>>.lots of freepers getting the govt goodies too....<<
Ya got that right. In fact, I would venture to say, most of us are. I take that child tax credit, for sure.
Ya’ll need to be on my ping list. Ask if you want.
Please note these lines: “Please do not take this as a license to do nothing to prevent it. It is best that we go to our fate knowing we did all we could to stop it. We must know in deep in our core that all our hearts and souls were poured into thwarting the plans of this tyrant.”
80-85% of the Latino vote
65% of the Jewish vote
30-35% of the white male vote
THE Buckhead? Holy cow. This goofy n00b thanks you for your contribution to FR legend.
I disagree as to any ‘guarantee,’ and I disagree with most of your points.
1. War With Iran: I simply can’t believe that this Pres. is going to war over anything. He doesn’t have the backbone.
2. High Gas Prices as a Positive: No, I think it is a huge negative. People vote their pocketbooks. This is an established and sometimes unfortunate fact.
3. Race Wars: No question he will continue to prime that pump. We as a people have a part to play, though, too. Are we going to get into it, as blacks or whites? Or are we going to name it when we see it and refuse to participate? There is hope here.
4. Lies about the Economy: No question he will continue to lie, however, people are having their own experiences. In my close family there are a Dem and a Green who have been out of work for a LONG time, and simply can’t find work. No amount of lies about the economy will convince them that things are going well.
5. Occupy Wall Street: Will continue with MSM support, however, they have totally jumped the shark. Even in the SF Chronicle, when they have a story about Occupy doing this or that, 95% of the comments are ANTI.
So I don’t see things nearly as bleakly as you do.
You forgot to mention a very key element.
48% pay no taxes
42% are on some form of Gov’t program.
These folks have a vested interest in the Status Quo - you can expect a VERY large percentage of them to vote, at least once.
Meanwhile, even here on FR - there are a substancial amount of people who are TOO FREAKIN’ LAZY to do their civic duty, and either refuse to vote for Romney (for either his religion, or his various stances), or will do a write in candidate to make some moral point. A vote for a write-in candidate, or a failure to even vote - is a vote for Obama.
The only real problem is the Republican voters picked the worst possible candidate to run against him.
Please don't. I don't know that I could take all the "I would NOT hit that" posts that would be sure to follow.
Programmers can’t spell. ;p
That whole list of stuff is more likely to blow up in his face than redound to his benefit.
Seconded
BuckeyeTexan, I'd like to invite ya to get up here.
And Matt, git yer SEAL-toughed butt up here. We can all sit around and Strategery. :)
100% agree, Laz. And yes, we should go down fighting. And no, I will not vote Romney. After 7 presidential elections, I will finally be voting my conscience, not the party line.
I disagree and think all of those reasons listed above, are ALL the reasons he WON’T win.
We outnumber the Progressives 2 to 1. And more of us are waking up every day, especially with all this crap they are pulling and showing their true colors (no pun intended).
We also have God on our side. They don’t.
Proverbs 21:30 There is no wisdom, nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord. True, many take counsel against the Lord, and defy His purposes, (Ps. 2:1-3), but there is no wisdom, understanding nor counsel against the Lord that shall stand, (Isa. 8:9-10; Ps. 103:15; 115:5; Acts 4:27-28; 5:39; Eph. 1:11). To set ones will against the Lord guarantees failure, frustration and final shame.
ABO
You’re a very smart man, Laz.
I don't see it getting that far.
Russia and China are not in Syria and Iran to star a war and side with 'em, they are there to prevent a war and gain control of the oil and gas in the region.
Currently, Iran's oil goes to Western Europe in competition with Russia (same was true for Libyan oil). Redirect that oil to China and China's economy has a major uptick and Russia has Western Europe by the balls.
Russia will protect Israel to PREVENT a war and continue the instability of the region.
