[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;38278140]If Romney wins, FP will be full of headlines insisting Romney didn't win legally, that broad GOP conspiracy discarded votes, that Romney-Koch-Limbaugh-Bain-HIG voting machine company "owned" by "people" who "trace" back to "Romney" fucked with electronic voting machines, etc. Just like the people who insist Obama isn't President because he wasn't born in America. :v:[/QUOTE] It's cool to have a theory which cannot be proven wrong because one of it's conditions (a Romney win) will never come to be.

If I were American I would definitely vote for Obama; anything to save the Earth from the Inquisition that this creature of chaos would surely weave within his first term.

Like several days afterwards.
Sometimes I just want to take a look into the "Romney future" and see how things went. I'd really find it far more interesting than with Obama, even if it would end bad.
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;38277953]Hey broheim, 'believing in things' is not the same thing as 'bias'. Polling averages done with tested methodologies like 538 are calling an Obama win. Believing that Obama will win isn't 'bias'.[/QUOTE] I'm not talking about this in particular, I know Obama currently has a higher chance of winning. What I mean is that FP is so biased it's bordering on disgusting. I'm further left than Obama is, but extreme bias is just obnoxious.
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;38277785]hmm yes [IMG]http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr97/tyke_bike_mike/gifs/balekermitnod.gif[/IMG] excellent point[/QUOTE] I know this is off topic, but I can't help but be reminded of the "No, I'M the Batman!" image by this gif.

I'm further left than Obama is, but extreme bias is just obnoxious.[/QUOTE] Once again the point that the US is on average far more right that the rest of the world while facepunch is a relatively globalized community comes up. That explains a large portion of it, and it's not like bullshit doesn't get called on either side. It just happens to generally be from the right wing, because guess what: the religious nutjobs are almost universally republicans.
[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;38277466]If it was bias the other way, I doubt it would raise any concern here...[/QUOTE] Reality has a liberal bias
Glaber Thread do not take it seriously
Are they seriously suggesting that the GOP has majority support? They're the ones who are always trying to disenfranchise people!

Guess we'll see, but I'm predicting another term for Obama. Either way, I'll be at the polls this Tuesday.
[QUOTE=Van-man;38277961]Didn't he downright tank the blooming economy caused by Clinton?[/QUOTE] Not really, it happened as Clinton was leaving his office. The dot-com bubble bro.
[QUOTE=IKTM;38279379]Are they seriously suggesting that the GOP has majority support? They're the ones who are always trying to disenfranchise people![/QUOTE]That's because the people they are trying to disenfranchise are people who don't like them.
[QUOTE=Jax Strife;38276905]I really hope not. Romney makes me nervous. Nervous because I don't know what he's going to do once he's in office. He doesn't reveal a lot of things and he flips back and forth between a ton of policies. We know what Obama's plans are for his presidency. Also Romney's stare makes me uncomfortable.[/QUOTE] Obama campaigned in 2008 on not being George Bush, then continued all his policies. I don't think Obama is that great of an option, either...

no thisispain you've got it all wrong, not having personal beliefs is good because
[QUOTE=Ridge;38279770]Obama campaigned in 2008 on not being George Bush, then continued all his policies. I don't think Obama is that great of an option, either...[/QUOTE] Continued them in the sense that he was literally incapable of ending all of them even if he wanted to, I suppose. At best, he on his own could have issued more executive orders and ordered an immediate withdrawal from Iraq in 2009, but other than that I'm not sure what a statement like that could hope to mean considering the fact that 'continuing his policies' depended on Congress.
These hidden votes are probably going to be vote fraud by the rich CEO bastards. Look at my thread, a firm just bought the 3rd biggest voter machine company and is entirely pro romney. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1222752[/url]
