So, you post a thread in the politics forum (using an emoticon sticking its tongue out) headed "MLB player agents react to Obama election," link to the story giving no indication of what you are implying (except your voluminous posting history mocking left-leaning posters) and we're supposed to discern a benign purpose on your part? Perhaps a post-election anecdote coming from someone uninterested in baseball--who just happened to come across the article on Drudgereport (that's a winking emoticon, not suggesting that I'm smiling at you, but letting you know that I know where you got the article and I'm going to point it out because I'm an elitest a-hole)? I think not. I just wanted to read it coming from you.

How is that clear?

I've waited eight years and I'm scrapping for a fight, damn it!

I know exactly what you said you giant-headed mutant, and I know the post you were responding to. Do you, or do you not agree with Sage that Obama has the nation's best interest at heart? Your cynical response would suggest you do not. My response was that millions do believe he has the nation's best interest at heart, and that is why they voted for him.

Well, lucky for you I can use the internet and Google News, because I found the original Yale article...listing several McCain and Obama supporters on the faculty who gave donations to the campaigns.

Then why make a thread about baseball? I already know the answer why you did it, but it would be easier to argue with you if I have something assinine to quote.

If one of them was a greyhound getting stoned, you can thank the good people of Massachusetts.

I'm sure the average American worker will sympathize with them.

Well, what's it going to be with you people? All we've heard for weeks is that the people voting for Obama were welfare queens, commies, terrorists and lazy people looking for a hand-out. Now you're stating (wrongly, as there were spontaneous, jubillant crowds from all walks of life in almost every city displayed on our TV screens last night) that there were only the well-to-do celebrating, or in your words the people who wouldn't be directly benefitting from Obama's economic policies (another non-fact). Am I to take it from your post that a very diverse cross-section of America voted proudly for this man and celebrated his election?

True that. The only people acting like a-holes were the McCain/Palin people booing Obama at McCain's concession speech. I think we're going be more worried over the next eight years over what the militia-mentality, bunker-in-the-back-yard people are going to resort to.

I can see that this debate is going to be a complete waste of my time.

finknottle claims the numbers are 20-1. So, without even a link to the article we only have his word. But if the numbers are that skewed (and if he has this info then its either in the article or someone else gave it too him...because the names are in the public domain) it wouldn't take a genius to assume that the majority of the faculty not named in the list donated to Obama.

Is a "Big Brother" metaphor even relevent to this discussion? Every citizen gets a vote. Read your Constitution. Good for them. Everyone should vote.

And what would be the merits of their case? That the Yale newspaper reported information that is in the public domain?

Donating to a campaign is a transparent process. People who donate know this. The information is out there for anyone to get if they want to. It's not intimidation.

And millions of people do believe Obama has the nation's best interest at heart and voted for him. This was the most informed electorate ever. You can choose to disagree, but part of the reason McCain lost was his negative rhetoric and outright lies was easily fact-checked within seconds of it being spewed. You and yours love to throw around terms like "sheeple" and "lemming" because you have this impression that everyone except for you are stupid. We are not. I proudly cast my vote for Barack Obama because he is exactly who I wanted to be President, and I have no doubt what-so-ever that when his chapter in history finally comes to a close eight years from now this country will be far better off than it is today, and it will be better off because he was the President.

You're hyperventillating over nothing. The information is in the public domain.

These bitter loser threads are pretty entertaining. Yeah, why on earth would we want a President looked upon favorably by the rest of the world?

No. It's all online. Donordata.org Anyone who wants to know can just look it up themselves.

Wow. Look at these final early vote totals at the GMU professor's site. 30.8 million early votes cast, roughly 25% of the 2004 vote total. Look at those numbers for FLA alone. 4.2 million early votes cast.

Have a great day, Joe.

I'm in line right now. Came down 45 minutes early. I expected a line but not this long. I'm about 100 back and there's a lot more that came after. Party atmosphere. People high-fiving. Cars, trucks, buses going by and honking. People brought their kids to be a part of this. We're in Mass, so our state is a given, but peole are fired up.

Two crashed planes is several more than most people have.

So, these Seventy-Six American Nobel Laureates who endorsed Obama are dupes, as well as the editors of the Journal Nature? All three of this year's American recipients endorse him, and Nature hasn't endorsed a candidate since its inception in 1869. Sheeple? Unlikely.
