Obama will destroy this country. You can give me crap about it if you wish, but when you're paying more taxes than you've ever paid in your life, you will only have Obama and the other socialists to blame.

Il, how do we pay for the spending that has gone on in Washington under St Ronald and Bush?

Not me. I feel bad for McCain, now resigned to his fate, growing ever more bitter and angry in the public appearances. He really did serve this country admirably. In a sense he really did pay his dues, and I understand why it's so incomprehensible to him that he would not reap the just rewards (in his mind) of his efforts. Truthfully, I think he suffers from the same entitlement mentality that Hillary did, and he's handling the end with about as much grace as she did. I feel for both of them, having invested so much with so little to show for it in the end.

On the other hand, he largely brought this on himself by selling out to the neocons with his platform, then selecting possibly the most uninformed, underqualified VP we've ever seen, and going with an incredibly negative campaign rhetoric. And his campaign was disorganized and never seemed to have a consistent vision or strategy.

Now, these people I don't feel bad for. I actually got kicked off a board the day after the VP announcement for trying to (in my usual charming fashion) point out the truth about Palin, and suggest that she'd become a liability to the ticket. I was informed at the time that I'm just jealous of her appearance. Now that the truth about Palin is more widely accepted, I'd love to go back there and drop a few "how do you like me now"s.

See you in 2012.
what I thought was funny was those Palin supporters on cougarboard yesterday that were saying they wished she had been debating obama last night. The response was that she would have attacked him more. I guess what they fail to see is that it wouldn't have convinced anyone that wasn't already in their camp. To convince anyone still undecided she would actually have to say something of substance and it appears she doesn't have any of that except for on energy policy. Palin was arguably the worst VP choice a major party candidate has ever made. Voters may appreciate she's just like them, but that doesn't mean they think their next door neighbor should be the vice president.

when it comes down to it, congress (even democrats) will be slow to pass any tax increase. They still have to go home and break the bad news to their constituents. If there was a tax increase passed, you would see huge turnover in the next election. A tax increase is probably what the republican party needs to turn the tide the other way. That is one issue you can get people to respond to in an election.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion.

Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
