C'mon guys, where are you? You can't have a politics forum without both sides. I already promised not to gloat too much!
Sorry I've been gone, school has kept me busy.

I voted on election day (Republican and Libertarian) and it was my first time doing so. I just wish they would have gaven me an "I voted" sticker.

I watched the state vote be counted and I watched Obama win. It was exciting. I wish McCain would have won but I also look at the bright side of things.

I have social views that do not match with the current Republican values (Like pro choice, pro gay marriage, pro drug, anti-religion) so at least these things can progress under a Democratic majority (though I don't like the idea of any party having that much control, Republican or Democrat).

I think it's pretty nifty that we have an African American in office, even if most of his views aren't on the same page as mine. I'll be a gracious loser. Maybe this will get the Republican party back to their Libertarian roots.

Congrats Dems, Liberals, and anyone else who voted for Obama.

By no means I intend to offend "right wingers" NO, but I'm copying some really interesting remarks here, perhaps posted by the crowd who are extremist people far far to the right, a minority in the right; whom even a good portion of average republicans recognize need to calm down, I'm happy to hear talks of Republican party rebounding to its core values, its good ol' days Republicans Must Respond Rating: 5
