I am beginning to become scared that Romney/Ryan will win. Can smart people please post here and say reassuring things to convince me that he won't?

does this test well amongst angry white people?

It's a good question and I wouldn't be sure that it does. It's not like the economic issue, where people are holding on to conservative ideology and convinced that Obama is taxing them to the hilt. I haven't seen a lot of people angry about the fact that we haven't been more aggressive about Syria or Iran.

mccain is quietly appealing to clash fans, fits with his romney can't fail slogan

mccain was speaking in code to people who think that "feckless" means "dickless".

had a nightmare last night in which I was watching a tv station that was broadcasting romney's state-by-state wins on election night

like I woke up and was like, oh, election day is still a week and a half away

haha i had that one too the other night.

If we're going to have a Republican candidate, it's better that we have Establishment Romneys and "Fag" McQuains. I have a neighbor who is all "angry white guy with a gun" that he is awfully quiet about Romney. I hear that Massachusetts makes people gay.

Don't a lot of those scary white people hate establishment types?

smart take

Oklahoma still has the best license plates. There's this one:

which is a classic, but there's also this one now, apparently:

ha

Very similar to this horrible thing that we have in Ohio:

Now we're about to get this, which is the license plate equivalent of those car with 50 bumper stickers:

Great layout, too - just to the right of the first set of digits you get

LAKE
ERIE
GLACIA
OCKING
UT
UG
EAD
USE

that is boss

I would gladly take that new Ohio plate over this:

That's the new default plate for Georgia, where we've gone from not being as tacky as all our neighbors to out-tackying them fiftyfold.

Georgia plate looks like it should emit the smell of old lady perfume.

License plates turned into wallpaper so gradually I didn't even notice.

i think this one is pretty f rad

i kind of like the peaches one, it reminds me of old orange crate art or something

Big Bear. Fall apples. German Village. Brick. Voting Ohioans must outnumber voting Floridans.

fruit crate art

Georgia plate looks like it should emit the smell of old lady perfume.

They actually held a design contest, which was voted on by the public. And yes, an old lady designed the winner.

yeah but come on a licence plate that mentions death, you got to give up the props

No one does it better than Nevada though

"Suspect's license plate reads '20150 A E=MC2'"

Nevada FTW

(sorry -- electoral votes -- duh)

The worst plates are the ones that feature a URL.

still classy:

wow the nevada mushroom cloud one, a+

'you'll get a bang out of nevada!'

it does radiate a certain charm

Not to derail the conversation from license plates, but this via my wife's friend:

The woman that cleans my house and watches the kids just got her US citizenship yesterday. It's been a LONG time coming, years and years she has been trying. She was (until yesterday!) a legal resident, pays her taxes, etc, etc. She was finally able to take the test last week, then told it would be 3 months until she was sworn in. Then all of a sudden they told her to come weds. She went and there were almost 4000 people being sworn in, given voter registrations cards, a video message from Obama, then a song with video of the country about our country and thanking the troops who have died for our freedom. Apparently there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Just in time to vote...

"mccain keeps calling me feckless, and he's half right...when it comes to john mccain i don't have a feck to give." - one of the puns that would kill my political career

OMG! They want new citizens to vote IN AN ELECTION YEAR!

not just any citizens, but people who CLEAN HOUSES

Josh, great story!

I would like to see that Obama video tbh, could make me sentimental

sheesh first they want to be paid, then they want to vote?

xp

lol at irony of guy who's not even a citizen welcoming people into the country

I'm sure they snuck Barack in there amidst the 4000 people to make him official.

heh-heh

uh oh

http://www.vice.com/read/is-this-obamas-kenyan-birth-video

vice has a video of obama's kenyan birth!

first comment
"super 8 film wasn't introduced until 1965, before that it was 8mm. the Kenyan flag shown in the video wasn't introduced until 1963... so next time make up a better story and get a better production designer... or at least do better research, this took all of 5 minutes for me to find"

lol

also that baby is HUGE

gave me an idea for halloween costume: obama's birth video

So I guess the only thing to do now is trainspot for unexpected endorsements

nah bro, allred surprise

also there will be some sort of backwards B thing

Hey, what was Trump's October surprise?
