That was set up as more of a State publicity thing (holding their primary earlier than other states). There was a big of a controversy with a bunch of states moving up their primaries this year, with Florida losing half of their delegates to the RNC for doing it without approval. Colorado basically splits between rural and urban when it comes to conservative / liberal; same as Virginia (with most of the urban liberals living in the to Washington DC suburbs of Northern Virginia). | ||

It's actually almost 3 million now, ~2.94 million ahead atm. Obama also got over 50% of the overall vote too, which is nice to see. | ||

They were posting about that "grave injustice" before any of the votes from the West Coast had been counted. Maybe they thought California would forget to vote or something, I don't know. | ||

That's just humans being humans though. Obviously many people were very passionate about these elections, and there's bad winners and losers all around. Butthurt just needs to flow out of people. | ||

Indoctrinating children is standard for this crowd, no? Force an opinion before they can possibly question you and get them for life. | ||

Maybe they thought California would forget to vote or something, I don't know. They don't understand you can win an election without 100% reporting it only takes 270 electoral college votes with 48 winner take all states it doesn't take alot. And calling a state only takes 50%+1 votes to win in not heavily contested areas that comes quickly. Maybe they also lack understanding of time zones and how the east coast has a 3 hour head-start on counting. | ||

Not strange at all. It's one of the strongest features of the fundamentalist group, they are able to indoctrinate their children and surround them with like-minded people so that they are unable to ever form their own opinions. During the 2008 election, I overheard my girlfriend-at-the-time's best friend's little brother, in response to an Obama ad piece running on the television, say "They call it the White House for a reason Obama." The boy couldn't have been older than 8 or 9. Children that age don't form those opinions on their own, they overhear them from their parents and siblings. | ||

To be completely fair, they made those statements that night before all the votes were counted. Granted, they made those statements that night before all the votes were counted. So yeah, still kinda stupid. | ||

Wow thats realy well done, they synched his lips with the text by putting the lips of the songer in but you can hardly see that lol. Funny song, think romney has spend quiet a bit of his own monney on the campaign as well, specially in the last days. Its an expensive hobby. Still bit sad he didnt win, i think he would have done way better then most people think. Obama isnt to bad either though. JonnyBNoHo November 09 2012 08:44. Posts 1502 Lol. They did kinda. both coasts ended up blue. European liberals all along, i knew it. | ||

Stop acting like it's just one group that does it, or it makes you look just as ignorant. I grew up in a very religious Christian family. I have two brothers: One of them is very liberal, one of them is very conservative, and I'm pretty much in the middle. Seems pretty fair to me. Meanwhile, I see other families who have parents that lean liberal that also force their views on their kids. Naturally, it must be fair to say that all liberal parents do so, right? | ||
