Give Christie a kick in the ass for me, he is much closer to you than me, Lord knows the target is large enough. [/quote]
LOL only in the Republican bubble can this loss be ascribed to Chris Christie…nope, not at all a referendum on right wing ideas and obstructionism.[/quote]
Dude you’re from DC, 95% of your state went for La Bamba, he can do no wrong in your mind.

This narrative of government being like a daddy, daddy come fix this…
If you listen to the Obama people, you hear this. They scream out, “daddy daddy help me”, rather than many of us here who like to help ourselves.
So when daddy hands out shit, talks brilliantly and gives people all sorts of warm and fuzzies, they come back to daddy’s lap, and want more.
As Obama wins, the crowd cheers to the applause of “Fix this daddy…”

I’ve actually never said any of that…is this more bubble-talk?
In other news I just explained to a buddy that he just voted for and is celebrating that money that could have been his raise is now going to the government…
Pretty sure I just ruined his night, lol.

Yeah all those violent pot smokers no longer in prison committing all dem’ der’ crimes[/quote]
Right, 65% of Federal inmates are in for drug crimes, I would know, I was one. So yes, let’s let them out, and of course EVERY single drug deal goes down smooth…riiiiight.
Also, have fun trying to regulate it once it’s legal. As we found out, the moment it was legalized, every single opposing politician was bribed to oppose regulation. We now have pot dispensaries on numerous city blocks.
lol countingbeans I’m not some democratic strategist - I don’t mean Bush 3 like you think.
Seems to me like you’re insinuating you thought Romney was going to be some Reagan-eque figure.
I’m not trying to have any conversation with you…
If you want to treat everything like a market start treating elections like one. Half of y’all are caught up in ideological fallacies that aren’t even important.
Honestly, you don’t know how funny economists think it is (of which I hang around a few) when they hear people talking about how Romney was going to cut taxes and improve the economy.
Look at the commericial paper spread tomorrow to see how the market views Obama’s win.

No offense homie, but you haven’t contributed to this conversation we’ve been having in here since JUNE.
Your posts here now are seen as partisan gloating.
If you want discussion great. If you’re hear for other purposes just go or expect to be largely ignored.[/quote]
Nah no chest thumping here…Though I’m perfectly ok with being ignored…
Just came in to point out things I found erroneous and comical.
Carry on

I actually never said you said it. I said it. Yes, this is bubble talk, the Dems bubbled it in today on their ballots.

I don’t think so. I think we’re dumb as bricks–come on, in a country where the majority of people think quality programming is Jersey Shore and Honey boo boo? where a lot of people cant properly name all fifty states? Noooo.
Ftr I also think we are corrupt.

I would think that all the believers on this forum would just accept the re election of Obama as their god’s will. Or, could it be that the Obama campaign outmenouvered even thier mighty god?

It’s so arrogant to presume that an all powerful Creator of the Universe would take personal interest in one election of one nation, on one planet, in a solar system of 8 planets, in a galaxy of 200-400 billion stars with perhaps as many planets, and in a Universe of at least 100 billion galaxies. Yeah, that’s a safe bet.[/quote]
Woah, what is this hot mess? What believer here said God picks the President of the US?
[/quote]
Trib’s previous statements advocating that God is punishing the US for turning away from the tenants of Christianity.nothing beyond that.[/quote]
Then what’s all this believers (plural) bs? Granted, it wasn’t you saying believers (plural). I saw bigflamer’s (who I now remember I have on ignore) quote through yours. I do not believe God ‘picked’ Obama to punish us. Or, because Obama is actually God’s favorite. Seriously hard to stay classy and see that kind of goading. Again, you didn’t actually imply we all believe that, so don’t take it personally.
[/quote]
Oh I absolutely agree with you in that regard. Any implication you may have sensed only includes fundamentalist like Trib who poison the spiritual well. Most Catholics IMHO are by far the most rational element of Christianity. [/quote]Birds of a feather… the company you keep and all that.
The glorious prayer of Daniel the prophet, the 2nd chapter of his book, 20th -22nd verses:
[quote]"Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
to whom belong wisdom and might.
21 He changes times and seasons;
he removes kings and sets up kings;
he gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to those who have understanding;
22 he reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what is in the darkness,
and the light dwells with him.
23 To you, O God of my fathers,
I give thanks and praise,
for you have given me wisdom and might,[/quote]
There’s more, but it won’t matter to either one of you anyway. It wouldn’t have mattered if Romney won. This country is so clearly under the judgement of God. Nobody with an ounce of biblical knowledge could possibly doubt that.

Again, you like others haven’t been here since June. You have no idea how I see romney.
Yeah, I’m sure the markets are going to love the fact they now know they should lock in all their gains at 15% before 12/31.
enjoy that crash.

Holy fuck.
We elect 2 branches and they appoint the other.
Good christ.
The market has already priced in the possibility of capital gains changes.
Hilarious. It’s even funnier because it’s not Obama’s fault R-Money lost.
Well done to the Republican party - you gave the world four more years of Obama!
