HOO HOO!

SLAINTE!! !

i think this is a good thing.

I'm so depressed. Four more years... God.. I'll be almost 25...

I'm not watching TV right now, but I hope Romney rips a page from the democrats playbook and refuses to concede without a recount due to so many super close races. Not just to double check, but it would also provide time to check the validity of absentee and provisional ballots.

If you can't beat them, then join them. Since the U.S. has voted for socialism (Communism), I guess we have no choice but to accept it. That means we all should go on the dole and get government checks. We will end up being stuck with the debt, so why not enjoy some of it while we can?

I'm going to apply for a "free" phone, see if I can get "free" health insurance," food stamps, and maybe housing stipends. Anyone who has studied history will know where the U.S.'s experiment with Socialism/Communism will end, but since this is what the nation as a whole wants, then I guess we should enjoy some of the temporary benefits.

The only races that currently seem close are Florida, Ohio, and Virginia (although Romney is almost certain to lose Ohio and probably Virginia too), and Obama doesn't even need ANY of those to win if he keeps his lead in Colorado.

Don't be ridiculous, Obama is far from being a socialist. Not all socialist are communist either. There won't be gulag or anything like that.

And where is this communism you speak of, we don't really have a socialist or communist system.

Hey Sweetleaf. Weed is legal in Washington now. Maybe you want to move here?

i'm twice your age and i had to live the majority of it in republican social darwinist hell. look on the bright side, at least the chances just got better that you will at least have affordable health care.

Actually we do. In Communism, the government controls the land and other private property. If you think you own your own land, try adding to or modifying it without government permission (permits, etc.) and try stopping annual payments to the government in order to be allowed to live on the land.

Under Socialism/Communism, wealth is stolen (taxed, fined, regulated, etc.) from those who produce it and is given it to those who do not produce it. In a free market system, people give wealth to those who need it instead of it being taken under threat of force. "From each according to his ability and to each according to his need" is the main slogan of Communism.

Also, under Socialism/Communism government mandates what and how much people can produce as well as what they buy. Obamacare does exactly that. Farmers, for example are told how much of many crops they are allowed to produce.
Under a free market system, farmers are allowed to produce as much of a product as they want. Demand determines the price.

For the other comment about Obama not being a Socialist/Communist, I disagree. He was mentored by Frank Marshal, a card carrying member of the Communist Party, U.S.A. Obamacare one of the hallmarks of Communism.

You can disagree and argue with me all you want, but history is on my side. You may win the argument, but the majority of the U.S. will be in poverty as a result of the experiment with Communism. I'm not just blaming Obama. Bush Jr., Bush Sr., and Bill Clinton had their hand in it as well. Most people who grew up in Communist Eastern Europe or Communist Asia will testify that what I say is true. Believe me or not, you will see it for yourselves in the next decade or two.

Communism has nothing to do with a government magically giving people "free goodies". It's about workers owning the means of production such that everyone earns the same share as what they produce. Under communism people who refuse to contribute their labor for the common good don't get to eat or get shipped to forced labor camps. In theory there were no free-loaders in the Soviet Union. In practice people came up with lies and excuses to get out of doing jobs they didn't want to do and the government lied or cooked the books to cover it up. I'm not defending communism here, just saying you're clueless.

My condolences to America, and to the world
If Romney had won I would have said the same thing.

Yeah, well ... Democracy might not be much better than Anarchy, but at least it's not as noisy.
