Gay rights and women's rights are extremely important issues for social progression. The Republican's policies are backwards and would send the world back into the 20th century. Comparing homosexuality to paedophillia is disturbing, and criminalising abortion even for rape and incest (and making some abhorrent comments regarding that) is appalling.

Social equality and progression is one of the most important issues in any election campaign, especially the election of the world's most important political figure. Undoing the work of the last 100 years in a four year term is really not even worth thinking about.

Mitt will be storming that stage Obama is supposed to be giving his speech on by the looks of things

Obama is on the phone to his good friend Vlad right now breaking the news

How would he do that, he'd pretty much retain the status quo as Obama did for 4 years until that interview where he only ever gave vocal support to it, Obama originally ran for President in 08 on a platform of supporting civil unions but not same sex marriage

totally agree, i know this sounds bad but 9/11 played a huge part in the progression of america, it opened up the eye's of backward's racist, homophobic america, most of the heart of america were so far out of touch with the rest of the world,

without 9/11 obama would never have been elected in the first place, a black president would have been unthinkable, so has i said it sound's bad but 9/11 was a blessing in disguise for america.

hope i haven't offended anybody by saying that, it's just what i believe.

Gave us 4 more years of Bush as well though

Romney still hasn't phoned Obama to concede

Hasn't got any credit

yaaaaay Colorado goes to Obama.

Obama is not black.

Hang on a minute i think Delaware is still up for grabs

Doesn't matter. Its over.

ok, i bow down to your knowledge and eyesight

Other results of votes:

Maryland and Maine have voted in favour of gay marriage - it looks like Washington will follow suit, and I can't find any results for Minnesota.
Colorado and Washington have voted to legalise recreational marijuana :o
California may, but it is incredibly tight, vote to repeal the death penalty (although the main argument seems to be that it costs so much to process, and deal with appeals)

good day for liberals :pipe:

poor Mittens.

Right. Like he didn't have a white mother. Calling him black is disrespecting half of his heritage. Unless you don't care about that and just mindlessly follow the "one drop" that created by racist Americans to promote white supremacy. Either way calling him black is ignorant.

I wonder how the results would have been if Romney stood in 2008 (and lost, obviously) and McCain stood in 2012... McCain was a far more tolerable republican candidate IMO

Virginia goes to Obama. Bit surprised about that.

how do you know calling him black disrespect's half of his heretige?
i'm sure he's been called the first black american president before, or am i wrong? don't bring up the race card because i am stating fact's.

Obama still would have won. Americans were tired of republicans after Bush screwed up the economy.

Yeah I quite liked McCain but any Republican would probably have lost after 8 years of Bush and he kind of shot himself in the foot by picking Palin as his running mate, if he'd done that again he'd probably still have lost this election I think, especially cos he's 76 now and there's even more chance of him popping his clogs during his Presidency :laugh:

Samuel L. Jackson ‏@SamuelLJackson
Trolls HYPERVENTILATIN' tonite! Won't honor U w/a retweet! CHOKE MUTHAPUBLICANZ! CHOKE!!

Romney has conceded, might stay up for the speeches now

Calling him black is ignoring half of his heritage. He is not black. He is bi-racial.

You are right, you aren't the first person to call him "black". That doesn't change the fact that you and the other people calling him "black" are wrong.
