Neither side owns right and wrong.

your right. my point is that hopefully our leadership will be more common sense based and not based on ideology.

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.

I'll take emotion over greed and stupidity any day of the week. How about you?

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.

What Republicans?

[spence]

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?

I really hate to go there, but perhaps Colin Powell voted for Obama for the same reasons the other 98% of the black population. I think race seemed more important than his moderate beliefs. He was against all of the Conservative Supreme Courts Justices. He made a statement during the run up to the election, stating he had a problem with the possibility of McCain picking up to 2 more conservative judges.

Sorry, but I can not see it any other way, if 98% of whites voted for McCain, we would all be racists, but it's not when it's reversed? Colin Powell is most definitely not a conservative, I'd call him a left leaning Moderate at best.

I guess he's as much a Conservative and Lieberman is a Liberal..... So I guess we are even there....

it came from illegal aliens voting in areas where dems have ensured that you can vote without showing any form of ID
