Comment:
Bush was a wonderful president you are a hateful person.
When I read these awful words on your blog, I think no that you are disgusting.
I hope you have a terrible week

Hey Malkin! What was that you were saying about UnHinged Liberals?!?!?! 😆 😛

I should write a book, I could be rich! I’ll call it “Neo-Conservatives UNHINGED!”, I’ll make a mint! 😆

Wonderful President? Was he wonderful when he played the part of Democrat Lite and propped up our banks?

Takes all kinds, I guess. 🙄

Congratulations to President-Elect Barack Obama

grant_park_17

I am just now writing about this. I apologize. I did not get in the bed till 3:00 in the morning.

It is done; Barack Obama, by a fair and democratic election has been elected to the office of President of the United States of America.

I did not vote for him. I voted my Libertarian principles; however, I could not be more pleased by this man’s election to the office of President of United States of America. Why? Let me explain. It is not lost on this writer, that the Republican Party, in the last eight years, has become enamored and fully entrenched with Neo-Conservatism. It is this writers opinion, that Neo-Conservatism will be credited with causing the Republican Party to lose this election.

It is no surprise that anger, fear and finger pointing have began with the Republican Party. It is this writers opinion that all of this will be for nought, including a huge meeting of the minds, unless the Republican Party stands up and expels the Neo-Conservatives OUT of the Republican Party. These pro-war, ex-democrats are the cancer that have caused the Republican Party to be marginalized.

The Republican Party needs to be punished, and punished harshly, for one; electing a President based upon family name. For two; for allowing a President to take a nation to war based upon flimsy intelligence, without demanding to see more inclusive evidence supporting the claims of the President and his administration. For three; for allowing a President to trample upon the one document that this writer holds dear, The United States Constitution. Not to mention the many cases of corruption, the fact that John McCain and the entire Republican Party ran a election campaign based upon fear, instead of facts. The American people are just not that stupid, they know when they have been duped, and they just were not going to be lied to again.

Not to mention the many cases of blatant and subtle racism that took place during this election. Yes, I know, there was much of it on the left too. But does that excuse the fact that Conservatives partook in it? No. it does not. Republicans and Conservatives are supposed to be better than that. The Republican Party is the party, of whom Abraham Lincoln came from. The same Abraham Lincoln that said:

I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be “the Union as it was.” … My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free. – A letter to Horace Greeley, editor of The New York Tribune – August 22, 1862.

Do you now see why it upset me so much, when I saw Republicans acting like Democrats?

Having said all the above, I congratulate President Elect Obama. I will continue to Blog about Politics, I am not going anywhere, I will praise him for the things that I agree with, I will criticize for things that I do not.

As I said at the beginning of this piece, I did not vote for him, but he is my President and I will respect his office. I encourage others to do the same.

It is truly a new day in America.

The Scene at McCain’s Camp

This is pretty sad.

Via The Weekly Standard:

Phoenix, Arizona — A somber mood here at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, where Republicans, dressed in their best Indian summer cocktail attire, are gathering to hear John McCain concede to Barack Obama. Jim Woolsey was seated below a mounted television in a crowded bar when Fox News projected Obama as the winner of Ohio. The crowd let out an audible gasp and lots of head-shaking ensued.
Fifteen minutes later, after many of those seated on an outside patio had ordered another round of drinks (if you are drinking beer, you are drinking a Budweiser product) an effusive young McCain supporter was watching an outdoor television with strange attentiveness. Someone asked him what he was doing. “I’m waiting for them to reverse Ohio,” he said with misplaced optimism.
McCain advisers I’ve talked to have been matter-of-fact about the situation. They’re plainly disappointed, but they’re sad about it in much the way that one might expect at the loss of a loved one after a long illness. It was certainly expected.

Current Electoral count:

Obama 207 – McCain 135

Sad, But I cannot say it is not deserved.

New Black Panther Party intimidating voters in Pennsylvania

Story on Fox News:

Via Fox News:

Intimidation tactics, missing ballots and faulty machinery are plaguing voters descending on polling stations to choose between Barack Obama and John McCain.
In Philadelphia, FOX News’ Rick Leventhal received a report from Republican poll watcher Chris Hill that two Black Panthers had stationed themselves at the door to a polling station and were intimidating voters. One held a night stick, Hill said.
Hill told FOX News that he went to talk to the men and they told him white power didn’t rule there.
The man reportedly carrying a night stick was escorted away from the polling station by police, and FOX News found another Black Panther outside the station who said he was a certified observer. Police asked him and the FOX News crew to leave the polling station.

I feared stuff like this happening during this election. The last thing we need right now is reactionaries doing crazy stuff like this. I fear what might happen, if Obama should lose.

Something tells me that this is going to be a very long day and quite the long night.

State News: Supposed Voter intimidation in Grand Rapids, Michigan

(H/T RightMichigan.Com) (via Twitter)

The report comes via The Grand Rapids Press:

Republican poll challenger James Saalfeld reported violations of election rules at two Grand Rapids polling places this morning by people campaigning to oust Supreme Court Chief Justice Clifford Taylor.
One man handing out literature for Taylor’s challenger, Democrat Diane Hathaway, stood well within 100 feet of the entrance to Eastern Avenue Christian Reform Church, Saalfeld said. The man was wearing an United Auto Workers jacket. Others violated the same 100-foot rule at Sigsbee Elementary, he said.
“It seemed like they knew. It was almost like they were testing the waters to see if anyone would challenge them,” Saalfeld said.
Saalfeld, a Grand Rapids Township board member and local attorney, is monitoring polling places with attorney Tom TerMaat. Both men, credentialed as challengers through the Republican Party, are charged with alerting precinct captains if they see a violation.
“We’re just trying to make sure the rules are followed and everybody gets a fair shot at voting without interference,” Saalfeld said.

I can see the point here. While I have my personal reservation with Republican poll challengers, as I feel it is a form of voter intimidation; I think that the election laws should be followed in any election. This ensures fairness for all.

Let’s keep this election above board. We do not need another 2000 or 2004.

Live Blogging the Election, On Twitter

I will be live Blogging my reactions, feelings and just overall being a smart mouth on twitter.

You can follow me, by going to my twitter page, by going here.

I will also post things of interest here, throughout the evening.

Your Host goes to vote.

Yes, I did go vote this morning. Yes, I did take the Camera. First the pictures:

And…. Off we go!

I didn’t think there would be many cars at the voting precinct, well, needless to say, I was very wrong! Surprise

Did I mention that there were many cars? Hee hee

Of course, the propaganda masters were out. But I took the bypass to get away from them. Tongue

The line was LONG…. But it moved very quickly, people were very friendly, as friendly as one can be at eight O’clock in the morning. Sleepy Yawn Hee hee

The line moved very quickly, the voting staff was very professional. They even verified my voting information while in the line. Big Grin

Of course, a trip to a public school to vote, would not be complete without exposure to liberal propaganda. Rolling Eyes Yes, let’s study and celebrate Multi-Culturalism. Translation: Let’s be ashamed of our ethnic heritage, be ashamed of our forefather mistakes, and embrace Illegal Aliens in our country. Raised Eyebrow I think not! Phbbbttt

Well, those were the pictures that I could take. I was not allowed to snap photos inside the voting area, Which is understandable. I had one moron who snarled, “I don’t want any pictures taken of me!” ( Rolling Eyes ) I said nothing. Dont tell anyone I wanted to tell him not to worry, because he was nothing I wanted to photograph anyhow. Devil Let’s just say that I did not want to break my camera. Hee hee Tongue

Some things that I saw that stuck out in my mind. An elderly man, who was easily every bit of 75 or older, barely able to walk; who walked with the assistance of a cane. Who came out to vote. I believe that this election is that important to people. Which is absolutely amazing.

The precinct did have plenty of ballots, the line moved very quickly. There were no hassles at all. The election staff here was very friendly. There was an election ballot challenger, he was from the Republican Party. (Surprise there boy!) He was eyeballing the people voting. I somehow doubt that he is going to find any problems around here.

I am glad that that I went early. Because I believe had I waited, I would have been in line much longer.

For what it is worth, I did vote a straight Libertarian ticket this year. Last night, I did have some second thoughts about it, I did consider voting for Obama, however, principles won out over emotions.

It will be an interesting today and this evening and I will be here Blogging on the interesting stuff.
