[BenjaminBirdie]

OBAMA WINS DIXVILLE

 

[Danthrax]

oh shit Dixville Notch: Obama 15, McCain 6! first time they've gone Democratic since 1968! Seems over for McSame! :lol

 

[PhoenixDark]

Whoa! Obama 15 votes. McCain 6.

Err where is this?

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Any Ohioans want to discuss the issues on the ballot?

It seems Libertarian thinking is closest to what I've got in mind these days (if I have to slap a convenient label on it), but I don't agree with all of their shit.

Issue 1: Petition Deadlines
Issue 2: Clean Ohio
Issue 3: Water & Private Property Protection
Issue 4: Health Families Act
Issue 5: Payday Lending Reforms
Issue 6: Clinton County Casino

 

[HylianTom]

LBJ :lol

The CNN guy went on for 5 minutes about how they were going to vote for McCain before the vote came in

I suspected as much. 1964, right?

ha! :lol

(wow.. Humphrey beat Nixon, 8-4. hehe..)

 

[Flesh Into Gear]

Obama won Dixville Notch.

Holy fucking shit.

Who was the last Democrat to win?

15-6!!!!!!!

[Danthrax]

1968, they voted for Humphrey or whatever


BTW PoliGAF is too fucking fast

[Y2Kev]

[mckmas8808]

OBAMA WON BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[polyh3dron]

oh shit Dixville Notch: Obama 15, McCain 6! first time they've gone Democratic since 1968! Seems over for McSame! :lol

But they went Dem in 68, and Nixon DESTROYED Hubert Humphrey that year.

 

[Tamanon]

There was a new South Park tonight??!?!

Look up several posts sir! New episode Wednesday involves the President arriving early.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

South Park's Obama already is put together better than most editorial cartoon versions.:lol

Yeah, but the episode will probably still be that lame libertopian "ha, we're smart because we disagree with BOTH sides" shit they've been running on for the last few years.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Look up several posts sir! New episode Wednesday involves the President arriving early.

Whoops! Just saw it on the last page.

I can't believe Obama won Dixville, and he didn't just win, he KILLED IT.

GOBAMA.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

What did Jesus say about advertising your fasting on Internet message boards?

I seem to recall that the whole principle behind his objection to public prayer was because the people who do it typically are only in it to show off to everyone else how spiritual they are. He told his followers not to be like them because "They already have their reward".

So, I suppose he'd be AGAINST.

Here's the problem with the Payday loan shit. We can't afford legal laissez-faire lending that amounts to loan sharking. People roll those things over and over and end up upside down in debt. Then eventually bailouts come in one form or another. Have we not yet learned after the last year that we need a nation of SOLVENT citizens?

When I was a kid, you couldn't charge more than 20% APR interest or you were a loan shark.

Fuck payday loans at up to 391% APR. Vote yes on Issue 5 in Ohio.

It's amazing how much Jesus was really about religion being personal, and really just confined to how you live your life and treat others. Somehow over the years that's warped into influencing public policy.

They just poke fun at both sides that's all and they do it well... nothing wrong with that, see: Team America.

Yep. It got really fucking preachy a few years ago. Haven't been back.

Bill Richardson is beardless

Bill Richardson is beardless

GAME OVER! MCCAIN WINS!

 

[speculawyer]

oh shit Dixville Notch: Obama 15, McCain 6! first time they've gone Democratic since 1968! Seems over for McSame! :lol

Well it is not like McCain was ever big in New Hampshire . . . . . . wait a minute . . . . :lol

 

[Stoney Mason]

Bill Richardson is beardless

That's too bad. He was like Evil Spock rocking that beard.

 

[PantherLotus]

one small white town down, the rest of America to go.

 

[TDG]

After Obama is elected tomorrow, we will still have to put up with over 2 months of George W. Bush.

What are the chances that Bush will go completely fucking apeshit, cause a major international and/or national disaster?

Absolute zero.

 

[HylianTom]

I blame ACORN. And their fancy paper ballots.

 

[Killthee]

WTF happened to Richardsons beard? He's now back to boring, no beard, primary season Richardson instead of awesome evil twin beard Richardson.... ;_;

 

[JzeroT1437]

Wait, so Obama's grandma died?

He better actually win tomorrow. That would be a pretty terrible Tuesday if he doesn't.

 

[Lemonz]

LOL Obama beats McCain 15-6 and the crowd goes wild :lol

Oh WOW!!! Damn.

 

[sangreal]

Yeah definitely vote yes on Issue 5. Payday loan places usually pop up in low-income areas, they basically make the poor poorer. Putting them out of business might lose us a few jobs, but it saves so much money for so many people in the long run.

As for the casino thing, Issue 6 I believe it is, the supposed no-taxation loophole should be enough of a scary possibility to say no. And it just doesn't sit well with me how it changes our state constitution just to open ONE casino. Bullshit.

As far as issues 1 through 3, I can't remember them because they're not as controversial. I think one of them renewed money for preserving the environment, so I'm going to vote yes on that one. Especially since it didn't actually tax anyone, it just authorized the state to issue bonds to pay for it. Pretty awesome all the way around.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Issue 1: Petition Deadlines - NO
Issue 2: Clean Ohio - YES
Issue 3: Water & Private Property Protection - YES
Issue 4: Health Families Act - YES
Issue 5: Payday Lending Reforms - YES
Issue 6: Clinton County Casino - NO

 

[PantherLotus]

Oh WOW!!! Damn.

[Speevy]

I'm calling New Hampshire for Obama now. Extrapolation.

 

[Loudninja]

I am confuse whats going on?

 

[Relix]

So I take it this is good? :lol

 

[artredis1980]

is it just me or is the least they have voted ever

 

[Blablurn]

Go Obama!

 

[Shalashaska]

nvm

 

[maximum360]

one small white town down, the rest of America to go.

Where is this your avatar from?

 

[Timedog]

where can i find obama's fired up speech???

 

[Cloudy]

When is Shuster gonna get his own show? I wanna see him grilling politicos on a regular basis

 

[sangreal]

So I take it this is good? :lol

It isn't a big deal -- they went for Obama in the primary (0 votes for Hillary) so I wouldn't call it an indicator or anything, but its nice since they are traditionally very republican and I can get my first taste of bitter tears before going to bed

 

[Danthrax]

Issue 1: Petition Deadlines - NO why? I kinda lean yes since the longer leadtime reduces voter confusion. petitioners will just start petitioning earlier -- easy.
Issue 2: Clean Ohio - YES agree
Issue 3: Water & Private Property Protection - YES I forget how this one goes but I think I agree
Issue 4: Health Families Act - YES doesn't matter, the petitioners withdrew it but not in time to technically take it off the ballot -- hence, voting YES on Issue 1 :lol
Issue 5: Payday Lending Reforms - YES agree
Issue 6: Clinton County Casino - NO agree

my responses in bold.

Hell the bible even talks about the people you mention. I don't blame those with faith I blame those teaching them the faith from a distorted view point.
