Hey, I have an idea: Why don't you project an air of optimism, say, ONCE IN YOUR ENTIRE CAREER ON FREE REPUBLIC.
Just once, to break the monotony of pure relentless doom and gloom.
Give 'er a whirl!
I'd prefer to go with reality. When people say dumb things like Romney has no chance to win, I jump all over them since it is obvious Mitt could win. When people whine about Romney not being conservative enough and threaten to sit out, I try to set them straight since we need everyone on board to defeat Hussein. But we do have to be able to discuss the actual facts objectively and not live in a fantasy world cocoon. This election is very close and by many measures Obama is slightly ahead. Now we get Rasmussen's tracking poll this morning and it shows Romney has just about lost his 2 point national lead - he was up 3-4 just a few days ago. Bad news is bad news, there is no point trying to sugarcoat it.
Laz,
In 2008, yep 2008, FREEPERS were pouncing all over FREEPERS who said that McCain was going to lose because of the polls were saying so. FREEPERS were saying that the polls were BS, full of crap, that the FREEPERS saying that McCain LOOKS like he was going to lose were “concerned trolls” or whatever. FREEPERS are not 100 percent right every time. It is nice for discussion though. I say get out and vote like Obama is 99 percent ahead.
