Woot woot you late voting motherfucking states can go fuck yourselves
 

so a whole pile of states haven't turned in their results yet, but Obama has 324 electoral college votes. woot

Still, It's gotta make you feel "Hey don't my vote count?"

Those early voting states have picked my governor....senator...representatives? Damn. I'm staying home.

*cheers wildly*

Fucking hell. I am in awe. We (restoftheworld) are watching America with awe. I cannot believe this has happened in my life time. This could not happen in England.

This is why America is the light on the hill.

Yeah, but you guys put a broad in charge first. ;)

Woo Hoo!!! I did my part and voted for Obama, and against the gay marriage ban, and the requirement for girls to notify their parents about abortion. I would like to add, John McCain showed a lot of class, and grace in his concession speech.

@ Syc: True. As time passes, and the wounds heal (*smiles*) I see her more and more as a trail blazer and less as a wolf in sheeps clothing.

We still have very poor female participation in politics though. And female presence in top executive positions in the city and industry is actually reducing. I think we've actually taken a step back in numbers in the House of Commons as well.

I'm sooooo happy!!! I can do my happy dance now!

(I'm also exhausted as I was up so early to go vote zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Radar, Libertarians don't vote for socialists -- if they're libertarian. We'll need more balance in Washington than we'll be getting over the next couple of years, I fear.

Libertarians dont tell people how to vote, if they're libertarian. Libertarians don't attach themselves to a party ticket that binds them politically to a fixed set of ideological tenets and loyalties.

I believe this is the counterbalance to 8 years of a Republican presidency and 12 of 14 years of Republican congressional control.

lol. Yeah, 'cause the word that immediately springs to mind when considering the last eight years in Washington, is 'balance'.

After you have built your house, does the first wall erected disdain the last wall to be put up? Where would your home be without all four walls? Do you really want nothing between you and, say, Alaska?

Obama was the most libertarian candidate running including Bob Barr.

The word springing immediately to my mind is "footdragging." I've been quite pleased over the last seven years with how the Federal level of government has largely confined its central effort to foreign policy -- this outward concentration has minimized any tendency to meddle with the nation in the manner so characteristic of the Clinton Administration. That's how I prefer things to go in our Republic.

Radar: no.

You'd really be a better man if you could pass an entire day without lying on the political forum, you know.

Actually, you don't know.

Now Dana, party people do. Think about it half a minute.

@ Dana... It looks like 17 women in the Senate, too. :D

I never lie on this or any other forum or in person. I realize you know absolutely nothing about being a libertarian, and it's got to be disappointing that a war monger lost, and you think America's military is here to start unprovoked wars against other nations that pose no harm to ours, but today the better man and the more libertarian man won.

Now we can get to work ending the unconstitutional, unwarranted, unreasonable, and unlibertarian war in Iraq as quickly as possible.

Sorry, Radar, but the evidence goes against your word. I'll take the evidence, thanks, over your narcissistic disorder. There is no libertarian in Obama's makeup, unless he's been cozening the socialist base the whole campaign.

The crushing of ultrastatism is a necessary thing, Radar, to any man of freedom. It is not necessary to you.

Awesome!

Whatever psycho. Facts, truth, history, and reason are all on my side. You've got nothing on your side but your psychosis, and stupidity.

Aha. Defeated by history and truth, you leap instanter to namecalling, like that'd prove diddly. Typical of your "thinking," and why you don't have friends, Paul. The merest prick to your exaggerated amour-propre, and bang! like a balloon.

Whatever psychos! You're both defeated by the awesome rainbow shit of Obama. So shut up and hug because we're succeeding in putting the racist history we have behind us.

Now that's HOF material!

Seconded!

:lol:


Although that UG/Radar exchange was kinda :corn: :)

I agree, there can be no more excuses, no more race cards. Let's move forward as one.

I agree with Merc. The silver lining immediately visible is that the race-hustlers' "Myth of the Hobbled Black" is now exploded, even if the fragments haven't hit the ground yet.

Race-hustlers were the kind of people Ken Hamblin used to give a pasting to, particularly in his books.

I'm happy the race thing is behind us, and I'm happy the most libertarian candidate won.

This was interesting.

No senior Democrat is offering even a single libertarian policy, Radar -- it's all socialist bread-and-circuses coupled with substitutes-for-victory. You're not doing too well on the ol' rationality meter there. What you are doing is showing your true colors as a toe-tag Democrat.

From the Washington Post of 8 Nov 2008: Another extremist is also exceptional.

Yes it is, I was having the same thoughts. Well if you're not tall enough for roundball, or big enough for football, you don't have to be a drug dealer, you can be the goddamn president.

Now get with the program and help your white Bros, fight the wetbacks... and the chinks... and the canucks. :lol2:

While your analogy is very poetic it might fit better in another situation. I see this more akin to a bunch of guys hanging out watching the game and arguing about whether to order Chinese take out or Pizza. Eventually all but two of the guys decide on Pizza and go ahead and order it. After some time passes the two guys who hadn't cast their votes chime in with their preference. It doesn't really matter if they wanted Chinese or Pizza because the pizza delivery guy is pulling into the driveway.

But realistically, even if they'd spoken up sooner, they'd still have been outnumbered anyway.

Only if they'd wanted Chinese, otherwise they'd be on the bandwagon.

Yeah, but they didn't have to pay the pizza guy. ;)

:lol2: Esp the Canadians. :D
