sniper7's election night thread

[theGinsue]

ALL RIGHT FOLKS, STOP WITH THE PERSONAL ATTACKS OR THIS THREAD WILL BE LOCKED AND REMOVED.

Those that voted for Dearest Leader, now live with the consequences. This is going to be good.

+1, but they're taking the rest of us down with them.

How are people not being asked to 'sit' out with all this name calling b.s. Either you boys be nice or sack up and put some gloves on.

I agree

[bogie]

Does that mean Romney couldn't vote?

Or my grandpa?

[roberth]

Does that mean Romney couldn't vote?

Romney pays taxes on his investment income so he would get to vote.

[Ridge]

No, Romney pays taxes on his investment income.

Well what taxes are we talking here? Income tax? Sales tax?

[jhood001]

If you don't pay taxes then you shouldn't be able to vote for anything. Pay in or shut up.

I'm paid in in full. And while I firmly believe that there are plenty of those that vote in an unguided manner because they have nothing to lose, I also believe in the constitution and I believe in this country.

Things did not go as I wanted them to tonight, but I am not bitter enough or childish enough to propose a changing of the rules so that I can get my way. Neither you, nor anyone else on this earth gets to choose where they are born. And in THIS country, so long as you are born here, you have a voice.

I respect the system that we have far above and beyond my own personal wants and beliefs.

We'll all be alright after tonight so long as we all keep trying. I get bummed out when the Broncos lose, but I would never propose that they start playing college teams so that they can improve their odds of winning.

Suck it the fuck up.

Maybe lost a battle but maybe not the war. O is going to face some very uncomfortable days. Benghazi, Fast & Furious, a very obviously forged document. I think a bunch of folks that laid low during his first term are going to be much more critical of him. Those that were critical the first go are going to be very much more so.
I will be curious if he will still be the media darling as well.
A customer of mine made the statement that if he wins re election it will be the death of the mainstream media and the Democratic party.

I do feel we will see a more aggressive O, and will really fall back to his ideology.
Welcome Islam.
Welcome open borders.
We will see another AWB, only stricter than Clintons and permanent.
We will see anything firearm related increase in cost exponentially.

This says a lot about the voting public. They have a memory shorter than a 4 year old with ADD and a Meth addiction.
Hurricane Sandy saved O's ass. He went there and acted as a President should. People remembered that and forgot about the prior 3.90 years of failure.

Oh, and to Chris Christie - Fuck You. While you did the correct thing and were gracious to the President you sucked his choda. You swallowed the FlavrAid with great zeal.
You will change to D in 6 months or less.
Just as I had respect for Colin Powell at one time so goes with you.

[TFOGGER]

We are SOOOOOOO fucked....we'd have been fucked either way, but this way it's just dry, no reach around.

[asmo]

But when people are allowed to vote themselves no work and get all kinds of benefits, that I have to work for and PAY for, then I think something needs to change.

Bread and Circuses.

"‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader—the barbarians enter Rome.”
― Robert A. Heinlein

Well what taxes are we talking here? Income tax? Sales tax?

Capital gains tax on investment income.

I don't know if sales tax would allow a person to vote.
