You mean one who won by 6.8% in popular vote
That's pretty legitimate if you ask me.
Popular vote
You know Obama did not win by a landslide of the popular vote so don't act like the whole country wanted him as president and the ones who didn't are a small minority. All its going to take is a few more people to people to wake up and if we make it through this term intact, we won't have to worry about a second term. His approval rating dropped 5% in a week while his disapproval rating went up 7%. As the economy gets worse and worse the disapproval rating will continue to go up. The stimulus bill is bloated and oh yeah does everyone know that the "rebate" we are getting in our paychecks is not really a rebate as the tax tables have not changes so some people will actually have to pay next year when they do taxes or not get a refund, guess they forgot to mention that, the housing bill he passed will help very few people...and eventually people will find out nothing he says is the truth. I wonder will happen then.
popular vote was Gore
Im trying to remember back from 2000..there was a university, I think maybe University of Chicago..which did a recount and Gore won. If all the ballots had been counted and all the registered voters who were turned away were allowed to vote, based on the party they were registered under, Gore would have won. I remember back in 2001, the outrage, so I contacted the university and was assured the public would be allowed a copy of the study on the recount. Geez..seems like centuries ago..I will check back with my political friends and find out the university..Maybe they still are offering their results on the recount.In any case, however, to be fair, when there is a election in doubt, IMHO, you go with the popular vote, which was Gore.
Y'all are just jealous he's so popular
and you all can't get a liberal talk show to take. The Air America crowd can't keep themselves from stealing from their network long enough to try to get a quality show off the ground.
If Rush is so wrong then won't you dispute what he says instead of personally attacking him?
contrary to popular belief
Bush did not enact the Patriot Act.
Everybody KNOWS Al Gore won the popular vote
It is awfully coincidental that the state that had the problems counting their votes, which ultimately cost AL Gore the election, was what? Oh thats's right it was....FLORIDA - George Bush's brother's state. You do remember Jeb was governor of Florida during that time, don't you?
Contrary to popular belief.....the rich pay the

Contrary to popular belief, O supporters
as their divine Savior. Rather, he is just a fine American who cares deeply about his country, running for the highest office in the land. He has the strength to step up to the plate, turn a blind eye toward all that would seek to destroy him and do his best to tackle the mop-up job after one of the most devastating administrations in the history of our country. More that this, we cannot ask. He is calm, thoughtful, inspiring, steady, intuitive and gifted with an uncanny ability to inspire millions of Americans in the throes of an economic collapse to unite behind the simple notion that we can do better, that we are at the dawn of a new day and that our shared imperative is to embrace optimism and confidence in ourselves and in his leadership. In comparison to his opponent, who would use shrub style politics of fear to scare us into voting for him and thinks nothing of igniting culture wars and stoking the fires of division for political gain, there is no contest. Obama deserves the respect he has gained and without a doubt, he the best man for the job.
I'd be very embarrassed to admit that he was popular, if I were you...kind of reflects on right-w
I saw very little admirable, factual, interesting or thoughtful in his post. If all these people admire him, like you say, this country is in more trouble than I thought.
On terrorist ties, since topic is popular for the moment

Obama could win popular but still lose election - see message
It is possible. It has happened before. I think now especially in these final two days, when people are hearing Obama saying in a radio interview that he will bankrupt coal companies and skyrocket electricity bills, a lot of people are really wondering. Especially the states where coal is their major industry. They are starting to realize that a vote for the O means they'll be out of work. Along with the birth certificate issue not being resolved, and other the other numerous questions about the O people are really wondering about him.

My goodness, what it
to open their eyes! Remember when Pat Robertson said hurricanes were God's way of punishing Florida for Disney World allowing gay partners medical benefits? What do you think he thinks now...oh wait a minute, think..he thinks? OMG, they've confused me so!!!! LOL....Karma wagon comin' round...dum de dum. See, now if Katrina or Rita were to go to Venezuela!
Yes, thank goodness for
the others you mentioned. The so-called liberal media have given these clowns a free ride. At least a few have awakened after a very deep sleep. I especially love Ms.Thomas; leave it to a tough old broad (and I mean this with great affection and admiration) to have the b***s to call them on their BS.
Goodness me.......
Yikes! That quiz is too scary!
I was toying with the idea that I might change candidates....now? No way!!
oh my goodness!
Obma thinks babies are punishment? I can't believe it. I have contri buted over $300 to his campaign. I have worked a phone bank in his honor. No one told he thought BABYs were PUNISHment. Well, I don;'t care anymore, wall street crumbing be darned, a war that never seems to end or pause, none of that matters now that I know he said such a heartless cruel thing. He probably pinches kittens when no one is looking. Thanks for the info, my head is on straight about this election now. Whooh.
Goodness
I was not jumping on anyone. I simply said that those who do not believe in Jesus would go to h*ll. That you do not get to h*ll by just being good. How is that being angry? And as far as I knew, not wanting someone to go to h*ll because of their lack of belief, is the strongest form of love that you can show anyone. These days, every one including a lot of Christians are so concerned about being politically correct and not offending anyone. I mean come ON. This behavior and lack of drive has gotten prayer taken out of schools and God taken out of our country.
Just because a Christian says hey, if you are not saved, you arent going to heaven doesnt mean that they are speaking out of anger or that they are sinning. It means they are speaking THE TRUTH. There is no more time for sugar coating things. This is reality and for every person that you gloss over the scripture to, it is on your head before God. So, I will handle things the way that I feel God leads me, and leave the judgment of my actions up to you.
Thank goodness!!! s/m
Good to see another write-in voter. Maybe if we get enough converts to common sense we can really make a change in our government.
goodness
I didnt read anywhere where gourdpainter said that we dont all have rights. I didnt even see her mention minorities. I did see her imply that someone who doesnt believe in Jesus is amoral either. Just jump all over her for her beliefs. Talk about being supressed and rights being violated. She is receiving that from you.
My goodness....sm
Struck a chord somewhere with you?
Obama is no JFK. Period. JFK did have the greatness you mention, but again, Obama doesn't even come close.
Obama wants to take away your civil rights, and you're okay with that. I feel sorry for what you'll get if he's elected, by hook or crook.
If you think Obama challenging the American people to become a great socialist nation, for that's what's he doing, by any name other than socialism...., you're definitely in for a big disappointment. You have no idea what hope and change this man will wrought.
I'm not wallowing in anything at all. Interesting how you didn't dispute the fact that both JFK and BO elections were/are rigged.
(and maybe the LSD line was a bit cheap, but hey....you brought up the expanding the mind thing, not me....lol....)
p.s. I think you got that negative energy thing wrong, though. There's at least half of this nation putting out positive energy to counter all the bias that the media and blind followers have for this man. It's hardly negative. It's a big positive, and I'm willing to bet that the person who wins the White House next week, is not Obama.
Just wait till we get behind the curtain to cast our votes.
My goodness....sm
I don't think I'm even going to try to follow what has just gone on here below, as it is now almost the entire page listed....my head is spinning.... with it all.
I will say that I am glad to see both sides of the political spectrum come to the defense of others though.....I have come too late, and will just stay out of it all.
I need an aspirin now! Maybe I'll just go get some ice cream instead....or chocolate.....
oh my goodness
What silliness!!! Throngs of people demanding to see the birth certificate .... really now.
thank goodness..........
@2
Thank goodness!!
That should never, ever have been allow to go into effect in the first place.
If your personal beliefs exempt you from being able to perform your duties, then find another line of work.
My goodness,
Guess you don't understand that what happens in the U.S., in some areas, determines what happens outside the U.S. Your stance on the president doesn't need to be accountable to the citizens who pay his salary, is truly scary. Whether reported on Fox, or any other news station, we have no idea what is going on behind closed doors. O is making decisions that are going to put this country in great jeopardy. How do you not see that?
My goodness, it's so obvious
that you have blinders on! Wake up!
Thank goodness, no more political ads! nm

Thank goodness my DH and I took all of our retirement
and investments out of the market about 6 weeks ago, had a feeling something was coming.
Thank goodness someone has some sense on here
Heaven forbid I bring up welfare.....crazy posters pounce on ya like you're a horrible person. Welfare is NOT for the moochers of this country and believe me, there are plenty of those. And I'll give you one more .....the welfare system wasn't just for single mothers with children; it was for single mothers who lost their jobs in the first place. Most of them around here have no jobs, have NEVER had a job, and have absolutely no desire to work. They just keep having babies, usually by several different guys who have already populated our town with many other career welfare mothers..... I'm with you. Hire MORE caseworkers who actually do their job and cut the free ride off when they find several different family members living together off the government, several NICE vehicles sitting in front of their HUD homes, everything paid for by me and then there might actually be some money for those truly in need.
All those daddies standing on the corner holding their britches up all day instead of working makes me want to puke! GET A JOB!
HCA at least has Frisk.....thank goodness!

Thank goodness we got out of the market
in September. Heard Jim Cramer at that time say the economy was going to tank soon; heeded the advice and pulled out that day. O is certainly bringing hope and change to the masses, isn't he? You better hope you have some money to retire on and change your retirement plan!
My goodness - you'd better write and tell someone
Hardly quite that simple or people way smarter than you or I would have solved it. The studies on the effectiveness of preventive measures, incidentally, study people who DO participate in prevention - not those who don't.
Goodness I meant memo!
too much transcribing today!
For goodness sakes...he's already put his foot
And I suppose you're okay with the comment he let slip out when he said "spread the wealth" when asked by a plumber how he was supposed to keep his business open with higher taxes, that he wouldn't be able to employ more people and would end up losing is business. Obama did not care at all. He very callously smirked and opening admitted he needs to "spread the wealth".
You do understand that concept? It means NO TAX CUTS FOR YOU but you will be seeing large sums of money being used to put more and more on the welfare payroll. He has disguised these at "tax credits". Well, got a news flash for ya. YOU won't be getting a tax credit but someone you know might be getting a paycheck for doing nothing at all.
There is NO SUCH THING. MY goodness, you people
should not take stuff so literally. Of course, there is no "pool" of any sort. Maybe that poster was joking. Lighten up!
Oh my goodness! Chillax people!
You don't even know what color my skin is so how dare you! I feel sorry for you because obviously YOUR racism is showing. Yes, the man hasn't even been in office for a full week but MY POINT was that even with that little amount of time....look at the huge list of promises he has made with 2 already broken.
This is not a race thing. This is staying informed on stuff because I refuse to let government screw me again.
Goodness seems to be routing me right back to the board
FYI gt, using vulgar language or posting pictures of vulgar hand gestures is against the rules, not that you care, but I think the board monitor is on to ya.
Thought you guys liked foul mouthed hand gesturing people. I don't understand why you think this is some kind of ammo.
For goodness' sake, where did critical thinking go?
It's an editorialized article that includes many statements and facts meant for the reader to consider. It's not something intended to be only true or not true. You're supposed to THINK about it and measure it against what you know and come to your own opinion about it, and if it jars you, check out the facts for accuracy yourself. What has happened to the right's ability to think soundly?
My goodness. This must be the rude anonymous dem poster...sm
. Constantly putting my posts down. Seems to be your goal in life lately.
Excuse me? My goodness, aren't we the bitter one?
of all time. The challenge he laid down to Americans put us on the moon before his 10 year prediction...an awesome feat that no doubt was accomplished within that time frame to honor his memory. His legacy is the stuff legends are made of, a view that is shared with us by people worldwide. His initiatives to advance freedom, civil rights and equality were unparalled in the history of our country, with the exception of Abraham Lincoln.
Obama inspires literally MILLIONS of Americans in much the same way and for much the same reasons that JFK did. I have no doubt that he will be the transformational leader Colin Powell predicts he will be.
Your petty pot shot about the LSD trip is hateful and uncalled for. There is no way you could have possibly been around for the 1960 election...you demonstrate the maturity of a 2-year old and the ignorance (especially regarding your ill-informed comment about the 1960 election)....well, that's another story.
The old guard is going down. It is likely not to see the light of day again for quite some time. If you want to wallow around in all that negative energy, go fo it, but you have no right to begrudge ANYBODY the right to hope.
And thank goodness California's failed; dont want
.
I read your post and thank goodness you are not in charge sm
Do you not understand that it is not okay to imprison people who are innocent? Do you not understand that his is a human rights issue that affects each and every one of us on this planet? Do you think beyond your own fears?
Answer me!
I hope you are being sarcastic - my goodness - they are kids! nm

tonight on CBS
Katie Couric will ask her to discuss any supreme court case other than Roe v Wade. She sits there blankly. She knows of no other cases. Nobody makes her appear anything. They ask her questions relevant to history and our government and she demonstrates her lack of knowledge.
where would I see him tonight?
I want to hear it! thanks.
My goodness. O witch hunt sure is keeping you busy.
It is in its 3rd day. No comments on the discussions regarding party revamp? How about today's agenda? Keep your eye on Jindel. He did a great job in Louisiana with disaster mgmt...and GOP will be neding plenty of that in the 2008 election aftermath. Seriously, as a left-wing commie Marxist terrorist unAmerican anti-patriot, he has GOP leadership written all over him. Mayb you should take a hate break and take a look at him.
The trolls are out to tonight..the trolls are out tonight
When they smell blood in the water they come swimming.
That ought to work well for you, at least for tonight.

On 60 minutes tonight
mr Mcclain said he had no problem with going to war with Russia as per NATO if they attack Georgia again. I dont know even where Georgia is so I was not sure I would agree the US should have a war with the big country over some were I don't know even where it is. Aren't we enough war already?
I cannot believe this board tonight!!!
I actually come here for some stimulating conversation and lately it has gotten to where I wonder why I do it anyway -- nothing but ranting and raving and bashing - YES, FROM BOTH SIDES -- but what is on here tonight is just ridiculous!!!
Who cares if there is a spelling mistake? When you are a beautician, do you always fix your own hair when you are off work? When you are a mechanic, is your car always in perfect condition? If you are a janitor, is your house always perfect? If you are a carpenter, is your home always in perfect repair? My goodness, what is the problem? I come here to unwind and have a conversation with somebody besides the cat and the dog and who cares if I have a problem typing the correct spelling sometimes?
And why can't we discuss what we want to discuss without someone telling us how wrong we are, or how we are going to be regretting the decisions we made in a few months, or how terrible Obama is, or what he is doing wrong already (when he is not even the POTUS yet), or how big a mistake it was for McCain to pick Palin, or how terrible it was that she spent all that money on clothes?
Issues, folks! Issues and answers - that is what we should be worrying about. How many of us are going to be homeless ourselves in a few months through no fault of our own? How many of us are going to be losing what little we have left in a few months through no fault of our own?
Have any of you took a minute to think that when people can't eat, they don't go to the doctor, and when people don't go to the doctor, we have no work? That means no pay for most of us... that is what I am worrying about - my pay has already gone down about $50 a day in the last month because the hospital I work for has no work for me... I am worried about losing my home that I bought "responsibly", I am worried about not eating one day soon because I have no money to buy groceries...
Let's talk about these things and figure out where to go or what to do from here to build our country up and our friends up, to help the person that is reading the next message you post to have some hope that things are going to get better, or at least that they are not getting worse - quit tearing each other down and fussing and arguing all the time!!!
CAN'T WE JUST ALL GET ALONG???
