I'm more depressed than ever.
What was I hoping for? I guess that every single person with an “R” next to their name would win.
Instead, I find that nearly half of our country still has its collective head up its butt, and has voted for a Democrat.
Two years ago, I can see a bunch of them hopping on the “hope and change” bandwagon. I don't agree with them, but I can *see* where scads of people would be fooled by a smooth talking young guy who had the (unspoken) promise of bringing both parties together and (by the very act of electing him) putting the racial divide in this country behind us forever.
Of course, he was a complete, abject disaster in every possible way.
The OTHER half of the country has no excuse now. They can't plead simple stupidity as the basis for their vote. They can't help but SEE America being destroyed by these Marxist pigs and they did NOTHING to stop it.. indeed, they came out and voted for the destroyers. NEARLY HALF OF OUR COUNTRY VOTED FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DESTROY IT.
And there's no arguing with them. So the “well, get ready for 2012!” slogan doesn't seem to mean anything. What are we supposed to do? Convince X amount of these fools to vote for Sarah Palin (or whatever conservative candidate we end up running)? Fat chance. If they didn't see the light NOW, with all that's wrong in America and with the direction the country is going, they never, ever, ever WILL.
So, half the country is lost. We are the UnUnited States, for sure, and I can't see what we can do about it. And I guess that's why I don't have much of a smile on my face this morning.
Over half of or country is in the wagon and pay no income taxes.
Woke up depressed --- some bright spots have been the MN house and senate going GOP and Oberstar going down in flames.
but other than that... I too was very surprised how many votes democraps got. Makes you wonder what the heck ever happened to this once great country.
“So, half the country is lost. We are the UnUnited States, for sure, and I can’t see what we can do about it”
No, “half the country” is NOT “lost”. They know EXACTLY what they want, and their voting reflects this.
You are completely right in your second sentence, though. But why do you hedge as to what the possible long-term solution could or might be?
What did the once-monolithic Soviet Union “do about it”?
“Can’t happen here”, many will say.
That’s what they said about _there_, too.
