Yes, normally I would move this and other non-bodybuilding topics around, but today is election day. It is important, regardless of who, to vote.
It will be moved after today :)
you should put yourself in time out! :D
A lot of other issues besides McCain vs. Obama. I voted for McCain, even though there is no chance of him winning in California. For myself, from a business background, and obviously, I want to pay less taxes, his views are better aligned with me.
I didnt register by the deadline...Is it possible to register at the polls?

If you are from MA vote YES on question three and Yes on Question 2.I went with
Bob Stoops for president.
Yes and thats also the reason that why recent politics threads fits in so perfectly! Thank you for your honesty Ron, not a lot of people have been public with how they vote. Let's not forget that both Stallone and Arnold votes for McCain and nobody wants to be a GIRLY MAN and vote differently!

Ron did you vote Obama? I hope 8)no, no you didn't I just saw the post :D
do you reckon the rest of the world should be able to vote too ? as politics might affect them ?I agree
A lot of people are voting for McCain, but not sure if it will help him to win.
One thing that is interesting. At the voting area, no one checks for identification at all, so anyone can vote.
It is so simple - to prevent voter fraud - ask for ID, and also, have them put a thumbprint on the ballot too. With the understanding that if you are voting fruadently, it will be a major fine.

In Los Angeles County, 12 propositions, and a myriad of other bonds, measures and other people being 'elected' for office.
Our ballots were black dot kinds, not electronic, nor chad style.

no, the republicans also think of the democrats they employ because they're too stupid to make it out on their own. hope that helps.typical republican comment , like mcsame you cant say middle class...

yes, you can do that if you're black and voting in a swing state
Actually, you just voted AGAINST YOUR OWN INTERESTS.
Under Obama`s tax plan you pay less taxes for your small business.
We all know your business DOES NOT GROSS 250,000 profit which 98 PERCENT of small businesses also DO NOT GROSS.
Congratulations Ron for voting against your interests and not realizing it.
i guess he really didnt do any independent research on the two candidates. mods delete ron's post.Poor Ron just THREW HIS VOTE AWAYS by VOTING AGAINST HIS OWN INTERESTS!

Total BS... everyone is going to get thier taxes raised. Obama has you duped. Just wait til he lets the Bush tax cuts expire and raises cap gains. Then when he forces employers to provide health care they'll have to start laying off people.Prove it. You can`t.
Not to mention all of Obongos associates are ant-semites. No, I think Ron is thinking very clearly about his interests.
Prove it. You can`t.
Poor Ron just THREW HIS VOTE AWAYS by VOTING AGAINST HIS OWN INTERESTS!
What a shame. Hopefully 4 years from now he will have enough time to realize that Obama`s tax plan has saved him more money than McCain`s.
I find it amusing that Ron just VOTED AGAINST HIS OWN INTERESTS.you actually think any of these people looked over the policy?
His business DOES NOT profit 250,000 and over. This means Obama`s tax plan saves him more money when you do the math and compare McCain`s plan.
Ron, did you forget to read the Tax Plans? ???
haha Ron was owned by the ballot box or voting machine.
Total BS... everyone is going to get thier taxes raised. Obama has you duped. Just wait til he lets the Bush tax cuts expire and raises cap gains. Then when he forces employers to provide health care they'll have to start laying off people.not gonna happen because he will be out of office in 4 yrs if it does, do you actually think before you comment?

Adonis,
Do you ever consider that Almost every country outside the US is praying that Obama Wins?
Quit bitching about your taxes and consider foreign policy.
The world does not HATE America, they simply HATE Bush's intimidation tactics and heavy handedness.
All over the world people are scared shitless of a McCain presidency.
Nobody wants a senile warmonger as president, although i suppose if America is ok, then the rest of the world does not matter?
(http://petget.com/prh/files/obama_dogs_3_b_184.jpg)Adam, you have your dogs out to eat the McCain voters or what? ;D
OMG .. why do we give a shit what countries think about us? A lot of these countries pulling for an Obama presidency are our enemies anyway.
We are the most powerful nation on earth. Of course a lot of other countries aren't going to like that. Obama intends to basically disarm us so big surprise there.
OMG .. why do we give a shit what countries think about us? A lot of these countries pulling for an Obama presidency are our enemies anyway.Why the siege mentality?

Getbig is not my business. But Obama raising the capital gains tax is my business. Obama claiming $250K but actually a lot less is my business. Obama making sure that everyone has to cover health care for everyone, while not caring about how you pay for it, is a concern.
But again, I am not debating you guys, it has been rehashed over and over. What happens happens. It is what it is. I will deal with it, and I will be fine, whoever is president.
I am more concerned about the half cent tax increase in sales tax here in Los Angeles County.
Point it, you need to vote!
Voted. Now where is the nearest Starbucks to get my free coffee?all they were giving out was Coffee coupons?

Somebody needs to ban any non-American posters who start threads about Obama.
THANKS ADONIS...Thank you too!
Thank you too!all this could have been prevented if Al Gore was elected as president 8 years ago :-\
We did it!
Now we have A LOT of work to do!
Thank you too!
We did it!
Now we have A LOT of work to do!
maybe you will be the 2012 candidate for the white house, adonis ?he would make the Adonis principles a LAW
Thank you too!
We did it!
Now we have A LOT of work to do!
Well.. congrats to Obama. I hope that by next year, I can save enough money via my taxes to get a faster and better server. Adonis, may all your words be facts with Obama.ron you sound like a balls to the wall republican....
Clinton in 1992 won in 1992, with the House having over 250 Democrats and the Senate 58 Democrats. People wanted change. Two years later, when all the promises didnt happen, the Republicans swept both houses, if I remember correctly.
Everyone should give Obama a chance. Maybe he will work to make things better for all.
But sometime after January 20th, people may realize that he wont pay their mortgage and gas.
Now that he won, time to do what he and his advisors, the ones who got him into office, David Axelrod and David Plouffe, want to do. Forget the promises.
ron you sound like a balls to the wall republican.... again, everything for you is me me me! you would rather have an extra thou in the bank then some kids getting college funds or some veteran getting some handouts.
Actually, growing up, we didnt have much. Came here from another country, worked hard, dad worked from 9-6, then went to school from 7-10 M-Thursday to better our lives. Saved money, still working hard, and didnt get handouts.
As for kids getting a college fund, I would rather have some money for my kids to go to college, yes. When I went to college, I was denied 'funds' because my parents made a little too much, which wasn't a lot. I had to work through college too. Many people have to work while going through college. 32 hours of work, 12 hours of school each week at the time.
That is the problem. People expect handouts. There is a lot people can do instead of expecting handouts. Take a class to learn something new. Do some community service. But nah...
It is never about me. I give money to the Diabetes Foundation, to the cancer foundation, to PATT (schools so that they can get items and fund teachers at my daughters school, which is a public school), Autistic Foundation (my sister's son is autistic), and quite a bit. But it is my choice.

hmmm considering obama offered free college for people doing community service/serving in the military ect.., whats your point, or do you even bother to read over the policies?
What about the people that dont have the brain capacity to go to college plus work, there are millions of people that cant handle that type of schedule for alot of different reasons and end up bagging groceries for a living.You were lucky , you have the brain capacity to do what you did, stop trying to lump everyone into one category.
Basically the people that end up stocking shelves for a living at ten bucks an hour dont deserve some extra foodstamps, medical ect... because ron had to work for his. Ever stop to think alot of those people just were not born with a brain thats capable of learning beyond a highschool education?
AGAIN, ME ME ME , I HAD TO DO THIS, I HAD TO DO THAT.

maybe Ron is egoistical, lacking in morals?
So basically because you had it hard , everyone else should ::)Survival of the fittest! You can't fucking hack it in this country get the fuck out. If life has taught me anything, nobody fucking gives anything to you, you have to fucking take it. Now that I have worked my ass off, I'm expected to give my money to those who are less fortunate? Fuck them! Unless your "physically" disabled or served our country in the military you do not deserve handouts cause you decided to smoke crack and have eight kids!

Still amazed at how this was viewed as selfish. Absolutely amazed.

Still amazed at how this was viewed as selfish. Absolutely amazed.Seriously! I had a very similar position. My mom made decent money (didn't have a father around) but it was nothing to brag about. I had to work full-time to afford my schooling, I don't make a lot of money yet, but I'm not expecting those who do to give me shit! Soon my hard work will have paid off, and I'll be damned if I'm giving any of it away to lazy asses. I'd rather donate to charity and know that my money will truly serve a greater cause.
Now someone tells me that money is evil... blows my mind.
I had to work full-time to afford my schooling
ME, ME, ME - you selfish son of a bitch!;D
