Wow. I guess I understand how emotional it must get at an event with the Obama presiding, but wow.

I'm glad that she's found someone to believe in, but I can't help but think that the letdown is going to be rough on everyone.

Yeah I can just imagine how bad it's going to be for the Republicans/Christian Right when Obama wins, you guys will have to start paying taxes and corporations won't control everything. Will you know what do do?

I actually feel sad for you guys, I really do.

Better luck in 2012, the GOP needs it.
The Religious Right is neither.

Oh c'mon. Everyone knows without the Republican welfare state that hands out money taken out on credit from China that the economy will collapse. What will hard working, decent Americans do when they can only afford to buy a Vente cup of coffee at Starbucks 4/5 days of the week?

You do know that nothing good ever comes when one party controls both congress and the president, don't you?

Now it's time to lube ourselves back up and get ready to have the rest of our constitutional rights stripped away by the other side.

If you believe that, you're in need of some serious help. You really think that the wealthiest 1% won't find the loopholes? That's cute, how naive.

Here's a comment in today's BBC "Have Your Say":

I will be voting for Obama because I am a socialist, the repub party does not hold my interests at all, & I am very afraid of Palin - their campaign is a circus. Not sure why this country is so scared to move forward - who cares what this country was built on, many governments, leaders, attitudes have been WRONG in the past & this country was not built with the common man's prosperity in mind as people may think - get real. Forget about that 200+yo ancient document, face the present, reality.

Let's see. For the last few weeks, BO has been running as a: tax, budget, and program cutting pro life friend of Israel candidate. BO will cut taxes like Bill Clinton did.
