Are you suggesting that they might have the same kind of transition as
Clinton did with with the handover to Bush?

Yeah, we're going to see the pardons come fast a furious.

Why is it that some right wingers' only response to anything is to whine,
"yeah but Klinton was just as bad"?

Why do left wingnuts give their p[oliticians a free pass while harshly
criticizing and blaming conservatives for everything that goes wrong (In
spite of who is actually at fault)?

And hopefully Palin goes back to doing whatever it is she was doing
before, never to be heard from again on the national scene.

What was that quote in Time mag? "Palin and Fey have one thing in common.
They're both better entertainers than politicians" ....or something to that
effect. Maybe she could get a job on SNL.

FrankTV already has a BO clone, but Frank is so unfunny as to be too painful
to endure.

A constitution, or indeed any other similar document, is quite
meaningless to a person like you who has no respect at all for morals,
freedom, free speech, or even a trace of honour.

It remains to be seen what changes, for better or worse, may occur.
Relying on one man to work miracles is foolish, considering the
problems facing the new administration.

Hopefully, at least one thing will change, and that is that we will be
spared from the continuous bombardment of bull**** in all media about
American problems. Problems incidentally that start with the people
themselves, not with their presidents.

Not with the Dems in office. If they put in their choices for the
Supreme Court, the Constitution will be rewritten by their decisions.

Amen. I still can't believe the American people were taken in by that
unAmerican waste of breath.

Meanwhile, for the sake of good order, props to John McCain, for a magnificent
speech to close out his campaign - and the wisdom to keep Sarah Palin quiet.
The irony is, of course, that this signified the return of the man that most
people once knew and had some respect - the John McCain of 1999 - instead of
the 2008 candidate that not only allowed his campaign to get rolled into the
wingnut/neocon mud hole, but contributed with his cynical selection of Sarah
Palin ("Country First" my white shiney ass!)

One can only wonder, had McCain taken the high road through this presidential
campaign, if the outcome could have been different. Perhaps not - clearly, the
electorate was disgusted with the Republican Party and may not have shown any
quarter. In any case, there is reason to be hopeful that McCain will provide a
positive contribution to the raising of the ship of state, before he rides off
into retirement.

I truly hope that the lesson was obvious enough for the Republicans:

McCain quote from 2000:
"Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of
American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis
Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry
Falwell on the right. "

I would have voted for the McCain of 2000. He obviously did the math
that he couldn't win this
time around without getting the far right out to vote. In doing so,
he surrendered the center. I couldn't
vote for the McCain of 2008.

If Obama stays in the center it's going to be a long couple election
cycles for the Republicans.
I hope he's smart enough to do so.

Indeed, and it's so much more than just electing Obama as President.
Between this election and the mid-terms of 2006, the Republican Party
has suffered tremendous losses at all levels of government -
basically, it has had its head removed and handed back to it. Such is
the cost of their having run the country into a financial, moral and
ethical ditch while they were in control. Now they have two choices:
sit on the sidelines and snipe, while hoping things get worse, or
change their stripes, moderate their dogma, and join in the effort to
extricate the country from the abyss that the neocons sank it in.

I think there's a third and better choice. As George said is some other
thread, this isn't the same Republican Party I signed on with. I think
conservative ideas hold a lot of water and need to be presented by a
conservative. The latest batch of republicans-come-lately that we've seen in
the past several elections talked a conservative game during their campaigns
and then spent money like drunken sailors once in office. The party's choice
to run for POTUS this time was a lame-assed attempt at trying to prop up a
moderate to draw in independent and moderate voters while retaining their
conservative base. Yeah, *that* will work! IMHO, the party either has to get
back to its conservative roots, present conservative ideas in a way that
draws people to the party, or just get off the stage. Also, "conservative"
shouldn't be confused with "neocon", 'cause they don't have anything to do
with each other. In fact, they're opposing viewpoints entirely.

Well, boys and girls (I *really* miss Nancy Anderson (Cyli) during the
recent roff **** storms), that's just about all you'll get out of me
regarding politics. It's all over now and the US needs to stand behind their
president in unity. The new administration and congress certainly have their
hands full and will need all the prayers and good vibes we can send their
way. Congrats to my Democrat friends here on roff for their party's victory.
God bless the USA.
