all the dead people early voted for Obama, if the dead are on his side how can Romney win?

If you think back, they will bounce the battleground states back and forth til 10pm cst when Kali polls close and then they will announce the winner. Seems like a good way to get people to watch TV. I am watching a movie with Tnbrat and checking numbers on the iPad every so often.

Something that I am finding interesting to waste some time on is the exit polls. CNN is showing some interesting stats. I think it is interesting that the "Vote by Education" exit poll shows that (excluding postgraduate education) as people attend more school the tend to vote republican more than democrat. For the 3% of the nation that didn't graduate high school, it appears roughly 65%-75% vote democratic. Yet, somehow the "enlightened" democratic party presents itself as the party of the intelligent and that republicans all sit around near shacks all day and play the banjo back and forth.

So now ohio is illegal voting. Get ready for a long damn night. They were allowing non registered voters to vote and got caught Edited November 7, 2012 by Flatwoods Forge

The senate and house are relatively unchanged. So if O wins, it is the same as the last 4 years... just digging deeper. If the last 4 years hasn't energized the country against the Progressives I don't think anything will. So far this looks like a loss for our country

[font="Verdana"][size="2"][color="#191970"]I heard an interesting interview a few weeks ago on the radio by what appeared a well schooled individual on the history of a democratic society back to early times.

He explained how over time, people who work and produce eventually become the minority. People that expect free stuff and have the entitlement mentality, eventually overcome the workers in population and thus, the decay of society.

Elizabeth Warren wins.

She and Debbie Shultz will carry on the Pelosi-Boxer tradition for the next 40 years.

And Axelrod doesn't have to shave his moustache.

Although I believe the following quote is "debunked" as to have come from any of our founding fathers, I still personally believe it is true to our current society regardless of who said it:

Ohio was just called for Obama a few minutes ago...baring a true miracle, the communist who hates America and doesn't give a #### about the Constitution will get four more years.

For months now, quite a few folks here have complained that Romney wasn’t “this” or wasn’t “that” or wasn’t Ron Paul or wasn’t substantially different from Obama, etc., etc., and while Tennessee strongly went for Romney; it looks like those who didn’t want Romney to win will get their wish.

Obama will likely get to nominate two and maybe as many as four anti-gun and for that matter, anti-Constitution Supreme Court justices…he’ll get to keep spending trillions of dollars we don’t have to give away, to those who don’t work, the stuff we work our ass off to provide for our family….his bureaucrats will get to decide if we are important enough to society to get cancer treatment or just get some pain pills and told to go home…we’ll get to pay more for gasoline and food and what kind of light bulbs we are allowed to have and it won’t be long until what was the United States looks exactly like Spain and Italy and France and every other bankrupt European country.

I guess we simply no longer have a country of people who are willing to work for what they have; rather, we simply have a country filled with people who think they are entitled simply because they haven’t assumed room temperature.

Maybe the house will grow a backbone and stop some of what Obama wants to do but I don't think they have the balls to do it. Edited November 7, 2012 by RobertNashville

[/quote] What evidence have you seen to suggest that there are enough Senators with the balls to do so???

Some may bluster but the R's didn't have the guts to stand up against the D's when the R's had the majority and a R president; if anything, those idiots have even less of a backbone than the House. Edited November 7, 2012 by RobertNashville

Paraphrase from Alexis de Tocqueville. Check him out, pretty fascinating guy.

He also coined "we get the government we deserve".

They'll filibuster a tree trimming contract in a national park. Why wouldn't they stop something as big as a bad appointment?

[Paladin132]

Because of the concept now that presidents get who they want and the senate allows it. They do not hardly even look at people anymore, just look at the folks we had appointed four years ago - a treasury secretary that was so smart Turbo Tax was to complicated for him.

[Erik88]

Well, it looks like those "biased polls" were right all along. I can't say I'm surprised. Perhaps the GOP will be a better candidate next time who people actually like though I don't think Jesus Christ himself could have surpassed Obummer in this election.

We can sit here and bitch and moan for 4 years or we can accept the fact that Obama is our president and just pray things don't get worse. I'm not going to live my life in fear because everyone on this site claims the sky is falling. Let's try to stay positive. Edited November 7, 2012 by Erik88

I do think we're in it bad but have to agree with Erik88 here. The only way through this is with our chins up.

exactly!! With Republican senators like Alexander and Corker, it might as well be all democrats. Besides, the senate has allowed themselves to be castrated by Obama's executive orders. He will do whatever he wants and the senate won't do a damn thing.
