Just "an" idiot.
And if anyone says they're just voting for Obama because they don't want to get attacked for their views...seriously? Coward. Stand up for what you believe in. If you're SO fucking proud of the man who's run one of the most dishonerable, vile, lying campaigns like McCain has, along with that genius Palin, say it loud and proud, don't be a pussy.
You must hate this bailout
you should give back/refuse your social security
you should never be able to reap the benefits of medicare or universal health care (which hopefully obama will implement)
And tax and spend?? That's what the government is supposed to do, idiots. We pay taxes then the government is supposed to SPEND it on stuff that benefits all of us. The difference is McCain will use it to keep the Iraq "war" going, give his rich/corporate friends the money, drill baby drill, all that shit and NOT improve infrastructure, roads, health care, etc, etc
The democrats have historically been BETTER at handling the money than the republicans. Bill Clinton ring a bell??
So yes, to reiterate, if you vote for McCain and especially with that dimwit, secessionist Palin, I can't think of one newspaper that I read, I can see Russia, on the ticket - then you are an idiot - and I wish there was some rule where if you talked so much shit about Obama you don't get to benefit from all the good he will do.
Are you serious? Are you serious that you didn't feed and water your dogs on a daily basis? I hope you're joking. But if you're not, I want to take you and not feed you for a few days and I'd like to punch you as hard as I could in your face.
I hope you're joking.
I'm going to start a petition to make divorce illegal. It's destroying marriage. It's wrong, against the bible and I want it to be illegal for two consenting adults to get divorced.
She could have held on a little longer to see history being made. That's sad.
I'm an atheist, but I know Obama believes in god so I will say this for him - maybe she felt it would help her grandson more to be his guardian angel watching over him on election day than suffering in a bed in hawaii.
You raised an american hero Ms. Dunham, a man of history.
And all the Salon writers - Rebecca, Glenn everyone!!!
and standardize all voting in every state. i hope obama and kucinich get on this. it needs to change.
on Rove being a human being.
my words to Rove and all the republicans
GO. FUCK. YOUR. SELF.
Where's the trolls? hey you fucking cowards - come out, come out whereever you are.
GO. FUCK. YOUR. SELF.
I wish we could make a rule they these ppl and the Obama haters (he's a Muslim, a N*g*er, etc) would NOT benefit from anything Obama will do. fuck them.
and what does "shakedown artist wife" mean? seriously. go fuck yourself.
After 8 years of a destructive war criminal moron and the hateful shit people said about such an honerable man as Barak Obama, and fox "news" et al - yes
fuck them.
President Elect Barak Obama - I am proud and honored to be alive to see one of the most significant moments unfold in the history of the United States - and possibly the world. After slavery, after separate but equal, after Rosa Parks, after MLK - wow. I say again...wow.
er...his fat??
No one in that war crime administration gets any feel-good from me. They murdered hundreds of thousands of people by purposefully perpetuatin lies. Fuck Condi.
i've heard there's a large number of absentee ballots that haven't been counted. anyone know about that?
and I'm definitely hoping Scalia kicks off within the next four years. he's a disgrace.
I don't think the us supreme court will take a gay marriage case. i think they'll puss out.
must be done to protect a minority group, gays, once and for all from such horrible injustice and non-equal protection under the law. California STRIPS rights that already existed. Arkansas not allowing gays to adopt?? Many states not even allowing for civil unions. People, this has to stop.
this has to stop
What you say is obvious certaintly. However, I don't think with the current US Supreme court, even if Obama gets to appoint 3, it will still be 5 to 4 conservative, with that prick Scalia basic his opinions, like all of his, on personal belief. I'm honestly hoping for Scalia to kick off. People should not stand in the way of clear, fair progress and the protection of basic rights for all.
I also think the problem withe Prop 8 was bad wording - the YES needs to be FOR marriage for all. It was confusing with the NO vote meaning "i'll vote no to say yes to gay marriage." And I think their commercials (the No commercials) were poorly done.
for a majority to decide what rights a minority group is or is not allowed?
And in the CA constitution, doesn't it have some sort of equal rights clause. wouldn't the prop 8 amendment go against that?
Aren't the courts there to protect the minorities? when did this change?
DOMA and the don't ask don't tell must be repealed immediately.
there will never be a "right" time - as far as accepting gays - the religious bigots and idiots will never change their minds.
I'm so angry about this.
