Almost all of my friends are Democrats; all of them voted for Barack Obama in 2008. Ask them these days, as I have, if they plan to vote for Obama this November, and theyll give you an Oh shucks sad smile, look down, look back up with guilty eyes and say Im disappointed. Im talking about a good number of intelligent, caring, middle-class Democrats who are a soft nudge away from casting their vote for Romney. All they need to know is that theyre not alone.
In 1980, Carter treated Reagan as a ridiculous figure who, among other things, was ignorant of details of nuclear-weapons policy. Reagan cheerfully promised economic growth and asked Democrats, Are you better off than you were four years ago? In the end, Reagan proved that good-natured conservatism could win by huge margins. But a lot of credit for the win must go to Democrats for Reagan.
Heres an example of a commercial that would win Democratic votes for Mitt Romney: A man, about 40, is sitting in his living room with his wife and kids seated next to him. He looks into the camera and says: Ive voted Democratic all my life. In 2008 I voted for Barack Obama. It was a vote I am proud of. I wanted to be part of the generation that voted a black man into the presidency of the United States. It was the right vote for the right reason. But, sadly, it was for the wrong man. I dont think this country can survive four more years of Barack Obama as president. I know my family cant. I lost my job two years ago, and I fear Im going to lose my house. Mitt Romney has the business experience to bring back our economy. He has my vote.

This is just a very diplomatic way of telling these race card Democrats that their party served up a real turkey in the purported name of atoning for America’s racial sins. Three years ago I was saying that 90% of the black people in the phone book would be able to do a better job in the White House than this very special Barack Obama who was raised up to be a puppet of a gaggle of socialist special interests.
What does it profit a man if he treats a prodigal like the older brother?
Or perhaps - he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Sheesh - if someone starts to see the light - but doesn't see it all at a speed that is acceptable to YOU - we should take away the light. Am I reading you correctly?
You epitomize - "first, remove the log from you own eye..."
Glad to see that Jerry “ From Those Wonderful Folks Who Gave You Pearl Harbor” Della Famina is still kicking.
I can guarantee you it's a lot more than two. You mentioned earlier that. I dont know who the owner of this board is voting for or not voting for, I can tell you one thing, it won't be Romney.
Well now, that's at least 4 of us in that "lonely world" you mentioned. There must be a couple of others around here somewhere.
We are losing our country to godless socialism and what does the GOP do? Run an abortionist/homosexualist statist whose socialist RomneyCare program was the blueprint and impetus for ObamaCare! Screw that!! Ill vote for the GOPs candidate for the presidency when they run a CONSERVATIVE!! Otherwise, to hell with them!! The GOP is fast cementing their place as part of the problem! Wake up America!!
No I will not vote for an abortionist for president. Period. Its no secret. Ive been posting that I will not vote for Rudy/Romney abortionist for many years.

Romney does not qualify on any count!

Thank you so much for your Post #42. Very well articulated.
Well, if New York liberals are backing away from Zippy, it means something very significant: He’s toast in the New South.

Good point. I didn’t make the connection. Thanks.
I have no idea how anyone could vote for Obama. There was too much known. Did these folks seriously think he was going to be a pro-American strong defense figure?
The guy was clearly an enemy of the state.
The best defense for an idiot that voted for him, is to now be quiet and hope folks never find out.
Thank God I will never have that on my conscience.
I was amazed and heartened: that list is now nine shy of 300 FReepers, exceeding my expecations nearly five-fold, and considering that I haven't updated it for several weeks, odds are that the REAL number is closer to 400. Still, a minority, but hardly the paltry few you imagine.
