25 posts from various Freepers castigating me for my post.

Look, all of you, I am tired of fighting hard, fighting hard, fighting hard, and then having folks like Palin tell us we should be happy that we were so close and that the pot of gold is just over the rainbow. Bullshit!

For many of you - life goes on, just as it did before. Well, my job was on the line here. With Obamacare, the people that I work for are going to close up shop. That means I have to look for work - again.

I’m supposed to be happy that the only silver lining is a Mitt Romney who boasted about running to the left of Ted Kennedy and the architect of Romney care in MA. This is the man who is supposed to be leading our troops into combat? Game over man.

I’m supposed to be happy when the conservatives here are arguing that we need to back Newt and his moonbases so that we can prevent that horribly social conservative Santorum from actually winning and ensure that Obamacare passes.

We have lost the following in the past 9 months. We have lost our shot at the Whitehouse.

We have lost our shot now, to save the Supreme court. Over a bizarre and incoherent last ditch ruling by someone who, until the past week, was assumed to be a solid chief justice and a solid judicial nominee.

He has since left the reservation and is as solid a liberal as Kagan and the rest.

We have lost the White house, and we have lost the supreme court. That leaves us what? The states? The congress? The Senate? The same congressional representatives that have failed to pass a budget in 4 years are supposed to be leading the charge to gut Obamacare?

No, we have lost, and we lost big. We went into extra innings and Roberts dropped the fly ball, allowing the winning run to score.

Now, maybe for some of you, this is a good ruling. This means that your expensive medical bills will be covered, and you won’t have to worry about going bankrupt to fund your medical care.

What does that leave me, as a young conservative, for hope for the future? Am I happy that the ‘conservatives’, rather then actually doing something that would be beneficial to the future have been doing everything they possibly can to stick me with the bill?

No, I am not happy. Shapiro, another young conservative gets it. Palin does not. I am not going to pay for any Obamacare waiver. They can throw me in jail, I don’t care. I am a Catholic. I am not going to pay for abortion or contraception, or whatever entitlement the free **** brigade passes, and the republicans rubberstamp.

Today, I just bought a flag. I figure if nobody else cares about the future of the republic, that at least someone does. Who knows, maybe someday I’ll find a kindred spirit. Probably not here among the 25 or so ‘conservatives’ with their catcalls and namecalls of ‘noob’, etc.

This is my ass on the line, and I find Palin’s response tepid. So sue me. I want a firebrand I want someone willing to go balls to the walls on this issue. I’m not seeing that from any of the republican leadership yet.

One last point. How many of the 25 folks here predicted that we would win on Obamacare? That Newt was destined for the presidency? That there was no way that Mitt Romney would win?

When was the last time FReepers called it right since the 2010 congressional elections? Everything that has been the ‘common knowledge’ here has been wrong. Everything. Not once in 2 years have I seen a correct call here.

So yes, I read here, ‘Obama is doomed, Obama cannot win, Mitt Romney is ascendent’, ‘Mitt Romney is going to have a landslide’, and I have to wonder. Everything in this election cycle has been wrong. Why would this change here?

So go on, castigate me for being the youngster n00b who knows absolutely nothing about anything.
