Default Election Day 2008!

Today is the day America decides the future leadership of our country. Please pray for us!

I just heard an analyst speaking about the remote possibilty of a tie in the electoral college. If this happens, the house and senate will decide the president and vice president. And with their political leanings, there is also the remote possibility of a Obama presidency and a Palin vice-presidency. Now, wouldn't that be insanely wild? ha ha!!!

I think there is more interest over here with this election than there was with ours

I have a couple of comments.
One is a politician commented the other day that finally this election will eliminate predjudice in this county. I believe he is totally wrong. It will probally set us back about 100 years or more.

What I can not understand is with issues like aboration and same sex marriage on the line, How could Christians have a hard time deciding who to vote for.

Well I'm happy either way because to me my Lord is going to rapture me out of here soon any way.

Amen Robert , John 17:9 is a tough verse to take but often the truth is hard to take

Well, it's looking like Obama is going to win:

Power Line - It's over, I think

The American people have spoken.

The societal decay continues. 2 Thessalonians 2:7, 2 Timothy 3:1-9

The liberal media have achieved their goal of propelling Obama into office.

I'll see you in heaven, Robert.

OK, I am done pouting. See you in 4 years.

And, congratulations to Barack Obama. He has taken ahold of the American dream which is the opportunity to be successful no matter what your background is.

I am disappointed about the outcome, however I have to remember what you said Gibby about God's will prevailing. I'll take a deep breath and let it go...

I am dissapointed too. But, that will fade. Back to work which is being about the Father's business. It's just going to become more difficult, I am afraid. But God's word forewarns us of that so it should not come as a surprise.

To me, it's sobering to see all this coming to pass right before my very eyes and amazed that so many people have compromised their values. Ugh!
