I received a link to this hilarious video from a good friend. Enjoy.


Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are

Seeing the glass half full

Don't insult my intelligence and give me any of this "but the election is over - now is the time for us to all just get along" crap.

Two things 1) Letting down our guard is exactly what the Democrats would like for us to do and

2) Yes, let's follow the Democrats example and all join hands and sing kumbayah - just like they did (both times) when Bush was elected, right?

Yes, it's a great day for the country when we can mobilize a record number of uninformed voters and elect a president on the vagueries of "Hope" and "Change". And I honestly am glad that we've reached a point where a (half) black man can be President of the USA. But you don't see BO wasting any time basking in all the warm fuzzies so there is no reason that we should waste time, either.

I don't want you to misunderstand me. This is not sour grapes because my candidate lost - I am a conservative. For those that don't realize it, conservatism didn't lose this election. There was not a conservative candidate on the ballot.

Which is why I see the glass half full. Yes, I did vote for McCain but that's only because he was the lesser of two (major party) evils - NOT because he's a conservative - he isn't.

Immediately after the election, McCain aides started to smear Sarah Palin. Who benefits from this? Moderate or "centrist" RINOs (Republican In Name Only) because they are scared. (And, as Rush Limbaugh pointed out, incompetent campaign aides that want to work for these RINOs in future campaigns and they're trying desperately to hide the fact that they are the architects of defeat.) The RINOs are scared of an honest to goodness conservative (Sarah Palin) that electrifies the conservative base (Sarah Palin), has a record of fighting corruption (Sarah Palin) even against her own party (Sarah Palin) and [when she's not boxed into a corner by RINO handlers but is actually allowed to be herself] is very competent on the national stage (Sarah Palin) and they know it.

Now the glass is half full because now is the time to revitalize the conservative base of the Republican party. More on this later.

We don't have to spend the next four years apologizing for RINO McCain. I told a co-worker that we can look forward to the shocked looks on the faces of the Obama voters as they slowly come to realize just exactly what they have voted for.

We're gonna come out of this thing alright. At least that's my opinion. btw, gun sales nationwide are at record highs - if you don't already have your gun, you probably shouldn't wait any longer to get it.

The Polls - It Ain't Over Yet

I sort of follow the webcomic xkcd. I follow it in a completely non-linear way because it's a very non-linear webcomic. I like to look at whatever comic is current and then hit the "Random" button. No, i didn't know what the letters stand for but now I (wiki) do.

They just recently hit comic #500 . Since this one is a political cartoon (most of them aren't) I googled the punch line of this particular comic.

I got 254,oo results for 2012 and over 65,ooo results for 2016. But even funnier is this article about the results of Election 2024.

Promises, promises, promises.

BO has promised:
He’ll fix immigration.
Offshore drilling will be okay.
Healthcare for all.
Abortion will not be federally funded or mandated.
Lower taxes for 95% of Americans.
Iraq war will be over soon.
He will negotiate with Iran with no preconditions.
A $3000 tax credit to employers for each new employee.
We’ll be able to keep all our guns.

BO is already being tested:
Russians have stated that they will place missiles on Poland’s border (1st time since Cold War).
Hamas has fired into Israel.

And the man hasn’t even had his first security briefing yet.

Will the Networks Keep Their Promises?

The three major TV networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) have agreed to not "call" the election until after all the polls have closed.

According to a spokesman for ABC, the network will only give it's "projections" but it will be careful not to "call" the race.

I just hope that nobody is surprised by this little bit of semantic "business as usual" from the networks.

The ACORN doesn't fall far from the tree.

"a sad example of a pattern of systemic voter fraud"
"why is Barack Obama so closely linked to a group undermining the most important right we have - the right to vote"
"ACORN is under investigation in over a dozen states"
"registering dead voters"
"duplicating voter registrations"
"exchanging voter signatures for money, cigarettes and crack cocaine" (let's add to the list for the investigations distribution of illegal substances)
"Obama has trained ACORN workers"
"this year alone Obama's campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN"



Does Barack think that registering dead voters is some form of being "culturally sensitive" to the Hispanic community on Dia de Los Muertos? (Day of the Dead for you Gringos)

And a bonus video - Joe Biden says...
"I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you and I'd be delighted to sit down and compare my IQ to yours"
(in Delaware) "you cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent"
"you don't know my state - my state is a border state" (is he talking about Delaware or Pennsylvania?)
"there's obvious differences [between me and Sarah Palin] she's good lookin'!"
(asked if Sarah Palin won) "that's obviously a backwards step for women"

A Black Man Speaks

Okay, I'm gonna warn you - I don't have a *clue* what the LAST 45 seconds of this video has to do with the Barack Obama and it's gross so you might want to stop the video at about the 6:13 mark.

Even with that caveat, the first 6 minutes is really worth watching. This is a man who can speak for himself.




See what I mean? Between this guy, a friend of mine and a preacher I saw on the internet I know of three black men that WON'T be voting for Barack Obama. (we'll see how the rest of the country shakes out on Tuesday)

An Historic Election

Yesterday (the last day of early voting here in Texas) my wife and cast her ballot. She researched the candidates ahead of time and when she got to the voting booth she was able to vote "Straight Party".

Wow. Her first election and she does something that I've never done in all the elections I've voted in. I'm telling you, I married a smart lady!
