No tears today.  Pretty bummed out and deeply concerned about the direction the country is headed.

I hope Obama can prove me wrong and right the ship.

The demographics of our nation are changing so rapidly that I don't have a lot of confidence that the Republican party can continue as they are. 

I'm also very concerned about an Obama that doesn't have to worry about being reelected. 😨

See you all in 4 years, or in the other gt forums , or maybe here if Obama goes nuts and spends us even more into a shithole.

Thanks for the link Gellar, interesting indeed:)

Indeed, just the hat.🈹

A dodge??  Really??

Holy hell you all continue to amaze.

I picture hep airing in front of a pentium 2 computer wearing one of those spinning helicopter hats.


I

Lol, you're a trip.

FYI I work in two branches where I'm the only Caucasian.

Tuesday can't come soon enough.

Sickening that you left out the fact that we were attacked on our soil...

I do think Obama is worse than Bush, absolutely, and I don't even think Bush was a very good president either.

Hep, keeping to the play book I see.

For one, you wouldn't even be allowed in the same room with me when discussing your delusional ass"knowledge" of economics.  LOL, I almost spilled my drink when I read that, pussy cat.

Race was brought up twice in my post.   Let me help you with the reasoning behind it.

1) Obama's mentors have been quoted multiple times talking about white people.  As recently as this week the pastor that gave the benediction at his inauguration said whites are going to hell.  I won't bother bringing "Reverend" Wright up...

2). I don't have a racist bone in my body.

I have spoken with multiple African Americans that cannot give me any other reason for voting for him other than his race.  If you don't think that is widespread, your more delusional than I thought.

I don't even know wtf else you said and you deserve no further response,  insinuating that I'm racist now?  Picture Perfect Democrat Playbook.

The scary part is that I haven't even scratched the surface of the surface...

Romney gets my vote because:

I'm starting with social issues, which obviously are the most controversial, and believe it or not I'm the most understanding of the opposing view point.

He is pro-life
He is against gay marriage;  please note, I do not believe gay partners should be prohibited from receiving the same benefits married couples receive in regard to taxes, insurance etc.  From a purely religious stand point however, I believe "marriage" is between a man and a woman and I ask you to please let this go, as it is not worth discussing further than this.


In addition, Obama has illustrated through the past 4 years that he is a huge proponent of big, enormous government.

He also buys into the bullshit of the top 1%, which is just that, bullshit.   If you would like further clarification on this issue, I'm certain a local community college in your area offers remedial math at a pretty decent cost.

His mentors are definitive socialists, and some are straight up racist in addition to being socialists.  This is factual, and while I'm sure you're going to yell for links, I urge you to do your on research because if you're questioning this you obviously have not done so.

He has increased the debt over $5 trillion in 4 years.  Honestly, I could have just said that and stopped and it would have been more than sufficient evidence to get this fool out of office.

He has attempted to institute the most costly healthcare program in our history, without congressional consent.  This country cannot come close to affording this asinine plan.  He lied about the taxes related to obamacare and he pushed it through congress without a vote.  He hasn't passed a freaking budget...

I could literally go on all night, but I'm waiting on takeout at PF Changs and it looks like they're coming.

Worst, most unqualified president in my 31 years on this earth and I will never comprehend how a reasonable person regardless of their political affiliation cannot see this.

Hopefully, going forward, our candidates, regardless of party affiliation, will be fully vetted, because it is BLATANTLY obvious that the media vetting process of this loon was not completed, maybe due to his race or his command of the podium (when a TelePrompter is present of course), whatever the reason, he was not properly vetted and I'm hopeful America will consider it "lesson learned."

That is all, time to eat.

However I've never been more concerned about our country than I am now and believe with all my heart if you can't cut through all the crap and realize how much of a failure this community organizer, unqualified shill, we as a country voted into office has been than you really need to step back and reexamine things.

I completely get the social issue disagreements and understand how someone could be pro-choice et al, but this election is so much bigger than those issues.

I have nothing but love for you - Tu PAC

Go vote Tuesday even if you have to ride the short bus to get there 😉

I'm thankful for Gaming Trend and enjoy participating in discussions here.  Despite everything that has gone on here, I don't think any of you are ignorant or any of that.  I know Hepcat was joking a lot of the time and I'd happily play him in whatever game we are playing nowadays ( I really only play FIFA now though).


I am, however, extremely concerned about the direction this country is going and Obama has compounded this worry exponentially.  I've never been a Romney fanboy, or anything like one, and prior to August supported him with the idea "lesser of too evils".  Now, however I feel he is 100% more qualified and ready to lead this country out of the mess we are in (caused by republican and democrat alike, they're all incompetent, 3 day workweek fools), than this inept, clueless, verging very closely on socialist idiot we have in office now.

I've had fun, and been annoyed both the past however long we've discussed this. 

I realize my tone may have changed midway through the "discussion" and i typically refrain from even getting into these types of discussions online because they're pretty pointless, as ATB said.

Do you think he is trying?  This boat sank the minute Carrot Top laid finger to keyboard.

And, despite the direction this thread has taken and the give/take that has occurred, I do not consider anyone here to be part of the "idiot" Obama supporter group.

I've been hanging out here since the GG days, and back then we didn't have a R&P forum.

Luck of the draw I guess.

It is an inane issue.  Doesn't mean there is no truth in it.

I almost edited to include the clarification that both sides should be tested.

Obama's side just has more that wouldn't qualify.

Rick, it does not apply to any of those.

I said I Kid, sort of, only because I think there is a larger percentage of Obama supporters that really should be tested in some way before voting.  Controversial obviously, and I realize and respect why  that will never happen. Still though, after watching and listening to many interviews of Obama supporters this past year the thought entered my mind for the first time.

Similar to the time I was almost hit head on by a 90 yo lady going the wrong way on a one way street.  Elderly people should really be tested occasionally after a certain point to determine whether they're capable of driving safely.  If I were 80, I'd want to be tested .

I disagree with Obama on almost everything.  Anyway, this is silly and I've said numerous times policy discussions with your type are even more pointless.

You think me doing nothing more than voicing my opinion makes me a joke, and I think you're a total joke because of your opinion.  Stalemate.

I'm optimistic obviously, but it's too close for comfort.

This thread actually perfectly illustrates the liberal mentality that I find so nauseating and the only impact it'll have only impact on my life is reinforcing my belief that the we are royally screwed if your type are given more control.  Hep's posts in this thread are a perfect model of the democrat playbook that has plagued our country for years.

We have a fundamental disagreement, in that I believe if you or anyone label Obama as anything but an epic failure you probably ought to be tested before being allowed to vote. (I kid, sort of)

That is all.  Start your spinning now.

And the only reason it continued was a select few's insistence on going on a tangent regarding the polls I focus on.

You've obviously not been following the thread too much.

Fair effort though.

Hetz and someone else did earlier, which started the word vomit from everyone else.

Thanks for the link, which further proves my point that this race is "in the bag"for neither candidate.

Obama used to lead in all polls in Ohio, outside the margin of error.  Now he is down in one, and within the margin of error in nearly all the others.  That is encouraging.

I don't have the patience to get into policy debates with Liberals I so vehemently disagree with on an online web forum. 

I do have the patience to point out to those same liberals that maybe they shouldn't feel quiet as confident in the election results.

Trolling, wow.

All your (and your cronies), "posts" directed at me regarding this were entirely refuted and your modus operandi illustrated.

Following the script to a tee I see.

Divert
Insult (the fact they're such petty insults makes it even more pitch perfect)

I must say that the mood of this forum increases my hope that this trend will continue.

Oh that's wonderful gellar really, but so incredibly not in the ballpark.

Quotes:

"Looks to me like Romney's momentum is continuing"

It has clearly continued since the first debate.

"He has drawn even in Ohio"

He has drawn even and is ahead in some pools.  This  Illustrates the point made above regarding Romney's momentum, in case your having trouble following.

Quote regarding lead amongst Independents
Romneys  "momentum" has led to a shift in independent support with Romney leading in many polls.

The fallacy quote is true.  My opinion of course.

The attempted diversion from the main point (Romney's Momentum), says all I need to know about you all.

"Facts mean nothing to you"

You live in a dream world.  Using any reputable poll as an argument that the election is not in the bag for a candidate is an appropriate refute.  The only polls I've quoted from or referred to are RCP (which you all adore), Gallup and Rasmussen. 

Your attempt at spinning the argument is silly.

Lol, just quoting you, never been one for  the term, especially in a situation where it's use is blatantly false.

Trying hard today gell?

It's simple.  I rarely visit poll sites from any other referrer outside of Drudge, Gamingtrend, and Twitter.  I
The methodology each poll uses is of no concern to me. They're irrelevant to me.  Prior to you all's commitment of focusing on poling methodology and which polls I look at, I gave them little thought.  I could care less about Nate Silver or whoever else.  Historically I've used polls to gauge  momentum or shifts.  This,conversation started because I posted in response to the idea that Obama has some big lead, I posted proof that things have shifted drastically. Are there still polls with O leading?  Of course, but my point that started this sideshow discussion garbage, was and still is accurate.  Anyone that thinks this is in the bag for either candidate is delusional.

"FTFW"

Another of your delusions.  Your ridiculous conclusion was accurately refuted.  Your school boy response further proves the accuracy.

Calvera, you said it win a decent amount of conviction bit you're wrong which isn't really new.

Try again.

2 Points that may clear it up for you

I rarely visit RCP, I visited it for the first time ever when Romney took the lead in  the Electoral College.  That started your word vomit about RCPs no swing electoral college poll, which lead to an attempt at wit on your part.

Secondly, on one hand you all spout nonsensical gibberish accusing me of focussing too much on national polls and how superior sites like RCP are and the other you state that I'm some how a diehard fan of RCP.  Can't have it both ways.

Tons of snow with this monster too, as far south as NE Tn to receive up to 2 feet 😳

First of all your link goes to RCP, which I rarely visit.

Romney is up in Ohio on the latest Rasmussen poll.

Guess it isn't all about Ohio now eh? LOL

Thoughts and prayers with any of you in the path of this monster.

Latest info on this thing is mind blowing.

I actually look at Rasmussen most often.

Ranked in the top for accuracy in 2008, logical choice

I've actually never been there.

AA I've missed you.  That is all, nothing more, nothing less.
