This should be good.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:55 AM) No. According to Politico and the WSJ, it dasn't a broad mandate because he had to rely on minorities and women to win instead of winning the white male vote. Who f***ing cares about the white male vote? If anything this election should prove they can't pander to one demographic and expect to win.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:52 AM) The main issue with that was the timing. It was a week before the election. If that was 6 months ago, fine, no problem. But as O'Reilly correctly pointed out last night, Sandy was a big blow (ba-doom-ching) to Romney's campaign. He was off the front page for 4-5 days, and in his place was the President talking on the phone or wearing a jacket with the Presidential seal or walking with Christie. I think the GOP has to go with Rubio or at least Rubio as a VP. I'm kind of surprised they didn't do that this year but I guess the thought was to try and catch one last tea party wave. This was such a winnable election. Timing wouldn't have helped Romney. He was a pathetic candidate just like Kerry in 2004. He simply couldn't be trusted and was a complete and utter clown. Even his own party wasn't excited about him. 2016 will be a better presidential race for sure.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:51 AM) I have no doubt in my mind that if Christie runs in 2016, he will be very, very tough to beat. I watched him handling the hurricane, and he's all sorts of presidential. if he loses 100 pounds... It's sad but I could see people disregarding him as a candidate because he's obese. People tend to vote for the "better looking" candidates.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:42 AM) It's so disappointing to see some of the posts on Facebook and the like after the election. And as some of you have mentioned about those saying they are goijng to move to Canada or Europe...they just don't get it. There were many I know whose position was "anyone but Obama". So to them it didn't matter who the GOP rolled up there, that's who was going to get their vote. That's the problem with the two party system. For so many voters it didn't matter what Obama was promising or what Romney said he's do different. It was Democrat and Republican. Obama or the other guy. I've taken those tests online that ask a bunch of questions to see where you are in regards to political alliance. For the most part I end up leaning towards Democrat, but there are things that I believe that are opposite the Democratic way. If there wasn't a two party system, we as voters would probably pay a lot more attention to what the candidates believe in and say they will do. Obviously the party system will never go away, but it's a shame that so many voters are uninformed and for the most part don't want to be informed. YES! I think most Americans are probably very similar but allow themselves to get caught up with the partisan politics. You don't owe a particular party any allegiance! If anything, they owe you to gather your vote. I'll be an independent until the day I take a dirt nap.

We do need a 3rd party option for sure. I am sick and tired of the D's and R's. People are so aligned with their party, that they'll vote for something that against their interests for loyalty sakes. F*** that! We all are different and have our different reasons for why we vote the way we do but this is America and that's what makes in great. FREEDOM! On a side note. Romney was like Kerry was in 2004. They had to throw someone out there but most our eyeing 2016 as a legitimate Presidential race. Romney won't last past the primaries next time for sure.

I just can't wait for the elections to be over.

greg, They want starting pitching. Floyd and Q would get it done I think. They have one veteran and one player that would be under their control.

He looked like an "ace" when the Angels swept us out of Anaheim though. ;-) -
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 31, 2012 -> 03:37 PM) From all prior reports I had seen, it had seemed that Youkilis was a giant horse's ass off the field, so everything you say sounds about right. How so?

Epic facepalm! Greg is destroying it today!

Morel grows some hair around his nuts and learns how to fuggin' HIT! We shouldn't have to find a 3B we should be able to pull from the farm! Make Morel do hitting drills all winter and bring him up!

Mad respect for Peavy. I hope he comes back with a chip on his shoulder and becomes the SOX's "Verlander" but not WS Verlander. That guys blows.

Watching you guys crush greg is making my day. Please continue.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 10:02 AM) I don't consider the Tigers a "rival". This isn't college football. But hey, if you want to hate teams out of jealousy, that's your right. LOL jealousy? Get real!
-
QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 09:40 AM) My team didn't win the World Series, so any joy taken anywhere else is pretty pathetic. Are we really going to lower ourselves to a performance like last Tuesday, where Cubs fans rejoiced all day like it was their super bowl? No one wants to see a disliked rival win a championship.

Greg and his conspiracy theories again. Fielder just can't hit NL pitching... ;-)

Triple Crown Winner caught looking. A ironic ending. Trout for MVP!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 27, 2012 -> 11:50 PM) The AL Tigers should be embarrassed. Giants should not be up, 3-0. FTFY

Greg it's the internet man, no one hates you. That is somewhat borderline delusions of grandeur.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Oct 26, 2012 -> 02:14 PM) Positive thinking I guess... Kind of like when I walk into a store and see a bunch of Cubs stuff and no Sox stuff at all. I just say to myself "Well, they must have just sold out of the Sox stuff already." Haha nice!

Greg is a troll or a very young person. The very nature of his reasoning leads most to believe that. If Detroit wins they will become complacent? I don't even know how to respond to the absurdity of that post. ALL teams are trying to win it all every year. Who says "welp, we won last year, f*** everything else." It feels good to see the GIANTS hammer the overrated Tigers. I did feel bad for Fister though, we may root against a team but noone wants to see people get hurt in the process.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 25, 2012 -> 03:01 PM) Why do many of you want the Giants to win? Detroit is in the gawddam AL, which is our league. WTF is wrong with some people? I do not get it. AL pride??? Some of you assume the AL is the better league. Then let's win the gawddam world series???!!!!!! And it might soften up the Tigers for next season as well. You've got to be kidding me? I can only speak for myself but I absolutely despise De-Toilet. I will never bring myself to root for those clowns. Last year I felt differently but after they went on a spending frenzy and on top of all the hype, I just want them to fall flat on their faces. I loved how everyone was on Verlander's nutsack and in one game, he looks completely fuggin' human! I bleed black and white! GO SOX! F*** DE-TOILET! GO GIANTS!
