Re: Rmoney and Ryawn: Bain & Pain Inc. (4.00 / 3)

Two rich white guys in the WH ... this will be a fun 8 years. Screw that female, non-white appeal to voters crap. Just steal the election in the half-dozen swing states and away we go.

I have a t-shirt with that on it. And whatever you do, DON'T BLINK!

Aaaaaahhhhhh America ... a choice between 2 white guys who declare in a no-nonsense fashion that they only care about the wealthy and will screw the rest of us ... and a black guy who PRETENDS to care about us and couldn't care less. Fantastic choice ... a totally broken system. Syria, anyone?

At least we've got a Supreme Court that reflects the demographics and social viewpoints of the population...

Yes because America is two-thirds male and one-third female, two-thirds Catholic and one-third Jewish, and 22% of Americans have Italian ancestors.

The choice is between Big Oil, Big Coal and Private Equity on the one hand and Big Wind, Big Teh Gay and Hedge Funds on the other.

The fact that the Obama administration is a profoundly conservative status quo administration does mean that the choice in terms of foreign policy and regulation of Wall Street is mostly window dressing, but that does not mean that the differences across the board are mostly window dressing ~ the differences in energy and transport policy are substantial and real.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

Here in Ohio, ... (4.00 / 4)

... the counties that went for McCain get extended early voting hours, and the counties that went for Obama didn't.

How did they manage that? A separate election board for each county, two Democrats and two Republicans each. In Republican counties, the Republicans and Democrats all voted for extended hours. In the Democratic countries, the Democrats voted for, the Republicans against. The Ohio State Secretary of State breaks deadlocks. He's a Republican elected in the Republican wave election of 2010, so he broke all the deadlocks against extending hours.

Re: Here in Ohio, ... (4.00 / 5)

And just as I report it, the decision is overturned ~ different times for the Republican and Democratic counties in the state was too much for even our State Secretary of State to defend, so instead they've gone to 8am-5pm weekdays the first three weeks of early voting, 8am-7pm weekdays the last two weeks, no weekend early voting. So rather than discriminatory voting hours, more restrictive voting hours than previously, but the same hours statewide.
