I can, also. We just go on whether or not we "win" and that's the beauty of living in the United States of America. I don't begrudge anyone for winning for their cause, if they got the votes, they get the win. It will all come out in the wash, so to speak.<BR/><BR/>But one thing...ol' anonymous who says God is a liberal...?? Where does that thinking come from. Oh, maybe they were talking about one of their gods (little g).<BR/><BR/>When I read my Bible I don't see God as liberal but as black or white, salvation or eternal damnation, take Him or leave Him, one way to the Father. This is liberal? Not in any sense.<BR/><BR/>DoriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1163183483700484462006-11-10T10:31:00.000-08:002006-11-10T10:31:00.000-08:00PRIM .

I’m heartened that he may be a new kind of democrat, and I hope there are more like him and more to come. Still, I can’t help but feel that he’s a traitor. As you can see, two very conflicted viewpoints.

I am skeptical about the future of this country considering who will be running the government in the near years to come. I hope that the Democrats will have the foresight and ability to take on this responsibility. But I doubt it. It is time for them now to initiate plans, (which I doubt they know how to create), to protect this country from the terrorists, and maintain our economy.<BR/> <BR/>KenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1163106468263715902006-11-09T13:07:00.000-08:002006-11-09T13:07:00.000-08:00Very good blog, Bill.

I believe it was on Hannity that someone said the President still has veto power and I believe he will use it.<BR/> <BR/>One of my biggest disappointments was CA Prop 85. Unless it changed since I saw the results last it failed!! I am glad I don't have a daughter because if at 13 she was allowed to have an abortion without my knowledge I would sue the state or kill someone.<BR/> <BR/>I feel the same about our wonderful president. Some dislike him because of his faith. I don't believe he has EVER intentionally lied to us. God Bless Him!!! I am happy for Liberman and I sure wish he would change and become one of the good guys.<BR/> <BR/>Last but not least, I also was very optimistic and that doesn't make us bad people.<BR/><BR/>RoseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1163102344210882422006-11-09T11:59:00.000-08:002006-11-09T11:59:00.000-08:00What do you think of Rush's comments?Now, I mentio...What do you think of Rush's comments?<BR/><BR/>Now, I mentioned to you at the conclusion of the previous hour that people have been asking me how I feel all night long.

(I can't be anybody else, so I'm stuck with it.) The way I feel is this: I feel liberated, and I'm going to tell you as plainly as I can why. I no longer am going to have to carry the water for people who I don't think deserve having their water carried. Now, you might say, "Well, why have you been doing it?" Because the stakes are high.

One word decided which party would win the U.S. Senate. One word gave the Democrats full control of Congress and the power to pass whatever legislation they fancy and to block the president's appointments, including his Supreme Court nominations. Because of one word, the Democrats can now dictate funding for the Iraq war. That word is "macaca." <BR/><BR/>Because incumbent Republican George Allen uttered that racially-charged word--and because he was captured doing so on video--he lost his bid for reelection. Because of his defeat, the Republicans fell one seat shy of retaining control of the Senate. Reaganite-turned-Democrat Jim Webb appears to have beaten Allen by about 7000 votes. There can be no question that Allen's "macaca" gaffe was the decisive moment in the race and that it cost him at least 7000 votes, if not more. Had he called the Webb campaign volunteer a different term ("jerk") or had the comment not been taped and widely disseminated (thank you, YouTube), Allen likely would have won reelection. That one moment changed the contest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1163060821553330762006-11-09T00:27:00.000-08:002006-11-09T00:27:00.000-08:00Sorry Greg.
