McCain Takes Nebraska But Electoral Votes May Be Split
KETV ^ | 11.05.08

Posted on 11/05/2008 9:31:16 AM PST by Perdogg

Everybody knows Barack Obama will be the next president, but it might be a week before they find out whether he won one of five electoral votes from Nebraska.

Republican John McCain had a 569-vote lead over Obama in the state's 2nd Congressional District early Wednesday. The number of votes it takes to force a recount is based on a formula that takes 1 percent of the top vote-getter.

If the tally stands, a recount would occur if the final margin is less than about 1,260 votes, because McCain had 126,303 votes.

Each state has always been free to do what they'd like with their own electoral votes. The government of the state answers only to their own citizens on the issue.

Freakin stupid liberal turds. I am a Nebraskan, and this news makes me sick. I literally have vomit in my mouth reading your post.

What counties make up that district?

I think we all must examine, on a county by county basis, every area that went for Obama. Then those areas need to be punished without mercy. Do not give any business to them. Do not patronize their establishments. Move all business out of those areas, right down to the last gas station and coffee shop.

Moreover, keep them from migrating into red counties: those Real Estate agents who are on our side should find creative ways to prevent the traitors from selling or buying homes. The Obamatrons will then be stuck in their dying enclaves, denied all services, or at the very least being greatly inconvenienced to drive long distances, and unable to move out. Joe the Plumber needs to act here too. If you are a tradesman, and know your inquirer is an Obamabot, refuse to take the business.

We ourselves must leave every area infested with the Obama blight. Move. Get your children out of their reach. Home school your children. Sacrifice whatever you must. If you have older sons and daughters in colleges that are indoctrination camps for the Obamanation... take them out. Why fund the moral destruction of your posterity?

Boycott the MSM, the Press and Hollywood. Don’t subscribe to their magazines, don’t purchase their videos, DVDs, etc. Boycott the entertainment industry all together. Boycott the theaters. STOP FEEDING THE MONSTER. Phone or write CEO’s of those companies that do business with these putrid barbarians, and tell them you are refusing to give them patronage as long as they are affiliated in any way with Obama’s crowd.

We must be brutal, as cold-hearted and as merciless as is humanly possible to these b**tards. If one of theirs comes to your area, and has an Obama sticker on their vehicle, then refuse them service. Find a reason to disenfranchise these people from as much comfort as is humanly possible.

Stab the Obamabots in the back at every opportunity. Forget civility. Forget fairness. These traitors are not Americans… they are the enemies of liberty, justice and the common good. I do not care they be your friends, family members, neighbors, business partners or whatever. They must be utterly crushed, because they will never be reformed. Excepting some of the young, whom must be excused the flaw of their naivety, the remainder is incorrigible and deserving only of spite.

THIS IS WAR. THIS IS ALL OUT WAR. THIS IS A FIGHT TO THE DEATH! SCREW THEM... ECONOMICALLY BURY THEM.

I realize that. I find it hard to believe that he would win one of Nebraska’s CDs.

Thanks, that really made me laugh. I'll admit I laughed in a "black humor" kind of way (What's next: "Bill Ayers named Secretary of Defense"?) but I laughed nonetheless. Oh well, just remember: it's always darkest just before... it goes pitch black.

Isn't NE the state that gave us Hagel?

Hagel just got replaced by a better (I hope) Conservative. This sucks anyway.

I think I am correct then I say that Nebraska's Second Congressional District comprise Douglas County and a part of Sarpy County.

Have a Guiness Extra Stout for me! I got another 2 hours to go before I can hit the local tavern.
