    Come on JazX seriously. Just relax man. Ever since last night all I've seen from you are predictions about where this country is going to go under Obama. Let me just try to give you a little different perspective. I'm an ex-Republican and a lot of the issues you bring up, not the rhetoric, the issues, I agree with you on. But, fact is, Republicans really don't represent the conservative values anymore. So take a breath and just hope for the best for this country right now. The things that you're saying right now aren't too far from the way a lot of Democrats have been acting about the war in Iraq for the last 5 years. Secretly (yet transparently) hoping for things to go terribly wrong just to support what you believe. Hoping that this country takes a turn for the worse just so that the opposing political party has egg on their face is shameful man. You can disagree with the decision, you can voice your opinion but wishing things go badly just to prove your point are worlds apart imo.

    I definitely hope that conservatism comes back in a big way. Not the current rhetoric we've been forced to accept coming out of the Republican party and for that reason alone I'm glad that McCain didn't get the nod because it only would have enforced that kind of behavior. Joe the Plumber, Tito the Builder ... are we the country of WWE? Is Hulk Hogan going to be in the steel cage match in 2012 with Andre the Giant? Nope, the Republican party definitely needs to redefine who they are if they want to have a part in the future, and I really really hope they do because I do not agree with 80% of liberal policy. So as for me, I hope Obama does a great job while conservatives rebuild and clean up the mess the Republicans have made of this party the past 8 years.

    • I see a bunch of rhetoric fluff and if things do go wrong they'll blame Bush. You know it and I know it.

    • So what? That's not too far from the truth in regards to Bushie. He hasn't done a good job, there will be some cleanup.tommyo
    • If you want to call Obama to the carpet, you're going to have to wait a year or two most likely. I'm hoping for the best though.tommyo
    • Think of it this way too man. If Obama and Congress pass the social policy that you and I don't agree with. And if it fails the waytommyo
    • our ideologies tell us it will. Then hopefully it will be off the table completely in the future no?tommyo
    • Oh sure, but before I even get on the table in the first place, I'd like to see some experience. Ain't none
