Why? So we could eliminate any means of checks and balances in this country and let Obama and the Dems run wild on the country?

It would be truly scary to see this nation in 4 years if the Republicans lost the filibuster.

I hate that the race card is being played, no matter what you all say it was. I am a firm believer in that the whites do not owe the blacks nothing. The only poeple we should feel sorry for is the native americans. They were the ones who really got screwed.

My life has been fine the last 8 years.

To say that either party should have control of both houses, the president, along with a filibuster-proof majority would be a scary thing for either side.

Ya wouldn't be able to complain that no one could get anything done tho...

wow... what a shock.

Think McCain woulda won if he had 95% of the white vote, instead of just 55% ??

Let's see what other numbers stand out.
The ONLY age group that favored McCain was 65+.
The only education group that favored McCain was ... NONE.
People who WEREN'T first-time voters favored Obama.
People who earned $75,000 or more favored Obama.

Folks, face it.... McCain lost, and it wasn't because Obama is Black (since he's not).

A lot of ppl. said he would LOSE votes because he wasn't black enough, being interracial.
Guess what? (enough of) America has moved past that.

Here's why McCain lost - plain and simple. Publicity.
The Dems rode a wave while the Repubs got drowned in it.

It started with the convention and the drama with Hillary, which never happened.
They McCain lost his time in the spotlight because of the weather.
McCain used too many attack ads when he should have been telling us something.
McCain made the mistake of saying he backed W 90% of the time ... BAD move when W's approval rating was tanking.
McCain picked a running mate specifically to try and get the Hillary supporters who said they wouldn't vote for Barack.
McCain picked a running mate who seemingly abused the power of her office.
McCain picked a running mate who sounded like she was a cow who wanted to go to Cali.
(I am REALLY surprised that no one else has made that cheese connection, don'cha know.)
McCain tried to ditch a debate for no reason.
McCain DID ditch Letterman for no reason.
McCain's party was in charge during the big gas price spike AND the big financial crisis.
McCain seemed to do everything he could to give Obama an edge and he STILL lost by just 5 points.

So... qui'cha beachen already, bend over, and take it like a man for the next 8 years.

Dang, that was a unessacery rant. Be careful before you get a hemorroidal flareup.

**oakland_raiders** · November 5th, 2008, 03:36 PM

here is my theory....i voted for mccain only because of the whole past of obama and all that crap about islam and muslim and all those ties to people i know it still scares me about all that stuff but that being aside...I HATE POLITICS!!!

we will see in 4 years from now where this great country is we may be riding high and everything might shake out to be ok who knows but i dont think so i think both men suck and neither will do sh*t i mean where is obama going to get all of this money to do all this great stuff...the money is not there and i just dont think either man was qualified to run the country i just dont see things getting any better i see it being the same and probably worse...i mean the economy is crap and could possibly be heading farther down anybody that does the stock market and reads charts can see that the dow has the potential to be heading down to 45oo points easily and that is scary obama will be facing some tough decisions within the first year and that will either make or break our country and who knows i may be wrong and he may be a good leader but i say we will find out within the first year
