well, that's Obama 62 milion votes, Romney 58 milion. As there in kind of 300 milion of Americans. None of them 180 milions. "None of them" wins again, it's a crushing landslide. Hey, it's true. Source: Out-of-the-box thinking

Not all the votes have been counted ...there are still hundreds of thousands of votes still to be counted in AZ due to voter suppression. Most would go for Obama. http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/11/arizona_uncounted_ballots.php?ref=fpa In the last 5 US presidential elections 20 years...the repubs. have only had a majority popular vote 1 time in 2004. Obama has already beat bush's 2004 total without all the votes counted. Hummm...do you think the US has a message for the repubs?

Mitt Romney's true colors... Mitt Romney Cancels Staff Credit Cards Before They're Even Home:
"Mitt Romney campaign aides had their credit cards canceled late on election night, stranding them to pay their own bills." -
There are women on earth who are not allowed to go to school

This should be one of the most important issues, if not the most important.

al Sabah:
I would say since McKinley, or even Cleveland's second term.
Eisenhower warned against the Military-Industrial Complex in the 1950's. It started during World War II to defeat Hitler and Germany, but it was never dismantled. That's why the Vietnam War took 15 years and why the War in Iraq took 9 and the War in Afghanistan is taking even longer. Nixon knew it and couldn't stop the War in Vietnam sooner. They're also the reason for the Cold War, the arms race and the global weapons market. If Iran ever discloses they have the A-Bomb you can bet there will American components in its construction which were bought from a third party. Even Obama can't control the Military-Industrial Complex, unfortunately. Where is Iron Man when you need him?
Corporations had control long before wars became profitable. Theodore Roosevelt warned against them.

It does not really matter since the winner is determined by electoral vote. Obama won no matter which count is used.

Obama a christian, yeah right that's why he wears a ring that says Allah is the only true God, yeah that sure seems christian!
This is true. Obama worships the same God that all Christians, Jews and Muslims worship.

21st Century Paul:
My point is a complicated, or at least is complicated to make me think I haven't still explained it after 5 posts.
It is not too difficult, but requires more explanation than any of the talking points can ever encompass. It is better for the corporations to distract the people, and easier for the people to be distracted.

Fifty to sixty percent voter turnout is very high in the United States.

Pick and choose whichever works for your side. Two thirds of all presidents since Roosevelt who were twice elected with a majority of the popular vote were Republicans. The only three presidents twice elected with less than 50% of the vote both times were Democrats. Eight of the last ten presidents who won with more than 55% of the popular vote were Republicans. Seven of the last nine elections won with less than 50% were won by Democrats. Every winner between 1876 and 1892 won with only 46% to 48%. The only candidates to lose the election while winning the most popular votes were Democrats. Every Republican who was re-elected won with a greater percentage the second time. Five of the last eight presidents were Republicans. 18 of the last 28 presidents were Republicans. Two of the last three presidents were Democrats. Five of the nine presidents between 1829 and 1861 were Democrats. Bush won more votes in 2000 and 2004 than all of Franklin Roosevelt's four elections combined. McCain won almost 60 million more votes in 2008 than Jackson won in 1824. Do you think the people have a message for Democrats? Every president ever impeached was a Democrat. Every president who ever resigned was a Republican. Republicans are twice as likely to die in office. The tallest, fattest, youngest and oldest presidents were all Republicans. The most important presidents, according to every historian in the world, were a Republican and a Democrat, and Washington, who was neither.

worrying thing for the rest of the world is that all the political commentors american and british say an presidents second term is concentrated on foreign issues, now i am scared.

why do people still persist that the poor of a country have no stake in it. hey they only pay purchase tax etc out of merge wages so the rich can use off shores accounts.

I don't disagree. However, I remember a past election when a significant number declared Al Gore the election winner (per popular vote) ... over 1 year post election

22-Year-Old Woman Says Obama N-Word, Hopes He's Assassinated:
Lovely gal, eh? -
audi so what? what is the point you are trying to prove, tell me!!! is it division? oops or what did the president say was it just for the telly, silly me it was. Andy was wrongly accused by someone on this board recently and guess what if i saw it how many others did. And before you open yer gob and my facebook and my address book ie crimbo cards and phone calls and actually met them i dont have a republican on it but i call them all a bunch pseudo liberals and right wing nut jobs. All but one won't come back to the board. So what one person in a nation of 300 million want to kill , get a grip, he is a sympbol of federal USA blonde blue eyed people would want to kill him. obamba from a british piont of view has been a pile of shit, dont worry bush jnr and snr and cliton were as well. uninformed britons dont realise why canadians hate the usa ( politically of course). The way you attack each with such vernom shows how little divides you.

My point is a simple one: There are many American conservatives who are nothing more than plain ol' bigots... ...and how that translated as a personal attack on you is beyond me. I wasn't even hinting at that. Looks like you've got some soul-searching to do.

duh dd i say it was at me??? no, i am telling you to get a grip. along with others of the so called liberal persuadision ( self proclaimed of course since it seems they are liberal about is insults). It is not bright ( british term meaning intelligent to post such a post as you did after Andy, who had been cleared of a scrucilerious slear ) to post such a crap link. You insult all not matter what affiliation. Quite honestly if you were my nephrew i would clip you round the ear lug. Soul searching, you keep diety gobshiter to yourself, i had enough of it growing up in ulster. Me lad, ask around i was never a part of a tartan gang, an orange order or a n band, you wont have to go far on this board, some people check. As for the mainland, hell they dont know nowt about discrismination or bigotry. Why pal all the ones i meet here, i met my first "black" person, he didnt breathe out his horns, when i was 19 he was a human being. Shut your gob about colour a fewe of us on this board have lost family due to predijuice, it comes in all forms. Which is why i would clip you about the head.
