With regard to the election tommorow I will say it again:
All of us are held to certain level of accountability by our employers, clients, customers, etc to where if we screw up and do not perform as promised when we were hired, we are FIRED. Our jobs and services, while important of course, are far less important and consequential than who runs the nation and makes decisions literally of life and death.
Why would anyone in any good conscience ever think to hold the POTUS of the USA to a lesser standard of accountability than we are every day for a job far more important and meaningful?
If any of us performed so poorly relative to the promises we made to our clients and employer as Obama has to us taxpayers relatuives to the promises he made in 2008, we would be fired on the spot and shown the door. Its not a matter of emotions, likability, symbolism, or anything else, just sheer fact. Whether its the debt, deficit, ObamaCare, transparency, corruption, etc - the list of broken promises is longer than the phone book.
Now - as far as Romney goes, he was not my first choice and will probably dissappoint us too. I'm not emotionally invested in these politicians like people were in 2008 to where they would sell their kids' kindneys and organs to get obama elected, but considering Obama thinks he has done a good job, as ludicrous and insane as that it is, and is promising more of the same crap over the next 4 years, I'm ready for change with eyes wide open.
That is an excellent analogy. Perfect fodder for a Romney commercial.
I live here and these same delusional liberal, communist, leftist failures are simply not able to connect dots.
They are emotionally driven and mortally corrupted by the MSM media complex.
Name one job that Barack Hussein Obama would be qualified to do in your company if he applied for work there. I can not come up with a single one.
Gonna be a busy night for suicide hotlines and mental health counselors. I expect King Barry to be among their clients.
True
You have Liberal friends? Why?
Logic won’t get them out of a position logic didn’t get them into.
A lot of them actually think The Won has been doing a splendid job - either they heartily agree with his plan to destroy the country, or they enjoy getting their free Obamaphone.
From childhood. Not easy, but we are parting ways slowly.
These people frighten me as far as how ignorant and uninformed they are.
Remind them that future hopes for a peaceful transition of power require two things:
- Legitimate and fair elections
- The willingness of people to live by the vote of the majority
Past history does not guarantee future behavior. American conservatives were surprised and taken off guard by the behavior of liberals during Bush v Gore. We will not be surprised again.

I never use the words “liberal” and “friends” in the same sentence.

To me, obama is rat turd and a commusit traitor, as are those voting for him.”
...I could’nt agree more. I’ve never forgiven the people in my circle that went for him in ‘08. I just can’t find it in me. I also don’t subscribe to this “oh they’re just misinformed, they mean well” BS.
Agreed. I have relatives like that. You try to engage in a reasoned dialog and they simply parrot their pet phrases to annoy you...with a stupid grin on their faces.
"Why do you need a gun?
"Bush lied and people died."
"There were no weapons of mass destruction."
"Republicans are such racists."
I simply avoid political discussions in their presence. It's healthier that way. For them.
Will I go to hell if I pray princeofdarkness is right?
LOL! Totally agree. Many of us have that 5% issue.
I have not forgiven them either. I can understand 2008 a little if you are a die hard anti-bush fanatic leftist - but anyone else? Hell no!
I got in a facebook argument w my HS history teacher who was trying to get me to explain my need for a semi auto AR. I gave the many arguments and at the end of the day said “Its legal, deal with it”
Anyway , this clown was bragging about how he bought a BMW Z4 that tops out at 165mph.
I asked him why he needs a car that does 3 times the legal speed limit and whether having such capability at his hands considering he is not trained to drive 165mph presents a risk to the public?
Fit of rage and defriending ensued. LOL. Its just too FNG easy to destroy these idiot leftists at their own games.
