I voted for McCain

[ThePresence]

And I would again, if he were running against an unknown such as Obama.
However, I must say I have never seen such emotion, such an outpouring of fervor for a man. I missed JFK, so I have never seen a man able to move so many so much with his words. He has an inborn power to move people, even if he were white. It's not his color, it's his skill and talent. I am fearful of what he will do but I hope he does well. All Americans should hope for that, regardless of party and color.

I also voted for McCain based on policy and attitude towards the issues and I don't care what a person looks like. I also remember history and the deep recession that preceeded the great depression. When the dems instituted their policies it pushed this nation into the great depression. Since most of them don't remember what happened last month they'll do it again. I do hope that Obama doesn't take us down that path again but his stated ideas are the party line. With dems holding power across the board I can only wonder how long it will be before it happens.

It's hard to correlate what might happen now with what happened 80 years ago, if only because the parties have changed a lot since then, but whatever might have happened with the Great Depression, our current economic problems came about after a government mostly presided over by the Republican party. That seems like a more immediate factor. And while I'm not sure the Dems can fix our current problems, I trust them more than the party that caused these problems in the first place.

 

[Kaieye]

Me, too!

But Obama won and I will support his presidency. I know our taxes will go up. I don't mind paying more taxes but government seems to spend it unwisely or
needlessly.

 

[Moonbeam]

Only Obama could bring real change. Now we will see if he does or if the frozen fear of paranoia holds us in place.

 

[ScottyB]

I voted for Obama. Last time I voted against Bush.

[SparkyJJO]

I voted for McCain too, not that Obamanation

 

[eleison]

Yes.. Finally, a fellow McCain voter God it was terrible in Chicago -- I felt like I was the only McCain supporter. Everybody seems to be sucking on Obama's c*ck..

Oh, well, coming from a socialist country; i think the next 4 years is going to suck. However, as long as "they" don't start rounding people up, I guess I'm ok. Let the grand social experiment begin!!!

oh, yes, I voted for McCain also

Yes, Dave, his post is utter historical nonsense. He needs to read some history of the 1920's.

It's scary what some people believe....

My heart was broken this morning. Not because Obama was elected president, but of the way ?Christians? are reacting to the news. God?s word calls us to lift up our leaders ? regardless of their political race.
I was praying on the way to work this morning ? praying for our new president-to-be and America. When I was done, I turned on the radio to a local Christian radio station and just listened to what was being said. The radio hosts ? bless their hearts - were doing their best to remind us as Christians what we are called to. We are called to simply trust in the Lord. I began to sob in the car and I really don?t even know why. I?ve never been this emotional about politics before. But I truly believe the Lord was breaking my heart. The radio hosts were talking about how some of their closest ?Christian? friends are being so terribly bitter and angry toward the results of the election. My heart broke! A woman called into the show and expressed that she had voted for McCain and how terribly sad she was that America had lost sight of what really matters on issues such as human life, marriage, and stem cell research.
I don?t think I really grasped what America has come to until this morning. Aaron and I were talking a couple weeks ago about how it seems that American?s ? especially the younger generation ? think ?it?s cool? to be liberal and forget about everything this country was founded on.
Again, I am not upset that Obama was elected president. I vow, as a Christian, to pray for him as I would any president. The thing that saddens me is how ?Christians? are reacting, and how Americans just don?t seem to care about moral issues. I think that?s why I was sobbing on the way to work today. I truly believe the Lord was breaking my heart and reminding me more than ever, that in today?s world, it?s time to be BOLD and to stand for what is right!
The radio host said something that I want to send out to all of you. He said, ?America may have a new president, and he may not stand for the issues we as Christians stand for, but we still have a King! And He is seated at the right hand of God!? Amen!
Please join me in lifting up in prayer our country, and our new president, Barack Obama, remembering the Lord is still in control!

You talk as if Christian morals and the only morals that are right for everyone. Americans care a whole lot about moral issues. They are just fed up with socially conservative moral issues. Your "morals" are why my child may not have insurance in a few months thanks to bullshit amendments like amendment 2 in FL and amendment 8 in Cali. Stuff like that is why evangelicals are losing. Your time is coming to an end. Shape up or ship out.

If you want to believe and follow your sets of morals then please do, but keep them the hell out of my family and our government. You wouldn't like it if I imposed mine on to you from a legal government stand point. Why do you feel that it is your right to do that to me? Don't you believe in equal rights and liberties for all Americans?

So those of us who voted for Obama don't care about moral issues? I don't care for how most *Christians* (not what I would call them) force their beliefs on other people. Didn't God give us a choice in this world?

WTF ARE YOU SMOKING?

Republicans were in control from 1920-1932, THEN FDR got in for the Dems to try to clean up the fucking mess.
Almost everytime the Repubs are in power for too long, the shit hits the fan. READ HISTORY, BUDDY. HOLY SHIT, IGNORANCE.

I just hope the radicals don't start bombing more than just abortion clinics. Religious zealots can be very irrational. They ram planes into buildings, run into crowds with explosive strapped to them, all manner of insanity. I hope they just stick to the praying, that is a positive thing.

When you know the beauty of love you know the fear that love can be destroyed and washed away. And when fear arises so does hate and irrationality. But these ARE the enemies of love. You do not have to believe in God to experience this. To be alive is to bear the crushing weight that the loss of love can bring. All our hearts have been broken and all of us are on the cross. You have a Savior in Christ who is there if you have faith. I have no faith. I lost everything that can be taken and in that way I came to the same place. Love is what cannot be taken. Love was, is, and always will be. If you suffer you will not suffer. Your tears are born out of life. I love Christians who love.

Sir, I didn't mock you or God, I asked you a few questions. This is a forum for discussion, or are you just here to judge?
