My niece is 6 and she woulda cried if she heard Obama lost, and all we told her was that we were gonna vote for him and he was the prezzo. She's 6. AIn't no biggie to me. :\

Did you tell her the country will collapse if Obama loses?

I told her he had a daughter that kinda looked like her....same difference?

 

[bandit country]

please find people in tears over kerry not being elected president.

That didn't take very long.

You do know that Bush getting re-elected meant a lot of people's family members wouldn't be coming home from Iraq or Afghanistan, right? No? Ok, cool. Same thing, got it.

 

[bandit country]

You got all that from my post, did you?

 

[Betonblck]

The polls say otherwise with the only group that supports Romney being white men.

I said on here.

Divide is coming from both ends of the spectrum, more on the conservative side but plenty of the liberal side. Don't understand what you're argument is by stating the polls.

The polls represent real people. As in the only divide is coming from white men who would support a lying scumbag because he is white. It's just like those studies that show white people will hire a convicted uneducated white felon before hiring a minority with degree and no criminal background.

 

[ninjahood]

Those are a lot of pictures of various venues. To not come across a single non-white face is telling.



And I'd love to see hood in a champion hoodie and some foams at the front of one of those conservative rallies.

So me being a independent = Republican...ok

Fellas, my advice? Dont take make fun of other's misfortune..

Da midterm elections is only 2 years away.. back in 2008 da GOP was declared dead

And they came roaring back in 2010.

Obama wont have bush's dead horse to kick on for too much longer so he better

Fix that economy or its curtains for alot of his agendas when it hits da house.

Let's not group all white men together.

I agree with what you saying though. The "good ole boys" can't seem to accept the fact the face of america is changing.

 

[mronegative]

You got all that from my post, did you?

Why, you got more pictures?

 

[bandit country]

Yes. The New York Times has an outstanding archive feature and numerous slide shows. It's as if 2004 was yesterday, in fact. You're welcome to see for yourself.

 

[mronegative]

Just Google it.

I'm good, buddy.

It's funny because I had a professor for 3 weeks telling me how accurate Rasmussen & Gallup were in the past and what their polls were saying for Obama & Romney, and telling me Romney would win, and I said those polls are outliers, and Obama is going to have a comfortable win...

Rasmussen was great in 2008, they sold out tho. Can't be trusted again.

I know where they were in 08. But saw where they were in 10, and I knew where they were going to be again..

And Gallup having Romney +5 for 2 weeks up until the day before the election when Obama cut the lead down to 1. You could tell they were gone this election cycle

Fix that economy or its curtains for alot of his agendas when it hits da house.

There's been a systematic attempt for several centuries to create misfortune for minorities.

That's all by design...

The GOP for the most part has been the main catalyst...initiating insidious forms of policy that target certain demographics...it's nothing new.

 

[essential1]

Fix that economy or its curtains for alot of his agendas when it hits da house.

All of his agenda was Curtains Day 1 that the 112th Congress came into office in 2011 in the House, the Do-Nothing Party has done absolutely nothing to work with Obama.

And let's not act like before 2010 they really voted for anything Obama tried to pass either.. Not 1 republican voted for the Stimulus.. NOT 1. Yet they still begged for stimulus funds, and wrote how great it would be for their district to have the funds.

I really wish you would begin even remotely educating yourself in politics. It's been like this for 2 years, and you still work off the same generalities in politics and it's sickening how little your understanding of politics has evolved.

 

[duo maxwell]

Ron Paul >

 

[RustyShackleford]

Ron Paul >

He is a social conservative. Which goes against his claim of being a libertarian

And he believes is some pretty loony/dangerous things. Like hoping the church will rise in power in the US, to the point it would be on the same level as the government. And he doesn't believe in the separation of church and state.

I will never vote for that dude. Period. Jill Stein, yeah. Gary Johnson, maaaaaaaybe (but doubtful). Ron Pual, never

-In other news Obama is making it clear that if House Republicans try to hold the negotiations hostage, he is down to let all the tax cuts expire and make it known to the public that House Republicans are causing their taxes to increase just to give the rich another tax cut.

My body is ready for a State of the Union address throwing Cantor, Boehner, and company under the bus.

da GOP were da original party of minorities doe.

spending discipline is what they're good at. if obama can't come to da table and tell his FAR left wing of da parties that some of their pet projects gotta

get under control then da GOP which for da moment has no control of its FAR right (even their house speaker cant speak sense into them) is gonna make sure

mutually assured destruction is realized via da fiscal cliff.

The filth they pushed is disgusting ad set race relations back for decades.

Child Please. That is simply not true

The Dems spend money of social programs, the GOP spend on wars and tax cuts for the rich.

Pick your poison

da GOP dont respect color, they respect dollar signs and in many ways i respect people like that. cuz their is no love, only a check so you

know where you always stand with folks like that. it may be harsh as hell, but its real.

far left people are just as bad, but alot of folks aren't fluent in pointing them out.

i just know im independent, so i aint afraid to pick ideas from both sides and see a common sense solution in regard to how it would benefit me.

 

[phillyzphan]

Just read an article on USA Today's site stating that former MLB HOF'er Reggie Jackson liked that Obama won but wished that Romney was his VP. Ignoring that it was Reggie Jackson that brought this up and not some political analyst, is there any way that something like this could work now in today's government, where the winner becomes president and the runner up becomes the vp? I know that this exact thing was stopped in the 1800's because of the 12th amendment but it kind of intrigues me. Since the election everyone is talking about how split the country is. Could this be a way to come to some sort of bipartisanship?

They don't respect a black man with money or with success they just want their people to succeed they openly say this.You think if I move next door to some republicans with a chauffeur chef in the crib and millions in the bank he respect me nah son not a chance you sound like an Uncle Tom right now son .Dudes who profit off of Racism and discrimination gonna respect a black man or a Mexican with money son please they will never view you as an equal you could be richer and have more power yet they won't respect you one bit.

Those peace loving Democrats. Republicans are scumbags, no doubt, but the pass that Democrats get is astonishing and simply ignores history. Where do you get the balls to say something so ABSURD?
