Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire If you voted for Obama,

Jeff O is far from a troll.

Yep.

But what are Republican supporters who blindly vote for the GOP even as they get exponentially more liberal every year?

I voted for Obama. No, I'm not "a liberal". He was the better of the two tickets and not by a little.

If you are a social conservative or single issue voter (guns, abortion, etc), then you will disagree with me, perhaps violently <g>. I'm not a single-issue voter. I voted for who I thought was the better candidate for the times, overall. McCain is a good man but he's old, rigid if not calicified mentally, and didn't give the impression that he even wanted to win- especially at the end there. His decision making is suspect, as witnessed by choosing Palin for... for... uh... her gender and rabid social conservatism, maybe? Maybe? Not much else there.

Obama is doing fine so far, not that there's much "good" to be done. He's interfacing with Congress, listening, and trying to project calm (which McCain was TERRIBLE at). Let's face it- he's [bleep] just like McCain would have been. The economy is a MESS and it's not his doing, and there's no magic wand to wave to fix it. Let us not forget who our fearless leader was for the 8 years prior, and who gave away a trillion dollars to THE WRONG PEOPLE (if there even are "right people" for such stupidity) on his way out the door.

You want to tell me that Republicans are fiscal conservatives, warn me first so I don't blow beer out my nose, OK?

If McCain had won, we'd be going down the same path we are going down now- right? Can we all admit that? We'd all be complaining about the stupid McCain economic stimulus package. he'd be drawing down the war in Iraq over the next 4 years. The rhetoric might be different, but the results would be more or less the same.

As to Obama partying in college... give me a BREAK... who DIDN'T!? George W. Bush snorted coke, smoked pot, and drank like a fish... yet we all voted for HIM.

I know posting this won't endear me to some of you. Oh well. Hopefully you'll at least have some respect for the fact that I ain't gonna lie to you or pretend to be something I'm not. I'm a hippie redneck <g>, live out in the woods, got my guns and trucks and chain saws, but I also got my guitars, mountain bikes, and skiis...damned if I will close my mind and just swallow what the RNC or DNC is putting out. I'll use my own head and decide on the candidates on a case-by-case basis.

"I won," he says, as if the majority of the electorate endorsed his policies.

How many of those who voted for him voted for his policies?

Not many, I betcha.

Hell, I can't tell the difference between any of them anymore.

Actually Republican congressmen and Senators holding the line with only 3 turncoats that Obama, Reid and the media can use to claim a "Bi-Partisan" agreement, is what allowed those three to capture the spotlight.

It's actually an example of the GOP being MORE conservative since you only have 3 out of 219 Republicans siding with a liberal spending package.

Then you need to get your eyes checked, bro.


here's a hint....why don't you compare Obama's first nominee to the Supreme Court to Roberts and Alito? Or Eric Holder to Ashcroft on gun control...or any other issue for that matter.

Do you think any Republican would be pushing a "stimulus bill" with a four billion dollar payoff to ACORN for their fraudulent assistance in the last election?

The list goes on and on.....people who say elections don't matter deserve what they get.

You never hear the term DINO's.
