Phil.

Truer words have not been spoken!  When I heard the news that he was our 
president... I was depressed.  No... more than depressed.  I was devastated. 
Still am!  Did I love McCane?  I liked him.  He had more morals and values 
than Obama did.  America is becoming an immoral Godless nation, and we will 
be judged!  How can we elect as our leader, one who will so willingly 
out&out murder the unborn... whether it be by partial birth, or regular 
abortion?  How can we elect as our leader one who is so willing to overturn 
the sacred values of marriage to include the homosexuals or lesbians?  How 
can we elect one as our leader who is laughing at the Christian faith, or 
say that the Bible is outdated?  How can we elect as our leader one who has 
known ties to terrorism... whether it be in the past or present?  I am 
terrified where our nation is going to go during the next four years!
