Election '08 is over---how has it left You feeling?
I have this knot in the pit of my stomach that will not go away----I have not feel this way since years ago when my uncle and his wife and children were killed in an automobile collision....I am walking around in this surreal state of existence where it is like all just a bad dream----but pinching my arm did not work.
----there is very little consolation knowing that all the smart-alecs who refused to listen to either logic--truth--or reason will one day bitterly regret their decision.----will You please share with us how the aftermath of election '08 has made You feel?
Our Family tragedy left five loved ones dead-----this tragedy will see thousands times that many dead as well as the death of our freedom. The only thing that has us holding on by a mere thread-----congress did not get the super-majority they had sought for or we would have had a impenetrable one party system ruling our nation with an iron fist.

It has left me sick at my stomach! I know this election WAS A SHAM!! States had NOT even finished counting NEAR ALL their VOTES when McCain conceded & Obama accepted! It was all a bunch of bullsh!t! I don't know what Obama or his group said, or did to McCain, but it had to be a biggie! There's NO WAY WITH SO MANY IMPORTANT STATES STILL SO FAR FROM BEING DECIDED, & CALIFORNIA with ONLY 6% of THEIR VOTES COUNTED! & Oregon, Wash. NOT EVEN THAT MANY VOTES % COUNTED! Hawaii HADN'T EVEN BEGAN VOTING! We still had South Carolina, Indiana & another State WAY UNDECIDED, by so far going to McCain!
States like VIRGINIA!! ONLY HAD WHAT 3 or 4 COUNTIES GOING FOR OBAMA, YET THEY GAVE HIM THE ENTIRE STATE! This happened in MANY STATES! That's a bunch of bullsh!t, too! Those counties that went to Obama aren't the MOST POPULATED IN the 1ST PLACE! You go thru Fairfax Co., & the houses are few & VERY FAR BETWEEN! Like the other counties involved, they're MOSTLY INHABITED BY the BIGGER "dogs" from D. C.! I mean the REAL BIGGIES!
I was working the POLLS in FLA, & I'M HERE to TELL U THERE'S NO WAY OBAMA TOOK FLORIDA EITHER!! ALL OUR VOTES WERE NOT NEARLY IN WHEN McCAIN CONCEDED & WE WERE ALL READY to RIOT! We had 10s of 1000s of Provincial, ( Because the Democrat Attorneys at the Polls found some reason why so many couldn't vote regular ballots - if you were REPUBLICAN! I'M SURE THIS RAN INTO the 10s of MILLIONS STATEWIDE), & Absentee Ballots that wouldn't be COUNTED FOR AT LEAST 10 DAYS to 2 Wks., in MY COUNTY ALONE, WHICH IS 1 of the FEW FLA. Co's. who (SUPPOSEDLY!) WENT for OBAMA! BuLL!
OUR State USED PAPER BALLOTS this time, & ALLOWED PEOPLE to EARLY VOTE RIGHT UP UNTIL the DAY of ELECTION, so YOU KNOW THEY COULDN'T COUNT ALL of THOSE, & the ONES from ELECTION DAY that FAST - & McCAIN CONCEDE as EARLY as HE DID!!
The ENTIRE ELECTION was a FLUKE!! WHY? I have my OPINIONS! Here in my county, which is the 2nd largest, only Miami-Dade is larger, they ONLY ALLOWED DEMOCRAT FEMALE ATTORNEYS at * EVERY * POLL TO OVERSEE if a PERSON WAS * ELIGIBLE * TO VOTE!
All of the republican Poll Watchers are SO ANGRY, & WILLING TO TESTIFY TO WHAT ALL THEY SAW HAPPEN at THEIR POLLS... If there was the SLIGHTEST Question that normally wouldn't have even mattered, if it was a REPUBLICAN VOTE for McCAIN, THEY MADE THE VOTER vote ON A PROVINCIAL BALLOT... KNOWING FULL WELL THOSE WOULD NEVER BE COUNTED!!
Don't let anyone ever try to convince you THAT EVERY VOTE COUNTS! That's a LIE! It's DEFINITELY ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, but it's NOW HAPPENING AT EVERY ELECTION! WE NEED TO BAN TOGETHER & MAKE SURE IT'S STOPPED NOW!
We also NEED TO BAN TOGETHER & GET ALL of OUR LOCAL PEOPLE to FORM a HUGE PROTEST, TAKE IT to YOUR LOCAL CITY & COUNTY OFFICIALS, YOUR ELECTION SUPERVISOR, YOUR COUNTY OFFICIALS, YOUR GOVERNOR, YOUR STATE SENATORS, YOUR NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES, & MOST of ALL if you can, this doesn't take a lot of people... GO TO THE MEDIA!! I don't care if you only have a handful of people get those signs out & begin protesting at your county election supervisors office, the country & federal courthouses. Then you'll begin getting media attention.
Make sure you do the research on this so you can have ALL the facts with you! THERE WERE JUST WAY TOO MANY VOTES, I MEN LITERALLY 10s of MILLIONS, or more likely 100s of MILLIONS of VOTES STILL NOT COUNTED, & THEY'RE STILL NOT COUNTED! TO CALL THE ELECTION as EARLY as it was! THESE VOTES WILL NEVER BE COUNTED NOW! To DO SO would MOST DEFINITELY SHOW OBAMA the LOSER & the ENTIRE COUNTRY would IMPLODE as the BLACKS are already CHANTING that THEY'VE WON the PRESIDENCY & the COUNTRY!
I know MY VOTE HADN'T HAD TIME TO BE COUNTED YET! Absentee ballots were STILL COMING IN AS THEY GAVE THEM SUCH A LATE DEADLINE FOR MAILING THEM, or turning them in at the early voting stations!! NONE of THESE WILL BE COUNTED EITHER!! NONE OF OUR MILITARY FIGHTING OVERSEAS WILL HAVE THEIR VOTES COUNTED, & THAT'S A TOTAL DISGRACE!!
So, TO ME, I GOT SCREWED BY the DEMOCRATIC PARTY in the PRIMARY WHEN THEY THREW OUT FLORIDA & MICHIGAN'S VOTES... then HAD THE NERVE TO TAKE the VOTES, LIKE MINE FOR HILLARY, & ILLEGALLY GIVE THEM TO OBAMA AT THE CONVENTION!! They just totally ignored OUR Constitutional rights!!
NOW! WE ALL GOT SCREWED BY BOTH PARTIES FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON by STEALING THE VOTES of 100s of MILLIONS of VOTERS FROM MOST of the STATES IN THE UNION!!
I'M DAMNED MAD ABOUT IT, & SO SHOULD ALL OF YOU BE, TOO!! Why don't we begin a class action suit demanding that ALL OUR VOTES BE COUNTED BEFORE a PRESIDENT IS NAMED!! & THAT THEY ACTUALLY START OVER & HAVE a LOT of ORDINARY CITIZENS LIKE US... of BOTH PARTIES, & NOT ONES JUST ASSOCIATED WITH THE BIG WIGS!! TO OVERSEE the COUNTING!!
I wondered why the Powers-that-Be in my State TOOK US BACK IN TIME, after ALL the NEW, SO-CALLED BETTER VOTING METHODS, to the OLD, REALLY OLD TIMEY PAPER BALLOTS, WHERE YOU FILL IN THE BUBBLES WITH A BLACK INK PEN OR PENCIL!! Then you take it to a machine, mine was watched over by a Democrat man & a Democrat Attorney, where you insert 1-ballot page at a time until the word, "accepted" comes up in a little window. Then you put your ballots into a regular legal sized folder, walk it up to a black barrel like tub at the front & insert it... NO LOCK, NO NOTHING, like before with the automated ones.
I asked who would be taking the ballots to the counting office. I was
Source(s): told it would be the same black Democratic man that had overseen my putting my ballots in the machine so that they would be "accepted". I then asked if there would be a Republican riding with him to oversee MY REPUBLICAN BALLOT... to which I was told, "NO!" WHAT a BUNCH of CRAP! & These WERE PAPER BALLOTS WITH JUST BUBBLES FILLED IN! WE WEREN'T EVEN ALLOWED TO ADD OUR SIGNATURES IN INK! I told them I wanted to accompany MY BALLOT but MY OFFER WAS REFUSED, I DEMANDED a REPUBLICAN POLL WORKER GO ALONG UNTIL THE BALLOTS WERE SECURELY DELIVERED to PROTECT MY VOTES, they again said, NO WAY!! Now you tell me, DOESN'T THIS SMELL LIKE A HUGE DEAD RAT, TO YOU?!! RIGGED!! RIGGED!! I've heard the same things happened in the 3 counties that they "SAY" Obama "won" around Miami-Dade. Then he "supposedly took 1 in the panhandle. THAT WAS IT! LIKE the STATE of VA. if he EVEN TOOK THESE 4 0r 5 COUNTIES, WHICH ANY RESIDENT YOU TALK TO SAYS, THERE'S NO CHANCE IN HELL, HOW DID HE TAKE the ENTIRE STATE?! If he did, in fact take the 3 counties around Miami-Dade we definitely know how he did that... ACORN did THEIR ILLEGAL JOBS WELL!! There's NOTHING DOWN THERE HARDLY but ILLEGAL CUBAN & HAITIANS! I'M here to tell you there's MILLIONS & MILLIONS of THEM & THEY'VE BRED LIKE ROACHES on OUR TAXPAYING MONEY!! THAT'S WHERE HE GOT HIS VOTES THERE! & THEY CAN'T EVEN LEGALLY VOTE! WHY DON'T WE RAISE OUR VOICES SO LOUDLY LIKE THE DEMOS DID IN THE PAST 2 ELECTIONS & GET FoxNews down there, along with a bunch of us & go over their "REGISTERED" VOTERS??!! Miss Diana Good ole Common Sense, a lot of Research... Yep, all you lil' baby minded dems, it's really out there if you take the time to REALLY SEARCH... AMAZING! SouthernBornNBred, Disillusioned Democrat who KNOWS the REAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS DIED & LEFT US WITH THIS, ????.... Well, I can't even think of a name for it, but I know the ground is rocking all over the South, because ALL the GREAT DEMOCRATS who strove so hard to create the TRUE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ARE SPINNING IN THEIR GRAVES!! DON'T Y'ALL FEEL IT! WOW!! I really think we've seen the last of the Democratic Party!! - Anonymous1 decade ago
I wake up every morning screaming "they elected a what for president" I do that more as a joke and it releases stress. After all laughter is good for stress. Even if said laughter is slightly racist. In the privacy of my own home I'm sure it's legal, for now. It made me feel more than anything that the republican party really let me down over the last few years. Obama won by such a large margin because the republicans have taken their citzens for granted. Also, I'm not thrilled with socialism in America. But a few good things came out in this election. Gay marriage was shut out in a mandate in three states. For those of us who prefer the norm of one man and one woman this is good news. Also, the dems did not get a super majority. This is good for everyone because no party should have a blank check there should be a balance of power. It is neat being a part of history and disturbing at the same time. Good luck my friends and relax we wil when back some seats in 2 years. It is America and regardless of how others have felt in the past this country is and always will be the greatest country in the world.
Source(s): I should add that it was not based on race at all because McCain got 4% of the black vote compared to obamas 95% so I don't see any racism in that AT ALL! So thats a good thing. http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/polls/#US... - justgetitrightLv 71 decade ago
Well from what I have seen so far I am still in the "Night of the Living Dead" movie, the democrat zombies are still in a daze and now the head zombie is going to be ruling the country, eh.. make that ruining the country.
Obama promised to change Washington and reach across the aisle, so far I see he is bringing back all of the old Clinton retreads and then selects Rahm Emanuel as White House Chief of Staff.
Wow, Emanuelm, the man that sends dead fish to pollsters and told the Republicans to f--k themself, the one man that just might be more radical than Obama himself.
Is this what democrats call change ? seems to me that the only thing that changed is the name of the President, went from Bill to Barack
(why does that name make me think of a person burping ??)
I for one am going to keep an eye on Obama, as long as he is doing good I will support him but he better toe the line.

You're being crazy, nothing will change. Nothing ever changes, despite all the b******s they come out with during the ridiculously over long election process. Politicians are only ever in it to line their own pockets and don't really want anything to change, as long as they are at the top of the gravy train. Stop thinking that votes mean anything and just get on with it.
The shops will still be full of food, there will still be fuel at the station, and you wont be murdered by rebels. This is much more than a lot of the world's population can say, so stop being a drama queen and be grateful for what you've got.

mostly i feel sorry for john mc cain ,whom i think is a good man and had no agenda other than to serve his country to the best of his ability ,which he has done his entire adult life.he is not an evil man and he's not responsible for the sins of the former administration.
i wish he could have gotten the nomination in 2000,when he was a little younger and more on top of his game ,but the bushes pushed him aside in their haste to elect another of their kin(d).
so i guess he missed his one big chance ,due to several cruel twists of fate.no one could have faced the perfect storm of economic upheaval,the first black candidate ,and the abysmal disapproval ratings of the president and leader of his adopted party.
so loss is what i feel ,a sense of loss for the man ,the country ,and for the soldiers in the field that would have liked to had one of their own calling the shots,something we haven't really had since j.f.k..and worse still,the loss of respect that my boys have to feel in our electoral process upon their first experience as voters.the best candidate was defeated by the most popular,cool one ,that won primarily because of race and the desire of the elite class not to look bad when they travelled abroad.the winner outspent the loser by millions,refused to engage in any real debates and lied about almost everything that he said he stood for ,based on all he has written ,said ,and acted upon in his lifetime.
but america will survive ,the bad news being that the ecomomic policies of the far left will lenghthen the recovory period and in the end they will be tossed out on their ears and the cons will come back in and clean up until such time as they swing left ,and the whole thing will repeat .
so hang in there ,it's not like there is another new world to go to and start over ,we're just going to have to make it here.

I'm w/ you sister! I had feelings of awe, confusion over people's stupidity,disbelief, defeat,and true,deep seated sadness for the American people as a whole.To say I agree people are clearly ignorant,illogal,unreasonable, and untruthful is an understatement.I agree we will regret this decision thoroughly. People fail to remember that Hitler said to the Jews "Trust Me". So, when Obama says "Trust me, I am confident I can fix everything.I find that very frightening".

Didn't vote for Obama but feel an air of change for the United states and in the good way. The reactions of the people to Obama's win told an interesting story. Whether Obama is a good president or not the United States of America has set the world on it head again. Yes there are a lot of people in a surreal state but they will awake to a better society.
- Free ThinkerLv 61 decade ago
I am
1. Disappointed with the outcome
2. Sad for America
3. Glad that its over
4. More determined to share the Gospel and live more closely to God every day.
I know that people will need to learn how to trust God more now than ever. These times are going to exceed human ability to resolve.
Jesus is coming back soon and we need to draw close to Him, hear His voice and obey His direction.

Like I want to kick some ignorant Liberal's in their brains until they get smart, but I am restrained. Evidence in paper, video, and internet didn't work, so what I want to do won't either.
I am not going to wait for them to grow-up, though. I think it might be best to let Obama defeat himself, and the Libs learn from him. YO! Libs, you're not going to get a free check, and you're not going to get free Health-Care either!
Obama did lie,
and Libs will cry,
that after all this,
with his promises of bliss,
they will do more than sigh,
and give up their pie,
and they'll scream why did I,
vote to kiss Freedom good-bye?
The truth always prevails, EZMZ. It will again.
