Damn, i'm anxious! I'm just glad it's over. It has been the most rediculous, slanderous election of my life time, and I feel as though the good ol' US of A just ain't what it used to be. Lets go McCain!!!

I just recieved a text message on my cell phone that went as follows:
"URGENT: Do not watch the polls yet, the Republicans are just now getting off from WORK!!!"
Anyway, my prayers have been said and all I can do is wait and hope.
man i'm sick to my stomach......
I just voted.
No wait in our precinct. (New subdivision out in the wheatfields on the west side of Salt Lake Valley).
The wife was voting for the first time in her life. She was born and raised in Japan but had a Korean passport so had no vote there. She became a US Citizen 2 months ago. She voted straight R. I voted almost straight R but some local/state races I voted Libertarian on some, but not all. Our AG is really good on gun rights. Want to keep him in. Unfortunately, the LIB guy for Governor here is a joke. "Super Dell" Dell Schanze. Young guy who owned a pack and ship type store and started building PCs on the side. Sold the pack and ship store and had a whole fleet of PC stores. Nothing wrong with that. But his head got too big for his britches and he started doing and saying dumb things in public. All of a sudden, all of his PC stores went out of business. You can read about him in Wikipedia if you want. It is running people like this that is the reason the Libs never go anywhere.
I am not too worried about riots out where I live. Maybe in downtown Salt Lake City but not out here. Still, I am being vigilant.

Please do not post any comments that are intentional personal attacks against other members. (Including, but not limited to, name calling, comments of a racial, religious or sexual nature.) Debate is welcome and encouraged. Personal attacks, and name calling, serve no purpose in the exchange and debate of good information. Please be respectful to your fellow shooting enthusiasts whether they are new shooters or seasoned veterans.
First, Katar: thank you for the reminder.
Second, for the first time in my adult life I am choosing to publicly disclose what I did on election day. I chose not to vote for President. Period. I respect everyone else's right to choose and vote for the candidate who they believe could best lead our country. Or the candidate who would be least bad. I simply could not find that candidate on my ballot, even with one of them hailing from my home state. Wasted non-vote? Maybe. Maybe not.
mccain taking kentuky
mccain leads slightly in indiana
eta yes, i'm watching the communist news network. i find it ammusing. funny how wolf the back stabber blitzer stumbles when he sees mccain's numbers. hilarious stuff.

I am sitting here at the station glued to my favorite news channel "Fox News" and wondering why they are calling some states like Penn. for Obama with only a small percentage of the polls in, some of these states only have single digit poll % in so far. Anyway, here is a link to the New York Times, they actually have a pretty good election map.

With Pennsylvania being called for Obama, we will HAVE to steal MN, IA, NV or NM or some combo therein...
We also can NOT lose FL or OH...either one and we are OFFICIALLY done.

With only 3% of the polls reporting Pennsylvania is not over yet! Dang I wish there was a smilie with his fingers crossed. :p
How can the newspersons call a state like PA when only 1% of the vote is in? What do they know thast we don't (yet)?
My wife and I voted at 6:15 pm tonight. No lines, no waiting, no hassles.
John failed to carry Ohio. He has lost. GOD help us.

Bear witness to the failure of democracy. Free and fair elections are just a slow track to communism in a nation full of subhuman detritus who care more for their pocketbook than their country and their Constitution.
And yes, I said subhuman. Not because of the color of their skin, no; a great deal of this detritus is white; socialists of any color are inferior, less human, less worthy of life than good, honest people. Always have been, always will be.
Question is, what are YOU going to do about it? What will you do when they come for your freedom? Will you kill and die for what's right, regardless of your current situation? Or are you just another coward, like those infesting Europe?
Well boys it's over Mccain has lost this race, GOD HELP US!
It’s over for John. Maybe we can keep the Dems under 60 in the senate.

Our only hope now is keeping some senate seats for the republicans to break a philibuster or you can kiss our gun rights GOODBYE!

So, you are suggesting what? We revolt violently because the other party won? If they start confiscating guns, I "bury" mine.
I am pissed that McCain appears to have lost as well, but we must endure and prepare for 2012. Not resort to radicalism.
Europe is a frightening scenario, but I humbly believe the economy cost us this election, not so much the Republican ideals or even Iraq. I think, I hope, we are several democratic presidential terms from becoming another Europe. America is just too strong willed...for now.
Republicans will make a comeback. They just have to. :eek:

As for the future, "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." - Edmund Burke
Maybe 4 years of change will finally wake people up.
At least my BCM upper was delivered today with a LMT due Thursday.

If you bury your guns when they come, they might as well have taken them. Look at Canada, Europe, and Australia. If we don't revolt when they come to take our means of revolting, we never will.

But there is a ray of hope, John won half the counties in my old home state of Pennsylvannia and that says alot. Kerry took the whole state in 04. The dems did a better job of organizing their people than we did. Lets remember that next election.
btw Grant, I get my bonus check in a few weeks. Maybe another upper will be in order. Or 2.

I hear you , and no doubt it would be a horrible situation. Let's pray it doesn't happen here in the next 4 years, and meantime give what we can to the NRA as well as write our national/local politicians when bills come up.
Maybe find another local pro-gun group to join as well. Here in NJ, I belong to the NJCSD (New Jersey Coalition For Self Defense), and get frequent emails from them stating who to write when anti-gun laws come up in Trenton. There are also links to on-line petitions.
It is better than doing nothing, and more practical than planning for conflict.
Id like to see the number of internet orders made for firearms on Nov 4, 2008 vs any other standard day.
John
Lets all rally to the NRA and get as many of your friends and family members who ARE NOT members and sign them up, remember there is still strength in numbers. Plan B, the Michigan Militia.com!
When a socialist, terrorist tied, and inexperienced politician is becoming the next president of this once great country. I'm ashamed to be part of this country full of people that would allow such things. I'm gonna go to bed now and hope it's a bad dream or that I just don't wake up.
Things in this country are about to get a lot worse...
Goodnight everyone :mad:
John Murtha held on to his House seat. I will not insult the people of Pennsylvania, like Murtha did, but WTF?
Don’t for get the Second Amendment Foundation. I joined them after I saw what they did in the Heller case.
This is a historic election. This evening we witnessed the failure of democracy.
It's officially over. He has more than 270 electoral votes.
Goodnight.
done deal here gentlemen. nothing to do but wait and see what happens.

Wait for it........OK here comes the celebratory riots!:rolleyes:
This is terrible.... any one waiting to file forms with the ATF, better hurry up.
I cannot believe that the sheep of this country cannot see through the smoke and mirrors of the democratic party.
The next four years will be a painful process, I can only hope that this will move the GOP to get it together for 2012.
....here comes the speech.
I see we have set a new attendance record tonight here in the forums. Let's take that as a potentially positive sign of unity.
Either that, or misery loves company. :p
We are all going to have to do more to help the cause.
I'll be calling the NRA in the morning and upgrading to a life membership.

When it's time to bury them, it's time to use them. I realize that falls in the same category as "better judged by twelve than carried by six," in that it's not that simple,...but it holds some water. Government largess doesn't ever go away, rights don't come back, what's coming is scary as hell.
Watching the Obama zombies celebrate their dear leader on tv has me thoroughly disgusted. I don't think I'm going to turn on the tv for a LONG time. With the exception of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia of course.
Liberty dies with thunderous applause.
here comes the celebratory riots!:rolleyes:
the riots started in philly about 930p-well they started wednesday night after the phillies won the world series and continued thru saturday night. it got worse around 11 when sen. obama was projected as the winner. i usually walk home from work but decided to pop for a cab when i left the office just past 11p and heard the ruckus. best $8 i ever spent
I wish I was at home instead of here at work.....
Sailor Jerry's Rum and Coke and watching "RED DAWN" would help distract me.

I agree with everything you said. I can not even watch " Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia". The show is funny as hell,but Danny Devido is a Bush hater. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46wakJ8oggM[/URL] . I bet he did not vote for McCain.
Is it humanly possible to blow someone any harder than MSNBC is for Obama? F-ing hell. It's like watching porno with how hard they are servicing him.

Well MSNBC was a given but Fox was a surprise for me! I thought I was watching the wrong channel on the tube but nope. Went to their site and it was worse. Obama pastered everywhere and this was around 2200. It wont help but I did sent them an e-mail stating how I thought they were "fair and balanced" :rolleyes:

I vowed a few months ago that if I ever see Chris Matthews face to face I'll offer him a Ricola...then as his confusion becomes apparent, I'll explain that I assumed his throat is sore from the Obama camp.
1911pro I wish I didn't know that about Danny D.
I think we're all going to need to practice deep breathing if we plan to make it through the next four without losing sanity.
I didn't watch. I processed a walk in order and showed my uncle how the Dillon 650 worked and how it was different than the 550 he recently bought.
Today I was on the phone almost the whole day, literally, taking orders for PMAGs. That is about all anyone was interested in. Same with the online stuff.
And Obama does not even become President for almost 3 months and it will take him a while to deal with the economy (Ie, try to fix it and kill it in the process) and giving BJs to the Europeans and Arabs.
He won't want to risk a gun ban before the 2010 elections I don't think. At least until gets his tax and other plans passed. And until he can stack SCOTUS.

Chad nailed it...there should be plenty of time for me to order LOTS of mags, and a SCAR-H.
Fox News has been all over him..."A night of hope, a night where anything seems possible...." Lot's of schmoozing all over him. Of course I haven't liked Fox News since the Clinton years when they actually went after government instead of acting as it's mouthpiece...maybe we'll see that old watchdog return.
Who knows what's going on there though...Rupert Murdoch is one weird dude. My cousin used to be an editor at the WSJ, and if I remember right Murdoch threw a couple of fundraisers for Hillary.

I think you and Chad are wrong and here is why. Obama's policies have not been, are not currently, and will not be popular. People did not vote for his policies, they voted for a rock star. Ask a random 10 obama supporters to even get in the f-ing ball park of what he stands for and if 1 gets in the zipcode I'll personally punch my self in the nuts.
If he is half as smart as people say he is, the first thing he should do is disarm America. Not only will this ring pure in the hearts of most of his ghetto supporters but it will serve to quell any real chance of opposition to his eventual policy changes. Think about it people.....
Question is, what are YOU going to do about it? What will you do when they come for your freedom? Will you kill and die for what's right, regardless of your current situation? Or are you just another coward, like those infesting Europe?
I have no idea what internet monitoring capabilities "the government" has, but I know they're at least as good as mine- so I will not answer this question. Hope that answers your question. :)
As mentioned above, the filibuster is intact. Many of the Democrat House pickups were Blue Dogs. And believe it or not it could have been far worse: Billary Clinton could be back in the White House.
Check back here in a year. I predict that the doomsayers will find their short term paranoia misplaced, there will be no new AWB, and we'll all still be purchasing our AR's and Mags - maybe at a premium and maybe not. Obama is not going to stake his political capital on pushing gun control measures, imho, the sun will rise and we're not going to turn into a communist country. . . . . now I need to place a gun order for . . . . a Colt SAA in .45 Long Colt - how's that for tactical?

I just got back from mission, I was on a patrol this morning and a bunch of kids were more excited than usual to see us. An older kid came up to me and said he's very excited...I asked why and he said, "Obama is your new president, Obama loves Afghanistan and will give us more help." I had no idea who won until that moment.
I pondered the future as i listen to this sh*t-covered kid while standing on a rutted out dirt road partially submerged in raw sewage...I asked what he thought about McCain, he said, "McCain is a bad bad man, he bombed children, he hates Afghanistan and all Muslims." Gotta love the media.
The whole wide world is happy...they say change is a coming, but I doubt it. Our Government is a freight train chugging along, replacing the conductor doesn't move the tracks.
Welfare recipients, felons, terrorist, and foreign countries were all pulling for this guy...... and the rest of his supporters though it was a good idea to follow these obviously wise people...............
Good rule of thumb... find out who the minimum wage employees support and go the other way.
The media created this guy and every news service but Fox went right along with it. This should be a wake up call to all Americans who love this country that the mass media was able to sway so many people in such a short time is freightening! We need to stick together now more than ever GOD BLESS AMERICA!

........ok, I'll bite.
Let me use the global warming argument.
Lets say you continue to and even ramp up your gun purchasing in light of what happened tonight. In a year, you are right. No AWB no new gun legislation etc. What have you lost?

Lets say you do NOT continue to or ramp up your gun purchasing in light of what happened tonight and you are wrong..... What have you won?
All signs point to "buy it cheap and stack it deep" even using the echoed "hope" argument.
Beyond that and far more importantly... What in recent history makes you feel
A. People/politicians do the right thing
B. Our guns are safe?
Some of you are saying our fear is misplaced when in reality we have every bit of evidence on our side supporting our views. It is your "hope" and optimism that lacks and historical evidence and is misplaced I fear. Do what you want, as for me and my household, provisions are being taken far beyond guns and ammo. PM me for details.
All signs point to "buy it cheap and stack it deep" even using the echoed "hope" argument.
Odd... all those HOPE stickers and t-shirts for BHO... Now WE'RE gonna be the one's banking on HOPE. I think I'll make a HOPE t-shirt of my own.
I had said all along that if Obama wins I hope it is by a landslide. Two reasons one it meant that more people actually got out and voted than ever before. Second, it sends a message to the rest of the world that the people of this great country have had enough. Bush is HATED around this world and if McCain had won the message would have been whether we like it or not, yup those Americans have become sheep and but in Bush Jr. Flawed, maybe, but that's what the result would have been. Now the world is saying Wow, the people of the US are pissed and fed up, so much so they elected the first black President in their history. God Bless the US and let's make sure we stand up for our freedoms in every area that made this place great in the beginning!
Peace! :confused:
Ya poor you, your just going to make money.All i have to say is you better save all this money that your going to be getting, and find another line of work.Are new pres wont like the things you sell to us common folk.
Yes poor me. Why? Because it is flat out crazy and I cannot keep up with it. I have been refusing orders and work right and left.
My wife and I were Systems Engineers for the USAF so worse case is that I go back to that line of work (and most likely make more money and work less hours). ;)

I think the USA was shown at it's very worst yesterday. We have now given the same forgiveness that we grace our actor's and athlete's to someone that will sit in the most important office in the world. Obama began his run with a lie about how he would fund his campaign, and then the avalanche of questionable associations followed that. I hope (and I really do hope now) that even though I'm not a supporter of Obama that he breaks with his history and veers to the right some to draw the country closer together. The extreme liberal left background doesn't give me much hope of this. His record speaks volumes and obviously people don't care. The economy isn't going to be front page news if a weakened country gets attacked again and I fear he will weaken our military and make really bad decisions. The overwhelming amount of money he spent buying the voted of the ignorant was too much for the rest of us to overcome. Had it been smart Obama voters against smart McCain voters then it would have been much closer and probably McCain would have come out on top, but his money allowed him to reach out to the young, inexperienced, and immature voters and they bought into his rhetoric. I'm sure the promise of "spreading the wealth" convinced a lot of go nowhere, do nothing people to get out and vote for their handout.
I am almost of the opinion to give them what they want. Some times people have to learn lessons the hard way.
I do have hope though. For my Christian brothers and sisters, I believe that God's intention was to bring Sarah P. into the spotlight and line her up for 2012.

My wife and I were discussing the exact same things last night.
It's funny how she was attacked too; it was about her clothes more than her record.
Had it been smart Obama voters against smart McCain voters then it would have been much closer and probably McCain would have come out on top, but his money allowed him to reach out to the young, inexperienced, and immature voters and they bought into his rhetoric.
I forgot that voting was only reserved for the old, experienced and mature. Thanks for reminding me.

It's a sad day when the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam gets their spokesman in the White House and the world celebrates!! :mad:
Let's face reality, the media gave this Presidency to someone who we all know is wholly unqualified. I'm going to make a prediction: THIS WILL BE THE WORST PRESIDENCY IN TH HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. Even worse that Jimmy Carter's.
Now much we can do at this point except hope for the best but prepare for the worst. :(
