I don't care who you vote for, but you should at least make an informed choice. If you can't trouble yourself to figure out exactly who you're voting for you should do the responsible thing and not vote. Let the people who actually know what their candidate stands for decide who becomes our next president.

Now you're just talking crazy.

To make time for transition of power

To ensure continuity of white house christmas decorations and tree-lighting.

I like this speech better though...

We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

I voted for Obama, but how do you or I know what this country needs? lol

I haven't ventured into P&N this year, but could someone give me a synopsis of why they think Obama is such a horrible choice compared to McCain?

I couldn't give you an itemized list of why I voted for Obama. He just seems like the better man. I identified with his words more.

I suppose it's always a gamble. That's why we have elections every 4 years.

10 bucks that he gets elected in 2012 too, though. 😉 lol

I agree, but I think the uneducated votes are accounted for on both sides. The name-of-the-day guy will get a lot of votes but the other guy would get votes from his supporter's friends based on word-of-mouth alone. Why are there so many signs from people showing who they support otherwise? I don't see a bulleted list of ideals under those signs. Popularity anyone?

Voting is not going to be black & white... (no pun blah blah blah).

At least a new AT inside joke came out of this election.

 

[Pardus]

I didn't vote for Obama, voted against Palin.. now alaska can have there village idiot back. He made a nice speech tonight, now let's see what he actually does. The economy is in the shitter.. hope he is ready for this.

I admit, I was tearing up a bit too when Obama spoke, and so was my roommate. That has never happened to me after a presidential election, if my candidate won or lost. <sniffs>

And I think the world may think there is actually hope for our country now, too. We may have just gone back a bit to a real Democracy from our fascist imperialist overlords in the Republikrat party, which is the most important thing. I bet the Republikrats are shredding documents like crazy right now. They can start with the unpatriot acts. They have a lot to hide from the people and even more to answer for, and now they will.

And I happened to be watching CNN, too, BTW.

You have got to be kidding me. You wouldn't know a facist regime if it took a shit on your face if you think we've got it so bad. I didn't like the W administration either but this sloganeering bullshit isn't worth the ink it would be written if this were on paper and not a computer screen.

First, it's FASCIST, DUMB SHIT. You obviously wouldn't know one if it shit in your face if you are too damn stupid to even know how to spell one. Nice try though, you sorry assed Bible thumping Republikrat shill.

FASCISM

A form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victim hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion. ? Robert O. Paxton, The Anatomy of Fascism

Pretty much sums up the Republikrats of the last 8 years, deny it all you wish to, the comparisons are obvious, even for a Republikrat stooge like yourself. You might even like this little primer to enlighten yourself a bit on FASCISM and the Republikrat party.

14 Points of fascism: The warning signs

Thanks though for really trying to be informative about the definition of a facist, Republikrat loser.

 

[fustercluck]

Yes! Hooray for Obama!

Ahhh finally it's over. I was really nervous there for a while that all the idiots out there would win McCain/Palin the election. I'm pretty sure my signature here gave Obama the bump he needed.

I could be wrong, but when he mentioned the ClintonNewsNetwork it changed everything.

Umm, I hate to burst your bubble, I only mentioned that because the thread title was "CNN CALLS IT!" not because I was some CNN stooge. I was watching CNN when they first reported the twin towers getting hit by planes, too. So what's your point? 😕

Exactly...no one knows. You vote for a guy to lead you through problems, not a guy who will supply a country its "needs" because one guy cannot do that.

All those weeping faces at the Obama ceremony. Do they look like they want a leader or a savior?

 

[rh71]

^ well that wouldn't have happened if 2004's winner didn't win.

Really? You think so? Maybe if I took a shit on your face, you would change your mind about that? 😛

These are the types of stupid responses rude shits make online to people, and they would never dare to make to someones face in person. Why would anyone tolerate this crap HERE in OT or in P&N? And why should I tolerate it here? Please, explain this to me.

I'm not sure his statement really came off as misogynistic. It's no secret that Palin was highly unqualified to be the VP. It's not like he said he wasn't voting for her because she's a woman, but that she's not that bright, which can be said of any person from either sex.

Agreed, I didn't see his statement as misogynistic at all personally. I'm all for a woman president, hell I voted for Hillary in the primaries, but there were so many things I disliked about Palin, the fact that she was a woman was the farthest thing in my mind.

Hard to blame people to see in different color of shades in such an emotionally charged event. This year's entire election process from the primaries on have become extremely personal to people.
