John McCain Concedes: ‘The American People Have Spoken and They Have Spoken Clearly’
Outside of the Arizona Biltmore Hotel shortly after 9 pm, McCain conceded the presidential election to Barack Obama, starting with ‘the American people have spoken and they have spoken clearly.’
Standing with Governor Sarah Palin, her husband Todd and his wife, Cindy, McCain spoke to a crowd of disappointed supporters as he wished President Obama the best and urged unity within the American people. While I commend McCain’s dignified, albeit forced, speech, his supporters have once again proven to be the type of people who will not let this go and who will not accept defeat and work as a people towards change and the democracy this country was based on. The supporters of McCain’s who gathered outside of the Arizona Biltmore Hotel have proven to be the type of people we have become all too familiar with throughout this past campaign; the type of people who resort to name calling when the facts aren’t the facts that they want to accept and the type of people who are afraid of what this country can do when it is united for one purpose. These people went as far as to obviously strike a chord within John McCain himself and the one thing that I must absolutely commend him on is not allowing his supporters to disrespect their new president.
If you missed McCain’s concession, the video is below. I personally have watched it three times because apparently, my local news could not get enough of it and had it looping for an hour.

Sex-Positivity
I'm passionate about sex-positivity and believe every sexual being should have the freedom to explore their sexuality safely and without condemnation. I even lost my ad network after my refusal to censor myself after reviewing feminist porn.So if you're in the market for sex toys, porn, books, etc. take a look at the retailers below, all of which are feminist-friendly.
Out Campaign
The OUT Campaign allows individuals to let others know they are not alone. It can also be a nice way of opening a conversation and help to demolish the negative stereotypes of atheists. Let the world know that we are not about to go away and that we are not going to allow those that would condemn us to push us into the shadows.
How strange subject this !.
noticed sarah palin's red nose – shed a few tears did she? I found McCain's speech to be truly from a gentleman and very respectful. I just didn't like it when his supporters started booing whenever he mentioned Obama's name.
I salute McCain for being a true gentleman. His speech was superb.
The boo's from the crowd and the yelling of words was a true testament to how McCain's campaign has been run all along.
What's worse than the booing and jeering are the hopes for assassination and snide comments of “I can't wait to see Obama fuck things up” that have been posted on every blog I frequent by McCain supporters. It's disgusting. They had their eight years and they fucked it up, big time – it's our turn now.
I honestly hope McCain meant what he said in his concession speech. If he does, and he actually acts that way, now THAT would be something to admire. Words are cheap, and so was the majority of his campaign. If he had conducted his campaign like he did this speech, the race might have been tighter.
If I never hear Sarah Palin's voice again it will be too soon for me.
