And in response to you, Mark, Mc Cain was chosen as the Republican candidate because the GOP thought he had the best chance of getting the moderate and independent votes. Turns out they were wrong – but the truth is, Mc Cain is not the same as Bush. Sure, they’re in the same party and agree on some policies, but like you pointed out about Ron Paul: he’s a Republican, yet can agree with and have a civil conversation with Bill Maher.

Which brings me to my next point, which is all you people who got what you want criticizing the Mc Cain voters for feeling a little salty after all of this. Of course we all think this sucks; our candidate lost. But if I recall, in 2000 Democrats were so up in arms about Bush winning that the matter had to be decided by the Supreme Court after all the recounts. And what happened in 2004 if everybody hated him that much? You all could have gotten your change then.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that yeah, for a lot of Americans they think that a huge mistake was made, myself included. However, I am willing to give Obama a chance in the spirit of getting this country freaking unified again to a point of not tearing our own selves apart anymore. And if it takes a Democrat in the White House to pacify all the liberal outrage, so be it.

What we all need to realize is that the election is over, and there’s nothing we can do to change it. I think every American would agree though that even if Mc Cain did get elected, there is a lot of change that needs to happen in America. And I, for one, while registered Independent yet usually on the conservative side, am willing to put differences aside in order to get our economy back, our freedoms back, our security back, and our status among foreign countries back, and to do that we can’t be a country divided by political beliefs – in my opinion it’s all relatively pointless to argue things like animal rights, marriage rights, and yes, even abortion rights to the point of self-destructing our own country that was built for us by the Founding Fathers through our own blood shed. They never would have wanted that.

…though I am always up for a good debate.
