WHAT WILL TOMORROW BRING?
Vote early, vote often! That’s my motto for today. I’ve decided that after the election, regardless of who wins, I’m going to do my best to follow trail of promises and see if they all come true.
As you can guess by my previous ramblings, I’m not much of an Obama fan. I think he is an inexperienced, ultra-liberal with no new ideas, just a new package. If he wins the election we’re in for a bumpy ride. But in truth, the same is true if McCain wins. America is in for a bumpy ride because we can’t pull together. The Bush White House’s number one enemy was the Democrat party. Think about that for a minute.
Bush’s most problematic foe was his fellow citizens from the oppostition party.
Will the next president face the same fate?
The only thing I can draw comfort from in this election is summed up in an email my friend sent to me recently. To paraphrase it said, isn’t it nice that regardless of who wins the election, God is still in charge. He will still answer prayers. He will still offer his grace and mercy to those who need it.
Boy are we gonna need it.

this article isn’t that surprising. instead of doing some serious soul searching to change the republican party, buck wants to blame the liberals. nevermind the obvious mandate that america gave to washington, to buck, republicans are still right. he still can’t even seen the faults of bush, again, it was those darn liberals.
i don’t think buck actually thought that mccain had a chance in this election. the only way he could have won was if he cheated. buck wouldn’t have followed mccain’s promises because buck only wants to rail against obama. that blirb of bipartisianship wasn’t genuine.
the reason why obama will have such a hard time is because bush ruined america. he left so many problems for the next administration that no matter who won, they would have a lot to fix.
america spoke and resoundling endored progressive ideas. they denounced the smears that came to define the mccain party. they denounced the partisian bickering that stalled washington. buck was right when he said that america couldn’t pull things together, but now there is hope that obama can help heal america.
and is the DEMOCRATIC party. way to respect the other side.

Ok, Moron. I think what Buck said made a lot more sense to those of us not trying to twist peoples words and instead taking things at their face value. Yes, I called you a moron… that was plain as day and easy to comprehend. Now for Buck’s statement, what I read was that Bush made some enemies (we all know that) and the whole Democratic Party, unfortunately, was on that enemy list. I don’t think Buck was saying, “Oh no, the Dems don’t like Bush and their jerks”. No, that wasn’t the message I got. What I got was a simple statement that no matter who (Barack or McCain) won the election, they would have a hard time up against anyone in office. Care to continue?

What I got from it is that God is not surprised about who wins the election…it’s His world. So get over yourselves.

by labeling the democrats as “enemies” to bush it made them seem TO ME that buck was saying that they were the evil and on the wrong side. it seemed TO ME that it was too strong of a word that demonized the democrats and made bush the victim of unwarranted opposition (i emphasized “to me” because this article can be viewed many ways. one side isn’t right and the other side isn’t a moron for their opinions).
i think that america has mandated the progressive message and has refuted the recent conservative ideals. not to say that republicans will have no part in american politics rather that republicans need to rethink their message so it resonates with voters.
people don’t want the bickering and partisanship that has stalled progress. obama wants to bring the parties together to benefit america. he isn’t the ultra-liberal that people make him out to be and can comprimise on issues. that means that republicans also NEED to comprimise. they’re beliefs were refuted by the public so what right do they have to continue to block legislation? they can still have a say in policy, but they won’t always get what they want and need to realize that progressive legislation will be passed.
its unfortunate to see the republican party go down so unprofessionally. some want to alienate those who opposed palin. palin is getting demolished by conservatives who are postering for leadership in four years. all this infighting makes republicans look petty and in denial. its not about what the party/individuals want, its about what america wants. what i’m trying to say is that republicans need to stop the pettiness and need to seriously revamp their message. they have good ideas but are on the wrong track. i hope republicans lessen their stubborness and try and work with obama. if not, they’re brand will become more insignificant.

To The Other Side – Nice response. Please forgive me for saying “Moron”. That was totally unnecessary. Good day!

Try to work with ___________ fill in the blank as you see fit, is just what went wrong with the Republican party. As for Obama, we’ll see. If he turns out to ba as nutty as a fruitcake, though, I hope “The Other Side” will be the very first to appear here and say so.
have a nice day
