Hurrah!

Goodlookinguy 2008-11-04 09:20 PM

I knew a post would be made here already if I looked at the new posts.

Yay!

Anyone see how McCain's crowd booed Obama?

Tyrannicide 2008-11-04 09:22 PM

Fucking eh!

Kazilla 2008-11-04 09:22 PM

McCain conceded tonight in Arizona, Go-Bama.

Yup. It's over you fucking idiots; it's time to come together as a nation and put this election behind us. Whether you like it or not, Obama is your new president. EMBRACE IT.

And BOOYAH BITCHES.

i won myself $50. pwnd.

Jessifer 2008-11-04 10:57 PM

My phone went crazy a little after 11. I'm glad that this election wasn't a repeat of the last. ...I want a puppy too...

PureRebel 2008-11-04 11:15 PM

I'm glad the elections are finally over, no idea why it should have to affect our(Australian) media so much.. ><

Lenny 2008-11-05 03:57 AM

Because, like it or not, America has too much influence in the world.

I quite enjoyed this election. I stayed up until 4am, got three and a half hours of sleep, and then another two in my lecture, but it was worth it. It was interesting to see how the votes came in - McCain got a few, then a few more, Obama had three, which shot up to 70 something, and just kept rising. A one horse race. At 4am my time the last polls closed, and I was amazed to see his votes jump by nearly 100. Yeah, they were all Obama states anyway, but it still came as an amazement.

Sucks to be a Republican.

Not necessarily. I was all for Obama a couple months ago, he appealed to me a lot. Then, after doing a little research, I started to dislike his views on abortion.

"Ah... Dukakis! Tell him George!"

So, in the end, I was rooting for McCain. It doesn't really matter to me though. Whoever we get is better than Hill-dawg and I'm okay with that.

Awesome that we've finally voted in a black president though.

Titusfied 2008-11-05 04:21 AM

I'm a born and family raised Republican, and I even voted Republican. That doesn't go to say that I'm upset about Obama winning the race; I'm actually pretty enthusiastic about it. For the first time in my life did I actually contemplate not voting for the norm. I'm honestly hopeful that Obama can bring unity to our country, fixes or at least does his best to fix most/all the problems he's going to face, and totally changes my perception in the future. If Obama is half of what he's cracked up to be, I will whole heartedly change my status as a registered Republican, and simply vote for whom I think it the best candidate in the future, regardless of whether or not the candidate fits the "traditional mold".

I'm very intersted to see how his first year is going to pan out, because that is when most of the action is going to take place - especially in areas that are going to effect me the most; property taxes, wage taxes, and just the economy as a whole.

Don't get me wrong, I've debated on this forum against Obama supporters for various reasons, but mainly because it was fun. I've even conceded that I thought he would be a great President, just not now - and I hope for America's sake, I was wrong. I wouldn't be happier to be proven wrong either.

Congrats, President-Elect Barak Obama!

Lenny 2008-11-05 04:28 AM

The problem with you guys, and in fact everyone on the forum, is that you're not extremist. I've always wanted to know an extremist.

I imagine that everyone on the forum agrees, or believes, that Obama will change America, even if it is just righting the wrongs of Bush. We don't, for example, have any members like this:

Quote:

"It's terrible, just terrible," said Lindsay Diamond from Phoenix. "When the economy's bad, Republicans lose."

The 28-year-old dancer could take some consolation from Senator Obama's victory though. "I don't think we'll have to worry about another African-American president in four years time," she said.

"Because after what's going to happen in the next four years under Senator Obama, we'll never elect an African-American again."

"28-year-old DANCER"

Enough said.

Kazilla 2008-11-05 06:53 AM

I was honestly at wits end with a RLFriend of mine about this last night. The only slanderous bullshit he kept slinging was the fact that his name resembles Osama, and his middle name is Hussein. Under those circumstances anyone named 'Gates' is in someway shape or form the off-spring of Bill Gates and 'Paris Hilton' is as enjoyable as the actual city.

Edit your posts quick before d3v see's he has been sharing space with a republican he might pop a bolt loose.

Tidusfied losered? Or is this just the first time im noticing it?

Willkillforfood 2008-11-05 07:10 AM

Wtf no litigation?

I can't believe it.

This is the problem with being a registered Republican or Democrat. I say fuck that noise. I am going to vote for whomever I think will do the best job, regardless of party lines. For example, I voted Obama, a democrat, for president and voted Mitch Daniels, a republican, for governor of Indiana. Why would I do something so absurd you ask? Because Mitch Daniels has done a great job the last 4 years in Indiana; we're far better off than most states in this nation. Hell, our gas prices are at $1.95 right now! Now granted, they're going to go back up since the election is over and the government can rape us again now that we've participated.

I'm just saying you shouldn't vote for a specific party just because you've always done so. If there's a better candidate out there, vote for him/her!

Jessifer 2008-11-05 09:10 AM

Apparently one of the main reasons my sister voted for McCain is because, in her words: "Obama's just going to get shot within the year anyway. There are already threats out." I personally think she voted McCain for her boyfriend, who voted for McCain because "Palin is hot".

Thanatos 2008-11-05 09:13 AM

Sure there are threats but I really don't think Obama will get assassinated. Secret Service is going to be on alert more than ever.

And I'd advise against anybody making empty threats over the Internet because guys in suits will be showing up at your doorstep..

Kazilla 2008-11-05 10:04 AM

Obama's not going to get shot, all the threats are comming from the idiots who know nothing about anything, and think this "nigger" has no place in our society. They are empty threats from people without backbones.

I have wanted to know how Obama felt about the speculation of his assassination, I want to know how he feels about what people are saying. If I could ask him one thing, it would be, "How do you feel about the speculated assassination threats made against you in the following year" or something of that nature, perhaps add a little more intellect into the question.

Jessifer 2008-11-05 11:06 AM

I just hope people leave his kids alone, at the very least.

Same here. It is nice to see kids in the White House again, it gives more of a family vibe to the presidency.

i feel sorry for obama, although he's made a great achievement, he's going to have so many fucking rednecks up his ass. and i also hope his kids dont get targeted either.

Wallow 2008-11-05 05:30 PM

I stayed up until Obama made his acceptance speech yesterday, very exciting moment in my life. I hate though how so many redneck dumb asses in my school today kept on exclaming that they would be the ones to shoot Obama, or that he's definitely going to get shot. WRONG! My logic is that whoever is dumb enough to actually attempt to shoot Obama won't be smart enough to plan such a feat. They won't even be attempts, just resounding failures (just like past failures on Obama's life have been).

Jessifer 2008-11-06 09:20 AM

I wouldn't be suprised if Obama had more Secret Service than any other president.

Hayduke 2008-11-06 09:26 AM

You fucking fools! Who do you think killed JFK!? The Secret Service and the mafia!

Jessifer 2008-11-06 09:28 AM

Dear god, you're right. It all makes sense now!

He was killed in an open car in an open street back in 1963. I have a gut feeling we've progressed in the security of our presidents...

Lenny 2008-11-06 05:09 PM

Rly? Bush was nearly done in by a pretzel!

It'l be a piece of broccoli that does Obama in. Or maybe a bomb on Air Force 1.

---

It's been interesting to hear people around Uni talking about the election. In my building (48 people), there's only one who was rooting for McCain, and out of everyone I've talked to, and the people they know, there's only been another three McCain supporters.

Have people read/heard about Palin being made into a scapegoat? Apparently she milked her running for all it was worth, and ultimately was the reason why McCain lost.

WetWired 2008-11-06 06:48 PM

As if getting a bomb on to AF1 wasn't already tricky, once you get it there, you have a 50/50 chance that that plane is AF1 today and not the backup. For this plan to have a chance, you'd have to be in a position where you'd have a better chance walking into his office on the plane and slitting his throat with his letter opener.

Jessifer 2008-11-07 06:37 AM

From what I heard on TV, McCains age was more a factor in this election than Obama's race.

D3V 2008-11-07 07:36 AM

I saw the same thing.

Kazilla 2008-11-07 08:30 AM

I have met 2 mccain supports. one is an old co-worker, the other is this idiot spoiled ass rich kid from school who knows nothing of what he is talking about. i'm offended when he opens his mouth and spues(sp) non-sense. he mad a bulletin on myspace about how obama is lying and will bring america down.. annoys the living piss out of me. at least my co-worker has the right to speak freely.

In anycase, how do you think america would take the assassination of barack obama? civil war?

D3V 2008-11-07 08:36 AM

I've been getting into confrontation over the web with people I know as well. The worst part of the entire cycle is that their fuckhead ignorant uneducated parents are the ones spoonfeeding this crap into their heads, and they become the attack dogs.

Blah.

Jessifer 2008-11-07 09:20 AM

Spews.

If it were to happen, which I doubt, there would most certainly be an uproar...

Thanatos 2008-11-07 09:52 AM

I don't even want to know what would happen should Obama get assassinated.

Race war, anyone?
