What does any of this have to do with a thread about 2012?

Maybe you need to fall back and research the meaning of reading comprehension  ::)

I'm thinking he must be a republican because I'm seeing the same tone on FB from the Romeny supporters.

Does anyone know how the gay marriage elections are going? 

Early returns here in Washington State currently have the NO's ahead of the YES

I'm hoping those results are still early. :-(

You have so much trouble understanding basic english, perhaps you should let the grown ups talk.

I fail to comprehend why a person with HIV would vote for a man who presents such a clear and present danger to HIV research, providing meds to those who need them, women's reproductive rights, and marriage equality.

"Many people, especially in the gay community, turn to oral sex as a safer alternative in the age of AIDS. And with HIV rates rising, people need to remember that oral sex is safer sex. It's a reasonable alternative."

My crapping stopped by 2 am or so, but your body still thinks it wants to shit and when you try to go either nothing comes out or so little it wasn't worth it. Then when I finally tried to sleep my stomach was making so much noise every five minutes it was impossible. I think I finally slept for 1.5 hours :(

That is where I am at now.... feels like I have to run to the bathroom to go - but then don't have to or very little.

And I am starving - I haven't eaten since 10:30 last night (Monday), because I couldn't eat any solids after midnight last night..... My procedure isn't until 11:30, so by the time I am done, I will have gone about 39 hours without solid food --- needless to say, I will be taking my doped up ass to somewhere to eat as soon as I leave the hospital.

Mine was around the same time as yours will be. I'd advise that after going that long without food that, regardless of the temptation, not to throw back a Five Guys meal.

I agree.... that probably wouldn't go over well at all...
I think I will go somewhere that I can have an appetizer, a salad, and a lite lunch entree.
Thanks for the reminder - because it now comes back to me that last time I had this done I was a bit "gassy" afterwards....

Gay marriage is also passing in Washington state, the race hasn't been called yet but it's ahead 3 points right now.
Marijuana legalization won in Washington by a pretty big margin almost 10 points so that has been called.  It was called in Colorado also.

Marijuana legalization failed to pass in Oregon :-(

Alan Grayson is coming back to Congress.  And, I'm so glad Tammy Duckworth won.  And, an openly gay woman for Senate won.  Wow!  Michelle Bauchman may go down tonight.  The race is very, very tight--as tight as the asses her husband loves.  Wait, he seems more like a bottom.

I think he's definitely going to win Virginia and Florida -- they're at 97% reporting right now. That would put him at 332 electoral votes, plus Nevada's six for final total of 338 to Romney's 203.

edit: some places just called Virginia for Obama
