Yeah I was really tired Tuesday morning and I was going to blow it off. Then I thought of the All State commercial where the lady in the wheel chair went through all this stuff so that she could get to the voting both. So I was like I am a serious lazy piece of crap if I don't go. I as so GLAD I did it and when I saw Obama win I was like I had a part in this great American moment! The easy part is over for Obama, now it is time for him and all of us to put our heads down and shovel ourselves out of this shit. Today is the start of a great new start! Amen!!!!!!

| Re: Election Day Thread 2008 I don't know about you guys but I'm beat today. I just had to stay up to see Obama speak and I'm really glad I did. The best thing about an election like that is for a few moments you can't help but feel incredibly optimistic about the future. And of course the impact of electing an African American is so significant, I really feel that one day we'll look back on this as being a true turning point in regard to race relations in this country. For years we've heard this talk of how things have improved in that regard, well last night was a clear statement of just how far we have come. It wasn't that long ago when we had such a significant racial divide in this country. Obviously in certain areas of the country the problem still exists and probably will for a long time, but this represents a significant step forward no doubt. It's a good day to be an American. |

I never called out all rural supporters, but if you stop by the local 711 in culpeper va and hear a bunch of guys in camo talking about taking a shot on that "N****r" when he takes office... I'll call those ignorant ****s whatever I want.

I don't live in Culpeper, btw. I've never been a fan of the place, either. But, I also don't believe your initial, blanket statement is fair.

| Re: Election Day Thread 2008 after re-reading my original statement I realize the error... however if it was one incident I wouldn't be compelled to make the comment... The trailer park statement was more a dig, but I didn't intend to blanket rural republicans as completely ignorant... especially as I am a rural republican (I just have never voted for a republican president) I have seen my share of ignorant obama supporters as well, and equally racially motivated people voting for him because he's black... but the idea that as a country we are electing a muslim terrorist who is going to let the black panthers take over the fbi and all that bs is completely moronic... and I've heard a lot more of that bs than I ever expected to. It just kind of blows my mind. Ive heard so much BS about him being a terrorist arab muslim radical racist who hates america its insane. Not just here, but I travelled accross the country this summer and had several instances where I was involved in political discussions and whenever he was brought up people really got ignorant. Not an Isolated incident by any means. Travel outside the city and bring him up... you'll see what I mean...

| Re: Election Day Thread 2008 Jesus, get over it. It was a bunch of he said, she said, hearsay the entire campaign of both Obama and McCain. But it's done. It's over. Time to start dropping the name calling and the finger pointing and start moving on to trying to fix the errors of the past 8 years.

| Re: Election Day Thread 2008 Did you guys hear Palin thought Africa was a country? And that she didn't know what countries are in NAFTA? And that a McCain aid called her a hillbilly from Wasilla raiding Neiman Marcus from coast to coast? You can't make this stuff up. And this stuff is coming from her own campaign! Her selection will go down as one of the historical political goofs. |
