Posted on November 6, 2012 at 5:21pmHey Rifleman,
We were rockin’ in Cincy as well. I live in a village of less than 4000. Less than 2000 are registered and adults. We have three polling sites. There are never lines. In fact, when I usually vote in mid morning I rarely see a single person (and I vote in every election, always). I was in line for 5 min. today. It may not sound like a lot but it definitely is here.

If Thornton (MOH) can grab Norris (MOH) by the UDT vest and swim while dragging Norris miles out to the picket Destroyers of the coast of Vietnam, you can stay in line to vote.
If Levitow can dive on a lit aerial flare and shove it out of the door of his AC-47 gunship you can put up with the stress of standing in line to vote.

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 10:54pmPlease get over fast the belief that this election was lost due to improprieties. We need to unite as a country, and most of the electorate is not of the belief that ridiculous social issues (rape victims ‘shut down so no baby is conceived’ and ‘babies from rape are a gift from God,’ and ‘Gay people are evil’) should rule our country. Please unite as a country and compete against the rest of the world, not with other Americans.

if ron would have sought counsel of God for guidance in his political career, he would have been much more successful, and his patriotic viewpoints would have gotten more traction with the American public.

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 2:32pmI can barely believe November 5th is finally here. A few questions:
Who thinks the results really be resolved tonight?
Will 0bama peacefully transition power if he loses?
What hell will he unleash on us in the lame duck period?

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 2:43pmBary will lose and I don’t believe we’ll have to wait too long to know,the talking heads say it’ll be a long night but I disagree.The Marxist POS will relinquish power peacefully but he’ll pardon cop killers and release the blind sheik before Jan 20. His lazy worthless worshipers won’t get violent because they’re too stupid and lazy to figure out how to go about it.

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 2:31pmAt our polling place in VA, we always walk in and out with about 2 to 3 other people in there tops. This morning, we went in around 11 a.m., and there was a line that snaked several times around the room. I’m guessing there were 25 to 100 people in line. Also, the Democrat table outside was lookin’ pretty lonely, while the GOP table was hoppin’. Go Mitt!

In this case, Steph might be correct. There will likely be even more dead voters voting in Philly this time than in 2008. Well, and there’s no telling how many times each Panther gets to vote under different aliases.

I know I must be reading your guys’ posts too much because when I saw Gary Johnson’s name on the ballot, I thought of ‘justangry’ and ‘soybomb’! lol –
Good news for you guys though… today I spoke with the public defender that I deal with (I’m a prosecutor) – and she said that she and her husband voted for Gary Johnson! She said that her dad still writes in Ross Perot :)

TBH, I’m not really a huge Gary Johnson fan. I think he’s wrong on a lot of issues. I wouldn’t vote at all if there wasn’t a chance for equal ballot access

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 2:59pmYep I saw that yesterday. Something wicked this way comes….. I think Romney wins the Popular vote by about 5 to 6 million. How wicked would it be if that is the way the final map reallylooks and NBC ABC CBS had already get their talking points from the CIA, vis a vis Valerie Jarrett and Squirrel Axelrod.

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 4:04pmI don’t think so. Everyone in my line was dressed for work but me. I was wearing ‘my’ work clothes- paint spattered torn jeans. No one gave me the stink eye, even though I looked like the only liberal stooge in the place.
BTW, Can anyone in the world explain to me why any self respecting artist would vote DEM? Any time my art has been stolen, or I’ve been robbed of pay, it’s been a liberal that did it.

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 5:56pm@SMOKIE, Liberals are hypocrites by nature. The entire ideology is based on avoiding accountability and responsibility in order to create a comfortable reality where what is right is what provides pleasures and escapes and reinforces the lies that they tell themselves. What is wrong is anyone or anything that would threaten to shatter this facade. If you have ever watched a friend or a loved one decline into a destructive addiction then you may have noticed that once that addiction gains control the addict will then defend the addiction and defend the enablers and the providers. Eventually this individual will distance themselves from those who cause them to look objectively at what they have become. This in my mind is not only the nature of addiction but of any wrong thing. If a person has guilt then they will either face it or run from it. The liberals are simply running scared from their own sense of conscience and a person like Obumhole is perfect for them because he makes all of their problems seem as if they are not problems at all. They get all their free stuff, morality ceases to exist and the rest of us get PUT IN CHAINS(rather they tighten the already ever present cuffs on our wrist) and blamed for all of their failures. Try asking any liberal a simple question with only one factual and honest answer and you will see how they try to misdirect you, change the subject or just flat out lie hoping that you will believe it. Times is bad Y’all….

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 2:35pmThere are intelligent Libertarians and then there are the “others”. Rand Paul, Glenn Beck and I are in the first group = we voted to save the USA from socialism by voting a straight Republican ticket. The “others” voted for “O” and socialism via a 3rd party ballot.

I voted for Johnson. It was between him and Virgil Goode. I ultimately went with Johnson because the difference between the two weren’t that great and the significance of a 2nd party candidate getting a noteworthy amount of the vote was important.

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 2:42pm@Kay If we wanted to support Obama, we’d just… vote for him… why do so in a backwards manner and risk a Romney win if we were Obama supporters?
This is the logic that makes me SMH. Really?
Obama isn’t appreciating us for this result, he’s thanking Romney for being an idiot and disenfranchising us. I’m sure he’ll give him a call, after the victory speech, and thank him for not fooling the Constitutionalist, Libertarians and Independents into voting for him.
If Obama thanks anyone for this slim margin victory, it’s the GOP and Romney’s failure to capture our votes.
@CYMRY at 3% of the colonies, I’m sure our revolutionary founding fathers were believed to be irreverent to. Their being underestimated was one of the keys to the success of our revolution and gave us the freedoms we (used to) enjoy today (before). 4.5% for Libertarian Party is significant, but the goal is 5% and a third party can actually compete next time.
Vote for Freedom. Vote for Liberty. Vote Libertarian.
Gary Johnson 2012. Be Libertarian.

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 3:36pmHopefully he gets the required 5% to get the funds for next time. Anybody who lives in a Blue state has no vote anyway. The few republican votes will be swallowed by the dim wit dem vote, so a vote for the libertarian would actually do good. Getting more voices heard instead of evil dictator #1 or slightly less evil dictator #2.

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 3:53pm@WarMunger_Al, Equal funds would be nice, but I’d actually like to see us stop paying for all of it tbh. Ballot access is what counts. That way we can’t pr**ks like Romney suing to keep us off states’ ballots.
