Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, November 04, 2008

At his final rally before Election Day in Manassas, Virginia, Barack Obama explained to the crowd the origin of a phrase that has become popular in his campaign: "Fired Up, Ready to Go!" He picked it up in Greenwood, S.C., from Edith Childs, a city councilwoman in that town, at a campaign event with 20 people in attendance.

Mission Accomplished!!!!

Congratulations to Barack Obama! And to all my liberal opponents and insulters, I acknowledge your happiness tonight and for years to come.

It appears that when war is needed, Republicans lead, and when peace is needed, Democrats lead. On earth, War and Peace are realities.

Only in America: A Black President! Even Liberal Europe is far behind in this.

One thing: I trust neither Obama nor McCain as far as turning the nation around is concerned. Inspite of Obama, the nation will turn around and the economy will recover. It is because God is in control and will continue to guide this great nation.

America is called to be light and salt to the world.

Unlike some liberals who continue to hate and insult George Bush to this day, I will respect Obama but continue to look at him from a distance with some skepticism. I will wait and see if his administration will be a vengeful one or a reconciling one.

To John and Sarah, you did your best and your future is still ahead. Thanks for pledging to help Obama lead the nation in a time of great difficulty.

One Nation Under God.

God bless America.

(With less money and the liberal media against you, you still fought a good fight, McCain.)

Puhleeze... the Bushhole presidency was one of the most vindictive in history. Everything he did was a gudge match. "Rove Bushhole's Brain" did his best to raise mudslinging to an art form as republicans cheered and did the happy dance. McLame picked up where Rove left off despite the fact that even Bushhole had figured out Rove's act was stale in 06.

Obama was my second choice but Obama ran a pretty clean campaign... albeit expensive... and worth every nickel.

Thanks for confirming my point concerning bitter liberals' attitude toward Bush.

Let me give you a line from one of the most hate filled right wingers on radio Rush Limbaugh. "Do you know how many people have to be wrong for you to be right?" The entire world is apparantly glad to be finally getting rid of not only Bush but the whole conservative ideology that favored the wealthy at the expense of those who do the work. I will never forget recently when they were discussing how to solve the latest economic mess and those that were running these financial institutions said they might not play ball if their compensation and bonuses were not forthcoming. Then I watched the presidential spokesman Dana Perino when asked about adding an extension to the unemployement benefits for the thousands that were about to run out of benefits. She said that Bush would veto that part in part because the feeling was that they wanted the unemployed to find work. To the conservatives mindset the middle class is there for them to sponge off. We are their slaves for lack of a better term and are expendable at any time if they can make and keep more money for themselves. So when you say the liberal or progressives are bitter they have a damn good reason.

We are their slaves for lack of a better term and are expendable at any time if they can make and keep more money for themselves.

that is a horrible choice of words to describe yourself. I won't come to that pity party.

In any case, when do you think people in this country started to care about making more and keeping more?

It has been that way for thousands of years.

So when you say the liberal or progressives are bitter they have a damn good reason.

suck it up and get over it. Wimp. We both live in the same country and deal with the same problems.

you choose to be a bitter wimp. your choice. I choose not to. my choice.

I don't give a flying fuck who is in the white house. I'll get behind them and not accuse them of being a fucktard, criminal, etc....with every decision they make.

try it sometime.

I love the title of this thread! And apparently there is a huge majority of Americans who are fired up and ready to go as well.

This country needs to heal. You can call it whatever you wish, but the past 8 years have been horrific for this country and it is time to change, to improve and to move on.

I thought McCain was a class act last night, and Obama showed strength and determination. I believe with my heart that Obama will be the man to pull this country together. McCain will obviously help accomplish that goal.

Congratulations to both men, not for the election but for keeping America and her healing as the focus of last night.

We woke up to a brave new world this morning. To quote another great statesman "We can move forward into great sunlit uplands". What you witnessed last night was a bloodless revolution and unlike the generation of the 60s that talked about making change happen, this younger generation (with the help of more than a few of us old folks) did it! The US standing the world increased 10 fold overnight and we can look forward to better times with a thoughtful intelligent man leading and representing this country.

Lead on President Obama.

Thanks for confirming my point concerning bitter liberals' attitude toward Bush.

Sanctimony is all you have left. Your remarks demonstrate this with your faux "taking the high road" puke fest. When all else fails talk about your close relationship with God... hey why not?... bin Laden does the same thing while hiding in a cave!

You gave everything else to Bushhole by exploiting the major weakness of democracy... (i.e. using a slim majority rule coupled with unskilled and divisive leadership.) to shore up the assumption your toe hold was a mandate. You wanna talk about behaving bitterly?

Furthermore, the majority of reubs contributing to this site the past five years demonstrated an inability to differentiate between religious, economic and political philosophies. You insisted on equating democracy with capitalism and capitalism with Christianity when all are clearly separate discussions.

When having to use the principals of economic socialism to bail the free market out somehow it was the fault of the "godless libruls" or better yet blame the poor.

Party. party party. Party? PARTAY!

Meanwhile, has anyone heard a peep from Caribou Barbie today? Not even a blip on the radar since last night! Ahhhh, the spoils of victory....

What the world think is secondary.

I accept that Obama is a Christian. That said, I will not make Obama into an anti-Christ. Let me explain ---

An anti-Christ is not one who necessarily oppose Christ; but when it replace Christ --- in peoples' heart.

So for myself, Obama is only a mere human being who got elected to be President. He is not the Messiah. He is not the one. The danger with star-worshipphing America is that the gullible and the clueless makes mere humans much more than they actually are. Madonna, Oprah, Clooney, and so on.... I don't give a dime.

So yes, I will pray for Obama as our President. But I will not let him take the place of God in my heart. To me the real President throughout the history of this nation has been Jesus Christ Himself and will continue to be.

(My take on why the Democrats are given this chance: one thing: the repubs are not willing to give the illegal aliens a chance to turn legal, so the dems will do it.)

If you are directing the comments to Mexicans in particular... the vast majority of them descended from the indigenous peoples of the Americas who walked up and down the corridors of this land for 30,000 years. Your remarks seem a little presumptuous... especially since they are trying to escape a Christian based capitalistic democracy to a secular based nation with a mixed economy.

Love the messiah lectures tho... real cute...

I wish Obama the best.
He is taking this job at a very difficult time in our history.

Obama will make mistakes -- he's only human -- but let's all give him a chance. Obama has a lot of repairing to do to fix the mess Bush will have left behind. Hopefully we can try to come together again as Americans rather than the divided country as we were before. I hope Obama will rule from the center. If he goes too far to the left we'll all end up at each other's throats again.

Peace.

where is nanc. will she not admit her defeat?

Wow, so poetic if it were not complete bullshit. Iraq war was NOT NEEDED. And it was, is, and will always be a complete failure and debacle of epic proportion. The Balkans war was considered "needed" but it seems there was a "D" at the helm in the oval office, oh forgetful one. And perhaps you would like to compare the success between Iraq and the war in the Balkans?

The GOP are warmongering cowards who only pick lopsided fights. And then they even fubar those. Multiple Vietnam deferrals and hiding behind daddy bush connections for a cushy reserve assignment is apparently how you define military heros. You DO know there are far more veterans in D.C. on the "D" side compared to the "R".

As usual, you have it all backwards takitez--you are such a tool.

I look at pictures from around the world showing the reactions of people in different countries upon hearing the news. It is a loooooooooooooooooooooong way from the reaction Bush-hole got when he was spoon feeding his own nation lies to justify settling a grudge against Saddam Hussien. Then the pictures were of people rioting in the streets objecting to the American democratic political system. Bush-hole in response said... "fuck em... we will go it alone..." and proceeded to go to war with only half a country behind him and few world allies. Worse yet he inspired his own party to turn against fellow Americans for not walking lock step against this incredibly stupid act.

What he gave them in return was $900 in tax rebates over the course of 8 years and a broken economy in the hole a trillion dollars... paid for via tax dollars. Now all of a sudden the party that once "had no ideas" looks real smart.

The Democratic Party rallying behind Obama has done more for the viability of Democracy in other nations than all the billions of dollars wasted on bombs not to mention the aborted lives and maimed human beings left in the wake of Bush-holes nation building exercise.

Gotta love a landslide.

I thought McCain was a class act last night..

Unlike Clinton when they trashed the whitehouse as they left. I'll bet Bush dosen't do anything like that.

"when they trashed the whitehouse(sic) as they left"

Another long-debunked urban legend.
Nice try loser.

Obama Last Night: 'Fired Up, Ready to Go'

He was talking about the fried chicken, guys.

I'll bet Bush dosen't do anything like that.

I'll bet Bush would be the first to tell you it didn't happen.

Puts you in a quandary, would you believe him or not?

"To me the real President throughout the history of this nation has been Jesus Christ Himself and will continue to be."

Interesting... I didn't realize Jesus was an American.

Interesting... I didn't realize Jesus was an American.

Sure he was, spoke English and everything.

If Jesus came back today George W Bush would prolly throw him into Gitmo and torture him to death (yes, again) and then explain to the world that it was okay cos Jesus was just a dangerous Marxist terrorist from the ME and that his vital organs had given out not due to the sustained torture but due to a pre-existing condition that nobody could have imagined.

Be Well.

So, takeitez, does this mean Obama is favored by God?

"This country needs to heal.... it is time to change, to improve and to move on."

Look at the DR posters, mostly missing but TakeItEZ keeping a Stiff Upper Lip, and tell me if you think those people would really work for a little healing.

"I thought McCain was a class act last night,"

He's had a long time to rehearse playing gracious loser.

"Obama will ... pull this country together. McCain will obviously help."

Why obviously? McC must do all he can so the Demos to fail to fix it by 2012.

"Congratulations ... for keeping America and her healing as the focus."

What network did YOU watch, Lisa? herm
