Gary johnson is just another libertarian hack who nobody cares about, proven by the fact he didn't get even 1% of the popular vote.

Is that why so many of them disappeared from internet forums the day after the election?

Do you make this stuff up?? What makes you think the majority of white America can identify with a guy who is worth over a quarter of a billion dollars, who's primary focus was preserving the interests of the rich? Obama won because many people suspected Romney would have destroyed this country.

Sounds good. I hope gay people enjoy their marriages in 10 states for the foreseeable future because that's about as far as it's going to get. Didn't even pass muster in Oregon.

1. I don't feel guilty. I gave Catholicism up for Lent decades ago, and I've happy as a clam ever since.

2. I voted for him a second time because I share his values in terms of human dignity and the social contract.

That is unfortunate, but it was a civil union bill, not an outright gay marriage bill, which is what people want. Give it time, it will pass in Oregon too, the liberals outnumber you there.

Per Wikipedia

Quote:
The Oregon Constitution states: "It is the policy of Oregon, and its political subdivisions, that only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or legally recognized as a marriage."[
By the way, I support gay marriage. Like I said, enjoy your marriage in 10 states. You have no one to blame but yourself who "leaves it up to the states."

It's a projection of their world view. The only way they see white people votng for Obama is through the prism of their own imbecility.

Everyone is hung up on Obama's race. Even in 2008 Obama himself kept saying 'what are the odds of me being here?"

It's America.

While in a state of denial, some conservatives may have blamed their guy's loss on white guilt, but I think that he lost more votes when he put the dog on the car roof. Everyone knows that you chain them to the back bumper.
