I have cut off all ties to my liberal friends except two. The only way we've remained friends the last four years is to not talk politics because when the least casual political topic arose, we would end up not speaking to each other for weeks. These two are as extreme left-wing as anyone can be. They are extreme morons politically.
The only reason I continued the relationship is that they are good people. I have always believed that they *think* they are left-wingers out of ignorance and possibly are one issue voters as they are two women living together for the last 25 years. If they could just be shown the light, they would vote differently. Perhaps I rationalized the relationship, but they have been good friends to me over the years. The help you bury the bodies type of friends.
They started a food trailer business with $20K seed money from a Conservative. They have since borrowed $2K from a Conservative sister and I have given them $10K. With the economy as it is, it has been a struggle for them.
They admitted tonight that they applied for all the various small business help they thought the Democrats would give them. The only people that helped them were we three Conservatives. Since they believed that Conservatives only cared about themselves and Democrats helped one another, it was a rude awakening. Last week they said they could not in good conscience negate the votes of those that helped them. They decided to stay home on election day.
Tonight they announced they have seen the light. The economy that they had stated in the past was fine, is killing them. They need the economy improved and the kicker... they need less government involvement in their business to succeed! They are voting for Romney on Nov 6.
It has renewed my faith in Americans. If these two are voting for Romney, he should win in a landslide.
Thanks! one can only hope for my lib relatives :)
Watched Romney in Ohio & am very optimistic about Pres. Romney. Super Tuesday, here we come!!
Here’s to hoping on Tues it’s pie all around for Romney supporters!!!
It’s a Trick!
Just a thought. If we give up on those that are 'right' of center, who will a right of center majority come about? Of course, how does the Country overcome what is going on in CA KA, IL, NY, MA?
should be a ‘how will a right of center majority come about’ instead of ‘who will a right of center majority come about’
“...how does the Country overcome what is going on in CA KA, IL, NY, MA?”
You’re about to witness that on Tues. The good thing about the zombie recipients of liberal benevolence is that they don’t care where the money’s coming from. If they have jobs instead of welfare they don’t care. There’ll be jobs.
Another thing these polls did not take into consideration are all the moderate Dems who are abandoning Obama. It will be a landslide.
98/02 % split will vote anti-socialist, NO on judicial retentions, and most will vote No on the pure BS State Constitional ammendements.
No marketing money needed to influence them.
Just us people, talking amongst ourselves, about our “leaders”.
My very Lib sister in New Mexico finally threw in the towel, and early voted for Gary Johnson. Couldn’t get her to go for Romney, but at least she didn’t vote for her former messiah.
How do you do it? all the libs I talk with just flat out will not listen. always turns into an argument
A conservative has been defined as a liberal who has been mugged. Once mugged, you can't be "un-mugged".
I am a strong conservative Republican who happens to be a teacher. Our state currently has a proposal which would enshrine collective bargaining rights in our state constitution. I am against it and am actively working against it's passage even though, without its passage, my personal livelihood will likely be devastated because our governor signed some very restrictive laws designed to break the teacher unions in the state. But enshrining this into our constitution will devastate our state and preserving freedom is what matters.
I think this illustrates a fundamental difference between liberals and conservatives.
I just got laid off, for the second time in three and a half years. Too bad the Obama regime never saw any revenues from my business.
Thanks for posting your great story.
Good news! Thanks for your post. Very encouraging going into this coming Tuesday. I wish your friends well in their business!
It’s from Citizens United.
I’ve always said that the best way to create a conservative is to have a liberal start a small business.
Like my grandfather always said: "My job is to sell worms, if they can't catch the fish that's their problem..."
In other words, you got their vote so be happy with that....
