The ..2012.... Political thread

Both the UK and France define liberty for me...though in diffrent ways. I still take pride in the fact that people around the world still want to come here I'll just leave you with an observation: John Adams, a noted patriot from Massachusetts , was elected our second president after George Washington. He owned a farm up here and always tended to it himself...he would not have slaves to work it. When he arrived at the White House, that was still under construction , the one you see in the pictures today, he and his wife Abigail, were stunned to find "slaves" working to finish. A friend of mine from Singapore wrote me and said how excited he was about our election....he's been following it all along...we've known each other for some years now. He told me how "inspiring" it was for him to think that the son of a goat herder from Kenya might be the leader of the most powerful nation on the planet. Watch tonight, after midnight EST, the folks of the town of Dixville, New Hampshire about 45 minutes from where I am now, will cast their votes
Obama wins in earliest vote 1 hour ago DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) ? Barack Obama came up a big winner in the presidential race in Dixville Notch and Hart's Location, N.H., where tradition of having the first Election Day ballots tallied lives on. Democrat Obama defeated Republican John McCain by a count of 15 to 6 in Dixville Notch, where a loud whoop accompanied the announcement. The town of Hart's Location reported 17 votes for Obama, 10 for McCain and two for write-in Ron Paul. Independent Ralph Nader was on both towns' ballots but got no votes. The first Dixville Notch voter, following tradition established in 1948, was picked ahead of the midnight voting and the rest of the town's 21 registered voters followed suit in Tuesday's first minutes. Town Clerk Rick Erwin said the northern New Hampshire town is proud of its tradition, but added that the most important thing is that the turnout represents a 100 percent vote. President Bush won the votes in Dixville Notch and Hart's Location in 2004 on the way to his re-election.

Grandma just died. I knew it. I told friends when Obama went to Hawaii to visit his ill grandmother that she was gonna die the day before the election to get the sympathy vote. Or at least announce her death on the eve of the election if she dies within two to three days of the election. I could be wrong. But I'm basing my opinion on the fact that the Obama campaign has used every trick in the book to get elected on November 4th, while using their dupes in the media to destroy anyone who might get in his way. They even take money from anyone, anywhere in the world, for any amount. The legal maximum means nothing. Manually disable the AVS software, keep each donation (transaction) under $200 and we won't have to open our books when the ridiculous laughable sum of $150 million comes in for a single month. Everyone will know it's fraud and the only way to prove it is to hand our records over to the FEC, but they can't make us. RIP grandma, you've been thrown under the bus for the last time.
Oh my god. Is this a joke? Are you serious? You are accusing Obama of somehow strategically conspiring to have his grandmother DIE at a convenient time for him? Are you going to elaborate on how he may have done this? I can't believe what I am reading.

That's your typical left wing hatred. They are all mentally deranged and they celebrate the deaths of people on the right while hoping their deaths were slow and painful. ... But the Democrats are so vile and devoid of any morals. They would steal candy from a child.
MikeMC, do you really think that lowly of democrats? You think every single person in the democratic party has no morals whatsoever? I just want to make sure I'm reading this right because I rarely see anyone be so rude and closed-minded publicly. I guess it's just the optimist in me. And by the way, maybe you should take a step and look at the way YOU are representing your party. Throwing insults, far-fetched accusations, suggesting (no, declaring) that anyone who disagrees with you completely lacks morality... I am a democrat and frankly I thank God you are on the other side so I don't have to be embarrassed by this type of childish behavior.

I think you are the one making a mockery on yourself! Oh, mercy!
No I simply prefer to laugh at certain thoughts that I can read regularly everywhere from certain American people who think they are the best, superior, the saviors, higher, wiser and so on... how pathos! Sorry but I ain't gonna cry for such people's comment! This is just hillarious! Thankfully, many Americans aren't this way and are much more open to the world, to the whole universe. It is them who make their country beautiful. And I have the pleasure to know some of them.
You are so pathetic coming over here and spew your vile ! Why don't you get out and throw yourself to the rabid animals! Stop being so dramatic---we do not need it!

When I started this thread - I knew that I would get a mix of thoughts and emotions ...... thanks for the many replies here up to this point. Today - I will vote ..... not knowing who I will cast the vote for up to the last minute - and to put the fate of my vote to a coin toss -- no way! I am doing paper, scissors, rock!!! The paper is Obama -- one might think that everything looks good on paper ----- until it is put into practice. The scissors will be Ralph Nader -- cutting where they may cut one never knows who is behind the scissors The Rock is McCain - steady and strong when needs to be and sometimes dense and heavy. 1-2-3...... paper, scissors, rock.........

I went to the poll this morning and voted straight Republican! It took us only 5 minutes. Now, I feel much better! To win or lose in this election |I doubt it| but at least I did exercise my right to vote!
-
Well I am back from voting and I got to vote 3 times! We have these new voting machines where you marker in your choices on a piece of paper and then insert your paper into a machine which reads your choices. Well to my surprise, there were 3 ballots stuck together. So I filled each one out! Cool!
-
I voted on a standing machine, use a stylus pen and pressed a straight party Republican. It took me 2 minutes!

Today I had a brief conversation with a foreign immigrant, who also happens to be from one of the minority people groups. He didn't like Obama - he started the conversation - without knowing for sure which party that I prefered. We both agree that our vote today (the way we voted) was our personal referendum against the media in general (most tv broadcasters & most magazines & newspapers). Neither of us will be changing our minds for the rest of our lives - without major changes not contained in the present day (& past decade version) of the extremely prejudice so called "fairness doctrine" which should be trashed because it is twisted & evil in its very roots
-
Just wondered if anyone who also happens to be a Democrat: Are you really angry with Sen. Chuck Schumer? He shot off his mouth on election day (a normal activity for him) - except this time it could potentially sway votes from Democrats in general including votes for Sen. Barack Obama Call the damage control

Cremetangerine, maybe you should read my words because the issue is that you can't believe what you're thinking. I never accused Obama of conspiring to have his grandma die on any date or time. There's nothing to elaborate on. If Granma can survive getting thrown under a moving bus she should have been able to survive anything. On my post you made no mention of what really matters in this election where Obama and his supporters are committing all kinds of fraud to get him elected. So I highlighted in blue my comments that you missed in your reply. Care to comment? Today in Philadelphia Black Panthers with police nightsticks were blocking whites from gaining entrance to vote. There were no police on scene because it's considered "voter intimidation" to have a police presence in some voting districts. The police had to be called in to take them away. Care to comment?

You still find the fact that someones Grandma has died funny......a loved one who helped raise him....yet you still preach about OTHER peoples morals. You dont get it do you ?
