And the new Pres is......

Yeah, but it was only cause you were in a hurry to get to your corner...

I really have trouble following your posts sometimes Dave, but here's what I got out of that:

Tomorrow I'll still be here doing what I can.


Have all what then? (no idea what you meant there.)

All the things listed in your post that you still have today. Are you going to have in the future?

I didn't just bitch, I debated with (and yes, occasioanally jabbed at) rational people of opposing opinions like Linda, Shea, and Chris.
And I campaigned and voted to change the direction the Bush administration took this country.
That's what we do in this country. We debate, argue, rally, and ultimately come together to try and build the country that we want.

Me too.

To quit what? (no idea what you're getting at.)

Are you going to quit bitching about politicians? You got what you wanted "the one" by coming together and complaining about everything that is wrong with the world and how its Bush's fault. I was just wondering if you can quit or has it become an addiction. (I guess this goes out to all the complainers out there.)

That emotion was of hate and loathing, but also hope. It was painful. I also remember the feeling of hope as my parents never showed their children what it was like to be prejudiced...everyone was a human being in our world and deserving of respect.

The real wonderment right now, that is affecting me at this moment, is the idea that a dream has actually been realized in my lifetime. After all the naysayers, all the put-downs, all the negativity...one ideal has actually won out. That's the pixie dust I can see.

Aside from that, I certainly hope Obama has the strength to weather the huge storm that's been created. I know he's going to need a whole bunch of support. I'm curious to see who he appoints to help in this presidency.

On last night's speeches...McCain was gracious. Obama didn't miss a beat in reminding us, we've got a huge mountain of problems to overcome. It can happen when we all work together...that is something people need to come to grips with.

1: +1 On everything quoted!!! Thanks, MtnAir for reminding us what is important is mutual respect, cooperation, and recognition that some things are able to be accomplished only with a great leader and lots of backup.

2: McCain earned my respect last night with his concession speech.

3: To all those who voted for McCain, Obama said last night that your voice will still be heard. I hope you hold him to it, but only if you choose to speak up rationally, intelligently, and with class. This thread is pretty much an example of the type of discussion that shouldn't be heard (and doesn't deserve to be).

I am going to miss Palin though. It won't change anything day to day until Obama starts turning us socialist.

Move to Alaska.

It won't be long ...The Media Honeymoon for Barrak and Michelle will be short lived.

So they (media) will be feeding on them.

Gads isn't that the truth!!!!!!!!!! I say it will start by tonight's 6 o'clock news!!!!

[Sortarican]

Oh my god I think I love you more than my new Prada Boots!!!! May I please violate you now??????

Right back at ya Sunshine!
(Except I don't have Pada boots, mine are Farragamo I think.)


+1 on the Senate.
I might actually have to vote for a Republican next time through just to keep the checks and balances in place.
(Holy Shit, did I just say that?)

[DavidofColorado]

That's a pretty funny comment coming from somebody who was lobbying for a set of hand-me-down leathers all of a couple months ago.

Jeff could buy and sell you.

Old shit. And its been debunked too. Jeff doesn't wash any of his cars.

I gave up those leathers so piliot could have them. Damn selective memory. I have never made it a secret that I am poor. Hell I love it. But it looks like Jeff already bought a yesman what does he want with me?

[MetaLord 9]

Gads isn't that the truth!!!!!!!!!! I say it will start by tonight's 6 o'clock news!!!!

Any bets on how many times we're going to hear the words "honeymoon" and "political capital" over the next several months?

Yes you did. At least I'll have some company in the camps...

[mtnairlover]

This thread is pretty much an example of the type of discussion that shouldn't be heard (and doesn't deserve to).

Yeah exactly.

Funny how I get put down every time I sound like a naive dreamer, but with what the majority of Americans said yesterday is that it's ok to dream and work to make it reality.

Ha! I say more pixie dust!

[Snowman]

Months? Like the next 48?

[Shea]

Yeah exactly.

Problem is, my dream is different then your dream and the tension that results when those dreams come into conflict.

[Sortarican]

Yes you did. At least I'll have some company in the camps...

Bring a cribbage board, we'll play cards through the barbed wire.

[puckstr]

Holy Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick.

I just had an epifinaty..... What is worse than loosing the Presidential election?

Winning the Presidency. Can you imagine that stressful job? That would suck.

No thanks. So maybe McCain really did win? Anyway the real winners are anyone that is NOT the president that has to dig the US out of this mess that BUSH made.

[dirkterrell]

The opposite is true as well (trickle-down economics?).

Who creates the tension, Shea? You? or me? It's only tension when someone refuses to compromise. This isn't about you and me. This country was built on "us" and "we".

[MetaLord 9]

Who creates the (sexual) tension, Shea? You? or me? It's only (sexual) tension when someone refuses to compromise.

I like your comment better this way, Cathy! love it when you talk dirty...

you ninja'd me (mentally)

We should make a drinking game out of it. Every time we hear honeymoon we take a shot and every time we hear political capital we drink from our beer. We will will be drunker than the drink when Pirates of the Caribbean does something gay game.

[mtnairlover]

dammit...there goes my train of thought...

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

Ok, that's it. I'm running for President in 2012.

Dirk

Now THERE'S a Prez I can support, regardless of party!

[636chick]

Yes you did. At least I'll have some company in the camps...

Bring a cribbage board, we'll play cards through the barbed wire.

I have electronic sorry Hmmm I wonder if they will supply batteries in the camps????

Holy Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick.

I was thinking last night when I was watching his speech that he looks so young and hopeful................I wonder what he will look like after 4 years?????? Bet's are not good!!!!!

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

Our new president, Obama Bin Laden. Niiiiiice......

[dirkterrell]

He will reach across the aise and bridge the bondaries that seperate us.
Bringing Japanese, Italian, German, and yes even American, bike riders together for a better, brighter future!

Dirk 2012....Change you can ride 2-up on!

Amen brother! There's my election manager.

LOL,
Wasn't it in Hitchhikers Guide that the President had half his brain removed in order to better fit the office?
Dirk could always do something like that.

I need to work on my landings. I always seem to land on my shoulders.

Or a couple SpiderBob head bumps at the track and he should be able to drop down enough that Joe Plumber can identify with him

I used to be a plumber, you know. Came in handy last night when I had to replace the control valve on my water heater.

I will bring this nation together!! Plumbers and astrophysicists will eat their bologna sandwiches together at the Hubble Space Telescope control consoles.
