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.
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.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.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.

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.

OK All this BS is just that BS no I did not vote for Obama, his color didn't mean **** to me but his ways did. I wish Herman Cain could have run against him. Then we could see what the vote was in the color / race. He may have had issues as ALL them do. I just now pray our country can survive 4 more yrs. Lets just pray for our country.
