And Here We Go: Presidential Election Day 2012

Who is this Joe Soptic guy? Is he a plumber?

SEptic, this guy is SOptic.

[Sylesya]

Well, she still has the The Rachel Maddow Show.

Yes, a punditry show. Not news. Just like no one is complaining about Rush Limbaugh, who also has a show, being the news. Because he's not and he's not claiming he is. FOX News programs are masquerading as news.

But Rush isn't on FOX. Chris Matthews is on MSNBC, and MSNBC claims to be a source of news. Point?

[Jocabia]

I sincerely hope the Republicans lose tonight so the sane members will get off their collective asses and do something about the teabagging douchebags that have hijacked the party.

Election day doesn't mean you can go off on the trollish political nicknaming. You're welcome to dislike the Tea Party, however things like the bolded are not cool. Knock it off, lest you find yourself on the business end of a banhammer.

Sure, but there is no proper name for a faction which calls itself a "party". Would "Tea Partisans" be acceptable?

Who is this Joe Soptic guy? Is he a plumber?

Dude in a Bain themed election ad, rather than face the stark realities of his situation and how the policies of the various candidates could address the situation, the Romney campaign decided to shout "NOT IT!" really loud and quickly by playing a semantic shell game to make sure that technically their candidate wasn't directly involved.

Just one of the many poor reactions that sank the Romney campaign faster than anything the opposition could have hoped for.

You get it. I wouldn't send my kids to school with a name like that though. I'd marry someone just to change it.

I hope he's not a candidate for anything or I might be verging on the offense of Nicknaming ...

Did they say "1, 2, 3," and put their finger on their nose?

MSNBC isn't claiming to not have pundits. Even CNN doesn't claim to not have pundits. The complaint is that FOX News has pundits or that the pundits support one another. The complaint is that FOX News is not a reliable news source. They aren't. They, in fact, get caught lying a lot, because they want to support their bias. Their owner attacked a Republican for being too nice to Democrats during hurricane cleanup. Their pundits are regularly caught straight out lying. Not wrong. Not biased. Lying.

Yeah. The problem is when the moniker is clearly intended to be insulting and provocative. "Teabagger," as amusing as that joke was over a year ago, is clearly meant to be incendiary. Something like 'Tea Partisans" or just "Tea Partiers" lacks that additional connotation.

Thanks CTOAN. I have the happy privilege of not seeing any television ads ... if I lived in the US I'd have used Elvis's Remote by now.

[Jocabia]

I just checked and Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and North Carolina are 0% in. Details to follow.

Just throwin' it out there, they sort of accidentally coined it with their "teabag Washington" campaign. Though it's alright, it's not important to use amusing nicknames, it's important to vote.

CNN just now put the 2012 Election Result map on their website, which I got up on one tab.

I wish they'd let me view their TV coverage online. :|

There is a serious lack of a certain parachute-pantsed MC in that link.

Anyhow, here we are again. Presidential election. I wonder if anyone is going to cry this time around, because I seem to remember someone crying in 2008 (in joy). Either way, we won't know jack until what, 5 PM?
Time to hurry up and wait I suppose.

My mom said "cracker boxes". Pay attention.

I got warned for doing almost exactly the same thing to Gravlen on the old forum. I figured I'd make sure they get that you're joking. Plus, some mods like it when we poke them.

I really don't want Reppy's hammer to hit me too, but I sorta gotta say it dude, in the nicest possible way: you are like, 50% of this thread's posts and .000000001% of this thread's substance.

I hope mitt Romney wins the election so we can Finally get back our Economy and help trade with Latin America .
