Blerhurhurhur fuck that. I had to deal with Bushitler's supporters' orgasms and poor sportage right after the 04 election. They have the fucking nerve to act like they're a bulwark against socialism after 8 years of corn-in-the-shit bullshiat. I have no god damn patience for them. FUCK THEM.

There is no fucking reason to spell it out in Ivy-league debate fashion. It's clear as piss after you had a litre of sweet nectar.
Yeah, whatever. This internet tough guy bullshit is as tooth-achingly annoying coming from the Democrats as it was coming from the Republicans. Whatever happened to being better than the other guy?

We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

I'm too happy to gloat. It feels like we're a democracy again. Like, after eight years, America is back.

Congratulations President Obama! I'm focusing my attention on the Minnesota Senate race now. That should be the most interesting race tonight.

I'm in it for the Colorado results. And the final speeches. Obama better give a great one.

And McCain sure as fuck better concede gracefully.

Dailykos is posting that the polling sites in California are pretty much deserted, which is to be expected as the race is over. I just hope it doesn't hurt the "No on Prop 8" crowd.

Would hate to see Prop 8 get through just because Obama is winning big.

It's undecided on their online map, Obama's up 56%. Wasn't that just the "what if" map that had it marked blue?

Which is great, really. You can prove you're as much of a raging tool as the worst those you despise; that's absolutely what we need right now. It'll be glorious you can be a colossal ass and drive help drive away those pesky flip-floppers. If you're lucky, you can out-Bush the Republicans! Fan-fucking-tastic!

Seriously though, if idiots like you start pushing for payback and generally act like condescending asses that's the fastest way to flush this whole thing down the toilet. Even with the havoc wrought by Bush on the Republicans, the conservative sentiment in America is pretty damn strong. If the Democrats don't do a good job of governing for the whole of America, not just those that voted with them, then they're going to lose and fast.

Yeah, that would suck.

I'm being reminded tonight of four years earlier, of how tense and excited and hopeful I was that Kerry would oust Bush. At this point, I have every faith in Obama based on the current scope of the polls, but I'm still worried about Prop 8 passing, so we'll see.

Oh stop being an ass. Obama's message is supposed to be about unity, not abusing the other guy. I'm all for the occasional republican mocking, and I understand the race has become boring to watch, but this is stupid.

The news is reporting on how Orange County has hardly turned out to vote. I know that they're strongly Republican and pro prop 8, so I'm hoping this lowers the pro sides numbers.

And what utter woe to the vanquished indeed. The conservative movement has just been castrated and it'll take them another 10-15 years at minimum to rebuild everything they've lost. Now, can we please start addressing health care and energy and remove the bullshit blocking stem cell and other science policies?

Golly gee! That's swell! Yeah, we're just as bad as those fuckers who want to drive gays and funny colored people into the ground. Yeah, I'm so much more an asshole than the Prop 8 sweethearts.

I want to see these quaint fuckers CRUSHED underneath our feet, offering only enough resistance to keep America from turning into commietown. Otherwise fuck em.

He has to say that in public. What I bet he really desires is ramming his manhood up some conservative ass.

You think McCain doesn't secretly want to fart in a democrat's face?
