america, we laugh at you

i don't get posts like this...it's like america had no choice in the matter. GAF does not represent the country.

Bush has nearly 2 million more votes than Kerry. The majority of Americans obviously still want Bush over Kerry.

 

[thefit]

I hope the democrats in the west are hitting the polls.

We're to busy getting botox shots sorry.

+6 Kerry over here (three grandparents, two parents, me). Half are Republican. Half are Democrat.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Half of America simply doesn't get it.

This Black woman actually said this to me today. "I voted for Bush because he is a Christian..." What the hell is Kerry then? :lol

From the way Bush talked in the presidential debate, it seemed that church+state were the same thing though. That his personal beliefs were dictating the direction he wanted to take the country in.

That's a very odd thing to see, we haven't seen anything even remotely like that in the UK. Religion is a personal thing, it's not something you should enforce on others or use as a political football.

Ok, as a Brit, I'm confused. Could someone from the US explain this.

Doesn't the US constitution separate church from state? And that the Government is of the people, by the people, for the people. So to impose one religion on all the people would be excluding those people with different beliefs, and is therefore unconstitutional.

If so, how on earth can the Republicans play the religion card so heavily, and pass laws which are based on someone's moral beliefs?

Religion and politics really shouldn't mix, it's asking for trouble.

It basically comes down to the fact that some people give more of a shit about their religion than their politics and thus vote with a religious-minded morality. Yes, separation of church and state is SUPPOSED to be the norm, but the religious right is REALLY REALLY skirting the issue. They're kind of getting as close to the line as they can without going right over it.

Bush-Edwards presidency.

It looks like the Senate will remain in Republican hands, giving Cheney the vice-presidency in case of a tie.

Man, some lawyers are going to get paid. Contesting elections is a growth industry.

 

[Duck of Death]

LOL, a few people I work with said the same thing. Allegedly Kerry isn't a "true christian" or something along that line.

Whatever :\

 

[Socreges]

A personal Christian that doesn't employ his beliefs when operating in politics. You can't feel comfortable with that! You need someone who's crazy enough to speak to God and tell you about it!

As rude and blunt as that statement is, it's fairly accurate.

heh, I was thinking the exact same words, when clicking on this thread, substitute "gaf" for "man".

That's a very odd thing to see, we haven't seen anything even remotely like that in the UK. Religion is a personal thing, it's not something you should enforce on others or use as a political football.

The problem with the system is not religion. It's two political parties. It's one thing I'd like to see us take from the UK. I'd be all for more choice. As it is, conservatives represent more of my values, but CERTAINLY don't represent all of them. There are some important values I hold, like stem cell research/abortion, that go against what my "party" believes.

 

[DarienA]

Ed Helms at the rocked Bush Party! LOL I should have turn to the Daily Show much sooner.

Fucking fuckering fuck.

 

[Kettch]

You forgot Ohio

Kerry still has a good chance in Ohio. But if it does go to Bush, Kerry would need to take Wisconsin, New Mexico, and Nevada for the tie, which is also conceivable.

 

[ShadowRed]

Problem in SW Florida... the touch screen voting system is apparently having problems, they are actually on the phone with the company that created the machines/software to see why the machines are reporting wrong. The numbers aren't matching up from what is being taken at the machines vs. what the machines are reporting to the poll folks as the number being taken.

You gotta be shitting me. There have been problems in Texas with the voting machines and I have read on other boards that in many other states their machines have been fucking up. Do these machines get beta tested or do they just drop them off at the polls and cross their fingers. This shit is so fucking frustrating. A fucking video game gets more error testing than the fcking polling machines.

JOHN KERRY WINS PENNSYLVANIA.

Kerry now 3,000+ ahead in NH.

 

[DarienA]

Every state that had it on the card voted for the gay marriage ban? WOW.

CNN and Yahoo both reporting that Kerry took PA.

 

[Mason]

Jon Stewart looks so sad behind all the funny. Seriously, he seems kind of pissed/depressed. I'd better get back to NBC.

I wouldn't say the majority of America is "obese". Obese is pretty fucking fat. Maybe at least slightly overweight.

Too much of america is comprised of mindless religious zealots, though.

 

[goodcow]

CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS.

For what it's worth, FOX News is calling it [PA] too close to call.

That is ridiculous.

How can any legislator, in any nation, avoid having thier religious/moral beliefs affect the thier votes?

How about the belief that "thal shall not kill"? What if some dude says that according to his religion of Nintendoism says that every November 15th, I am allowed to sacrafice one child-xbot to my God? Your votes to outlaw homicide are imposing your religious beliefs on me!!

THat bad. You are a bad man. A baaad, intollerant, zeallot! Let me worship Mario the Magnificant in peace.

Actually I'm pretty sure "obese" is only 20 pounds overweight.

It packs the punch of a "you fat fuck" in American vernacular though.

I seriously want to type a long rant, but I'm too depressed to even....

Now 4,000+ ahead in NH.
