The Choice of a New Denigration: the US Election Day 2012 Thread

the shitbags who think it's cool to drop in right after an election

I am still cracking up that the staffers' credit cards were cut off immediately after the concession speech

oh god

There's something poignant about a shitload of unused fireworks

I can't wait to see my friends who were on the Obama tech team in person, partially to give one of them shit because when he got a hug from the president the other day, he was apparently so tongue-tied all he could do was kind of stammer "uh, you are excellent"

just due diligence against a rogue, palinesque shopping spree

To be fair I am always like Chris Farley's interviewer character when I meet someone I admire. xp

I almost forgot about that! Didn't she supposedly buy like $100k of clothing?

From the "this election was lost to the leeches" files: I saw someone driving a (really expensive) car around downtown MPLS last night with the fake Ben Franklin quote -- "When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic" -- written all across his rear windshield.

all the stores were closed! the bars were closing in an hour! they maybe could have run up some 4-figure bar tabs but aside from that...

but the great thing is that allegedly most of them found out when they tried to use their cards to pay for the dejected cab rides they took back home/to their hotels

"French broads are awesome" -- Ben Franklin, former ambassador to France

clear eyes / full hearts / cant lose

who came up with that slogan, seriously

clear eyes / full hearts / oops

its from friday night lights

I think it originated with the football team Friday Night Lights was based on? Or maybe it was just a creation of the film/show.

ahh, that is the one that the show creator wanted to sue Romney over

it's super hilarious to me how 80% of the time when a Republican campaign picks some inspirational nugget from contemporary entertainment to use as a slogan or a rallying song, someone involved in the creation and/or presentation of that nugget pops up and says "don't use my shit, you hateful douche"

the other 20% of the time it's kid rock

Romney's chances arguably better if he's used Kid Rock's "Born Free". (I still like that song, shut up.)

*he'd

I stopped going to see every candidate that dropped by my workplace during primary season after I saw Huckabee. Total waste of my time.

Ha, you should've lived under his governorship for 11 years.

"Are these idiots getting dumber or just louder?"

"Dumber, sir."

apparently all the republicans are coming to Iowa under the guise of celebrating our governor's birthday

I don't think Branstad is as bad as Huckabee, but good god, I cannot believe we have this turd for governor again. He was in the office for '83-'99 (!) and, due to some horrible bungling on the part of the state democrats, he decided to bounce back into the office.

I'd look at a portion of the -3 million Bam votes for left-wing protest.

I'm sure you would.

Meet me halfway? None of that drop is due to some progressives/starry-eyed youth discovering O is JAFP?

youth vote went up

I'm sure some of it is, but most of it is because only 4 or five states turned out to be integral to his win, and everybody knew it, and the urgency to vote if you lived in, say, New York or Arizona, was somewhat diminished vs. 2008 when nobody really knew what the map would look like.

wait are you saying O is a Japanese Financial Planner???????

also the states w/ the highest drop in voting were NY/NJ/CT ie safe states where lots of people were/are still fucked cause of the hurricane

yeah, i'd say far left resistance to obama and dem party was pretty marginalized this election

rrrrrrrrrreally i wonder by whom

hey guys I know the "who had it worse, Clinton or Obama?" conversation is tedious and untenable etc but I feel compelled to point out that the thing about no one saying shit about Obama's kids wasn't actually true, as pointed out by a hideous link on that Gawker story Phil just posted

that's all, carry on with talking to Morbs

hey guys I know the "who had it worse, Clinton or Obama?" conversation is tedious and untenable

i only think its tedious when people don't get that saying Obama isn't a citizen in any way compares to Whitewater

xxp prob ilx

Iowa was supposed to be a battleground state, more people turned out to vote than in 2008, and Obama ended up winning 52%/46%

6% difference seems kind of high for a supposed close contest?

hey guys I know the "who had it worse, Clinton or Obama?" conversation is tedious and untenable etc

that's all, carry on with talking to Morbs

when did we get caught between scylla and charybdis

i only think its tedious when people don't get that saying Obama isn't a citizen in any way compares to Whitewater

whoops, this is p. unclear.

i mean i only think it's tedious when people don't get how serious the hatred is toward Obama, how it's rooted in racism, and comparing that to the really dumb shit that was thrown at Clinton is silly.

I'm sad we haven't heard how Mitt's other secret wives responded to the election results

Anybody heard from Orly Taitz in the last couple of days? If she has any friends, they should check her closets/bathtubs/garage.

If she had friends, we wouldn't know who she is because they would have kept her from screaming to the media

Pretty sure Mitt only has the one. He doesn't strike me as a philanderer. Some of his sons, though...they seem shady.

sister wives is not philandering!

this is all very unpleasant

sorry guys, just trying to come up with some personal life conspiracy since dude is boring as hell

most evil is banal

I don't GIVE A SHIT what you FREAKS have to say to me. You are extremely disturbed if you feel compelled to call or want to be "friends" with, "follow", or subscribe to someone w/ whom u vehemently disagree. Obama isn't worthy OR qualified to lead this country. Almost HALF the country agrees...as does about 70% of the military. Your bullying doesn't bother me. I don't respond to your childish tactics. I do, however, keep meticulous records. Your threats & intimidation tactics may affect someone else...not me. This ain't my 1st rodeo...

I offer my opinion...I don't CARE if you like it or not. ***Thank you for all the VIEWS you liberals & liberal Ron Paul loving douchebags!!! The views, unlike YOU, will REMAIN on my channel forever. Ha. Ha. Ha.*** Thanks a bunch, Paulqaeda.

I allowed over 180 of your worthless comments. If there'd been more than 3 of you that anything worthwhile to say, I probably wouldn't have disabled the comments. You've got to be the most un-educated, simple-minded fools in this country. YOU are WHY we are IN the situation we're in. Your problem is that YOU can't recognize that fact. YOU and your families will pay the price. You now know what will befall them. Whether you seek to help them or not is up to you. How good of a person do you think you are? About 90% of you are mentally disabled.

i'm kind of sick of this guy

Kid Rock is one of the most offensive fart-lighting goobers I've ever had the displeasure to meet.

My friend once saw ran into him while she was out and said he was the greasiest person she had ever met.
