"A black sheriff?!": The Official Topic of Obama and New Era American Politics

TIME FOR NEW REPUBLICAN CARTOONS



How will these cartoonists react if the Democrats win or still have an adequate amount of seats?

<--- liberals

[Dickie Dee]

Rubio won with 50%, guess it didn't matter that the other vote was split.

[Stoney Mason]

Rubio won with 50%, guess it didn't matter that the other vote was split.

Yeah unfortunately it was obvious this was going to happen. Meeks should have dropped out and the Dems should have supported Crist a long time ago. But Dems are stupid. Rubio winning so easily probably also dragged down other dems in the other elections in the state.

I voted for Meeks anyway.

[siamesedreamer]

What's up mother fuckers? First round is on me!

[Tristam]

I remember there was some topic on GAF in which the OP wondered whether political fandom exists for people who don't get their fill of fandom from sports alone.

Exhibit A: siamesedreamer.

[Human Snorenado]

Yes sd, let's by all means celebrate the provably insane being elected.  Good call.

[siamesedreamer]

Political fandom? Didn't even vote today. 

Actually somewhat disappointed Grayson lost. Dude was seemingly the only one with the balls to take on the banks/Fed.

[Human Snorenado]

sd- do you support the impending impeachment of the President?

[Human Snorenado]

Yup, CNN projecting the GOP will take the House.

Also, they've won 3 Senate seats now- IN, AR, and now ND.  Dems are up in Pennsylvania and Illinois but it's early and those leads are eroding.  My guess is they'll lose those seats as well.

[Mr. Gundam]

Yay. Nothing will get done.

There's something wrong with our political system when the head of Republican party says that their number one goal is to make sure Obama isn't re-elected. Shouldn't your number one goal be working for the people? SMH x infinite.

[Mr. Gundam]

Canada, man. Canada. They don't decapitate you up there, plus you can get gay married, smoke pot and eat all the codeine covered Tylenol you want.

The worst part of all this is that the Republicans have generally polled LOWER than the democrats, and yet for some warped reason are STILL gonna get rewarded. Fuck this country. Hopefully global warming will accelerate enough that living in Canada would be bearable.

Phoenix Dark Wrote this some other place but was so darn funny... I had to post it somewhere I was not banned so i could reply.

Nancy Pelosi fought the good fight as speaker, and will go down in history as one of the most effective house leaders. I always liked her, but my appreciation for her skyrocketed during the health care fight. Amazing woman.

The same amazing woman that called raids by ICE, which is following laws established by Congress, "un-American."

  

So young, yet easily entranced by the succubus.

[Boogie]

Mexico. really.  You border two countries and you choose Mexico.  Smh.

Also:  gtfo, SD.

With Republicans in control? No problem!

[Mr. Gundam]

I take it the new people/lurkers in the thread got banned at GAF or something.

Ah yes, the old Liberal, do as I say no as I do mantra. Point finger at enemy and back away.

[Bocsius]

Ah, bottled water in Washington. Good thing we've elected a bunch of tea party people to make sure that never happens again.

[bdoughty]

People get banned at GAF? Why they seem like a fair and balanced moderating team.

[bdoughty]

They are not the ones crying the environmental wolf. 

[Human Snorenado]

Sestak just miiiiiiight be able to pull out a squeaker in PA- he's still over 54% (about 100k votes) with 64% of the vote in.

Illinois is a lost cause- dude is already under 50% with 54% of the vote in.  Lead of just about 84k votes.  I bet he ends up losing by about 25k votes, maybe more.

[Bocsius]

Right. It's simply not possible that, I don't know, there are recycle bins in the vicinity.

[AdmiralViscen]

It's especially bad considering it is impossible to recycle plastic.

Everyone should click the link btw, it is very helpful

Millions of dollars have gone toward funding for Nancy Pelosi’s office, printing “important” documents like the new Obamacare health care plan, student loan repayments (a benefit of working for the government), pension costs for retired congressional members, office supplies, electricity, food and tap water.

[bdoughty]

Sure we would hate to lose a "green job" in this economy. Kudos. 

[Human Snorenado]

Jesus Christ, as soon as I type that Sestak is down to not even up 70k votes with 69% in.  Maybe Bennett can hold on in Colorado?  Looking shitty now.

[Oblivion]

So, seems Vitter won. What does it fucking take?

Here is one for my buddy Phoenix.

Since Democrat Nancy Pelosi took over the position of Speaker of the House in January 2007, funding for her office soared 62 percent, from $2.9 million to $4.7 million. For a single office?!

ooops not a liberal friendly site so it is all bunk. I know, I know bad conservative poster.

[siamesedreamer]

sd- do you support the impending impeachment of the President?

Over what?

[Human Snorenado]

Over what?

Doesn't matter... birth certificate, failure to investigate New Black Panther Party voter intimidation, governing while black, "Obamacare"... they'll think of something.  And impeach him over it.  Guaranteed.

[Oblivion]

bdoughty, why have you never posted in this thread before today?

[Bocsius]

Being Kenyan, obviously.

[Bocsius]

I'm not saying I like Democrats, I just like the Republicans less. Don't trust them in the least.

Still a registered Republican, the last guy I pulled the lever for was W.

bdoughty, why have you never posted in this thread before today?

To be perfectly honest, I have not posted anywhere (except for one site where I have a few close friends) in quite a while. [Insert Sad Story]  I spent Christmas on a ventilator, roughly 7-10 days allowing me to live long enough to find out a I have one of those really rare diseases - Wegener's granulomatosis. [done with sad story]


I was skimming GAF and saw PD post and just felt the need to reply. I have always liked PD and just wanted to raz him a little.  

[Bocsius]

I saw that episode of House. Glad you made it.

You're still backing some nutjobs, though.

[bdoughty]

I seem to recall that episode of House (I think there have been a couple)  where they were diagnosed with Wegeners but ended being something else.  In fact I think one was the black politician (how ironic).

Anyway I am not a Tea Party guy or a hard line conservative.  I just side with more things on that side of the political line.

[Stoney Mason]

It is what it is.

Obviously I'm liberal but some nights the other side has a good night. I won't lose any sleep over it despite thinking all these tea party people are just awful at worst and hypocrites at best.

The older you get the more philosophical you get about the whole thing. (although I get annoyed by people who get dispirited and just lapse into not caring)

It's a revolving circle. You just try to make it revolve back to the philosophies and viewpoints you agree with most.

[Mr. Gundam]

Yeah, I see it a lot like you, Stoney.

It also helps that I live in the liberal bastion known as Seattle.

[Stoney Mason]

Yeah, I see it a lot like you, Stoney.

It also helps that I live in the liberal bastion known as Seattle.

Yeah when I lived in Cali, I really didn't care at all. Because its like the mecca of liberal. All those Sarah Palin types have no real pull and influence out there. So whatever they say and do it doesn't really effect the culture. It's a bit more discouraging now that I live down South where those viewpoints are a lot more common but what are you gonna do...

Good way of looking at things, Stoney. I'm just glad that Bishop is on track to defeat Altschuler in my district... and my picks for governor and both senators won. Surprised to see that Carolyn McCarthy in my gf's district is behind in the polls right now, I thought she'd be on track to win. Oh well...

So now it's time to see what happens when the looneys run the show in the House.

[Akala]

everyone I work with was voting vitter and it's making me apathetic to the whole shebang.

[Dickie Dee]

Feingold

[Oblivion]

Wooo! Brown and Boxer both won! FUCK YEAH!

[Phoenix Dark]

Definitely sucks seeing Russ Feingold and Tom Perriello go down. Not gonna cry over Alan Grayson though

[Oblivion]

FUCK FUCK FUCK

It's not official. Fiorina is leading by 3 points. (only 9% of the votes tho, but STILL!)

[ShogunOfFear]

Pelosi gone at last.   

[Phoenix Dark]

I can't believe dems lost Obama's Ill seat 

[Human Snorenado]

Yup, gonna lose Illinois and Pennsylvania.  Sucks.  Bennet still holding on in Colorado, don't know if the crazy part of the state (Colorado Springs) has reported yet tho.  Hopefully Murray and Bennet can win; and even if Reid manages to win I hope he loses his Leadership gig.  Actually, probably wouldn't mind new Leadership in both houses for the Dems.  Get that Rent Is Too Damn High guy a seat and make him minority leader.

[recursivelyenumerable]

The David Broder thing scares the shit out of me. Maybe not that exact scenario, but I was already afraid that if the slump continues, (and it will,) the only acceptable way "out" of it will be into some bullshit foreign mass murder excursion. Maybe after the Presidency gets flipped in '12, or hell maybe they will manage to drag Obama into it.

[Mandark]

Got back from the Wizards game.  Someone be so good as to summarize the damage for me.

[Phoenix Dark]

Strickland lost.

yea...Obama is fucked

[Mandark]

Oh shit I'm psychic or other people are predictable.

[Human Snorenado]

...aaaand Bennet is down to a 6,000 vote lead now.  He's fucked.

Mandark- Dems lost the House.  We lost AR, IN, ND, and WI for sure in the Senate; we're in the process of losing PA, IL and now probably CO and who knows, maybe WA and NV too.

bdoughty and siamesedreamer showed up to gloat.  Their posts were predictable and boring.
