Re: Romney vs. BO - Tuesday night Election chat thread
You are making a lot of mistaken inferences from my post.
"My point stands. Don't make the racial statements period. Don' look for excuses for it. Don't justify it by quantity or frequency in surroundings, and just don't, first and for most....start it. Then all of us won't be talking or arguing about it.." I never suggested otherwise and if anything your response suggested an indifference to certain slurs.
""OMG white people get racist stuff too!!" Isn't much of an argument which I tried to illustrate" I didn't say that and wasn't making any argument at all. Again I was pointing out the double standard found on this board, nothing less nothing more.

Okay, my bad, I am a bit emotional with lack of sleep and thought it was a personal. I do think this place needs to start moderating it more. I know it doesn't want to lose members, but I remember a time when I joined here it didn't get too far and people were sent for the door when it began. Or maybe given a cooling off period to think about it.
We need to get back there.
Re: Romney vs. BO - Tuesday night Election chat thread
Hey Mars, if you don't want a thread on the election to be about race...then don't bring race into it.
You see how that works?

Re: Romney vs. BO - Tuesday night Election chat thread
I will fuck off from it when I feel like. Something wrong man? You okay with playing the racist but don't like being called out on it? You seem mad, Mars. You going to be alright?
Or is it just the fact you got 4 more years of having a Democrat in the oval office?
Forward, yo.
Re: Romney vs. BO - Tuesday night Election chat thread
Back to the election...
I've made it clear that I back Obama. He may not have completely accomplished everything he set out to do 4 years ago, but general consensus is that things are turning around. Maybe slower than expected or desired... but change (especially economic turnaround) is sometimes slow.
For some reason, I find it hard to trust Romney. He just doesn't instill that trust that a Presidential candidate should. He has contradicted himself numerous times... he hardly seems fit to play the part of "middle-class champion"... and his background in business and commerce does not necessarily qualify him to handle the delicate foreign affairs that are also important. To think otherwise, IMO, is being short-sighted.
180-Degree changes in government every 4 years is hardly conducive to growth and prosperity. It's called "momentum." It takes 6 months to a full year to stop the momentum of the previous administration and get the ball fully rolling the other way. Between that, and all the finger-pointing that everyone does.... it's a miracle anything gets done in a mere 4 years.
George Jr. got 8 years, and he didn't deserve them. He was still riding the coattails and the fear of post-9/11. It's the only way he would've gotten elected to a second term.
I'm TitoFan.... and I approve this message.

I think both guys are poor at best and I'm not really affected by the outcome in any real way, but holy shit is this tense.
We're not going to know who won for at least a week.

Naw, it is practically a lock. News is just being news...trying to keep people excited and not heading to bed yet. Ratings, ratings, ratings.

Think so? I'm only watching CBC and they all seem to think it's close, but that's obviously in their interest.

It's looking like BO takes Ohio and Wisconsin, 2 states Romney can't afford to lose and still win the electoral college vote, I believe Obama will be re-elected and the predicted result will be known by 11:00-11:30 PM ET tonight.
I'm outta this hijacked thread.

I don't know how accurate this is, but on CBC they are saying that the majority of the votes counted in Ohio are from the very Democratic north. If true, the numbers we're seeing right now could change a fair bit.

It is close. But the whole design of it and nearly every prediction for a fairly substantial O win, is falling in place. Funny thing is, a part of me wants Romney to win. for the epic librul butthurt throughout american, plus accusations of cheating and the lawyers etc...but it won't be.

Indeed. Things are look good for the Dems so far, but it is not over yet. How are the 3rd party candidates doing in terms of votes? Any chance they get to 5%?
Re: Romney vs. BO - Tuesday night Election chat thread
Not a chance for 5%. Right now we have to be happy if we can get 1%
