[QUOTE=jeffmo;196698]Last evening I read a post on this site that described the citizens of Ohio as those "Bastards in Ohio f-d it up for those of us that desperately wanted to turn it around".Coming from a person in a state that can't seem to properly run an election it was funny at best. Funny is how the bastard comment was intended so you got it. It was all I could muster at 2:00 in the morning after getting confirmation that there would be no need for Florida's votes to even be counted. "A Win is a Win" in the same post gave credit to the massive campaign that got BHO re-elected, and he made a good speach. The people spoke, I wouldn't call it a mandate. Taxes will follow spending like we have seen before. No need to overdramatize voter fraud that didn't exist. My party won and I am utterly ashamed to be a Democrat.
Here in Ohio we have witnessed ALOT of very unfair things occur by some Republicans who hold office.Our Secretary of State ignored judges orders at least 3 times when it came to the republicans efforts to engage in voter suppression. If the effort you are referring to is voter ID then I disagree with you, everyone has an ID of some description, ID's required here in FL without a problem. Stop trying to play the victim, there has been no voter fraud that I am aware of. You won, don't make it into something it is not... Despite their efforts,people voted.So the BS about how we're "bastards" up here who "f-d it up" for some others who didn't get their way is just that,BS. BS is being a married, white, heterosexual, lower income father of one who is tired of his government fleecing him for his hard earned money so they can redistribute it in places I never even heard of. So for the difference of 3 points nationally? My vote was cast on deaf ears, that is the utter truth and I think it is BS. It is hard for me to accept that there could be a larger group of people out there that don't share my values and core beliefs. ie. The group of people that would want Obama as their president, but then I realized I am self reliant, I'm not for unions or wellfare or food stamps, or government housing, I don't have a dog in the fight on gay rights, immigration, or abortion. I don't ask for special programs to bail me out when I don't make good decisions. I take care of my own and therefore I ask very little of the elected government. , One more than one occasion we had to go to bat to prevent them from attemping to rig the vote.There should be a thank you for the efforts to keep that right from being trampled on.[/QUOTE
I will not thank ye Democrats for upholding the Constitution because they clearly have not in the past 4 years IMO. you are trying to make a counterpoint to a comment made by someone else I fail to understand. If you were sincerely offended by the BFO comment, I hope you can accept my apology. We are all in the same boat. Pun intended. We will certainly disagree on politics and religion.
