Congratulations on your victory democrats.

America has chosen to go the route of wanting to the government to take care of their lives, and this election will be the new beginning of the next nanny state where people won't have to worry about anything....the government will be there to help you out.

Obama ran a brilliant marketing campaign that pulled the wool over the eyes of countless Americans.  It will be interesting to see how his supporters react when his marketing "shine" wears off, and we see how his inexperience and socialist leaning affect the true hard working Americans.

But since "fairness" was a theme we heard over and over, I will do my best to treat Obama with the same fairness and respect as democrats did Bush.

Even after the all the evidence - pre and post election - is shown that he did win.
Thanks to the stupidity of Palm Beach election officials he "won."

I couldn't help but point out that a lot of innocent (ie: civilian) Iraquis and Afghans HAVE

And many of those died at the hands of their own countrymen, just like before the war started. It's a sad thing civilians dieing, but very expected in a land where my enemy's friend is my enemy too. If fundamentalism does not take hold of post-war Iraq, I think the people will be the big winners. I don't think it will be the same for Afghanistan. There they are already trying to make peace with the Taliban. If successful the two can never peacefully co-exist, and it will be a long slow bleed until one faction is successful. Hope and change have little meaning there.

For all the political animosity we display here, myself included, I want to make one thing clear. I'm very capable of separating political views from the person expressing them, and some of the most wonderful people I've met in JU, some of those I've grown very fond of (and a few I even love) are so far on the opposite end of *my* political spectrum that you'd think I'd want nothing to do with them at all.

That's because you are intelligent. Yet so many would condemn Obama for having this same ability. People are a mixed bag but almost everyone has some positive attributes that a wise person can glean from them without accepting the the whole bag.
