And since when are we ever happy?

The number of Americans satisfied with the country’s direction has nearly tripled over the past year, but a majority of them remain upset with where the United States is headed, according to a poll released Wednesday.
Three-in-ten Americans, or 30 percent, are very satisfied or somewhat satisfied, a Gallup poll found. That number is dwarfed by the 68 percent who are unhappy, including 41 percent who described themselves as very dissatisfied.

Nothing could be sillier than claiming to be a conservative while supporting liberals.
This coming from some one who couldn’t win for dog catcher in your local area.......
Who are these 32% who think we are headed in the right direction? Our embassies are in flames; nearly 400,000 people lost there jobs just LAST week, 23 million people are unemployed, 45 million people are on food stamps; gas prices at an all time high; medicare and SS are nearing bankruptcy; we are 16 Trillion in debt; the fed is printing money and the dollar is in freefall; inflation is on the rise; we are on the brink of another world war in the middle east etc, etc.
32% think we are headed in the right direction?????? Who the F@!K are these people????? Pretty scary.
The argument for those 32% is “You may hate Obama but you’ll REALLY hate Romney”.Some will buy that argument, some will not but that’s the crux of the argument.
The choices will be:
Tom Hoefling, [me] a pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-border security, pro-Constitution, peace through strength Reagan conservative.
Barack Obama, the most liberal [alleged] president in history.
Mitt Romney, the most liberal governor in history, a candidate who has already quite obviously ceded California's electoral votes to Obama.
Rosanne Barr, a crazed leftist.
Gary Johnson, a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, isolationist Libertarian.
So, in addition to telling us who you would vote for with such choices, please explain how it is "silly" for a conservative to vote for me.
*Jim, I pinged you to this exchange because you're an influential citizen of the great state of California.
The argument being made to them is “It’s bad now but it’ll be worse with Romney”. That’s why the libs are not touting their record, such as it is. They know they cannot make Obama look good enough to win votes. Instead, they need to make Romney look bad enough that Obama looks like the better option in comparison.
Three-in-ten Americans, or 30 percent, are very satisfied with being on welfare.
All play and no work paid for by the worker bees.
...and still Obama leads in almost every poll including Gallup...
Good to see some sanity. I’m in the same situation myself. Good luck sir.!
Yet the polls would have us believe that the Liberal Messiah and Romney are essentially tied. If 68% believe the country is going in the wrong direction, then Romney will easily win in November. Either this poll or the Presidential polls are wrong. I'm guessing the latter.
A Liberal Jew is just a Liberal. A Liberal Catholic is just a Liberal. A Liberal man is just a Liberal. A Liberal woman is just a Liberal. To a Liberal, only Liberalism matters; all else is secondary or irrelevant.
FYI, in consideration of your tagline:
I’m also a registered write in candidate in the great state of Texas.
That says all Romney has to really do is convince the public that he can feed and dress himself...
And all liberals are communists.
And many of those who disapproved of Bush thought he was not conservative enough, (like me.)
And since when are we ever happy?
I'm guessing at least 50%, maybe more of that 32% are getting "free money" and as far as they're concerned, it's never been better for them.

They just get to bang on the drum all day.
The 68% who think America is on the wrong track will feel much better after Obama puts them on meds in some socialist retraining camp now awaiting malcontents.
Exactly!
