Well I voted for someone who was going to run our country in 2013, not someone who was stuck in 1950 and wondering why blacks and women could vote.

There you go with the "if you didn't vote for Obama, you must be sexist and racist" crap again. Do you know how stupid that sounds?

Sorry, I was just commenting on your "if you didn't vote for Romney" post which sounded equally stupid, I was simply making it easier for you to understand.

Jeez, just keep repeating talking points, ignoring data, and electing obstructionist repubs to congress for the "good of the nation".
* You truly believe it? Well maybe you should check your sources of information.
* Reality check: our country went downhill under republicans and is now improving.
* Obama doesn't fix the economy, Congress does.
* Our enemies hate us? Really... as a repub you want to befriend Al Qaeda now?
You do a lot of posting, but little researching it seems. Curious, what is your source of information? Whoever it is, you need a change.

Obama has had four years to improve our economy; instead it is worse. The US's credit rating has been downgraded. People are out of work. Obama LIES about "creating" jobs. The truth is, there are more people unemployed now than when Obama took office. Some have stopped looking for work so aren't even figured in the unemployment figures anymore.

Obama has wanted things HIS way or not at all. He is NOT willing to work with Republicans and then he blames everything on Republicans. So yes, it is his fault. He lies about working across the aisle. He does no such thing.

No, I don't want to befriend Al Qaeda. Obama does. He thought by apologizing to them and being nice to them, they'd be nice to us. I guess they showed up what they think when they killed four Americans in Libya. Obama still doesn't get it.

FYI, I get my information from everywhere. I posted recently that I would watch MSNBC more if they weren't so hateful and biased that I can't watch long without turning the channel. Pretty much like the people HERE are. It might interest you that I very rarely watch Fox. I know that is exactly what you were thinking/going to say.

Talking points? Me? I don't think so. The left has the corner on talking points. You guys come here and post everything MSNBC and Obama have told you to say, without an original thought of your own. That is what I see here every day.

I didn't accuse you of vitriol and vindictiveness because of the way you voted. I've probably read just about every one of your poisonous threads and rebuttals today and it's sickening. I respect every person's vote whether I agree with them or not. I know how it feels to have your man lose. I was beside myself when Clinton won the first time. Disgusted. Angry. But, I got over it in a few days, moved on, and didn't sit around screeching and predicting AND rooting for failure of the country because my team lost. It's ridiculous. It's divisive. It's unpatriotic. I support my president no matter who that president is. I don't hope for failure, predict a swarm of locusts and go around saying the country is going to hell in handbasket. All you do is give power to our enemies. Just get over it and look for ways to be supportive of the country as a whole.

If "W" had been in the White House for the last four years instead of Obama:
  • We would have long ago seen evidence of a healthy recovery, and return to prosperity.
  • Without the ObamaCare albatross, unemployment would be nearly back, if not completely back to what is considered "full employmnet."
  • Egypt would still be an ally and the Muslim Brotherhood would not be in power in the Middle East.
  • Israel would be secure in the knowledge that she had a friend in the United States.
  • We would be safer from terrorism, not less safe.
  • Osama would be dead, but we wouldn't be bragging and risking the lives of Seal Team Six (some of whom have been killed because of Obama compromising the operation).
  • The dollar would be stronger.
  • Our credit rating would not have been downgraded.
  • We would not have added over $5 T to the deficit.
  • GM would have ben allowed to pursue normal bankruptcy, the bond holders would not have been screwed, and the company would not have been turned over to the Unions (who didn't deserve the money they received as a "gift" from Obama.
  • We wouldn't have thrown away millions on Solyndra and others (Solyndra was rejected by the Bush administration for grant money on the basis of risk).
  • We would have a sound energy policy, one that does not reject the resourses under our feet that God blessed this nation with, and would have a viable plan to energy independence (we have the resourses — we just have to use them).
  • Our religious liberty wouldn't be under attack.
  • Free speech wouldn't be under attack
  • We wouldn't have a Secretary of State apologizing for Americas right of free speech.
  • The President wouldn't be bowing to our enemies.
  • Bush wouldn't be whispering "I'll have more flexibility after the election" to the Russians.
  • We wouldn't be cutting our defenses to dangerous levels.
  • NASA would still be pursuing space, and would not have become a Muslim outreach (absolutely disgusting!).
This list could go on for pages.

You should probably wait until all the 2012 votes are counted before you start throwing out comparisons.

62,028,285: George W. Bush, popular vote total, 2004 (final)
62,030,023: Barack H. Obama, popular vote total, 2012, as of 11/11/12 6:22 PM CST( count not yet complete)
