Swing State?


So taking a look at the picture above, you all are wondering...hey GSG that is not the whole United States of America! You would be right if it wasn't an election year. Apparently the other 49 states don't matter...so much for California or even the great countr...or I mean state of Texas they are both unimportant just like most of the states in the south are. Sure they might have nice weather, beaches and great BBQ but they do not have the power to influence a presidental election like O-H-I-O We live in the best state in the land...we just also happen to have the best damn band in the land to *see Ohio State*. Anyway we live in a swing state...whats a swing state you ask. Well I googled it and here is what it says.

swing state
nounswing states, plural
  1. A marginal US state where voters are liable to swing from one political party to another, important in determining the overall result of an election

 
All you have to do is google "Why is Ohio so important" and BOOM you will be dropped with a crap load of information as to why the state is so important. Here is a break down of all the electoral votes for each state.
 
California - 55-
Texas - 38
New York - 29
Florida - 29
Illinois - 20
Pennsylvania - 20
Ohio - 18- MAN a massiave 18 votes! Hey...did you guys see Michigan? Those losers up north only have 16! We are always better then them...amazing.
Michigan - 16
Georgia - 16
North Carolina - 15
New Jersey - 14
Virginia - 13
Washington - 12
Massachusetts - 11
Indiana - 11
Tennessee - 11
Arizona - 11
Missouri - 10
Maryland - 10
Minnesota - 10
Wisconsin - 10
Alabama - 9
Colorado - 9
South Carolina - 9
Louisiana - 8
Kentucky - 8
Connecticut - 7
Oklahoma - 7
Oregon - 7
Iowa - 6
Arkansas - 6
Kansas - 6
Mississippi - 6
Nevada - 6
Utah - 6
Nebraska - 5
New Mexico - 5
West Virginia - 5
Hawaii - 4
Idaho - 4
Maine - 4
New Hampshire - 4
Rhode Island - 4
Alaska - 3
Delaware - 3
District Of Columbia - 3
Montana - 3
North Dakota - 3
South Dakota - 3
Vermont - 3
Wyoming - 3

So since we live in SUCH an important state...why haven't we been promised more? I mean forget all the campaign BS. I want to be bribed, SHOW ME THE MONEY! I mean our state has such power we should use it! Maybe negotiate a way to make our state bigger to get even more votes! I mean they could throw in West Virginia or Kentucky and I doubt people would even notice. Or maybe get rid of the tax on gas for just our state? It would drop it like twenty cents. I know it's asking a lot but why not use the power when we have it. Whoever wants the office of President will have to sweeten the pot for this Ohioan!

This is probable the most boring post I have ever done. I mean does anyone really care about this? All I know is Obama has a small lead in Ohio and if that's the case it looks like it's four more years of ducking tough decisions and promoting change we can believe in and move forward with instead of caring about are Nation.

Fake Debate Recap 2 or 3?

Who is this Code Red?!

Hello GSG Nation! I have been invited to share the golden typewriter that must be used any time one addresses this great gathering of minds. My name is Code Red, and I'm slightly to the left on the US political scale when compared to GSG. Enough of that - I'm sure you are dying to hear the debate recap.

Woah, woah...woah! I'm not sure I feel comfortable with someone who is named "Code Red" filling in for me because I was watching a football game. I mean are you a communist?! This is ridiculous! Where is my agent...

This moderator was so biased to the political right. He lobs a softball to Romney to start things off - Libya. Romney doesn't even swing. Just lets if float by, saying that the middle east is in turmoil and we need to seek peace there. No one even mentioned Bengazi... Thankfully! He lets Obama talk about how it's important to be clear and not send mixed messages. Again, Romney just let's that sail right down the middle of the plate without moving his bat. I'm starting to think Romney may not be so bad.

Hey did you know that this was probable the worst Monday night football game ever?  Still more Americans will watch it because no one cares about Foreign policy until they attack our homeland. By homeland I mean American soil on the North American Continent.

For the next hour or so, Romney just agreed with everything Obama has done as president concerning foreign policy. Seriously. Obama had a great line about how Romney's Foreign policy is from the 80s, his social policy is from the 50s and his economic policy is from the 20s. He even told Romney "The 1980s called, and they want their foreign policy back." I wanted to tell him, "I love you, but the 1980s called and they want their top insult back." Seriously, for the coolest president we have ever had to resort to ancient insults like that, he must be really desperate. Maybe he's reaching out to the key 60year old women with fluffy bangs demographic, though.

Oh they could have totally stated singing Culture Club! "Do you really wanna hurt me?! Do you really want to make me cry! Precious kissing are a virtue! Lovers never ask you why!"... What?!!?! I had a new wave faze leave me alone!

Finally they came to Russia. Obama wants to make out with Putin. Says he'll be more flexible for Russia's demands. Romney the warmonger finally shows up and says, "I won't give him more flexibility, I'll give him more backbone"

"That's what she said!" *sorry I had to...I mean Obama went all 80s so I had to go 2000s*

All in all this was a terrible debate. It was more like a minor negotiation over who is going to pick up the tab after a meal with friends. No, please, let me do that. No, really, I'll pay this time. Blah. I thought there was a difference between these two candidates.

"By the way you still owe me breakfest CR!"

The Fake Debate Recap!

The Fake debate recap!
Hello! Once again GSG nation! (that beginning maybe a little arrogant on my part thinking that the one person who reads this is a nation...) The 2nd presidential debate is over and wow what a debate it was. How people can get all into this and worked up over a debate is beyond me. I guess it takes a special person to sit there and listen to both parties. Between Romney's whining for more time and Obama giving the moderator a stare down if he didn't get enough time! It made for a epic debate! I mean one that we will talk about for ages...or well until the next one. Since we as a country have the attention span of about...What was I typing?? Oh right, the debate!
 
I didn't catch the very first part of it, but I guess all I missed was the handshake. The first thing I remember was...dang it what was it. Oh yeah middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class middle class. It was truly, truly amazing! Here's what both parties had to say *in my own words*
 
Romney: I want more time!
 
Obama: *stern look to Candy*
 
Candy: *throws candy wrapper away* No Mr. Romney your time is up!
 
Romney: But...but!
 
Obama: *Smirks but mouths to Candy she has some chocolate on her face*
 
Candy: *mouths thank you and blows a kiss to the president* Okay moving on!
 
I'm pretty sure if you re-watch the video that's how it happened. 
 
Anyway! Next thing I remember is! Something about Gas, Oil and other types of energy. Here's how it went down!
 
Romney: When Obama took office Gas prices were $1.86 a gallon but now it's four dollars.
 
Obama: Well it's because we were in a bad economic time, that's why it was a $1.86 a gallon and now that we are out of the recession and everybody is working again it's up to four gallons.
 
Romney: *mouth hanging wide open because that made no sense*
 
GSG: *yes I was at the debate* That's total BS. So when the economy was bad we paid less and now that it's still bad we pay more? Wow thank you Mr. President for explaining it to us that way!
 
Candy: Cheeseburge...I mean moving on. Next question!
 
Now onto the Libya attacks, which happened at a US Embassy which are considered US SOIL.
 
Obama: I called it an act of terror
 
Romney: No you didn't you said any acts of terror in against this country will not be tolerated. You and your administration are morons.
 
Candy: He did say it was an act of terror
 
Obama: Say it louder baby! Big daddy Barrack is bringing this debate home! And I find it offensive that you would think our administration would mis-inform the public
 
GSG: I find it offensive that Libya isn't a parking lot for killing four United State citizens and attacking American Soil *wish Romney would have said that*
 
Candy: Get this guy out of here! He is stealing the spot light from me! Also bring me a milkshake stat!! Also...moving on a lot of people are goingto be upset with me if I don't move this train along. Cause I'm the important one here...not you two mor..I mean guys.
 
Okay and we are out of time for this recap!
 
Romney: No! NO! Don't turn it off I'm not done yet! I need more time!
 
Obama: It's okay I'm use to being interuppted. *Gives Michelle a wink*
 
Candy: No, I will say it's over when it's over! Not some guy who thinks he is cool and goes by the persona GSG! I will not be out done! *jumps on her debate desk and does the macarena!* See SEE LOOK AT ME!
 
GSG: Thank you and good night
