You will notice that I did not specify any particular party. I think that any person who uses religion as the only basis for selecting their candidate is poorly informed. I think ALL voters should make the best informed decision they can. The only way to do that is research. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383556 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:17:23 +0000 Mrsbells 383556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383546 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:15:38 +0000 mrbee 383546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I opened this thread to celebrate all this stuff being over... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383462 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:53:03 +0000 honeybear 383462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I did not compare her statement to the assassination remarks.

I have an aunt that posts the most insane Obama conspiracy crap. Articles about how the inscription on his wedding band is a secret Muslim message about his jihad against America; tons of birther nonsense. Just insane stuff. I wouldn’t be surprised if she posts a similar video… </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383405 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:40:42 +0000 lawbee11 383405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dookie32: People have way too much time on their hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383398 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:39:18 +0000 Mrsbells 383398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: I dont see what she posted as an insult at all. Thats just her opinion about relgion and politics. She didnt say all people who vote based on religion are stupid or anything along those lines. she just said she doesnt think they go together. Are people not allowed to express their opinions on that subject? How can that be compared to assasination remarks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383390 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:37:50 +0000 DillonLion 383390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dookie32: Whoa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383383 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:36:27 +0000 dookie32 383383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Holy cow that's horrific.

It shouldn't be used as an excuse for poorly informed decisions." Those were your words yesterday. How is that not an insult to people who vote in accordance with their religious beliefs? </p> <p>Look, I've no doubt that there are some troglodytes being very poor losers today. But let's not forget that there has been a lot of mudslinging and name-calling going around generally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383285 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:05:46 +0000 lawbee11 383285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: That is awful. I can't believe someone would post that about anyone. </p> <p>When Bush was re-elected, I was not thrilled. But I never posted anything on Facebook, Twitter, etc. about it. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383269 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 10:59:56 +0000 Mrsbells 383269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am really stunned at some of the things republicans are posting on social media. I've seen very racist comments against obama, people saying they cantbelieve a black man won another term, and also more comments about assasination.<br /> I have also seen the comments about how most democrats are lazy non white immigrants. It makes me happier that he won. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383266 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 10:58:45 +0000 dagret 383266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Not only is:<br /> A. that truly inappropriate and disgusting and hateful but<br /> B. wouldn't solve anything b/c Joe Biden would become vice president. and<br /> C.

I agree that a post like that is totally inappropriate! The worst I've seen are the posts implying all Obama supporters are lazy and abusing the welfare system. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383252 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 10:50:50 +0000 DillonLion 383252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: How can someone feel okay posting something like that?

It is cool to make jokes and insinuations about assassinating the president (or wanting to see a person of any caliber murdered)? Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383188 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 10:22:29 +0000 MsMamaBear 383188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the facebook problem too. calling Obama voters ignorant and such. Delete. Most Romney supports haven't said anything, which I'm glad. I haven't said a word as well and I voted Obama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-383058 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 09:21:54 +0000 ladyfingers 383058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankfully I haven't seen anything negative on Facebook. Maybe my feed's only showing the people I agree with... ;) I'm surprised, though. I have some fairly vocal and mean-spirited right-leaning Facebook friends. (Not that all right-leaning people are mean-spirited... far from it.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-382987 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 08:13:28 +0000 meredithNYC 382987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad it's over, but sad to see some of the racist commentary on my Facebook. Time to unfriend in those cases. I can take a difference of political opinion, but I can not and will not deal with racism. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-382971 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 07:55:52 +0000 littlek 382971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: I agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-election-is-over-according-to-cnn-fox-news-and-other-tv-networks/page/2#post-382965 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 07:35:57 +0000 MamaG 382965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm afraid for the next four years. Our country is so strongly divided that very little positive will be accomplished. This is what happens when you are in a recession/depression/economic down cycle. I look forward to the day that our economy is strong (again), unemployment is down to acceptable levels and Americans are able to support themselves without the heavy reliance on a very strained govenmental system.</p> <p>The strong division is what is bringing out the worst in both sides. While I lean right, I've seen the name calling, ugliness, immaturity on both sides. </p>
