Post some interesting quotes and feel free to discuss, agree, or disagree with those already posted.
I grabbed these from the replies to an article on Fox News titled "Why Did Obama Win?"
"There is one bright spot for the McCain/Palin ticket…..they pulled in 100% of the “banjo-pickin’ inbred” demographic. Now there’s a base that can be relied upon in 2012. Go Sarah Go!"

"Why is everyone so agitated and constantly bringing up the anti-christ and end time scenarios. I thought that’s what you have been waiting for. As if going to heaven is going to be bad? If God is in control then you have nothing to worry about and can rejoice for your beliefs will come true. Luckily for the normal ones we can look past President Obama and begin to prepare for 2012. McCain had this race won and would have clearly made it alot closer had it not been his selection of Sarah Palin to appease the CHRISTIAN BASE.Im tired of being represented by a dumb class of people who hold stories written by jews a long time ago as the ultimate truth. No wonder you morons think having sarah palin running for president will be a good thing. All the old neo-cons have to do is piss off the christian base with the extremes of the satanic liberal’s and how its in revelations that a “black president” is somehow going to bring about the end of days.correct me if im wrong but didnt you morons think that bill clinton was the antichrist too. For once i would love to come to this site and see a christian leave a “christ-like” comment, but of course its you christians that leave the most racially narrow comments, you give sensible intelligent republicans a bad name. Im just counting down the hours till you idiots finally fly away in your fiery chariots and finally release us all of your hypocritical rhetoric.

"Republicans, you’ve turned us into a socialist country. You had 20 of the last 28 years to show how a country can thrive under a capitalist system.You had all the right words and all the wrong actions. Guns and Jesus to drawthe Walmart crowd and tax cuts to draw your clients. Don’t even try to blame the democrat reps and senators. You could have done it if you weren’t thinking of yourselves. Both parties can go to hell. Security? Hah. Buy weapons and learn how to hunt and fish. That’s about the only security we have left."

"For all of you talking about the Ten Commandments; In my sermon last Sunday, I tried to make the point that we are all sinners. There are certainly some tenets of the commandments with which Obama and the Democrats do not agree, but there are no real saints among the Republicans either.
Democrats vote for sin; Republicans vote again sin, but sin privately and get caught. Which is worse? Read the story of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18.
There is one way to become the President of the United States, and that is to get the most votes. The American people are the jury that evaluates the progress of the country and the performance of its’ leaders. In 2004, the Republicans were where the Democrats are now, holding the Presidency and majorities in both houses of Congress. In four short years, the tables have turned, because of scandals among the Republicans in Congress and a failure to communicate effectively to the American People. Obama is in because he is a better communicator and ran a better campaign than McCain, than Hillary Clinton, and than everyone else whom he defeated. McCain had a chance to win; they were neck and neck in early September, but McCain could not generate the enthusiasm that Obama did. Obama was able to raise probably 10 times as much cash as McCain, and McCain is personally a lot richer than Obama. It’s not Obama’s fault that he was able to raise the most money. Yes, the media was on Obama’s side, and that is a powerful ally to have, but Reagan and Bush each overcame the media twice. It can be done.
Obama won the election the old fashioned way; he earned it. Now we are going to see if he is as adept enough at governing as he is at oratory. Obama is not the devil; he is a person. He may be a good leader or he may not, but the jury will speak again in four years. But Republicans ought not wish failure on Obama, because if he fails, we all fail.
The Republicans can’t beat the Democrats by being bitter; the Republicans have to be better. They need to find somebody really smart with really good plans, that is really a good speaker, and that can energize the Republican base and draw the undecideds and the Reagan Democrats to run in the next election. But nothing is forever. There will be another election in four years. The more things change, the more they stay the same."

"Obama won because he is an upright person who defends the most elemental christian values:
Help the poor and the needed.
Antiwar and pro-diplomacy.
Strong family values.
Sees any other human being as his equal.
And you, so called Christians, have deviated from the Main Message and have tried to make a religion out of hate and the passage of the rich the camel and the needle.
In the abundance of water the fool is thirsty….
Get over it and think."
