Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

Al Franken and Ron Coleman are going to have to go to a recount in Minnesota

Wow, so Norm Coleman was eliminated?

[MDS]

Is that his name, Norm? I could swear it was Ron...

Either way here are the PA Results:

Philly actually went 83% for Barry.
He won all the suburbs, by about 5-10 points, which youd expect.
He won about 4 counties in Pennsultucky.
He won Scranton, where there are 0 black people, by a large margin.
He won none of the shteintsburgh suburbs, but won Alleghany county itself.
Check out the bottom tip of PA, where they voted upwards of 75% for McCain. Can we nuke that part of the state, please?

He won Scranton, where there are 0 black people, by a large margin.

It's also Joe Biden's home town and, last I checked, has a relatively low median household income.


The talk of "nuking" differently-thinking people after this huge election will be the undoing of the Democratic party in the next four years.  If Obama can manage to keep his administration center-left like his campaign, the Republicans may never catch back up.  If he goes too far left, the country's going to swing back "red" in response.

[Rome]

The country is going to swing back anyway.  Might as well go nuclear on them now instead of being the timid little mice they've been during the last eight years.

Whatever you say, "Libertarian."

[rjs246]

FF is so bitter about liberal Libertarians.

[Feva]

liberally.

Hey, at least you mentioned something about Obama possibly moving too far left as if it could actually be detrimental.  Rome is on the record as saying that he's only a Libertarian in theory but not in practice, which is horseshtein.

Hell, in theory I'm a Socialist.  Socialism is ideal if people all do the right things for the betterment of the country and contribute to society as equally as they are capable.  But, this is America.  If someone can sit on his ass and have a lot of the same benefits as someone who goes to school for 20 years and tries to invent a new kind of alternative energy or becomes a doctor, that guy is probably going to sit on his ass.  The key assumption of Socialism (or even a severely progressive system of taxation) is that the more successful people keep striving for more success, even as their earnings are increasingly whittled away.

Anyway, good luck with that.  Taxing the rich and big corporations out the ass is only going to end up hurting the people at the bottom the most.

So bitter.

dumb farging homophobes in california passed prop 8

That's sad bullshtein right there.

They passed a bunch of bullshtein laws here. farg.

[Diomedes]

We're nowhere close to taxing rich people and big corporations out the ass for farg sake.  I'm so tired of people acting like the guy who makes 250 per year--per YEAR!!--is going to all of a sudden stop working, join the welfare rolls, lay off his nanny, if he has to pay an extra couple grand a year in taxes.

farg you.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So bitter.

The thing is that I'm not even bitter about Obama.  I think he's smarter than the idiots on this board.

farg you.

Hahaha.  Go ahead and take it to the extreme.  Fine.  But will the guy invest to grow his $250,000/year business to a $350,000/year?  Probably not.  Will corporations seek asylum in other countries where they can do business with less taxation?  Yes.  Will jobs be lost?  Yes.

Anyway, carry on with waving your American flag for the first time in your adult life and deluding yourself into thinking that all of our problems are going to be solved without creating new ones.

Don't go out on too much of a limb there, buddy.

[Diomedes]

Yes, I do think he'll keep working and keep investing, because he's doing pretty farging nicely and he likes it.   He's getting rich at a slightly slower pace than you would like, waaah.

it always kills me how you zealouts in a country of 300 million people can be so fixated on the 1% who try and take advantage of shtein....farging do what you gotta do and stop worrying about others peoples bidness...and if you cant do that then maybe spend your time trying to help the millions and millions of average americans that are struggling and getting farged rather than the crying like a bitch over the miniscule number of ingrates who take advantage of the system
