Elections have consequences and the consequences of this one are dire. You said yourself that liberals are going to follow him wherever he goes and since he has a filibuster proof congress, the rest of us have very little say in the matter. There are I believe 58 liberal senators and at least 3 RINOS like McCain that will vote with the majority.<BR/> He promised to fundamentally change the way we do business in Washington, yet he is basically reassembling the Clinton administration. Change we can Xerox, again. <BR/>Sorry Drock, I disagree with you. While it's true he won't cure cancer, (although the media would have us believe he is the second coming) he has a majority in Congress and that affords him an ability to get things done in the next two years that I believe are going to do near irreparable damage to this country.Conservative Beat Downhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145786601473678828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5778591353888134890.post-70288594764116144812008-11-13T08:51:00.000-08:002008-11-13T08:51:00.000-08:00People think somehow Obama is going to cure cancer...People think somehow Obama is going to cure cancer.

The difference b...Homosexuals have the right to be. The difference between Massachusetts and California is that Massachusetts legislated Homosexual marriage from the bench and never put it to a popular vote because they knew that the people would vote it down. <BR/>Civil unions and domestic partnerships offer most of the same protections that marriage does. The problem is that the homosexual movement is intent on forcing people to recognize and accept what adults do in the privacy of their own homes. Most people couldn't care less but when you try to force people to recognize and accept it, that is where you run into problems. Gay rights, civil rights and Equal rights all have their foundations in the same principles, but they are not the same. A black person can't hide the fact that they are black, there is no closet for that. A woman theoretically can hide the fact that she is a woman in some cases but there really is no closet for that either. Homosexuals have to tell people that they are in fact homosexuals. That fact right there makes gay rights vastly different form the other two. The comparison between animals fully extending their wings and limbs and homosexuals being able to get married is just absurd.Conservative Beat Downhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145786601473678828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5778591353888134890.post-60447884225825837182008-11-03T16:08:00.000-08:002008-11-03T16:08:00.000-08:00Hey, just a heads up.

Look at the people who surround them - both major party candidates are advised by members of CFR. Their globalization agendas are fundamentally similar, despite their cries of difference. Why are 3rd party candidates banned from the final presidential debates? If 'the people's opinion' mattered there would not be a $850 billion bailout. There was an overwhelming voice against it, yet it still passed, but only when there was an additional $150 billion of pork barrel earmarks. Our government does not represent the people anymore - it represents the corporations. We MUST take the power back!
