UPDATE: We’re having some trouble keeping the blog up – please be patient.
Well, I went and voted – and that included voting for a black man…for a district court judgeship, but it shows that any attempts to say my Presidential vote was racist is a crock of you know what.
What I’ve seen ’round the web so far:
Gay Patriot hits a common GOP theme – don’t let anyone discourage you from voting!
Heard Jonah Goldberg on the radio – “cheer up, the worst is yet to come!” Funny but also brings to mind this from St Catherine:
…I want you to think about the shortness of life, for you are not certain even of tomorrow. We can indeed say that we do not have our past troubles, nor those which are in the future; all we have is the moment of time in which we are now. Surely then we ought we ought to endure patiently since time is short.
Black Panther intimidation at the polls. A stray thought came to me about an hour ago – just why, as a nation, are we supposed to keep up this angst over what some of our ancestors did to some of our other ancestors? Why do we even have such a thing called “Black Panthers” and just who the F do they think they are? Give it a rest, already.
We will be judged by how we vote.
Democrats working up voter fraud in Philly to try and save the State for Obama. It worked in 2004. I don’t think it will in 2008.
Marston predicting 310 electoral votes for McCain. Gotta admire the man’s guts, and I pray he’s right.
Colorado is very close – and might not have a result until tomorrow morning.
Just got a “knock and drag” call from Team McCain – advised them we’ve already provided 5 votes form this household for the next President of the United States, John McCain…but shows McCain GOTV is on the spot.
Excellent analysis on the election. Serious, must-read.
Obama votes in the same location as racist, anti-Semite Farrakhan and anti-American terrorist Ayers. Must be some interesting block parties in that neighborhood…
Gawker says first exits show tight races in battleground States.
McCain wins a round in protecting the rights of our servicemember’s to vote:
“We are pleased that the judge has ruled to preserve the ballots cast by our men and women in uniform currently serving overseas. This will help to ensure that local election officials do not destroy or dispose of these ballots before the court has had an opportunity to rule on our complaint. The McCain-Palin campaign strongly believes that no military ballot should be discarded as a result of a failure on the part of several counties and independent cities to mail ballots to service members in a timely manner. We believe without exception that the servicemen and women on the front lines protecting our freedoms deserve every opportunity to make sure their vote counts.” –Gail Gitcho, McCain-Palin spokesman
Team McCain confident about FL – as for me, I said a Rosary, read a bit of the Bible and am now just waiting for the votes to be counted…plus getting ready to have some dinner (beef stew….mmmmm…stew).
Anchoress reminds – Stop Freaking Out
Fox calls the IN governorship for the GOP but says its too close to call on the Presidential level? I mean, think about it – how many Indianans are going to go, “I love my conservative GOP governor, but what I really want is an ultra-liberal President”? Methinks the media is just keeping it interesting as long as possible….
Anyone know why Maine is only showing 3 votes or something like that in its returns?
McConnell wins, Dole loses – net of two for the Donks in the Senate.
Looking pretty grim out there boys and girls…but I have a light heart and am at peace.

Ah, let ‘em gloat while their wallets are still intact. We’d have gloated, no?
Someone once asked me if, when Hitlery was elected President, I was gonna give her the respect of the office. I said, “yes, I will call her President Hitlery.”
Congrats, President-Elect Earbama…
Hey guys,
New website up. Just registered it:
http://www.blogsforlosers.com
Should be up in 24hrs.
Dont worry..it will be a free for all. You all wont have to worry about censorship, etc. However, look for some hard hitting commentary about Mark Noonan and the rest of the Religious Wrong
In spite of the Repugs attempt to suppress the vote (the evidence is overwhelming) they have failed to subvert the electoral process.
If George W had a mandate in ’04, then Barrack had an edict from God.
Face the facts that you are in a very very small minority of Kool-Aid drinking nut cases. I can’t believe that this race was ever even close. Not that the Dems are clean, but the Repugnant’s have brought corruption and divisive politics to a new high (or should I say low).
Mark, get a clue!!! You have no idea of what goes on around you. You are delusional.
I don’t want to hear all your whining as any dissention form the Retardilcans congress was looked upon by you as blaspheme because of W’s “mandate” and that it was the public’s decision. (hehehehehehehe ;-) )
We are about to embark on a road to recovery from the Repugs systematic destruction of our fine country.
May God be with you. God is obviously smiling upon you with this election.
Retired kook:
Get a clue, the country chose an honest person that would put country first over a dyed in the wool politician that sold his sole to the Republican corporate welfare machine.
We can now progress on the road to recovery without the insult of the republican senate and congress getting in the way.
You are going to have a great 4 years. God is looking favorably on you.
Thank God in your prayers. :-)
I see the usual leftist suspects are ohhhh so gracious in victory, the mark of maturity (or lack thereof).

THESE will be your new masas!
Get ready you will soon reap what you have sown!
New Panthers’ War on Whites
Dana DiFilippo, Philadelphia Daily News, Oct. 29, 2008
More news stories on Racial Conflict
Some people wear their heart on their sleeve.
Minister King Samir Shabazz wears his on his forehead. Right between the eyes.
“If you want to stop the revolution, that’s what you got to hit,” Shabazz said, pointing to the target tattooed onto his forehead. “I fight my oppressor, and I give him the target.”
Shabazz is chairman of the New Black Panther Party’s Philadelphia chapter. In black beret atop dreadlocks and a black military uniform, he spends most weekdays near City Hall condemning “crackers” and exhorting black passers-by to rise up against their “slavemasters”—and to give him $2 for the party’s semi-annual newspaper.
He is one of the most recognizable black militants in a city known, since the days of MOVE, for its vocal black-extremism community.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which monitors hate activity globally, listed the New Black Panther Party as among the most active and tough-talking of black-separatist groups.
{snip}
But Shabazz is more blunt in his views:
* On whites: “I’m about the total destruction of white people. I’m about the total liberation of black people. I hate white people. I hate my enemy… .”

What do you think about the poem. I wrote it in May and it was copy written in 06/24/08.

If African American Speeches Did Not Exist
If African American Speeches did not exist.
Then the speech I have a dream
By Rev. Martin Luther King
Would not have become Americas civil rights theme
or
What Frederick Douglass stated
Which would have been a lost
Stand by those princple
Be true to them, On all occasions
In all places, Against all foes
at whatever cost
If African American Speeches did not exist
Booker T. Washington Could not insist
That the laws of changeless justice
Bind oppressor with oppressed
And close as sin and suffering joined
We march to fate abreast
or
Sojourner Truth Ain’t I a woman
Would not have been heard
nor Shirley Chisholm or Rosa Parks
Most eloquent famous words
If African American Speeches did not exist
The different cultures in the world, would not have met
Langston Hughes or Mary Mcleod Bethune,
WEB Du Bois, just to name a few
Thurgood Marshall against the Supreme Court Judges
And now Barack O’bama’s Speech
when he accepted the Democratic endorsement
If African American Speeches did not exist
Where would we be as a society
This poem could not even fit
Because this is an African American Speech
Through the art of poetry

a dyed in the wool politician that sold his sole to the Republican corporate welfare machine.
Sold his “sole?”
I didn’t know Bush was a fishmongerer.
Well, you do have “idiot” in your nic…
