Just listening to Obama speak now on the 6pm news here. All i can say is WOW! I never thought he would make president. America you rock!

Democrats / Republican whats the difference between the two.
Here we have two main parties National & Labour. National is more the pro american, support the Anzac's, less Politically correct. Labour is more save the whales, tree huggers, gobal warming, make peace not war. Labour has been in govenment for about 4 elections now

So Democrats and republicians anyone care to explain what is the difference between the two...:hmm:

Something similar to your Labour vs. National, though the line is so blurred, I can't tell myself lately. Repubs would follow your National. Demo's, your Labour.

The way you describe it, it sounds nearly identical in policy.

Though statistically, demo's like to go to war more.

Don't they flip sides/policies every couple decades or so? Never really understood that.

Sorry, I just can't help this.:



Here in New Mexico, where I registered 267 new voters personally, we also have Dem. Senator Tom Udall, and sweep of all three Congressional seats with Martin Heinrichs, Harry Teague and Ben Lujan.

I met Lt. Gov. Diane Denish last week with Teague and Udall. There's talk here of gov. Bill possibly moving up to Sec. of State and Sen. Jeff Bingaman as Secretary of Energy. I suggested to Denish she might consider Amb. Joe Wilson as a candidate to fill Bingaman's seat if he goes into the Obama cabinet. As a former Bush 41 Charge d'Affaires in Baghdad with vast experience in foreign service, it would make a good bipartisan choice and put a good man in the Senate for the Foreign Affairs or Intelligence Committees. Of course, my nominee for Attorney General would be David Iglesias.

A five to seven percent margin of victory certainly does not constitute any sort of demonstration that the Republicans have had their asses handed to them.

It remains to be seen if Obama can live up to his big pep-rally rhetoric.

Hopefully, it is more than just blind/pseudo optimism created by a man who felt absolutley at home saying anything he felt he needed to, to wedge himself into the presidency.

Goodluck Americans I hope you made the wise choice.

Send Obama a GWX copy with the message 'You think you have a tough road ahead, you simply haven't play GWX'....

Well, it would seem that I have underestimated the Democratic electorate of this country. I had complete confidence that McCain would win, as much as I dislike him. Egg on my face

However, I would caution that Democratic presidencies combined with Democratic congress have yielded some of the greatest economic and social hardships this country has faced in the past century.


Right now, this country can ill-afford vast expenditures on social programs, as well as the inevitable continuing expenditures on Iraq, whatever the Dems may say about it. The combination of the banking system with the Federal government to the extent we know today is a recipe for a disaster of heretofore unseen proportions if mishandled. And that is the key. No matter who is president, it will only take one selfish plutocrat or bumbling fool to plunge this nation into an economic abysss that will take centuries (and wars) to recover from.

It would seem that America has been willing to give its' "leadership", since we evidently have such a thing, despite the efforts of our founders, the power to govern the currency, and the welfare of the people. Let us hope that it doesn't work out as disastrously as it has for every other nation that tried it.

One way or the other, It would appear that Barack Obama is now my commander-in-chief. With any luck, we won't have to deal with the situation we had last time there wasa Democratic president, congress, and a fiscal crisis.
