Go Johnny, go go go! Shut the fuzzy mouth of the ultra-liberal, inexperienced, unqualified Barack H. Obama!

I'd vote Bama if I could - if only to piss the Wingnuts off, because faith in St Obama may not be enough to undo the shitstorm that 8 years of Dubya has wrought on the US and the world - but I'm in the Yoo-Kay, and trust me, we have our own problems, what with a Government that has no fucking clue how to run a country, and a media hell-bent on reporting anything EXCEPT the truth. The UK is fucked. But - go Bama!

Ahnuld Schwarzenegger and Tim Robbins were filmed to vote today. Why not celebrity movie directors? That interests me more but TMZ and other trash gossip rags refuse to report on "famous" movie directors' errands. Which is a big advantage, so they can focus on writing, producing and completing films.

But you're right: We need to rewrite the book if Obama is elected. It seems that some people are dumb enough to elect any inexperienced, unqualified, arrogant prick for the job! Bush was pretty bad (at least, according to the media and their constant coverage of Obama talking points)...but Obama would be INFINITELY worse. He is the 2nd coming of Jimmy Carter -- but with less experience.

Obama wants to raise government spending by $1 Trillion dollars over its current level. Where will that money come from? Check your pocketbook next year if Obama is elected.

U.S.A. ... U.S.A. ...

We got our ballots a few weeks ago; My wife and I spent time going over the ballots in our living room... then took them over to one of the many local, official drop-off boxes. Awesome!

Kudos to all those states that support early voting!!

OBAMA '08!!

We can start with a game of horse or 21...before eventually moving to 1-on-1!

Let Obama get a couple more years of experience...to prove himself and his ideas. Then let him run again.

I'm all for telling people to vote and all, but you're really just voting for the face of the orator who is going to spout the same crap as what the other guy would have said, had he won. And since that is the case, I'd try and get Palin in; at least she's something to look at...

McCain is a much better choice that Obama. He has a plan for real change, while 94% of Obama's supporters can't name a single policy decision that he has promised (according to a recent Harvard/TIPP poll).

Obama is the worst choice ever introduced by the Democrats. As a man of color, I can state with all certainty that without Oprah...or Obama's skin color...he wouldn't even have made it this far. If Obama was in Biden's body...or Kerry's...or even Gore's...he would have dropped out shortly after beginning his campaign.

The Queen of England is a figurehead leader with no real legislative power... that's why they have Parliament and the Prime Minister.

But, here in the states, the president is pretty damn significant. He's not the end-all supreme power, but he's no slouch.

Just sayin'.

READY TO GO!!!

Bill Clinton never received a 50% majority in either terms. Bush didn't receive a 50% majority in 2000 (although he received a majority in 2004). I think that a majority of votes should be law...in each state.

The powers are very rarely, if ever, used though. So I guess that's a plus.

I'm proud to be part of the CoC for Obama!

...Sho Kosugi for Obama!

Is it just me - or is that the absolute worst "primary" reason you have ever heard?

Uncle Tom

But then there are the really annoying things - like the wake-up texts at 6:30 AM from your friends saying "rock the vote!" -smack!-

BTW, I stood on a street corner in Mountain View, CA during a cold rain with a couple of dozen other McCain sponsors (I was the only African American). We received many more thumbs up than we expected from locals in the Bay Area. However, it was sad that so many others spit at us, threw rocks at us and flicked us off. I guess there is nothing as dangerous as a McCain supporter?

You just keep hitting us with the comedy bombs don't you chrrisssm ? (or as you shall now be known bubble boy)

When Obama starts TWO intractable Wars and presides over ANOTHER Recession crippling Economic Cataclysm THEN and ONLY THEN will have done as much as Bush has done to fuck things up.

Until then, despite ludicrously high and unrealistic expectations, Bush has luckily set the bar as low as it can get for Obama to beat.

If Obama wins (God forbid), then return in four years and tell me what you thought of him. Yes, Bush set the bar low (at least, according to the often repeated talking point memos of the Democratic Party). However, it CAN go lower. Remember Jimmy Carter?

McCain was against having a holiday for MLK, a man who was more braver than ol john boy who signed the confession after getting his ass handed to him in the Hanoi Hilton.

Oh and he called the vietnamese Gooks until he started his bid for president.So as a African-American, why would you support a party that deems you as inferior?

You are seriously disillusioned.Even Colin Powell knew when to give up on the Repugs.

BTW was it you who used to post McCain/Condi 2008 years ago? And yes the "go back to Africa, Unlcle Tom" remark was a bit much, so yeah I agree with you on that.

"Yes we shall"!!

FIRED UP!!!

READY TO GO!!!

I HAVE been watching the News that's why I KNOW that food and Energy prices have ALREADY rocketed and Unemployment and Foreclosures are soaring and have been for quite some time.

Everyone knows even harder times are almost certainly ahead it's how EITHER (and I'm being fair here because McCain would face the same Recession) Candidate deals with it.

I'll tell you what I THINK will happen. BOTH candidates will roll back on their Election promises when faced with the wrecked Economy inherited from Bush.

McCain has already said we might not have the same entitlements in the future so we know where he will likely place the Axe in light of the actuall Economy and Obama will probably put Education reforms and spending into deep freeze and his Healthcare reforms may also take a hit.

That's me being REALISTIC. And we know exactly why BOTH candidates wouldn't fully answer the question about how their plans would change because of the wrecked Economy at the height of the Election.

Rest assured though once this thing is over Bush is going to take a hurricane of Criticism from Obama OR McCain until inauguration. As BOTH will not want to be tainted by Bush's past mistakes as they start their term.

And you need to get over your amusing obsession with Carter. Shit as he was he simply wasn't (to quote the Simpsons) "The most evil man in History" and his public approval ratings tell a completely different and far more realistic story than your rabid hatred of Carter and strange blind spot and affection for Bush does.

Let the next 4 years of bitching commence...

I voted a straight party ticket here in PA, Democratic all the way. All the fear-mongering, name-calling, and race-baiting in the world wouldn't have gotten me to vote for McSame.

The early polling results are a bit chill-inducing, but I'm holding faith that sanity and lucidity will prevail over ignorance, intimidation and outright despicability.

Here's hoping that tomorrow gives all the right-wing sociopaths (like your friend and mine, JJJJJJJJJIIISSSM THE POST-WHORING NEO-TARD) something to fucking choke on.

In that blissful event, I look forward to endlessly repeating the words "Love It or Leave It" (sound familiar, anyone?).

I don't know why, but I thought I'd throw that out there, after berserkrl's comment.

vote

How much does a vote go for these days? A Euro is worth what now, about 20 dollars? :)

You want sensible talk, look at posts by anyone who isn't doing the whole fear-mongering & name-calling thing here. Arguably more sensible.

Hence, why I gave up on trying to speak objectively with these so-called "people" about a decade ago.

heh, truthiness.

Keep the emotion out of the logical argument please.

In Michigan we had very unnatural 71 degree sunny weather and a huge turnout. Like those ads that say to call your doctor if you have an election lasting more than four hours. Well, the lines weren't quite that bad, but the longest I'd ever seen there.

We also had medical marijuana and stem cells on the ballot proposals. I always said, put marijuana on the ballot and I'd vote for it. And based on the opposition propaganda, I think stem cell research involves mass producing industrial quantities of clone babies to hack up for medical research. Which I'm for, especially if there's a chance they can cure diabetes in our lifetime.

Looking good, Harry - way cool glasses.

I'm not even registered. The idea that if you register to vote then you're more prone to be called for jury duty is bull fucking hot steaming shit. I've been summons 3 times and I'm in my early 40s. I know fuckers that are old that haven't even been summons once, and they registered when they were 18.

I'm not voting for this bullshit system. You fucks just said YES to the $855 billion "I made millions in my business by bending over and shoving my giant black cock in over thousands of people's asses, fucking them out of millions of dollars, can you help me out, bail-out package".

You are voting for a plutocracy. Owned by the wealthy and ran by the wealthy. Pharmacutical adds on every minute, the fucked in the head food pyramid promoted by the zillion dollar meat and dairy industry making everyone fat causing billions for the drug companies, hospitals, and the entire medical industry.

The issues that do not get addressed in this country far out weigh any changes made by switching presidents. Most of the crap either candidate spews has to get a passing vote in congress. So much shit is ignored because there are other so called issues more important.

What a wonderful monopolized two party system. Republicunts and Democraps. It's amazing just how brainwashed sheeple stand in line for over 10 hours "It's worth the wait, to voice my opinion, freedom!"

Jjjjiisssmmm, you need to learn how to lie better.

I assumed when I wrote "look at posts by anyone who isn't doing the whole fear-mongering & name-calling thing here" that that would include people from "both sides of the fence". It's a talkback about an election with 2 parties - you either vote or not, for this or that guy.

Please try to read all the posts infront of you before writing something other than that which you seem to cherish - being sensible.

Ahh, douchy goodness.

After all, this is what we've all being waiting for. To make useless comments about something you can no longer change. Just congratulate the winner and be on your way. Or mourn the death of America as you know it, it's a free country.

Palin's running for president in 2012 and the skinheads are now plotting. It's only a matter of time. We've heard of some half ass plots to take out Obama when he was just a candidate. Well it's going to increase now and it only takes one to be serious enough to pull it off.

And you know it'll be documented with the thousands of cameras, cell phones, surveillance, and coverage.

Just where the fuck have you guys been hiding for the last few years?

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.

Except for the next few days, we need to rub more salt into the Right's wounds.

...that after all this time, we can still peaceably resolve to respect the authority of the ballot box, whether or not we have the enlightenment that our Founders prayed we might possess.

And that is a beautiful thing.

Except for the next few days, we need to rub more salt into the Right's wounds."

I haven't heard his name once in weeks especially tonight on any channel. It's not just about the election process, it's about Uncle Scam, Congress, the whole fucking system...you know...blah,blah,blah.

Do you feel you've fulfilled your civic duty today? Yeah it really meant a lot...LOL!

The GOP sold its soul to Satan for Jesus.

And now they must pay.

Franken still ahead!!

And for that, I give thanks.

This is the thing that should give all chills & thrills about our democracy.

Set Condition One throughout the Fleet!

...it's like we're living in the future!

8;s, 6's, Cindy Crawford, Adriana Lima, Megan Fox, the list goes on.

Will need a replicator to fabricate food from pure energy, but then Indefinite Holodeck Survival is Assured.

Who will be in YOUR holodeck, MNG?

Man... "President Obama." I like the way that sounds!

Anchorite, ccchhhrrriiissmm, vikingkitty, AnimalStructure and Coughlin's Law, believe me when I say that this comes from the bottom of my heart:

Suck it. Yep, suck it. Suck. It. SUCK IT. SUUUUUUUUCK IT.

Couldn't be prouder.

Thank you, America, for restoring our faith in you. THANK YOU!

"The last time that the Republicans had the majority of numbers in the Senate , the House and pres was most of the last 8 years. Real proud and prosperous moments in our history."

For the record though, my dad's a retired army colonel, and I do have a lot of respect McCain. He's giving a nice concession speech, too.

Not if thecrowd at McCain's address is any indication ...

I was talking shit earlier, but with the numbers and speeches in, I really feel the vitriol leaving me ...

I DID once have a proud white republican suggest to me that I should move to Canada, whilst interjecting into a discussion he was not even a part of, post-2000 ...

NOT necessary!

They need to quit taunting us with their computer-generated LIES!

GO OBAMA!!!

Harry and Mori, you the men!!!

I forgive the shit of the last four years. Somewhat. A few thousand dead soldiers and hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis might differ.

You may now return to inserting plastic action figures into your rectal cavity.

EAT A BAG OF DICKS YOU FUCKTARDS!!!

But THIS IS TALKBACK. There are some notorious shit talking pricks that need to line up and say "ah!" for the cold steel cock of death. Most of them know who they are, and will probably be conspicuously absent from these parts until they receive new talking points from the hive mind.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?!

All concession speeches are written days prior and proof read. He doesn't always write them anyways. This ain't from the top of his head. What is he suppose to do?

"Fuck off Barack Hussein Obama!" Of course he's gonna come across as classy. He would ruin the Republican party not being classy. He showed his true colors during the campaign. I can't stand him.

Hey Snake foreskin, does that line sound familiar?

I want velvety soft a Black Silk Obamaman shirt!!!

Glad to know I'm not alone here!

And here I VOTED for Obama.

Please, God let this not be a mistake.

I thought that Obama would INSPIRE people, not be a source of ignorant expectations.

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT, FUCKERS.

Paranoid doorstop?

Scented toilet ring?

Wait - how about misinformed mouthy fucker? "Krullboy For Misinformed Mouthy Fucker"? You must admit, it has a ring about it.

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT, YOU WHINY BITCH.

Until then keep embarrassing yourselves by all means. We all need some amusing entertainment until inauguration.

Congratulations on being the base-reading for tb douchebag and enjoy the all expense-paid trip to central booking.

And here I felt like a dick for calling poor krullboy nasty names.

On that note, I'm done for the night. Again, congratulations to President-Elect Obama and Joe Biden, and to everyone here who voted for the candidate they believed in, whomever it may have been.

I voted for Obama because I want people in America to have a role model that can inspire and identify with. Not a rich old white guy with 12 houses and a WASP-ish wife with tons of plastic surgery. Period.

Not a good strategy.

The campaign seemed to be going on forever and I'm glad it ended with a Democratic victory.

Here's hoping however the relief isn't temporary (like in the movie) and then the whole electorate goes all glowy and explodes.

I just hope everyone else feels the same way, and isn't expecting a handout. This is still America, and you still have to work for your success. Just as Obama did.

It's easy to pass off words of hope as without substance, rather just mere hyperbole to win an election. It's the way the country thinks today. So guys like Psalmolive and what not... you're part of the problem.

Even McCain basically said that the election is over, now it's time to change.

Time will tell if Obama is TRULY that change. But damn us all if we were to turn our cynical backs on words of hope, change, and progress. The nation has spoken. A nation that's heard every speech known to fall from a politician's mouth. Thus, we've heard the bullshit over and over.

The nation has spoken and only time will tell. Be proud that our country has had the balls to push aside cynicism and believe... believe like we haven't in quite some time. Time will tell the true story, but at least we were brave enough to act on our hope for a better tomorrow.

Black America, get ready to rejoice all over again!

Let the rampaging black rhino's loose!

Read up. I already stated how unrealistic some of the expectations are as well as the likely consequences of inheriting the Economic Catastrophe from Bush.

You'll need to do better than than the cheap and ultimately ineffectual negativity and smears that tainted and sank McCains Campaign.

But cheer up. You can now take part in the Republican shouting match over where the Party goes next. Who will you blame ? McCain or Palin ? Who gets the whip hand ? The NeoCons or the Moderates ? That is entirely in your and the Republicans hands now. So make the most of that power as it's the only power you or they will have for years to come.

And you surely seem to be ignoring the near deification of Reagan nowadays by republicans.

People are excited and enthusiastic. What the hell is wrong with that? Oh, when Palin caused people to name babies after her, or had women weeping at her rallys, I guess that was ok?

Although he/she might be right. I've been poking the ground with a stick and it hasn't moved yet.

Please, friends, love it or leave it.

Dig the talkback name btw. :)

But if I had to choose a sci fi metaphor for the new administration it'd probably be Deep Space Nine. I don't know what kind of corresponding Star Trek bad guys the republicans would fit best, though.

For God's sake... read a book or a newspaper. The man's whole life has been scrutinized inside and out for the past 2 years. We probably know more about him than any other president-elect in history!

Ending 8 years of this shit and seeing a piece of genuine History being made deserves an awesome Celebration. And they ARE Celebrating and will keep Celebrating and if you don't like it, too bad and tough shit. You had your chance and blew it.

"These are not the tax cuts you are looking for..."

I like the audacity of an America where "2nd amenment is abolished and extremist muslims are allowed to bomb when and where they want," (It'd be like Islamic 4th of July EVERYDAY!) or the idea that Ahmedinejad is on the cabinet short-list, but I am drawn to the poetic blend of racist/possibly homophobic musing about a "Bareback Yomama administration."

But I think the not-so subtly referenced subject title "DEATH OF A NATION" pretty much ices the fucking cake for hysterical douchebaggery in this talkback.

Seriously, you guys crack me up.

I like to think that I'm about as moderate as they come. (At most, I lean just ever-so-left of center.) But after the past several years, I think it's become abundantly clear, to those of us who were paying attention, that the snake oil being peddled by so-called "conservatives" under the umbrella of the GOP was bullshit. The Bush Administration is just the icing on their bitter cake. And like every party who has worn out their welcome, the GOP lost its way.

Therefore, it was inevitable that someone (Obama) would come along who truly understands this country and what it needs. More importantly, they would be able to articulate this understanding in a way that appeals to people across the board. It's something you don't see too often these days.

And remember, Obama didn't get to where he is simply because of his charisma. The guy is incredibly intelligent and he's blessed with a world class temperament. Everything he has achieved has been started from the ground up: from community organization, the Senate, to defeating the Clinton Machine and the GOP, and finally winning the Presidency. The notion that this man won't do everything in his power to lead this country to a BETTER place is categorically absurd.

Anyway, I digress. Congratulations Obama. I look forward to your first day in office. Know hope.

to take the first African-American president, elected on a platform of hope and change amidst a chaotic and deeply problematic time in our country's history, and find not only a parallel, but what you perceive to be a direct link between him and Adolf Hitler takes a special kind of misapprehension.

pathetic, Cotton, truly pathetic

Who wears the tinfoil hat now, o blessed little theorist???

Aw, I'm just kiddin you, Psalmolive, I think we all know that as long as you're with us, racism will never die.

I love The Onion.

you can be debbie downer all you want, but you look pretty silly proclaiming it now, especially when you start mentioning fucking HITLER. come on man...you're better than that.

Fear-monger away, it only in part lost an election, right?

CONGRATULATIONS! You are indeed batshit insane. You win a snug fitting straitjacket.

Tell me have you heard of the Bank Bailout ? Those Banks who went begging for all those BILLIONS the TAXPAYER will have to pay as so the Banks can be NATIONALIZED. Those Banks and Financial institutions who plunged the Economy into the Abyss of a Recession with their get rich quick securities (Credit Default Swaps and Collateralized Debt Obligations) Think those Banks are have nots do you ? Or do you think funneling BILLIONS in Bonuses for themselves while wrecking their own Companies, the Economy and Main street with the Credit Crunch might, just might, mean some if not most of it is their fault ?

And BTW the Captial Gains Rate Obama is bringing in for those above $250,000 ? 20% Which is LESS then Reagans 29%. So does that make Reagan a Socialist ? Marxist ? Communist ? or what ?

And Reagan like Bush created MORE Government and huge debt whatever the fuck he might have said to the naive and credulous.

Wait and see.

When did Obama round up the "capitalists" (whoever the fuck that means in your batshit insane mind) into ghettos ? When did he force anyone to wear yellow stars ? And when did he herd anyone onto trains like cattle towards the concentration camps that was the end result of the persecution of the Jews and the most abominable War Crime and atrocity of the 20th Century ?

He OBVIOUSLY didn't. And has NEVER come close to those apalling acts of unmitigated barbarity. So shut the fuck up and get a grip.

You are simply digging yourself an ever deeper hole to climb out of particularly in the light of McCains blistering criticism and blaming of Wall Street and the "capitalists" for their obvious failings and responsibility for the Economic clusterfuck.

You hadn't heard?

(Because Terrence Howard is crazy)
