still clinging to that 47% thing, huh? listen, the sooner you let go of silliness like this and start acting a little more serious about how you choose candidates for your party, the sooner you will have a chance to get rid of the likes of the socialist, muslim Kenyan who we voted for last night.
The Republican party is very, very lost. The primaries were so freakin' brutal that the candidates cannibalized themselves, and then the Democrats were able to use the Republicans' own words against Romney. If the Republicans were smart (and they're not), they would chose a younger candidate now (preferably a person of color) and groom them vigorously for the next four years. They need to be able to generate excitement among voters, and they need to stop eating their own during the primaries. I also think the country is very, very lost as a whole, and as Tirk stated earlier, people are becoming more and more stupid and devoid of common sense.
No Kyle, I was correct. Obama won a majority of voters, meaning greater than 50%; go check the numbers yourself. The CEO's didn't have to personally endorse Obama, they endorsed the essence of his plan to reduce the debt and deficit. I AM a small business owner and a very successful one. You might have small business owners in your neck of the woods bitching but the small business owners that I know have no qualms with the guy. This whole "anti-business" crap is just a myth.
And I will have to go to the Sara lee confessional for this blatant omission. Thanks for the heads up.
OK, let's BOTH split hairs on the 50% thing since FL isn't even counted yet. Obama got less votes this election than last. You implied that the CEO's endorsed him, then when called on it you said the endorsed the "essence". The same thing could be said of Romney's plan. My company polls small business owners constantly and I can assure you that an overwhelming majority of small business owners do not favor Obama and his policies.
They actually tried this briefly after the '08 election. First it was Michael Steele and his quest for "hip-hop republicans" (wow), then it was Bobby Jindal and his dizzying rhetoric. They threw every brown-faced repub that could string two sentences together out there, but the whole thing blew up in their collective face. Both guys quickly turned into laughing stocks on the national level and they abandoned ship. I think it may prove too hard for them to beat the democrats at their own game. Honestly, at this stage in the game, they need to focus on a candidate with a real promise of comprimise. I think the GOP blew this election in large part by their utter refusal to do so congressionally with the president, and the general public began to see that trend for what it is...putting political posturing above policy.
