People are angry and looking for someone to blame. I was treated pretty rudely because I cast my NYS throwaway vote for president for a third party candidate as a protest vote.
No way obama was not taking NY. It's to heavily blue and I'm used to my vote for president never counting so I had that luxury. And I still got shredded for it.
People who weren't prepared and were whining because Uncle Handout didn't come through as they expected or demanded have no one to blame but themselves, but only in regard to not preparing, not simply because they live in a blue state which somehow means to some that they *deserved* it.
What many people either forget or don't know is that God has established all authority on the earth. If obama got re-elected, there IS a purpose for it, it was no surprise to God and He can use even that for our ultimate good, if we let Him.
I understand about your vote, not you being attacked though.. Romney had a chance here in VA - so while he wasn’t my first choice, he did get my vote.
What I didn’t understand was the attacks on folks like me who were just reporting conditions in our neck of the woods. Being told I was shilling for an Obama government agency as I was watching the water creep closer to the house than it ever has before was not exactly something I took kindly to and that was before the worst of the storm had yet to hit us and was just starting to pound the Jersey Shore. It was ugly and hurtful and so totally uncalled for.
I hope you are having a blessed Thanksgiving.
