The morality, responsibility and consistency of those who voted for the winner may be gauged by the statement - which I have already encountered three or four times - that they "hope" that those of us who warned them against him were wrong.

Hope.

They have elected a politician to the most powerful post in the West based on what they hope he will prove.

Such appalling insouciance and irresponsibility is certain to be punished. God may delay His punishment for sin - often to the next world - but He never intermits anything to the punishment for stupidity, which is always paid, and paid strictly and with plenty of interest, here on Earth.

And wouldn't another way of putting that be, some of his promises contradicted the majority of his promises? I'm not arguing politics here, merely semantics. If most of his promises were different to a lesser proportion of them, then one could argue that he meant the majority of what he said, not the lesser proportion.

If that makes any sense. I'm rather tired. :)

What frosts me was the free ride he got from his liberals. Not that I'm a fan of marriage, but he said he supported defining marriage as a hetrosexual pairing. Then he was against making that a legal definition. So he won California, but his 'supporters' still voted against gay marriage. A scary demonstration of liberal leadership.

One person who noticed. Of course you are particularly sensitive to this issue, but how many other women in America are and did not? I know we are on opposite sides of this fence, but I could just *hug* you right now, not because you agree with me - you don't - but because you understand that I have some reason to fear.

*Hugs accepted with gratitude* I'd rather disagree with you than agree with a dozen charming cowards who massage words and actions right out of their true meaning.

*grins* Even if said cowards had attractive smiles, fascinating African backgrounds and an open path to the highest office in the land? Actually, I should have expected that of you.

There is nothing more attractive in a person than a spine.
