  • Vanity: THE GREAT EXPERIMENT IS OVER.

    Bambi has won as I write this as of 8:15pm PST. Romney doesn't have enough Electoral Votes to counter California's 55 EV's. It's a done deal. The Fedgov bureaucracy will increase; business regulations will increase; joblessness will increase; debt to our children will increase; corruption/secrecy will increase; energy independence will decrease; and on it will go. We are heading into a 2nd World nation. Let's shake hands with Greece and Spain as we join them into economical oblivion. Maybe Germany can bail us out. Pfft. What a great ride we had.

    Dems wanted to end the Electoral College. Romney wins popular vote it at least shows no mandate. Win was result of our quirky system. Four years of a lame duck President. Fight on!

    While we wait, I just wanted to postulate my own theory on why the rotund Garden State Governor was so effusive in his praise for the one. Fat man wants to run for President some day. Would rather wait four years than eight. Another four years of a failed Obama Presidency and the country will be clamoring for something different (if we survive). Christie can still give lip service to the "I am still voting for Romney" crap, while doing his best to make sure the Kenyan is reelected. Look at his convention speech--all about him., Barely mentioned Romney. Another...

    It is imperative that you to get out today to vote FOR ROMNEY/RYAN and AGAINST Obama/Biden. Here are two things you must consider: #1 Obama has been an abysmal failure and was hell bent on destroying our economy and democratic institutions of government despite the fact that he would have to face voters in today's re-election. Just think what he will do to you, your children and grandchildren's future in the next four years when he does NOT have to face the voters again! You’re finished. #2. Since the founding of our republic, nine (9) out of forty-three (almost 21%)...
  • Unprecedented Turnout in Woodbridge Virginia

    Vanity | 11/6/2012 | Kevin McCarthy
    I just returned from my local poll in Virginia. In all my years here (19), this turnout was largest BY FAR. The longest line I ever remember was around 75 people. . .today, it was at least 500 and over an hour wait. I pray to God that this bodes well for Romney. Today, we will discover whether or not the adage "Its the economy, stupid" has been replaced with a new one "It's the HANDOUT, stupid!"

  • The freaky Redskin rule

    11/06/2012 8:03:43 AM PST · by MNDude · 10 replies
    The Redskins Rule is a trend involving NFL games and United States presidential elections. Basically, there is a high correlation between the outcome of the last Washington Redskins home football game prior to the U.S. Presidential Election and the outcome of the election: when the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins the electoral vote for the White House; when the Redskins lose, the non-incumbent party wins. This coincidence has held true in every election since 1940, except for that of 2004! It got it right 16 times in a row. It's amazing if you think about the odds. Getting it...
  • Vigo County, IN Thread (Bellwether Watch)

    This county is a national bellwether. Its sided with the winner in all but two presidential elections since 1892. We'll see tonight who wins this pivotal county. It should tell us who'll win the White House. From Wikipedia: "The county is one of the best bellwether regions for voting U.S. presidential elections; it has voted for the winning candidate in every election since 1956 and in all but two elections since 1892. It continued the trend in 2008, voting for Illinois Senator Barack Obama by a 16-point margin. Holmes is part of Indiana's 8th congressional district, which is held by...

    If anyone has the right to avenge these past 4 years it is us. We are the ones whose livelihood, freedoms, and rights have been raided and ravished. We are the ones who have seen our property values decline and costs of food and gas rise. We are the ones beset by regulation after regulation. We are the ones voting simply to revenge the insanity, lies, and demagoguery of the Obama reign of terror. I am voting to avenge this nation’s sense of entitlement and politically correct culture. I stand today to restore my children’s rights to a debt free...

    The media-inspired polls have to be cooked. So many evidences are present that people are fed up with the lies of government, the polls can NOT be accurate. More than likely, the media wants the public to follow the election through their services so they can sell advertising. A close, controversial election provides viewership and sells ads. May a little simplistic, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Nevertheless, any other outcome than what I want and the other side cheated. That's going to be the cry anyway.
