like i've gone from being completely apathetic to genuinely wanting romney to sweep to power.
my mate wrote an article about how obama and romney were similar candidates. he's now making facebook statuses about staying up all night to watch election coverage and cheering obama on. in england.
my uncle who lives in san francisco and last month was ranting about how much he dislikes obama sent me a text saying he's the 'lesser evil'.
my 9 year old sister, who couldn't name any british politicians if you asked her, is talking about how fantastic obama is.
swathes of morons on facebook going off on how wonderful obama is like some kony2012 cult shit.
so please romney, win. please. and then be exactly the same as obama.

I'd prefer that Obama won, but the only reason for that is the fact that I think enraged/bitter conservatives are funnier than enraged/bitter liberals.
I mean, if he wins, there's a good chance that some good stories will leak out about Obama stole the elections by rigging the voting machines, and maybe sending swarms of Black Panthers to beat old people as they tried to vote.
I try to stay informed somewhat on European politics but you never hear anything about it on the news.

IMO a Romney victory can reasonably be compared to Reagan's victory in 1980. The Hitler reference is more in the nature to a general reference to the dangers of the extreme right in power. Although I wouldn't compare Romney to Hitler directly, IMO the Tea Party is sufficiently reactionary to share at least some aspects with the mass base of Nazism such as the Brownshirts. I certainly would prefer to see the Tea Party types bemoaning a loss rather than celebrating a victory, and am confident that the vast majority of real world leftists share that conviction.

Did Bush accidentally vote for Obama? Not quite

Remember when George W. Bush was president, and political comedians were able to get an infinite amount of material from mocking his missteps and slip-ups? Apparently, even though the Bush presidency is long over, the Internet jokesters at the Daily Currant have gone retro on us and released a bumbling Dubya hoax that seems to have come straight from 2004. The parody news source claimed that Bush became confused by the electronic voting machine and accidentally cast a vote for Obama, in spite of his requests that election officials give him a redo. In spite of the story's fictional Bush quotes, such as "everything was mismaladjusted on the screen," the spoof story still fooled The Daily Kos and numerous smaller blogs. Sorry guys, you're going to have to dig a little deeper to get your Bush bashing fix this time.

I think enraged/bitter conservatives are funnier than enraged/bitter liberals.
Speaking of which...

Gotta say though- why the fuck do people still think Obama is a communist?

Some of those just have to be trolls. For the sake of this planet, please can at least some of them be trolls?

Because they're conservatives. And they watch Fox News. Most probably don't even know what communism is.
Although some of them (the powerful ones especially) don't really believe that. They just keep repeating it for propaganda purposes. It's the old conservative strategy: demonize your opponent with the most ridiculous accusations, many people will believe it.
Moreover, it's been proven (and it's been pretty obvious all along) that the more conservative you are, the less educated you tend to be. They even did a study proving that people who embrace conservative beliefs have lower iq's:

This is going to be my response from now on, every time I see on on those stupid bumper stickers talking about "taking back the white house in 2012" or how "Obama is going to be a one term president".

The funniest (and scariest) displays of conservative ignorance I've ever seen were the Tea Party protests 2 years ago. You have to see it to believe it:

Only Obama can implement bail outs and austerity in a way that would have voters begging for more in 2012. If a Republican administration implemented all the shit the Obama administration/Democrats just implemented 2008-2012 there would have been riots in the streets that make the 1992 LA riots look like child's play. He was/is the perfect hit man for the ruling class and we're the target. At least with Romney, when he implements the same policies, we would have had a better chance at forming more serious opposition and thus a more radicalized working class.
no i dont think so. it would be like what happened under bush, protests here and there, not much else. maybe a may day 2006 type of rally that happens once and never again. pretty much the same under obama
I think you're both right in a way. Regardless of who won, working class resistance is still small, underconfident, scattered, and disorganized. So the task remains the same at the end of the day, trying to build up independant working class means of organizartion and struggle - in that way people would have a counterweight to all the media and everyone telling us that Obama is the limits of what we can hope for or, under a Republican, that electing Democrats is the only way to stop their agenda.

Ach, it has all the buzzwords too, saw voter fraud and class warfare in some of those screencaps.
I always found this funny too, that Obama is using class warfare for his advantage to further his socialist agenda in some weird Hugo Chavez power play by bashing the rich or some business. If anything these GOP folk should be praising Obama for not letting class warfare explode onto the streets by diffusing the "left" that so eagerly supported him from progressive ranks despite all this austerity and aid to the rich.

I've been looking at some Republican blogs and wow, these people seem to think it's Nazi Germany and they're about to be herded into the cattle trucks. They are seriously that deluded about the ISLAMOSOCIALISTFACISTMARXISTHITLERTERRORISTOSAMAOB AMA that they are barely even making any sense. They might as well just bang their empty heads against their keyboards.

The thing that really annoys me is how my Facebook is (obviously) full of Obama-love-statuses, but nobody's talking about how Crystal Palace are top of the league. Get your fucking priorities straight, people! :blink:

by the same token though, some of the liberal stuff about how a romney presidency would herald a war-torn apocalyptic state ruled by bankers is equally as mental. shit, that stuff appears in this very thread; romney is compared to hitler ffs.

That picture's pretty awesome too.
I wonder what it's like to feel genuinely crushed by a candidate's loss. It's an emotion I've never felt before, and probably will never feel.

Found this one in the NYT blog:
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2012/11/07/world/middleeast/07lede_israel1/07lede_israel1-blog480.jpg
Mr. Obama: “Benjamin, what’s up? Say, remember how much you intervened and tried to influence the presidential elections here in the States?”
Mr. Netanyahu: “Yeah, why?”
Mr. Obama: “Oh, no reason.”

I want Romney to win too, I don't want Obama to reinstate the assault weapons ban, or appoint supreme court justices who will make anti-gun rulings. And no, I'm not joking.
No shame in this, we need guns, heck if they ever get around to closing gun shows then FARC will find it's self out of ammo in a day.
