AlexH. Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 loved obama's speech. if bachmann would lose (currently up 1500 votes with 25% of the district remaining) and if romney would have shed a tear and started sparking, then this night would have been pretty much perfect *720 votes with 21% remaining.

adamlikesmusic Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 While Bachmann's seat is still up in the air, Allen West was voted out, which is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac1 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Although I am in the minority here and disappointed. Did the D's and R's just spend $2 Billion dollars and nothing changed except a few faces and name plates? The D's still have the WH and Senate while the R's still hold the House. Everything is exactly the same as yesterday. Oh well. I expect nothing but more "unexpected" results for the next 4 years to complete America's lost decade (2006-2016).

GradedOnACurve Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Something like 97% of elections are won by the candidate who spends the most money. You have to be a utter and complete Sarah Palin-esc idiot to fail so miserably. Actually this says she outspent 12 to 1. http://www.huffingto...=elections-2012 Funny thing is Linda McMahon spent $91(!!) million dollars for TWO (!!) failed Senate bids in CT. In the NYC tri-state area we got a ton of Linda McMahon commercials. Thats a whole lotta money spent on losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he lost, thank fucking god, im not 100% that he outspent his opponent, but I am pretty sure he did. Boehner has already said he wont raise taxes in the house. what a fucking tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selfreliable Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Holy shit, It passed!!!! Fucking amazing that we are the first state that voters are allowing gay marriage. This was really the only thing I cared for in the election and so excited to see civil liberties upheld. controlthebleeding, GradedOnACurve, hudsoncomplex and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emo Revival Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 This is gonna be a long post so bare with me. As a member of the 47% Romney hates because I do not make enough money to pay tax, I'm proud of this country. (Yes I realize having a vinyl collection while not making enough to pay tax is ridiculous, but they don't tax interest I make on investments, that pays for my collection, which Obama wants to change and I support). As someone who also cannot afford healthcare and has to stay on his parents for the next few years, I'm also proud. As a person that thinks everyone should be equal regardless of gender, race, or sexual preference, I think we made the right decision. As a man dating a woman, I'm all for women's reproductive rights being out of the hands of their employers. As an immigrant I'm happy that self deportation is no longer an issue. As a student I don't believe I should be drowning in debt so that I can have a education and level the playing field. I'm very proud of the way this country voted last night, and I know the rest of the world is with us rather than laughing at us for it. This election meant a lot to me because of the personal impact of the topics, so thank you to everyone that voted Obama, I owe you one. rudeboydh and sjb2k1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 As a student I don't believe I should be drowning in debt so that I can have a education and level the playing field. This fucking kills me inside. If you don't want to be drowning in debt there is one simple solution: don't take out a loan. The institution of loans dates back further than currency. Someone gives you something and you pay them back plus interest. Rates on student loans are already low. There are also many options if you wish to not take out college loans. You can work while in school, attend community college for two years and finish your degree at a four year university, scholarships, have guardians save money when you are born to pay for college 18 years down the road, become a resident adviser and not pay for housing, share textbooks. If you want your debts to be absolved seek Jesus not the president. onlettingjoe and randomfortunepa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My undergrad I paid my self but when I got to grad school I could no longer afford to. For most grad school is unnecessary but in psychology which is my field I have no choice but to go to grad school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Student loan rates are typically lower than other forms of loans. Once again you don't have to go to grad school. That is your choice no one is making you.

True but there are no jobs in psychology with out a master, I know I didn't have to be in psych but its what I wanna do. And yeah rates are low but Obama stopped them from going way up, and Romney was gonna repeal that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get into a program where they pay for your tuition and give you a stipend. Sure that is difficult, but it is an option and if you are that desperate you can put in the hours to get the grades needed to get into those programs.
