I applaud the good people of Whitehall who had the sense to vote for a man with so many great qualities and who, so many of us out here, believe would have made a great president. I live in Baldwin Township and I educated myself and did not vote for Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 and, since he did nothing to give me any good reason to vote for him now, I absolutely did not vote for him now.

The country is not in good shape. Unemployment is high. Gas prices are doubled (and yes I know that presidents have nothing to do with the price of gas ... tell that to President Bush, who everyone blamed for the price when it spiked while he was in office). With regard to Obamacare, weren't we all told that healthcare is going to be more affordable? Really? My husband's employer has already sent notice of a huge increase in our premium and, yes, we do pay a large percentage of the premium right now. In addition, the cost of everything in that plan is doubling as of January 1, 2013 according to our notification. Yet, my husband's pay has not and is not increasing. Sit back and watch what happens to your healthcare, that is, unless you are one of many welfare recipients or on SS disability (as so many have gotten on after not being able to find employment).

Like all of you out there who had "hope and change" back in 08 I am one of many who prayed for the change we so desperately need in this country. This man has plans for us ... and they are not to help this country.

Of course,because look at what democrats did to Green Meadows (turning it section 8) and Prospect Park!! Now everyone's property values are down in the area.

Green Meadows or Baldwin court has been like that for decades..hell when i was in high school back in the 80's i knew not to buy a house around there..or Prospect park...not like that just happened the past 4 years LOL

and as for a man with great qualities, last time i checked lying isnt one of them..

Yes, but thank goodness it wasn't up to the people of Whitehall and that we will move forward, look out for those in need , accept those who are not conservative and white as being a part of the fabric of America, will remain a democracy rather than a theocracy as intended by our founders and not be heading into a war with Iran. Please, let's pipe down with all of the negative, hate-filled rhetoric and let's try to move forward together. This hate -filled, vitiolic speech has spread through this country like a cancer thanks to the Tea Party and nothing positive has come from it......only divisiveness. We aren't going back to the 50's. Women, people of color, immigrants, people of different sexual orientations and religions all have a voice in this country and deserve to be heard. Bullying and name calling only brings us down. We were given arms to hold each other up, not push each other down.

We had 2 write-ins for "Jesus" =) where I was on the Election Board and also several other write-ins, which I believe reflects the unhappiness of many people. @ Michelle Gianni, Green Meadows (Now The Residences of South Hills) say they no longer accept section 8, However their cheap renovations and ruse of "cleaning the place up" (they also rasied the rents which you'd think would change the residents demograpgic) lured me to move here while I looked for a house to buy. It's all lies, it's terrible here. Among other multiple and serious issues, I had young kids (12 ish) lighting fires outside of my building and managent doesn't seem to care. I've been here 2 months and have already given notice that I am breaking my lease. Also, HUD has quietly purchased many properties throughout Baldwin Borough (a lot around the Churview Road Area) in the last 2 years which is lowering property values (because they are considered "rentals"). My last comment is; The Electorial College needs to be eliminated. It was designed for a different era and does not seem to acurately represent the peoples vote in today's day and age.

I agree. The popular vote was virtually tied. The electoral college is a good 'ol boy system rampant with bribes and corruption. And Pleasant Hills Presby church tried sliding in a homeless shelter up the road from me. We stopped that-FAST. The government is intent on lowering the class of Americans and browbeating the rich- you know, the people who CREATE jobs. It does'nt stop THEM from wearing thousand dollar sneaker to a homeless shelter/five thousand dollar purse to a charity meeting/jaunts on AirForceOne with the peeps [The Missus]; almost two hundred golf outings/Wednesday dinners every week at OUR White House with celebrities,consuming thousands of dollars of Kobe beef and Dom Perignon-and let's not forget the countless visits to Hawaii and Martha's vineyard.[Both].

TYPICAL Communists

I agree with "IDidNotVoteForASocialist!" Well put! Bracing down and hoping I can survive another 4 years!

If it Were Up to Whitehall, Mitt Romney Would Be President
But it's not.
Democrat Barack Obama won the national vote on Tuesday, and he won in Pennsylvania.

bonita veraldi
The popular vote was virtually tied.

No, bonita.

Popular vote
OBAMA 61,128,734 Romney 58,138,521
by comparison
in 2000's POPULAR VOTE:
Bush 50,456,002
Al Gore 50,999,897

Difference of almost 3,000,000 votes is not a tie either.

bonita: The electoral college is a good 'ol boy system rampant with bribes and corruption.

But it was good enough for ya in 2000, right?

Nukidontheblock is out of mommy's basement ! Unlike you Liberals,I am not two-faced-have ALWAYS been for the popular vote,even if it meant the other side wins. This electoral college stuff is rife with corruption. Probably why YOUR party like it,LilKim The Florida vote was within plus/minus of 3 points- a virtual TIE, so wrong AGAIN, NUskinajar.

Nukidontheblock, NUskinajar.

??? Are you nuts or are you just trying to play a nut on this forum?

Don't tell me the Florida vote was this or that, you SAID the Popular vote was a tie, and I showed you that it was NOT, Obama won by almost 3 MILLION VOTES.
THAT is no tie, bonitaveritaconchitamojita.
LOL

It's going to go one of two ways.
1) Obama will be so concerned with his "legacy" that he might consider compromising. (Say a prayer this is the case), or
2) He will go harder left. In this case our country will be forever diminished. (Again, say a prayer...)

Lmao....

The comment above about how US is a republic and not a democracy is such a misconstrued and simply...a wrong statement. I had this conversation w some republican folks in my office and I had to reeducate them on this. Also -FYI don't bother googling it and try to explain why this statement is right because the first hundred searches are all biased viewpoints....all one needs to do I look at the history and evolution of both words.

The truth and the fact is that US is both a republic ("democratic republic") as a form of government and a democracy ("representative democracy or liberal democracy") as a system of government. In its original definition, republic only means "non monarch" and democracy only means "government by the people". Many republicans are mistaken in the meanings of both words and is understandably so. Only after two Supreme Court hearings in the late 1800s did the word "republic" as used in the context of the Constitution include "equal rights of citizens" and "right of the people to choose their government" in the definition.

Democracy has been a loosely used word through your history first used to define "pure democracy" or "direct democracy" in the 1600 to late 1700s, and more commonly used to describe "liberal democracy" or "representative democracy in 1800s to present day times".

So the correct answer is that we are both a republic and a democracy.... Don't let crazy fools believe you otherwise!!!

Thank you Mas and NE12Ukid for the voice of sweet reason.

Well,cc-Obama got what he wanted-the moron vote. And we,among the other half of this great country, will just have to stand together to defend it against this community organizer and his gang of thugs. Hang in there, patriot.
To the other half of you-Lenin was right-, you ARE "useful idiots".

Get over it bonita. The better candidate, with the better organization, with the better message, with a better understanding of the changing demographics won. I educated myself every bit as much as you and I made my choice just like you. But unlike you I don't have to resort to name calling to make myself feel better.

Seems both bonita and her shadow cc get their jollies calling anyone who disagrees with them "moron".
Brian, I'd bet their constant name calling doesn't even make them feel better, they're always whining about everything. Seems NOTHING makes these two happy.
Wonder if they heard Newt Gingrich today, saying pretty much what you said, Brian, about better candidate, with the better organization, with the better message, with a better understanding of the changing demographics .

I’m speechless bonita. You’re arguments are overwhelming and I realize now I have been sorely misled. Mom and Dad, if you’re reading this how could you have led me so astray? You told me one of my primary responsibilities as a US citizen was to research issues and make defensible arguments based on fact in a respectful manner, and now I’ve gone and told my kids the same thing! The truth I now see is that reason, logic, and respect have no place in US political arguments anymore. Our founding fathers, who based our whole form of government on these ideas taken from the ancient Greeks, pulled the wool over our eyes. Thank God for 21st sages such as you bonita who have enlightened us to the truth that he who can cram the most names, labels, and absurd statements into one paragraph wins. I concede!

Nukid- And I see AGAIN,the hypocrisy and arrogance of the Left in their divisive thinking that they are the only ones permitted to name-call,to claim the info put forth by the Right can't be facts because it does'nt follow THEIR Leftist mindset.
So,if you honestly think that the Right is going to continue to take this double standard crap from B.O. idealogues,especially examples like you with the moronic post name and the bizarre HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,-

Let the games begin.

Nukid- My opinion of you still stands.Your opinion of me means nothing.
