It’s so much worse than you think.

I’m doing some polling for a PAC in my spare time. I just started yesterday. It goes something like this.

Me: Question 2, what’s your opinion on Obamacare
Them: Repeal it
Me: Question 3 what do you think of coal and natural gas in your state
Them: More please
Me: Question 5, Who are you likely to vote for
Them: Obama or not sure.

I’m really starting to become a misanthrope.

Romney needs to show an ad with him saving companies while Obama rode the Choom Bus. Too funny. Very good ad. Love it and love Allen West. A++++

Rain predicted, and the clouds and humidity are already here...

To achieve rhathymia today
We need some better news
And solutions from some people
With more realistic views

Than the current silly mantra
That has become the song
Of those who want to sit around
And get wasted with a bong

For all of the koolaid drinkers
On Obama’s downhill slide-
The trip may be nice-but look out
It’ll be an expensive ride...

I love the dogshaming site-I told my neighbor up the hill that she should put her Mastiff, Venus on it because every time I come up to the gate with a food item to barter or share, that dog knocks me aside, grabs the container with the stuff, and either scatters it or gobbles it up, depending on what it is. And no matter how sweet she is, there is no way in hell that I’m going to try to take something from the jaws of a Mastiff...

A+++ I hope we are singing “Happy Days are Here Again...” very soon as Obama and his MO fly off into the horizon to their Hawaiian digs come January.

I just can’t see how anyone who has seen Sandra Fluke or the Obama stash people would want to be voting for the same person those ignorant freeloaders do. They have to be recently arrived from outer Mongolia, or living in LaLa Land...
