I hear people try to equate gay marriage rights to civil rights, and I happen to agree there are many similarities. The one which struck me the most was the role of big businesses. I know many, including some on here, have said this will impose additional costs on businesses, but I've rarely seen evidence of it born out. Still, I was reading http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepol...and-and-maine/ and I cam across the following,

"“On the surface, Washington is known as the home of Microsoft, Amazon and Starbucks but on a deeper level we represent the best of rugged individualism combined with deeply held values of the common good,” said Carlyle. Amazon, Starbucks and Microsoft brass were generous donors to the Ref. 74 campaign, and business leaders argued that marriage equality would draw talent to the state."

What struck me about this was reading back to the abolitionist movement in the U.S. and U.K. It was quite often stated with absolute certainty in the press that without slaves the economies of the countries would fail. Yet some of the earliest and biggest proponents of abolitionism in the U.S. were the Quakers...who incidentally were a huge business coalition not just a religion. Pennsylvania owed much of its early prosperity to the same Quakers who made the economic arguments against slavery right along side their moral arguments against it.

As we rebel against big business as soulless, perhaps we would do well to recognize how much social progress has been promoted by big business.

I didn't mind what Obama said at all. In fact I was already voting for revenge before Obama even said it. I'm voting to spit in the face of a hypocritical, jacka**, filibuster-happy congress that has done nothing but throw the American people under the bus in an attempt to regain power. These hypocrites (including Paul Ryan) wrote a blank check to Bush for 8 years but conveniently got "conservative" when they lost. I'm voting for revenge because of Republicans suddenly trying to pass voter ID laws and kill early voting to obviously suppress the vote. I'm voting for revenge of the GOP trying to buy an election with the Citizens United crap. I don't want to see their actions of the last 3+ years rewarded with the presidency because it will do nothing but encourage these fools to keep trying these tactics in the future. Mitt Romney talks about voting for love of country? Well I see no love of country from the GOP. I see nothing but contempt and I've grown sick of the birther talks they've fed into, the ignorance they spout, and the blatant obstructionism.

The above reasons were my main motivations to vote and as far as I'm concerned justice has been served. Last night was a referendum on the way the Republican party goes about its business and it was thoroughly rejected by people like me who are fed up with their bull****. Now it's time for them to take a long look in the mirror and grow the **** up. Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

Is it okay for me to call the blacks who vote for Obama racist?

There is no courting the blacks away from Obama, most voted because he was black. Yes, you will disagree of course, but you know deep down I am right.

Let me see if I get this straight.

You are telling me that when the conservatives relentlessly label the first major African American candidate for President a Muslim communist atheist homosexual jihadist usurper Kenyan criminal ghetto thug drug addict witch doctor who is too stupid to speak without a teleprompter....

it should surprise us all that this drives up the black vote?

Or how about trying to pass voter ID laws in an election year. Close election in 2000 and 2004? No voter ID laws needed. Black president wins election in a landslide in 2008? Voter ID laws out the ass from the GOP Kill the early vote on top of that!! Did they really think after all of the birther nonsense for the last 3 years that minorities wouldn't see that as a slap in the face? They can read between the lines. Tossing the "welfare", "free checks" catch-phrases around in attack ads ad nauseum didn't help either. Yeah, that's not going to motivate minorities to vote against the GOP as a big **** you. I swear it's like that party is stuck on stupid.

Oh lord, that video was just too much.

It reminded me why I proudly cast my vote for Gary Johnson.

[greenspandan]

pretty clear that the GOP's attempts at voter suppression backfired and fired people up.

[USS Redskins]

Man, today really sucks.... this is worse than 2008!

But good luck to President Obama and I hope he can really move the country forward.

Not sure why people think that they Republicans need to change. They obviously don't. They needed stronger Presidential candidates. I think they picked up 4 or 5 governorship for a total of 33ish. (numbers are a little fuzzy). they have the first GOP governor in NC in 2 decades, I think they also picked up seats in the house. Did they get the big prize? No. But they are sitting quite well. This was not an Obama blow out by any means. What this tells me is that BOTH parties need to drag themselves to the center and quit being so partisan.

There was a time when Democrats couldn't win the presidency, save for Carter's win in 76 after Watergate. I don't see Obama's coalition voting Republican for President unless they change. Hillary in 2016, I believe would actually build on what Obama did. What's funny; I think Romney won less votes than Mccain did.
