Should Obama be president?

Um voter fraud?

Its not fraud per-se, but it is frowned upon. This may vary between the States, but in the ones I have lived in, it is illegal to wear anything of a(political campaign) promotional nature at the Polls on polling day.The laws even exclude those running for office from entering the polling places except to cast their own votes. This man with the Obama hat (tho its not easy to make out in the pic) was in violation if he was in the polling place. As for the other fellow, last time I looked, it wasn’t illegal for a man to dress up funny, and stand in front of a building. (maybe foolish, juvenile, and silly, but not illegal)

the “funny man” was weaing the uniform of the white racists hating black panthers. remember ???

registering the dead is an old liberal trick. and they were hard at it again this year. the voting machines. punch in Romney you just voted for Obama. the system IS rigged

An idiot in a silly outfit is allowed to stand where he likes as long as he violates no laws while doing so. Although it may displease me to see this display of intimidation, there isn’t much of anything to be done about it unless the police can be convinced that a law has been broken.

“Liberal trick?” Most of the electronic voting machine companies such as Diebold are far more linked to the Republican party than they are the “liberals.” So basically, Romney didn’t lose because he was an awful candidate that managed to alienate a good portion of the electorate with incredibly stupid statements and completely inopportune times despite having a very vulnerable incumbent. And while idiots are standing outside polling places, do you really think that cost Romney votes?

And really?

Complain about Democrats if you want, but nobody is seriously charging any significant voter fraud in this one. Not even ardently delusional Republican believers like Karl Rove, not even Romney. So you don’t like Obama or Democrats, fine. But no one stole this election and everything pretty much went as polling indicated and it was an Electoral blowout. You really think voter fraud in Philadelphia really altered the election? Most there voted for Obama anyways and the state of Pennsylvania pretty much went blue across the board…

Voter fraud “a liberal trick”? I would have thought that it is a trick pulled by unscrupulous politicians in circumstances where they think they can get away with it. Ballot box stuffing is rife in many pseudo-democratic jurisdictions to this day, but I would have thought it is rare enough in most developed democracies now, what with computerised registers, electronic voting and other controls. Here in Ireland, we do not believe that there is any significant problem of this sort, but that may not always have been the case. In the past, multiple voting and the “graveyard vote” were said to be present as a result of the backward procedures of the time. Here, it has been associated with Republicans - no, not Mit’s lot, but the likes of Sinn Féin, the political wing of the IRA, and similar parties. In Border areas in particular, there was talk of getting out the mortuary vote, and cracks like “vote early, vote often”, associated with such political tendencies. And, however one might describe the Grizzlies, “liberal” is not a term I would ever have used.

As regards the man in the silly Obama hat - I would have thought that this was illegal, and I am surprised that nobody challenged it. I assume that he was a voter scrutineer, there himself to challenge dodgy would-be voters on behalf of the Obama campaign; do you have that system in the US ? Best regards, JR.

As some of the others have been saying. This question was already answered with one of the biggest polls of all time, the election.

Yes.

How funny. I guess Bush’s deficits - equal to ALL the previous deficits of all US administrations combined - is a good example of the Republican approach to budgeting. Listen up: the budget deficit is shrinking; employment is way up from Bush; the stock market is now double what it was under Bush; the housing market is well on its way to turning around; the TARP funds have been paid back with interest. I have a low tolerance for moronic comments by the haters who can’t tell a fact from navel lint. Poor Romney - he drank his own KoolAid and didn’t know it was spiked.

Not only did the best man win, the smartest man in the room won.

You partisan guys could start a Civil war though, go ahead! I don’t live there, but the world of terrorists and Russian and Chinese push on the UN would be very greatful!!!

They had one about one and half centuries ago, which led to the election of a black President now.

I doubt that another Civil War could advance matters much beyond that. :wink: :smiley:

good point!

I guess we’ll have to wait a while for the first black Belgian prime minister, or for the Walloons and the Flemish to become non-partisan, LOL!

Of course, there aren’t that many black fellow civilians over here to fill that gap, we missed the slavery era. Or our “colonial landmark” (appreciate the irony) Leopold II just kept them far away.
What we do have is a growing staff of politicians with Turkish and Moroccan roots.
And in case you missed it, our Prime Minister at the moment in in fact the son of Italian immigrants. There you go!
And we have marriage for homosexuals of course.
That will not happen shortly accross the Atlantic. Quite predictable :slight_smile:
Texas I see… will definitely be the last Mohican I guess. :slight_smile:

or for the Walloons and the Flemish to become non-partisan, LOL!

yeah, bull’s eye! :wink: but don’t get confused. It is - despite the small country we are - much more complicated. We have our fair share of partisans, but it is not that 1 on 1 battle as it is in the US. It’s more like 10 pitbulls in a pit. :lol: And in one way or another, the “spread” of pitbulls makes it damn soft living over here. Power of democracy works well. Even in Flanders alone, every envy politician keeps an eye on the other in such a egocentric way it becomes almost a beauty.
