    Which direction will the right wing go?
    Hello wingers:

    The problem you have is you are either TOO liberal, or you're TOO conservative. Which direction are you going to go?

    Lets hope all you liberals loose your jobs when the businesses start cutting back or doing away with full time work and going with part time to avoid the Obamacare fiasco...

    You wanted it you got it... I hope every one of you chokes on it...

    Expect the unemployment numbers to go even higher... expect the cost of fuel and food to go even higher... expect your quality of life to go down... expect the country to start looking more like Kenya every day...

    That's what you all wanted... 16 Trillion in debt thanks to Obama expect that number to continue to skyrocket...

    As opposed to your over the top hyperbole left wing fanaticism? At least Mine is based in fact...

    NOTHING has improved the last 4 years... and nothing will the next four either... Its been all down hill and the slope has just gotten even steeper...

    THe belief and expectation you can get something for nothing if you expect a minority of the people to pay the bill has never worked... and never will work.

    The lowest common denominator is determined to drag EVERYTHING down to their level... because anyone with brains and the ability will shift most of their assets where they can't be touched... and yes there are lots of ways to do it... then see how the leeches pay for their free ride then.

    Hello again, tom:

    The relevance to ME, is that when Obama took office, the country was LOSING jobs on a massive scale. It shows further that Obama TURNED it around. I cannot imagine any other interpretation.

    But, you guys have ANSWERED my question.. You're NOT conservative ENOUGH. But, here's a secret... There aren't enough of you white right wingers any more. You're toast. Now, you can huddle together in a corner and snivel about your country turning brown. And, you can make yourselves irrelevant like the Whigs...

    It's NOT an obsession. It's an observation.. In fact, I believe it was campaign strategy. Now, I suppose, during the primary, Romney could have argued about a SHORTER fence, but he didn't. He COULD have been INCLUSIVE, but he would never have been nominated... You saw how governor good hair fared..

    So, I think Romney CHOSE to throw brown people overboard, and HOPE white people would be enough to push him over the top.

    Why do you think that the mere MENTION of race is playing some sort of race card? You don't think, do you, that campaigns NEVER consider RACE in their strategy??

    Really??

    Here's the thing ex, you guys can keep trying to paint us as things you know we're not, but I'm not going to abandon my principles and I have no plans to roll over and take it in the backside while my rights get destroyed.

    I've said it twice now, the trend is already there and I promise my company will follow suit and either make us part time or drop health insurance. But this is what you want now, you want everyone to have equal health care even if it's worse health care. I will not be silent about that.

    I refuse to watch our first amendment be destroyed without a fight so women can have birth control pills.

    I refuse to watch energy costs "necessarily skyrocket" without a fight so environmentalists can soothe their conscience. I actually care that people are able to afford gas for their car, heat in the winter and AC in the summer.

    You guys say you're for helping others but government policies just drag people down instead of lifting them up. My best friend feeds the homeless every Sunday night and has been for years but now he's being hounded because he doesn't have a "certified kitchen."

    Likewise, the church in its various forms does that very thing for millions of hungry, homeless, orphaned, abused, sick and suffering people every day, but if the contraception mandate holds they'll be FORCED to discriminate on who they can help. The rest will be on YOUR shoulders. Got to stick to those damn regulations you know. Got to have birth control pills you know.

    Let me ask you this, how does a birth control pill fill someone's stomach? You guys feign empathy for others while we've been in the trenches taking care of those you pretend to care for. Now you want to tie our hands?

    I'm not going to snivel about our country turning brown or any such nonsense because you KNOW I live in a brown neighborhood. But I will snivel about liberals wanting government to do what they should be doing themselves while pretending to care.

    What's VERY funny here, is that you think trotting out a few women, a Hispanic or two, and an Indian guy, CONSTITUTES diversity...

    I just see people, you guys are the only ones making it about race and gender and then you discredit and/or slander any conservative that isn't white. I think you ought to be ashamed for spreading divisiveness under the guise of diversity.

    It wasn't divisive when all the minorities ran away from the GOP. It was self preservation. The white guy lost because he ignored everybody but the rich white guys. He didn't talk to them (minorities), or listen. Just like conservatives don't talk or listen to any one BUT YOURSELVES!

    You got what you paid for. Now forget the supply side, trickle down stuff.

    Admittedly the GOP has fumbled connecting with minorities, but you got to admit that's much harder to do when your side, with media complicity, has spent the last 6 years calling us racists for no reason other than to divide and play on their fears.

    But you be sure and let us know how it's working for you when your "top down" approach leads to economic ruin. The rich you hate will still be rich you know... led by Mr. 1 percent himself.

    But true because they actually had videos of you guys disparaging all the OTHER people. I mean damn, hard to believe a guy who has said what they would do to you. So they ran!

    You see how dumb you guys sound by saying it's the media and not yourselves.

    Hello again,

    It's ARITHMETIC, stupid...

    The REASON the Dems won is because they can COUNT.. They could add up the Hispanics.. They could add up the woman.. They could add up everybody who DIDN'T hate Obama. When they totaled up their list, they had enough.

    You'd think that a Republican, who was going to SAVE the economy, could count.. Turns out, he can't..

    Wheeewee. We just dodged a bullet.

    Now, I understand you wingers are going to make it even EASIER to win next time, because you're going to run somebody like John Kasich next time, and you'll get SMASHED again.

    We talked several times about you guys shooting yourselves in the foot. Now, you're going to double down and use a shotgun to shoot yourselves. You should know your party is in trouble when somebody asks you how the rape guy did, and you have to ask, which one.

    Yes, I have more to say.. How do you spell mandate?? Here's how I do...

    There were 10 SWING states that were up for grabs.. Obama ran the table on 9 of 'em. He's the first president since FDR to get 50% of the popular vote.

    Do the Republicans think they won? They do, don't they? Silly Republicans..

    The miscalculation was 2 fold:

    2. The base of the Repubics were NOT enthusiastic about the Romney candidacy because he is a wishy-washy center-right .

    Bush got 50.73% in 2004.
    The other Bush got 53.37% in 1988
    Reagan got 58.77% in 1984
    Reagan got 50.75% in 1980
    Even Carter got 50.08% in 1976
    Nixon got 60.67% in 1972
    LBJ got 61.05% in 1964

    The dow has many factors that determine whether it goes upor down but when its down then its people selling not buying. Rich guys make money and they needed money to recoup their losses from those super pacs against Obama!!

    They lost BILLIONS!!
