Freeze...Mitt Vice!

[Sonny-Burnett]

Only 32% of registered Republicans voted yesterday. :confused:

Really? I hadn't heard that and is pretty surprising.

That number came from Lou Dobbs - on Fox Business

I must say that stuns me. And Dobbs is a pretty good source too. With all the talk about how motivated the Republican base was as well, that is damned pathetic.

Has anyone else had enough of the election yet? My apologies Sonny-Burnett' date=' that's last post is just too damn much to read! [/quote'] I agree.....I just skimmed it and realize Obama owes a lot to the media.

it could be that people voted in advance so it was only that amount that was counted yesterday that there talking about.although I want a revote, this feels wrong like this shouldn't of happened.at this point I feel Like Castilo at the end of a lost case, another day detective.its going to be a historic 4 years, we'll finally see Texas and Alaska succeed from the union if he pushes his agenda too far that or the first successful impeachment.after all no one in 1985 thought the soviet union would fail in 1990, but it did so anything is possible.but even then he'd have to do something pretty damning, along the lines of something on law and order, hell they didnt even impeach Clinton although the most worrying thing is he may be able to apoint two judges to the supreme court and create long term damage for the next half a century with his garbled sense of right and wrong and economics.So next time we need to get a republican who's not a mormon first off, is pro womans rights (something the republicans have trouble being reasonabile with) and was preferably an actor, someone who can lie with the best of them.That was never Romney's strong point, hell I'd wager if it was Ryan going for president and Romeny as the vice they might have had a better chance.I dont know, but honestly I just feel indifference at this point, serious indifference.So play your cards close to your chest boys and girls, put your money into physical objects that will hold there value, dont go into debt if you can avoid it and always pay in cash.and keep cash around in a reserve incase of when the power goes out.and a little preping wouldn't be a bad thing:

invest in a natural gas generator, some firearms, some lighters, knives, maybe some sort of martial arts, some way to defend yourself and keep your head down.this is going to be a bad run. after all when the power is gone, so is rule of law, life turns back to the 18th century and with the money dying out, them getting desperate and blaming anyone and everything with blind ignorance just because they didnt act a fool with there money its obvious this is just the beginning of something bad and possibly that kind of collapse of rule of law.I hope it isn't but I sincerely doubt it isn't.hmph so much for the dream of a home like hickok45's with an outdoor range outside my front door, seems like its going to have to be in canada now.

I don't disagree with having a bit more of a survivalist mentality - look at some of the people after major storms. Some are elderly and have a hard time of it, but others failed to prepare over buying a few frozen pizzas. I was good to go for over two weeks."Dingy Dirty" Harry Reid (D) is already ONE DAY AFTER poisoning the well, JUST LIKE the way Obamacare was "Rahmed it through" saying he wants to work to neutralize the filibuster, the one tool a minority party might be able to lean on. He is also ready to increase those taxes you've been looking forward to. And you thought unprecedented, astronomical expenditure was just a blip on the radar? Don't worry, the piggy bank ran empty again despite hitting the panic button in summer '11 and Dingy Dirty's all about raising us from 16,700,000,000,000 to 18,800,000,000,000 in debt. At what point does our money - and your savings - become worthless??Well???Meanwhile, John Boehner ® reached across the aisle yesterday to say, "Let's work together." It's a student council election, it's homecoming King. America picked the dumbass that looks good.

More on how the Mainstream Media helped Obama win re-election, in an article entitled "Obama wins with backing from biggest supporters – the media". http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/11/07/obama-wins-with-backing-from-biggest-supporters-media/ And Obama in his stump speeches kept reminding the masses how we "can't go back to the failed policies that got us into this mess in the first place". Another lie that was never debunked by the Media, but many voters continued to accept this lie at face value. Reality from an excerpt from this article:"Another myth central to Obama’s campaign is that Mitt Romney wants to go back to the “policies that got us into trouble in the first place.†What are those injurious Republican policies? Presumably the president refers to the deregulation of financial institutions that liberals blame for the recession. But, it was Bill Clinton who repealed Glass-Steagall. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley bill, which undid that long-standing law, passed the Senate 90-8, with Vice President Biden among the many Democrats supporting the measure. By contrast, George Bush was a regulation nut. It was during his administration that the country adopted the oppressive Sarbanes-Oxley legislation. In any event, the financial crisis did not stem from deregulation. Instead, it was caused by the government encouraging too much money to slosh into real estate and into subprime mortgages backed by Fannie and Freddie, on the misguided notion that home ownership created upward mobility. The excess investment into property blew prices sky-high and encouraged speculation. The ensuing bubble was fed by the emergence of securitization, which made available unprecedented amounts of money. Many rungs led up this rickety ladder – poor credit analysis, incompetent ratings agencies, undisciplined mortgage brokers – but allowing banks and securities firms to invade each others’ turf was not among them."Source: Liz Peek, a financial columnist who also writes for The Fiscal Times. For more visit LizPeek.com.We're talking about $Billions lost here in guarantees and individual consumers and banks. And the major proponent in Congress for adding low income mortgage quotas backed by Fannie and Freddie, leading to all these bad "investments" was none other than Barney Frank. This all began in the 90s and later Bill Clinton raised the low income quotas from 30% to a whopping 50%, further exacerbating the crisis.

Reid is one step from senility, imo. He is intractible and will not give an inch on his obsessive desire to raise taxes on small business owners and job creators. Job creation is going to stagnate another 4 years unless they give on these tax increases. There are rumors about other Senate members wanting to elect a new majority leader,...I hope that happens now. I'm pessimistic about anything of substance being achieved before the New Year's deadline. I would expect just another "kick the can down the road" solution where short term cuts are made, the debt ceiling is raised yet again, and some tax increases are passed, but nothing coming close to the massive entitlement cuts and reforms needed as well as some on defense to realign our economy back toward stabilization. I'd expect the credit rating agencies to lower our ratings again and further raise the already massive costs of borrowing and further eroding our abilty to borrow to implement needed programs in the country that we can no longer afford because of our Obama-inflicted massive debt levels. I am expecting further annual $1Trillion deficits over the next 4 years and to reach $21Trillion or more in debt by the time Obama leaves office. I think the impact of Obamacare was wildly underestimated and will add as much as an additional $3Trillion to our debt. We are heading down the path to becoming a welfare state. But to use an often quoted reminder: The Problem With Socialism Is That You Eventually Run Out Of Other People's Money.
