope the "change" will help. I fear for the future. I am disappointed in my fellow Americans. How soon we forget...

And you base this on him just being elected tonight??? I am a Democrat but trust me, I wanted Bush to be a good leader. If you love your country, you should hope that the leader of this country does the best job they can, regardless of party. It is more important to have great leadership than be right on a message board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will now reap the rancor they sowed. Unfortunate, but they started our country down the path toward permanent division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are disappointed because America, one of the most diverse nations in the country, can together across racial, age, economic lines to elect the 1st African-American President in US history??? I weep for you and your ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
