The furious finish between President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney that captivated American voters late into Tuesday night wasn't what almost brought one Key West father to tears at the polls.

"We always come as a family to vote," said James Sutton, 52, leaving his polling spot at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center in Bahama Village on Tuesda...

The Hammer

must be a bit hung over these days. He got spanked hard on Tuesday and can't seem to get over his ass whipping. By the way, my union stood for a great livable wage, benefits, and a nice retirement. We always understood that it was the company that wrote the paychecks, but the union always told them how much to make it out for. Hope you have an enjoyable four years.

You a fool

Yeah, the union told them what to write the checks for because the company was money laundering for the mob. AS for hung over, nah, TheHammer only drinks the good stuff, stuff you cant even pronounce.

I just always wanted to vote for him

I just always wanted to vote for him, sounds like a typical Obama voter. I don't know why, just wanted to, I think Jay'Z said, I should or maybe it was the actress I like, she likes him. He is a construction worker, he will join a union soon and vote that way the rest of his life, unions= less work

The trolls' candidates got beat. Get over it

Hammer: You hateful troll! The American voters clearly rejected the policies and the politics of the republican right. Not only was President Obama reelected handily, with an Electoral College victory larger than that of Kennedy, Nixon, Carter, and George W. Bush (both elections) and a popular vote victory margin of millions of votes, the moderate center also added some stellar new Senators (bringing the number of women Senators to 20), picked up a few seats in the House, and won important ballot initiatives--including a remarkable 4-for-4 run on marriage equality questions.

calm down sweetheart

Your getting way to fired up for a lady, TheHammer dont like to upset the ladies, so I will make it short and sweet for you. The American people did not reject the policies of the right, they just voted for FREE. Kennedy? the Pope ran the damn country for him, Carter and Obama are one in the same. I wont even touch the marriage equality subject with a female. You have a good day

Be sure you let all the cops

Be sure you let all the cops and firefighters in unions know how "lazy" they are. You really are ignorant. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

There you go, sweating TheHammer

Let me share some insider info with you young buck, ask any cop or fireman who is retired or approaching retirement and they will tell you the union is terrible, the young bucks use the union as a way to avoid work.

Many people in my family are

Many people in my family are cops and firefighters and thank heaven for the union every time they cash a pension check. Shut up already hammer, you obviously don't know what you are talking about and the more you post, the more ignorant you look. My guess is you are an old white guy cashing your Government Checks sorry that life (and the country) have passed you by. Go watch Hannity so can memorize the going forward talking points. Loser.

Did TheHammer strike a nerve

Did TheHammer make you mad, the truth stings dosent it. You are right, TheHammer is white, not old and certainly not living off the Govt. TheHammer could buy and sell you many times over, TheHammer isnt renting his house in Key West or living with 5 guys to afford it, like you. Well, TheHammer is off to his winter home, you have been a great source of fun the last few weeks, until next spring, take care. P.S. Find a bettter job and you wont need 0bama. * And like that, TheHammer was gone...

Good news: the hammer is

Good news: the hammer is gone! I doubt you can buy or sell me many times over since I have more money then I know what to do with, but unlike you, I still care about other people. Good riddance. Enjoy the Glen Beck summer camp where you can practice your hate and misery with other like minded losers. Bye bye!

Great.

Now go clean up all your damn signs.

What an inappropriate, bitter comment.

Submitted on Thu, 11/08/2012 - 10:23am by *.* CLEARLY the original
Perhaps you're on the wrong thread.

It's not inappropriate

If you read my post before you start screaming like atypical lib you would comprehend what I wrote. I think the story in the first couple paragraphs is great, heart- warming, even. But the last paragraph, I just always wanted to vote for him, why? voting is a responsibilty, you should know why your making that choice. Dont correct TheHammer anymore

It was me.

Hammer, it was my post that was being flamed, complaining about campaign signs. But either way, my point was lost on him also.
