I like the fact that we just elected a man that has pretty much done nothing for this country(if not made it worse than it already was)and we voted out a guy that pretty much gave his LIFE for the country...kinda ironic

One thing I want to point out is in how during his speech when he mentioned McCain, you hear applause, not like boos and jeers from the preceeding speech. What's going to make him great is that hhe wants to work with his rivals to help fix the situation.

by the way skiminnesota, even if I disagree with you on many things, I respect you, because you can engage in a constructive argument.

It doesn't help anything win the little kids on here just start flying the word dicksucker, and faggot.

Yeah, gay marriage was voted on and banned, then overturned and legalized, now apparently banned again... We haven't seen the last of this issue.

How about we all focus on, or at least just acknowledge that we all just witnessed a MAJOR HISTORICAL EVENT seen world wide. I watched with my family and some elderly family friends... like 80 something... their only comparison was to FDR's election, as far as a landmark election event. Whether good or bad in your mind, it was an absolutely momentous event that shook off the inertia we've been wallowing in for... a decade or so now.

Nah but really, someone needs to introduce a law that guarantees the exact same rights, marriage to civil union, for homosexual couples, and we'll all be satisfied.

Really what you need is a supreme court decision that declares any such law unconstitutional. That'd pretty much be the end of it.

You're part of a brand that is now out of the spotlight, finally, and you deserved to be called out for bemoaning your own movement's primary argument for years, back when people were in the minority saying, "but wait, the President shouldn't be doing this". You represent hypocrisy and political posturing and I'm glad what you represent will spend the next four years on the margins of your society.

I found the part about you not being a Republican hilarious. You're not just a Republican for the purposes of this election... You would have supported whoever they put on their ticket. That's devoted right-wingnut-ism, and your denial of it is pathetic and transparent.

honest to god, i am NOT a republican. and if you can call me a right wing nut, then i think i deserve the right to call you a "left wing nut job" problem with  that?

But that's what you are, a caricature, a symbol of an era of our nations history left by the wayside after 8 years of failed policy. It's time to move on and more so GET ALONG.

Not saying you're stereotyping, but be aware that not all Catholics have that IMO, ignorant and deluded, bias against gays.

What the right wing of america considers the far left, the rest of the world considers the center.

When I think of someone considered a left wing flaming nut-job, I think of someone who votes for legal marriage and public fuck shows with deer.
