They both have suffrage, period.

Your logic has defeated me.

Go read the fucking constitution.  It's not my logic, it's a founding principle of our country.

I thought you were arguing what should be, not what is.  Does being in the constitution grant moral authority?

[Leafsnail]

Sure it's a founding principle.  I don't agree with that founding principle.  The constitution isn't the word of God.

[Sowelu]

Sorry.  My main intention here was to try and explain the motivations behind that principle to people who didn't seem to have a firm understanding.  Being personally attacked for that is...unpleasant.

[mainiac]

They do not, by and large, seem ignorant as to the origin or mechanics of this principle to me.  Everyone but you appears to be debating what should be, not what is.

[Leafsnail]

It wasn't a personal attack.  I was pointing out that you were literally saying "I am right.  Period".

But yeah.  This discussion is not exactly off-topic but probably shouldn't consume the thread.  I'll stop posting on the matter.

[PTTG??]

Back to the election, Obama's going to win.

[Rose]

Didn't the republicans manage to get him the position of satan?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

To Republicans.

To everyone else? Not so much.

[PTTG??]

You have to remember, the republicans are throwing the race. If this was professional wrestling, they'd be standing on the edge of the ring screaming about how invulnerable they are while supporters are stacking folding chairs around Obama's corner.

[Leafsnail]

I guess you could see the refusal of much of the Republican base to vote Romney even now as a "we'd rather lose" message.  I can see the logic - the next four years are gonna be tough on whoever gets in, and there's also the fact that some portion of the Republican base hopes they can get a more nutty candidate (see Santorum) next time if Obama is hated more.

[Kilroy the Grand]

In my opinion the only difference between obama and romney is skin color.

Personally I'd rather have 4 more years of the same bullshit than 8. Not that it matters since the next president is probably going to be shit also.

They are not quite that similar, but they are more alike than they are different.

[GlyphGryph]

Yeah, Romney got his healthcare plan passed without caving in to the opposition.

Darth Muslim Obama versus "Down with the Emperor!" and "Lets do jack squat!" Republican Majority

That Rich Guy: Romney versus ... Fellow Republicans and a relatively Moderate/Democratic State?
