Republican Extreme Right-Wingers are Steaming

Will they ever let go? Our system of government provides for a change of office holders, and that's what we, the people, did. It was a long, hard race, and Obama won. He wasn't my choice, and neither was McCain, but it is over, the winner will take the reins on January 20th, and it is our duty to do all we can to see that his administration is a successful one. I think party bickering needs to stop so far as discussing the election goes. It is over, finish, and resolved. Let's take the high road... Sign in to see full entry.

Republicans Killed Themselves

Republicans killed themselves by trying to be less conservative, much less conservative. They paid the price for that lack of conservatism last night in the final count. And now we have a new president promising a new era.

Everyone is in a panic it seems . . .

"It's the economy, stupid..." is a quote from the Clinton years and, in a manner of speaking, that is true. today it is true but in a different sense.

O. J. Simpson Found Guilty

The man just could not keep his nose clean. He got away with one crime and did not "count his blessings" and lead a clean life. I think his self-image as a "do-no-wrong" celebrity is what got him into trouble. He felt entitled to do what he wanted and felt there would be no consequences. Well, Simpson was wrong.
