Election Thread 2008 MAKE SURE YOU VOTE

It's his economic proposals that worry me, but I'm hoping that those were just campaign rhetoric.

eh. they're really nothing beyond the pale.

Now that the election has passed, will this thread taper off the front page, or will it receive a symbolic closure?

I watched his victory speech hoping to see him make good on his promises of post-partisanship, now that the election's over. He went so far as to talk about the noble birth of the Republican party and quote Lincoln; I'm impressed.

Name a single acceptance speech in which the winner didn't talk about achieving a new era of bi-partisanship. It's mandatory. Though, if Obama's associations (his real ones) are any indication, he'll follow the Clinton model and simply kowtow to them on issues while never truly getting them to like him.

With the ones I've seen saying it, I honestly wouldn't mind.
One prime example:
- (On Obama) "no he isint even african! or american! he is a poser black guy. just like all the other white trash....."
- "im interested in being a child of God. i Will not rally behind anyone who isint!!! i will answer to him after i die! no one else!!"

The problem with these douches is that they never make good on their promises. The fact that they think anyone would miss them convinces me that they're psychotic and can't be allowed to freely walk the streets.

how the fuck did you miss backwards B girl?

11. Backwards B girl.

12. Not one but two Republican candidates convicted on corruption charges during the race, and staying in.

13. Joe the plumber not actually being a plumber.

14. Osama endorses McCain. And we were all so sure he was dead.

15. McCain twitching uncontrollably when Sarah Palin speaks.

That is true, but I think Obama took it a step further by specifically praising the Republican party, in detail, as a righteous and noble institution. I got the sense from that speech that Obama really wants to serve as an independent, and I'm willing to believe him until he proves me wrong.

what a great story. now take a few days off, a few extra days to attend to your family, and then you got one hell of a job to get started on, mr. president-elect.

I've always suspected that Obama is far from the peacenik he ran as, and I fully expect him to aggressively continue the war on terror (much to the shock of some of his supporters). It's his economic proposals that worry me, but I'm hoping that those were just campaign rhetoric.

What is it that he said he will do that you think he won't do?

Specifically in regards to Iraq and Afganistanimation?

[Uriel]

Are you the new Biff?


And hey, your state just joined Fake America, so you better learn to love overpriced coffee, foreign movies about the human spirit, and weekend sodomy.

An answer to either one of these two things is also an answer to the other.

I hope he puts more troops into Afghanistan. The Canadians have been carrying the load there for years.

The Canadian.

Fucking.

Army.
