Breath spray please! I wanted to go buy a balloon to attach to our Bush/Cheney sign tonight, but my wife thought it would make us more of a target. She even wanted me to take the sign down, but I wouldn't. I guess I won't get to gloat to our liberal neighbors. :mad:

Re: Fox News has declared Ohio for Bush!!!!!!!!

Well, at this time of the morning, Bush leads by a tad over 100K votes. Those provisional ballots should never been allowed IMO. If your smart enough to vote, your smart enough to go to your poll!<br /><br />I think the media is to blame. Everytime they keep repeating over and over something, people tend to follow their lead. Yep, Ohio is going to be the deciding state, the media has been saying that for how long now. <br /><br />To me there should not be any results posted until the whole country has been counted and the polls closed.

Just a question from the north..<br />Is America as deeply devided as the news portrays it?<br />Do republicans and democrats really fight like cats and dogs?<br />Can they agree on nothing?

Re: Fox News has declared Ohio for Bush!!!!!!!!

voodoo, this all manufactured by the media. They do agree on things, 1. The wealthy continue to be wealthier, 2. the poor, well give them a bone now and then 3. let the middle class pay for it. 4. spend, spend, spend. 5. Give it away to other countries, help them improve, 6. Screw the elderly. Other than that, things here are bloody wonderful.

voodoo, study past election results going back<br />say 100yrs and u will see the same kinda splits.<br />this is the first time since '88 that the pres.<br />winner carried the popular vote, including clinton<br />twice. it is also a record amount of votes ever<br />cast for a president in history.<br />NYM has it right, it's all media spin. controversy<br />sells...

All you have to do is read the threads on iboats here. Anyone who disagrees with bush is considered a traitor, scum, mutant, socialist (or Nazi!) or at best just ignorant (you know, the young are all ignorant).<br /><br />Now the republicans have four years to amend the constitution so that they can just coronate their guy and we won't have to have these divisive elections ever again! <br /><br />honestly, I'm sure kerry is breathing a big sigh of relief. Now W can be the one to sort out the mess of his own making. I never understood why kerry or anyone else would have wanted the job. Now that the repubs are running the whole show, then we know exactly who will be responsible for the next four years (or more if they pull off the coronation thing).

Re: Fox News has declared Ohio for Bush!!!!!!!!

Anyone want to give an refresher course on how we amend and ratify amendments to the Constitution of The United States?<br /><br />It appears some people think it is done in Washington D.C., and by a simple majority.<br /><br />It doesn't make them any of the those names listed above, perhaps just forgetful.<br /><br />Rest easy woodrat, it isn't going to happen.

Re: Fox News has declared Ohio for Bush!!!!!!!!

Yahoooo!!! Bush re-elected, more seats in the house and senate, most governors are republican.<br />It is so funny how the dems said they were going to get in there and change everything. And now that they have LOST, all they can say is that the Republicans need to reach out to them. Kind of ironic.

NYMINUTE and mellowyellow have pretty much nailed it. Its the News Media that drives most of this as they are soo biased to the left. And they think it sells.. <br /><br />EXAMPLE Two weeks ago I'm leaving a 7-11 after getting a cup of coffee. As I'm paying for it I see a older guy park his van next to mine. His has Kerry stickers on it and mine has Bush stickers. As I open the door for him he looks back at our vans and with a twinkle in his eye says Gee, you would open the door for me? I say ofcourse your my elder :) He then puts his hand out for a shake and wished me luck for my party and I did the same. <br /><br />But you won't this type of thing in our news.

I know its all over now but yes I was in complete agreement with you at that time.. but I sure did have fun later watching Dan Blather :)

All of those names and more are what the peace-loving non-divisive right wingers have been calling anyone who doesn't agree with them on this forum for weeks now.<br /><br />As to the Constitution, it doesn't need to be amended, just ignored. both parties have been doing that for decades. W's administration has pushed the FF button though.

Re: Fox News has declared Ohio for Bush!!!!!!!!

I love it, Cleveland, Columbus, and Cinci all were won by Kerry. However it was the rural counties, small cities and towns that outvoted the big cities. This was my thoughts the whole time during the campaign. <br /><br />I think the record turn out was due to the dems having a canidate that the people (not republicans) didn't want in office. I know that was the main reason my wife and I voted for the first time in 30 years. There must have been more like us as well.<br /><br />Wonder if Hillary will run in 2008?

Re: Fox News has declared Ohio for Bush!!!!!!!!

Gotcha.<br />It's like up here.<br />The hot button (abortion ,gay rights,health care, "social justice" etc.)issues get all the press.<br />They are very regional, rural or urban, east or west biased.<br />For or against, they make for lively debate.<br />We almost elected a very good man (conservative) but the real issues were clouded by the above mentioned hot buttons.<br />Too bad 'cause he is a good honorable man.<br />At least we debate (if you can call it that in our parliment ,your congress), not kill each other. Well we did in 1861. Holy crap you can find alot of stuff on the net, check this out http://www.islandregister.com/mainem.html <br />Maybe you do owe us some land?? We'll take Florida, and maybe Califrnia if you keep Arnie.<br />Good luck W.<br />Anyone who uses the word Nazi or Dictator needs a refresher in history.<br />Or a few months stay with Pinochet, Hussein or Milosevic.
