I, for one, finally welcome an administration that doesn't let the Bible dictate every non-commerce related decision.

That would be contrary to everything that the libs have done in the past. They lead by emotion. There followers, follow because they too are run by emotions. Common sense has never been a word to describe the Democrats, at least the ones that are now in charge.

Emotion is running this country into bankruptcy faster then stupidity and greed did.

So how do you explain the Republicans who crossed over to elect Obama? Perhaps they were able to reprogram themselves...

Certainly I'd think you'd agree that they were motivated by anti-Bush emotions. Does this mean they were really closet liberals?

If that's the case, how many closet liberals do you think are out there? What could set them off?

I don't remember a lot of Republicans campaigning for Obama, I do however remember Lieberman stumping for McCain.

So you don't think the advantage Obama received in the election came somewhat from Republican leaning independents and otherwise registered Republicans...

Like Colin Powell?
