What is everyone hearing around the office regarding the election? I mean, particularly among liberals and independents. We all obviously know what conservatives are saying.
At my office, I've noticed the liberals are very quiet (except when whispering among themselves), and the independents hate Obama.
Hard to tell. Can you get a little closer to the computer?
I DID get laid off today after 5 years of giving my blood, sweat, and tears (well, not really) to those bass turds.
No longer in the 53%, so I should probably change my tagline.
***** “Political talk is not allowed.” *****
I received that memo and sent another one back ...
“I spent 28 years in Uniform to protect your Free Speech, I filed your Suggestion in the proper receptacle”
We had a meeting shortly thereafter and told them they could fire me and then speak to my Lawyer... that was in 2007... now I get Steaks UPS’d to my house once a month from the same people.

It’s where you keep all the ammo...
And risk putting a run in my nylons????
Like a bicycle you have to keep the wheels turning ... don’t slow down hit that job market like Laz would hit (well just about anything)

My contract’s pretty specific. We have all been instructed by the diocese that we cannot vote for Obama because of his support for homosexuality and Obamacare. Our school will shut down the day that Obamacare gets enacted.
The problem is that Romney’s in the same camp. So I feel the only correct vote I can make, as a Catholic, is to vote for Goode. I don’t trust Romney to overturn Obamacare. I expect him to turn around if elected and enact it anyways.
Our last real hope for the next four years was Justice Roberts, and even he crumbled. Now, we have to hope for the Texas AG to play rope-a-dope - fight for the House and the Senate this election and hamstring Obama. Then in 2016, we nominate a social conservative and we go from there.
I work for the government.
But we can talk about our Christian faith all day long.
“That’s the kind of nonsense that will get us 4 more years of Obama and kill our country. Tell them thanks a lot.”
Well, we’re plain tired of hearing promises from Republicans only to be told that we are the problem. We ain’t going anywhere, and when the Republicans stop cheatin’ on us, we’ll be ready to take them back.
But not before. They want to play with the moderates and independents, good luck is all I can say.
I’m sure Obama appreciates your sentiments; sane people do not.
Call me silly, but if two bad guys are coming at my post, one with a knife and one with a gun, I'm taking out the guy with the gun first and then turning my attention to the other. Romney has a knife.
Yea, thanks for your principled vote.
LOL... while I understand that FR is a serious forum, I really appreciate some replies like yours...
I only hire Conservatives, so...
“I have known since the GOP-e forced Romney on us that the war had been extended...yet we must not give up.”
No, sir. I have not given up. I will be voting straight ticket on the Senate and the House. I helped get Cruz in. Why would I throw myself away fighting a battle for an objective, even if we do take it, guarantees us a loss? There is no reason to fight. The correct approach is to preserve my ammo for the fights ahead with Obama and fight for the correct objective - elimination of Obamacare.
If Romney goes along to get along and enacts Obamacare - the Republican party is finished.
Two days ago, a young expecting newlywed that I work with knew I was a Republican and asked if I could get her a Romney yard sign. Last night I was able to get my hands on a few signs that I took to work today. By noon, the signs were all taken and now I have been asked to get more. However, there was one young lady (a single mother) who said she would never vote for Romney because he only favors the rich.
I asked what was wrong with being rich and she said that she would never get rich. I reminded her that one of the reasons that she didn’t think she would ever become rich is because of all the money that was taken out of her paycheck to pay taxes that is being used to give free stuff to the people who weren’t willing to work hard like she was every day.
She then said, “Well that’s why I hate politics, I just won’t vote.”
I told her that she should vote even if I didn’t agree with her choice, it is better that we all vote rather than just sit around and complain about things.
A few minutes later, she came up to me and asked if I would mind explaining to her why I was supporting Romney and we agreed to talk during a lunch break on Friday.
Not sure I can convince her, but at least she is willing to listen. So, stay tuned....
