Obviously the right person won.
McCain is another Bush.
Him in the white house is just begging for America to be even further in the hole than it is.
Which I must say, is pretty damn far.

Obama is AMAZING!

CONGRATS OBAMAAAA!!!

And FL, finally got some damn sense!

Guess we can’t even do a simple thing like electing McCain without effing it up. Oh well, grats President Elect Obama.
Now to put aside all the talk from the campaign, all the mean things everyone had to say from both sides, and sit down to see what see if he actually does what we said he would do or if he does things right.

You retard, that corn isn’t edible by anyone because it’s been genetically modified so much no living animal could digest it.

Ethanol does take away from the world’s food supply because it is derived from corn.

Hey ElbieSee,

as a Wikipedia author, I want to point out

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_in_Switzerland

We have only paper ballots and do the counts damn fast and damn correct. And as for the voter registration – we have none. Everybody is already registered as soon as he/she moves to another town.

I just wonder about every U.S. election and I pray the machines do not fuck it up. There’s no need for them.

Sorry public schools can not teach creationism. That is promoting a particular religion, but we have freedom of religion. If that’s a valid doctrine, than so is Flying Spaghetti Monster. America was not founded as a Christian nation. Look up Deism, particularly under Jefferson.

Big corporations getting tax breaks often send out jobs out of the country.

You do have to dig into McCain’s background, as he also has several (closer) associations that are quite nefarious. I don’t believe in guilt by association, but you have to apply the same standard to ALL candidates.

Dems aren’t saying we should have one class. They are reminding everyone that the middle class is the foundation of the economy and that if the middle class fails, than the nation does.

Obama isn’t that liberal. Read lots of other posts about this. His voting record isn’t the most liberal. What he HAS been is opposed to Bush. Voting against the screwed up policies of Bush, doesn’t necessarily make you ultra liberal.

Reagan wasn’t nearly as great as you think. He had the biggest deficit in history prior to Bush. Deregulation that began under Reagan has contributed to our current crisis.

There are a couple points I’m not in complete disagreement with you on, and I could add to these that I oppose. I respect your opinion, but I don;t think you are completely informed in these conclusions.

That’s because Florida isn’t where life is worth living like Webster (click my name for the town web page). You may be the happiest place on earth, but life apparently isn’t worth living there.

NY is using its mechanical lever machines for the last time this year. I am hopeful about the new machines. They take a paper ballot you fill out with pen/marker, thenscan the sheet. It tabulates based on a complete image scan, you can tell the machine if it’s correct before it “casts” the vote. Then the ballot drops into the sealed ballot box from the scanner as a physical paper ballot record in case there’s a problem with the electronics. Also, the machine has a part that allows disabled to produce a ballot that is marked via a computer interface. Prole can even plug in their sip/puff straw machines if they are totally immobilized, and vote independently. They still get a physcal ballot that gets scanned and collected. I hope this system works well. NY held on to the mechanical machines as long as they could, but they were overdue in FULL compliance with the Americans with disabilities act.

My thoughts EXACTLY. It was a sad day in Florida when I was told today out at the polls “Now, remember, you can only pick one! We’ve had a lot of people try to pick two…” – in regards to the presidential candidates.

Extremely insulting.
Half of Florida is extremely liberal, and the other is conservative.
I am in the conservative part (technically, I’m a conservative independent).
But stuff like this is pretty insulting. Yeah, Bush screwed things over, but I am so tired of the double standard.
Other dems have fucked things up.
No one is shouting at Obama for being a liberal. The most liberal in fact.
I happen to like what McCain stands for, and I believe that if the last two presidents had been democratic, you all would love McCain. We’ve been overexposed to Bush, and people have forgotten there is such a thing as a good Republican. Reagan anyone? Our country flourished under him.
You know, I feel like posting a list of exactly why I’m for John McCain.

I like the idea that all children should be able to live and potentially prosper.
I like the idea that small business owners won’t be punished for making more than a coke addict
I like the fact that he can withstand hardship. Never seen that for Obama.
I like the fact that he has much more experience than Obama.
I like the idea that if you murder someone of your own will, you will experience death
I like the idea he has that we should be taught about the effects of alcohol and marijuana as well as cocaine or acid
I like the idea that good teachers should make more than bad lawyers
I like the idea that schools should decide whether or not to teach creationalism
I like the idea that he wants to protect the environment
I like the idea that he supports family values
I like the idea that I can own a gun and killers cannot have a bazooka
I like the idea that amnesty is an option for immigrants who fled to this country because of oppression from their homeland
I like the idea that big corporations get tax breaks so millions of people can stay employed
I like the concept that Ethanol takes away from the world’s food supply
I like the idea that we can use free speech to a certain degree, but hateful groups should be banned
I like that I don’t have to dig into his background
I like John Sidney McCain

Just to be clear, I am not Evil Pundit. Never have been, never will be. But I am a conservative independent and I believe in capitalist fundamentals. Under capitalism, there will always be the richer and the poorer. If I didn’t like it, I’d be in Europe.
God I need a drink after today….all the dems in my journalism class are so unreasonable. They’ll bring up Pundit Kitchen and start laughing at the screw McCain things, but the second I laugh at a political cartoon my sister sent me (one that made fun of Obama) their faces turn red and they start screaming that I am a bitch for laughing.
*sighs* sorry I’m babbling. My uber Republican-conservative friend picked up a bottle of tabasco and started reading the label. “Takes three years to make it….that’s pathetic.” Then he stands on the table and holds it up in a carsalesman way and shouts, “I’M BARACK OBAMA AND I APPROVE THIS PIECE OF CRAP!”
XOXO

And to be fair, they’re not actively refusing to let white voters in. It’s more of an intimidation by being there thing that won’t really work if you ARE GOING to vote and nothing will stop you.

I don’t see any Aryans in front of Dem voting sites, though. So that’s a thought.

Sigh – yeah I’m a Floridian… yeah we can’t vote… yeah, there’s a list of things we don’t do well… but hey, we’ve got tons of beaches and the “Happiest Place on Earth.” Sigh, not really making up for the lack of general intelligence I’ve found here. I mean, really, our school systems rank what, 48th out of 50? I’ve got 2 years before my son starts school – thank God.

I’m from Florida and couldn’t agree more. Not only did a bunch of fucking retards screw up a simple ballot, but it was fixed anyways. Or perhaps those things are related.
