The General Election for President, Barack Obama vs. John McCain

It feels like xmas morning, and I have a feeling that there's an Atari 2600 under the tree for me.

I gave a mental middle finger to George W. Bush this a.m. when I voted.

Anyone know where we can get live updates of the polls?

Same here man. I stopped to get some bagels for the office and am not sure if I'm being a socialist by spreading the wealth. Either way, Obama better fucking win this thing. I'm on some Phil Collins shit today and "been waiting for this moment for all my life."

Should we make an OGT?

My daughter has been excited about voting for a couple weeks. She was kind of disappointed that it's really just waiting in line to color in some dots. She still did it though. Took about a half hour at my polling place.

LOL. I was listening to the radio this morning and a guy called up with the socialist arguement. The host told him in fact the wealth is being redistributed upwards right now and of course the caller disagreed. He told the caller about the tax breaks the rich get that everyone else does not. Of course the caller did not accept that. The caller also didn't seem to care that the Post Office, Fire Department, Public Roads and all those other public services are socialistic items.

There is a big difference between Democratic socialism and Marxism.

Yep. It's too bad more people don't understand this.

[geerussell]

The difference between socialism and capitalism is 3% at the top tax bracket.

It's like they take pride in being ignorant.

I just think the whole socialist labeling game takes away from the essential debates themselves. Public vs. Private healthcare. What and how much we should invest on infrastructure. It's just unfortunate that so many people won't actually look at these issues for some misplaced fear on a term that's become more and more nebulous in its usage today.
