McCain is a sad old man. To bad his best days are long gone.

Wonder if this message will get through . . . .

JUNEAU, Alaska – The Alaska Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a lower court decision in the disputed U.S. Senate race, saying the state correctly counted write-in votes for Sen. Lisa Murkowski. It is now up to Republican Joe Miller to decide if the election is finally over.

The court said in its ruling it found "no remaining issues raised by Miller that prevent this election from being certified."

It should be over now, but some probably will carry on with the
*itching & moaning as usual.

Heck, I didn't agree with the outcome of
Bush v Gore, but I got over it.

I have been watching the thread for a few weeks now.

Why don't we all take a break for the holidays and have a good time.

There will be plenty of time to be offended by politics after the New Year.

I hereby call on all parties to be forget your political affiliation until January 2, 2011.

Happy Christmas and New Year.

What?? You didn't like the pictures of the Washington Christmas Trees?

Feel free to make all the resolutions you like for the Christmas season
but I'll still make my comments whenever I feel the need to make them,
thanks.

I find it highly amusing that Ms. Palin's own candidate in her own state got handed his hat...and by her nemesis!

Delicious!

I KNEW I know you.

Keep focusing on the bait... "Ms. Secretary" (hint - another clue as to who you are.)

Not really a resolution, Just seeing if I could barter for a little Peace on Earth/Pet Talk for a few days.

I guess I suck as a ambassador of good will.

Never mind.

Your heart is in the right place Richard. Its just this is the best Christmas liberals could have hoped for.

Lack of ethics in an election, check. Lack of respect for the law, check. Unions and special interests buying a senator, check. Its a liberal holiday trifecta.

Good idea Richard........

This more-than-a-little-left of center Liberal says "Merry Christmas and happy New Year", Wom. I still respect other cultures, but I do say "Merry Christmas."

So do I. So why all the political correctness ???
I respect other cultures as well, and some are offended by Merry Xmas ???
Perhaps other cultures should learn to respect other than themselves.
I don't hear too much about respect from them, but I do hear a lot of "I am offended" by them.
The melting pot theory is a great idea.......if we ALL agree with it.
