Which means it doesn't matter what the other side does - when you got one side giving all the free shit from the other side...it's all over...right? Don't matter what the talking heads are sayin' ... free Obama phone and what not... i voted for him because i hate you, your friends and anyone else you know with this mindset. i have won, the majority agree with me, by the rules of the jungle we call life, i win! you will never understand nor will the minority who side with you. find another country or take to the streets tonight and try to take this one back. So let's all refuse to work and demand our Obamaphones and then who is going to pay the bills? I am seriously not going to put forth much effort at all and see what free stuff I can get myself now that I understand this is how the game is played. That's why socialism never works. The other side also stops working. Brought down the USSR for sure. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |

metaball User ID: 19585674 United States 11/07/2012 02:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Romney is a Private Equity guy. He'd do to this country the same thing he's done with every other company he & his cronies have squeezed the life out of, outsource everything, layoff all the worker bees, saddle it with a mountain of debt, give himself & his buddies a fat bonus & then sell the crippled shell off to the next sucker in line to deal with. While Obama is also owned by banks, energy & military industrial complex, he's taken a less active role in collecting government incentives for liquidating healthy American companies & removing taxpayers from the system and sending their jobs overseas. I didn't vote for either of them. |

Gotta put on the brakes and bring an object in motion to a stop, before you can reverse course. *Obama withstood Israel pressure to have America attack Iran. *Obama saved General Motors (hence, tons of American jobs). *Obamacare, which passed the Congress, and was upheld by the Supreme Court. *Renewed the Bush tax cuts. *Finally put the gay in the military issue to rest by allowing them in the military. In short, Obama has done a lot of mopping up of problems that have plagued us for a while. Of course he's not a panacea. I don't agree with some of his policies. But I agree with much more than I thought I would when he started out. Keep in mind, too, that when you cut federal government bloated bureaucracy, you're going to have a LOT of people out of work. Add to that the fact that these newly out of work federal workers will find it very difficult to transition into working in the private sector, because the economy isn't doing great. So I'm not sure this would be a good time to drastically cut federal bureaucracy; at least not until the economy and private sector pick up, so they can help absorb those who will lose their jobs when the federal bureaucracy is cut. And I say this as a Ron Paul supporter who thinks the federal government should be cut drastically across the board (including defense).

Despite what the rabidly negative Republican talking heads say, Obama has governed as a moderate. Of course, much of that is due to the Republican Congress. But the fact remains, he hasn't governed as what one would call a "liberal". George W. Bush was at least as liberal. He more greatly expanded the size and scope of the federal government. The TSA and Homeland Security and the Patriot Act were created/enacted under Bush. Not to mention Bush giving $15 billion in aid to Africa (which, of course, goes directly into the coffers of the ruling dictators and very little is seen by the people over there). The Bush years destroyed the credibility of the modern-day Republican Party. Apollo astronauts couldn't have passed through Van Allen's Belt. Van Allen wore suspenders. |

It's hilarious watching racist rednecks get all pissed off. I'm a conservative Libertarian, but I almost wanna vote for Obama just because of how melodramatically mad it makes the Romney zombies, it's really funny seeing grown men throw temper tantrums kicking and screaming because they didn't get their way. Even though they prolly didn't do shit to get their guy in there, just showed up to vote once, and they're all surprised how that didn't instantly save America. Or they're all surprised the GOP set em up with a shitty candidate that can't win and deep down no one believed in that much, so there wasn't a lot they could do to spread the message or get people exited about their guy.

For these reasons and many others, I proudly voted him in for a second term. He earned it!! Thank you. And your story is actually one I expect is very much the same across the country. Unfortunately, the unemployment, I fear, is only going to get worse. Regardless, when half the country is trying to support the other half - of course, that can't work. What we really needed was to get this country BACK to work. Not enrolling in UI and Welfare. I also hear our servicement have been down-graded in their health benefits. Ask your son. It is huge. And disgustingly, our government's union workers received an Upgrade in their health care under Obama. I fear improvement and jobs growth will never happen now - at least for 4 more years. And then, my fear is, no matter what we try - it will be too late. I feel we lost our country tonight, our liberty, our freedom and ANY hope. I pray that I am dead wrong. Dead wrong. I'm so sad that my children and grand-children will live in a very, very different America because of the bribery of this current administration. Bribery works. It was proven tonight. 1. Your welcome. You did ask and I suspect you were looking for real and honest answers. 2. You're absolutely right! But the wound was gaping and a compression bandage needed to be applied while we wait for the stitching. I know...I lived it. 3. Give the man time...we're only at half time. The rest of the game has yet to be played;) 4. Of course there is no way for neither you nor I to know this for sure. However I was very surprised how divided this election showed this country to be tonight. I believe the fact that Romney is a Morman had a huge impact on those who might have supported him. Many evangelical Christians, see this religion as a type of cult. The fact he was part of this "cult" made them a little to uneasy. |

So I can pay for our dead-beats. So YOU don't have to pay. I get up 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, to work 9+ hour days...so I can support the other HALF of the country. On top of that my husband has been laid off - we have no food stamps, no unemployment, no government assistance. We take care of ourselves. I wish the rest would do the same. Nuff said. Had to share. Trying to be warm and fuzzy here, but not doing a great job of putting up with the idea I have to support those lying in bed every day, eating bon bons as I slave and toil and lose my edge - I may as well quit working too.
