They lost and r jealous. They still don't want a black man to be president. It's Racism: Plain and simple. these people want a white America and want to continue white supremacy. ;))

It's politics, I've been voting for 20 years and it's not different with him than anyone else. Most republicans are gracious enough to give him a chance. But our voice will still be heard-our representative will hear them and work accordingly.

Because he and his democratic buddies in the House and Senate will raise the National debt / spending by over 3 TRILLION dollars between election day and inauguration. Their spending - 700 Billion Rescue Plan(+ 200-300 Now proposed for Auto Industry Rescue) 200-300 Billion 2nd Stimulus Check - 1 Trillion in New Entitlement Programs - AND the Obama SPONSORED Pet Project - The Global Poverty Act 845 Billion waiting to fall on the Amerivcan Taxpayer any time now. (To provide Aid to OTHER Countries - Above current Aid) Why doesn't he give us a chance?
Before you pop the thumbs down - check to see if these figures aren't factual!

I totally agree.
But, I don't think it is fair to just accuse Republicans. I have plenty of friends that are Democrats that did not vote for Obama.
On the other hand, I think the people also need to let this man do his thing. I have heard just as much praise for the change that is supposedly taking place. Heck, the man won't be sworn into office for another 2 months...so not sure what people are talking about.
I think that all sides just need to cool it and get behind our new President and support him where they can. If anyone truly has some fundamental disagreements with is policies, then by all means, write to your representatives in the US Congress and challenge him. But, let's do our best to be Americans and support our President to move this country forward.
No one likes a sore loser. (Or a bunch of gloating winners.)

I don't have a choice but to give him a chance. I am keeping our nation in my prayers.
I really hope he is as smart as what people think. The man has no experience and he is going to have to be a quick study to catch up with HILLARY or MCCAIN's experience. This is the truth, people. I hope you all realize this.

Remember how bitter we were when Bush screwed us out of 2 presidencies? Well, they are trying that on.
The weird bit is, we were truly screwed (popular vote-wise and corrupt state election boards-wise), whereas they are just being sore losers. They were straight-up beat.
They can complain about Obama if they want, but the really need to take a look in the mirror to see the source of their problems.

Why are Democrats still complaining about Bush after 8 years? We're entitled.
2008-11-09 08:56:14 UTC
Sore losers. They are still made that they lost. I think they are going to give him a hard time because he's the first black president. They should give him a break. Bush is still the president. Fox News is going to be on Obama like white on rice. Hannity has a personal vendetta against Obama. ><

Why have Democrats been praising him since he first decided to run for the office? No substance, no experience, shady back ground, questionable motives and no clear expression of change other than higher taxes?

Well, gee, why did Democrats complain
about Bush when he won? I am
merely making a point since they
complained as well.
Hey Lori, you're a childish knothead.

Well, for one we don't like his plans. They sound good but very often history repeats itself and we've been through this before.
That and a lot of the people who voted for him, voted for him because he is african american. And he didn't play the race card then but now if my great grandpa killed yours during slavery(I'm not condoning it) I'd have to pay you money.
What about my people? A lot of us can't get payed for our problems. We were pushed off our lands. Slaughtered. What about us?
I don't like because his plans can go horribly, horribly wrong.
I pray to God they don't.
And anyways, most of the people who don't like him, don't like him for a reason. Make sense?
We have to give him a chance. We have no choice.
2008-11-09 08:53:11 UTC
I'm Republican, but I'm not complaining, at least not that much. I'll definitely give him a chance even though I don't like him or his policies.

2008-11-09 08:53:34 UTC
We'll give him the same chance that the Dems gave Bush for the past 8 years. Fair enough?
2008-11-09 08:54:01 UTC
Of Course I will but why are YOU already so defensive about Obama when I suspect that you were NEVER defensive about Bush ?

This is certainly the opinion of a great number of republicans here on yahoo answers,if its representative of the republican party I'm not sure,but what I am sure of,is the republican party has an Identity problem,and if yahoo answers is representative,than they are in denial of the historic election we just witness!

Republicans should quit complaining and whining and let BO do exactly as he pleases.

Because he as already started showing us the direction he is planning on going. Fasten your seat belts, its going to be a bumpy ride.
2008-11-09 08:57:47 UTC
Tell me one good politically related plan that Obama has and I will stop complaining. Go freedom!
2008-11-09 08:57:55 UTC
Number 1 reason I am complaining is because I read his change.gov website, before he scrubbed it clean, and it confirmed all of my fears about him being a far left wingnut.
2008-11-09 08:55:06 UTC
They're just a bunch of sore losers. I would give them all tissues to wipe their tears up but to apparently giving out free things to people who don't deserve it is communism, so I'll keep my hard earned tissues to myself and backhand them back to the streets where they belong.

They are complaining about the weather, Palin, McCain, Lieberman, the Mccain advisers...
They have no choice on Obama, he will chew them up and spit them out if they don't get it pretty soon.

Because he doesn't think it's fair for some people to WORK HARD to earn more money than other people. He wants to take hard-working people's money and give it to lazy bums. THAT'S WHY.
Shh! Be vewy, vewy quiet

That's what I'm talking about. The man hasn't even taken his oath yet. They are all ready talking about what he isn't going to do. I wish they would see back and give him a chance. They pumped Bush up and what did that idiot do in 8 years...not a damn thing (that was positive at least).

2008-11-09 09:09:39 UTC
What do you mean "already"? They've been moaning about him like whiney children for the last two years. Its very childish.
2008-11-09 08:53:42 UTC
bitter, sour grapes, fear-mongers....you have a whole negative list of reasons why.
of course you have to understand, they have been TROUNCED the last two elections. Two years ago they were the pary in control and in charge. Now, they have completely lost everything and baraly qualifiy as a political party.
what's left of them are ANGRY, ANGRY, ANGRY
2008-11-09 08:58:49 UTC
I'll bet ya dollar to a donut hole, that you wouldn't have voted for him if he was all white..

Because Republicans are "professional whiners." (Ken Duberstein said that.)
edit:
I love these thumbs downs... it just shows how people are unwilling to believe that a Republican told the truth about his party.
"I told John the right wing never wants to be satisfied; they're professional whiners," Duberstein remembers now. "They are never happy. So don't kill yourself trying. They will never trust you, not matter what you do for them."

He's had his chance for over a year. He's told many lies and made promises he cannot keep. I've seen enough to know I've seen too much.
2008-11-09 08:53:11 UTC
Let them whine. They are mad because they are powerless. Best thing that's happened to the USA in the last 8 years.
2008-11-09 08:52:47 UTC
Because we're RACISTS!!! lol
2008-11-09 08:52:14 UTC
THEY ARE JEALOUS AND BITTER.
WHY?.................
BECAUSE THEY LOST!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
REPUBLICANS WOULD NEVER ADMIT THAT THEY RAN A DIRTY ELECTION. THEY LIED, THEY SMEARED, THEY NAME-CALLED, THEY USED FEAR TACTICS AND THEY SPENT ALL THEIR TIME BASHING OBAMA INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON THE ISSUES! THEY SAT BY AND LET MCCAIN/PALIN RUIN THEIR PARTY, ALL BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT SMEARING WAS THE WAY TO GO. AND IT CAME BACK TO BITE THEM IN THE AZZZZ!
OBAMA -BIDEN 2008 - 2016!
