Just for the hell of it, since I'm home sick, I watched most of the Mike Huckabee show on Fox tonight. I was curious to see what Fox was saying at this point, with an Obama victory in sight. They had on Eagleberger and Bolton as "expert" speakers. Bolton obviously was pro McCain as to be expected, and so was Eagleberger. But the latter was so incoherant and ridiculous that even Huckabee was cutting him off (or it was done in the editing room). Saying things like "Obama is a charlaton" without any justification at all.
Horrible, horrible people. I am sure theat race is an issue here. The main message of the show was finances. Huckabee left it off with the same kind of message of fear that the Bush admisnistration has fed us for the last eight years, saying something like "Are YOU going to be allright the day after the election" or some bullshit..... Ugg. I want the last hour of my life back. It's amazing how hard it is for racists to accept a black man (well, half black) will be president...... |

Depends on your picks in the drinking game, I guess.

I was thinking of maybe an "eating the leftover Halloween candy" game, since I gotta work on Wednesday.
But that might go badly too, despite a low hangover risk ![]() |

Personally, I think I'll be fine regardless to be quite honest.
But that doesn't mean that because I won't be directly affected millions of others won't. United States citizens are all part of a larger picture, and yet still retain our individual realities. I for one am willing to give up any kind of self-protection in order to benefit the most in this country, and our standing in the world. Anyway, Huckabee is a game show host douchebag. |

My friend & I were talking about election day. We were wondering if we'd be breaking out the champagne or something to celebrate a victory, or getting so plastered in order to deal with the reality if, god forbid, our candidate does not win. I better pick up a split of champagne or something for Tuesday :Pray:

I plan on pulling an all-nighter on Tuesday....
I've never done that before...I've always stayed up until 2am or so and then gone to bed, only to wake in the morning to find out who's been elected. Not this time; I will have a steady flow of alcohol going from 9pm (when I get home from work) until the announcement is made....even if it's 8am..... I know I won't sleep; so I'm preparing for a long night of anxiety..... |

I haven't decided what I'm doing, I'll probably go to one of the two parties that are happening.
Unfortunately I have to and I mean HAVE TO be up at 7 am the next day, so it will probably be a 4 hr sleep or so, thankfully I'm actually used to those. |

Barack Obama, a liar or a religious bigot? He has given statements which make him seem like an unbeliever, I would lean towards the whole religious objection to gay marriage being a lie, calculated to be sure but probably necessary, same goes for sticking with Reverend Wright, it was only poor judgement when Wright became a liability. |

It seems he chose Wright's church for political reasons when it became a political liablity he disassociated he is against Gay Marriage for political reasons, not religious reasons. |

Statistically speaking American politics must be crammed with atheists and agnostics, more so than the general population, Obama may well extoll the benefits of religious communities for social welfare but by championing faith based initiatives he really brings those ideas into the mainstream when they should be off the table.
Calling him an atheist or an unbeliever feels like an insult at the man, it isn't nor should it be, if more people who are atheists or agnostics openly hold political office it could undercut the negative attitudes (fostered in part by the "war on Christmas" type stories which are inevitably the only times secularists get into the papers). Obama seems to keep his beliefs ambiguous and low key and makes a point of not infusing them into every position, thats fine (for similar reasons I could not vote McCain / Palin if I had the chance). Religious faith in political candidates is not a virtue, intelligence and personality can be. The religious left, who "retake" Christianity for social justice just turn me right off. I have no problem being bigoted towards the injection of faith into politics, because at the end of the day I am not supporting discrimination or using taxpayers funds to support supernaturalism. |

I have to be up at 7am too, and I'm in Europe, so I'm just really screwed. Luckily we have better coffee over here.

I'm taking vacation days Tuesday and Wednesday. I figured a few months ago it was pointless for me to be at work, since all I'd want to do is be glued to CNN.com or something. I doubt I'd be able to stay up all night, but I suppose it will depend on how close it is when 11 or 12 rolls around on the west coast. I am hopeful I will get to spend Wednesday celebrating. |

I just wanted to step in and say that I think it's a bit unfair to question whether or not Obama is actually a Christian. It's just irksome when people criticize the Christian Right (which I do on a regular basis, I have no problem with that) and wish that Christians would behave differently in the political arena. Yet, when have a Christian who comes along that does live his/her faith differently in the public eye we question their beliefs. There are a lot of us Christians (myself included), who are intellectual, reasonable, and proponents of both theology and political policy that aren't typically held by the majority of evangelical or mainstream American Christianity. There's no reason to doubt that Obama's faith isn't genuine. As for the gay marriage, example, I too would be disappointed if he disagreed on religious grounds, but, I personally feel that most politicians disagree on political grounds. Frankly, I'd be willing to bet that Bush supports gay marriage in his heart of hearts, but could never say so. It's disappointing, but it's reality, and it'll take time to change.
