A good sign perhaps?
« on: July 28, 2015, 12:32:40 PM »
So I live here in the people's republic of Massachusetts. A place where idiots vote with reckless abandon for the most nonsensical stuff (and people) you would ever want to see. Keep in mind this is the state that sent the murderer Ted Kennedy to the Senate year after year, and the gay prostitute loving Barney Frank to the House year after year. I honestly think some times that the voters look at the crap in California and say "Oh yeah?! You think YOU GUYS are progressive? Watch THIS!" and then go out and do something else so incredibly stupid as to defy logic. Okay....so with that as a starting point....

The last two general elections were OBVIOUSLY going to go for Obama here in MA. I won't bore you all with the BS I put up with for my McCain and then Romney bumper stickers (not to mention the handmade "CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH" sign I put on my car when FL went to W in 2000 as a giant F-U to the locals on my commute to Boston.  ;)). But suffice to say in general elections this state does nothing for Republicans (my one solace is that my little town has always voted for the Republican candidate which I get to harass my friends about who live in more crazy moonbat towns).

Anyway....my neighbor is a union guy....works for the phone company. His wife is/was a teacher (also union). They have ALWAYS been union supporting Democrats. Its just the way it is. I can't have thoughtful conversations with them on ANY issues. They just are crazy Democrats and always will be. So his son just deployed to the ME. They had taken down their Army flag as had been suggested by the Army to avoid any crap from crazy ISIS lovers (which here in MA....there plenty of sad to say). So I was talking with him the other day to tell him his son is in our prayers and wishing him the best. He went off on such a rant about Obama and how much he hates him etc etc. Hates what he has done to the military, hates what he has done to the country, and more. And I also am proud to say I didn't rub his nose in it and say "I TOLDJA!!!!" but Lord knows I wanted to.

My point is that if that is the level of discontent among the liberals here in MA we actually have a chance to see things change in the rest of the country. Not here in MA mind you because there are too many Bernie Sanders Kumbaya singing utter MORONS who think we can all just get along and Islam IS the religion of Peace. But I think there is hope out there in REAL America that the people who went to Obama the first and second time may have now woken up and realized that this good ship is taking on water and we better fix it before the whole thing goes belly up. At least that is my hope and prayer.

*Rant off*

Nebraska... we are a split state. Omaha votes blue per pre arranged "fairness" I swear. The rest of the state Red, because they can. Oddly, what I have not figured out is this upcoming TV rating booster we call an election is oddly hardly being mentioned here.

The only thing you see is confusion. No real clear front runner for either party. I suspect the keystone issue has many here rethinking a "red" vote depending on context. Try and steal peoples land, dirty politics, and anyone who was "supportive" of that is going to have a tough vote to grab. Neb is a small electoral count so not a big deal, but I wonder if that's happening in other largely hard working rural areas?

It seems most don't want Jeb or Hillary in office, are relived Obama is leaving, and trust almost no one to replace him.
Walker may see some support, but his connections to the "K" brother may hurt him here.

My girls folks are blissfully ignorant Union democrats.  And her brother and his family are flaming liberals.  Other than that I know of no one who supports the way this country is headed.  Granted my industry is typically right wing but we are a union contractor and you'd think you would run across someone somewhere but nope. All hardcore republican/libertarians.

The left has a very loud voice.  But from what I've seen they are becoming the minority on the ground level.  No one watches MSNBC anymore and CNN is in the same boat.  Just because the minority has the loudest voice and largest social media presence doesn't change the fact that they are still a minority.  But as you said they vote in large numbers and the other side sadly does not.

Down here we have 2 Georgia's, Atlanta and the rest of us.  We used to have that lady congressperson from Atlanta, Cynthia McKinney.  Tells you how they think.  The rest of use are significantly more conservative but seemingly with a quite voice due to the cattle herded into Hotlanta.  The larger cities around the state such as Savannah and Albany are sickening dens of liberal iniquity that are following in the example Chicago and Detroit as hard as they can run.  The state went red but there are so many apathetic people out there that won't go vote and make their voices count.

Personally, I think that moving to a popular vote instead of the Electoral College would be a more direct indication of the will of the people.  The Electoral College was set up basically to speak for the voters as the communications were slow and people were not well informed about the goings on of government or the issues.  Well, all of that has certainly changed today with the internet and media being what it is.  There are so many low information voters (the ones who vote for whoever will give them something for free) that it will be hard (just like it is now due too apathy) for the silent majority to ever be heard because they will not get out to vote, figuring that someone else will do it.

Precisely.  But how can you get someone to act?

Look at a voting map of our state. You have red pockets in LA and SF and the rest of the state is blue. But most of the population is in those red areas.

Ever notice the nearly linear correlation between welfare dependent geography/density and the blue voting color?

Detroit,  Chicago, DC, NY, LA, Etc, etc, etc.

How ignorant do you have to be than to vote democrat for 40 years and keep falling for the same old promises only to never see real change.

Reminds me of women who keep going back to scumbag husbands who beat them saying, "but he loves me, and promised to change"

Welfare/govnt handout density map overlaid to the blue voting areas is very telling, I suspect. 40 years of failed policy in liberal dominated urban centers. How stupid do you have to be to keep voting democrat falling for the same empty promises that never come true?  Kind like the women that keep going back to their husbands who repeatedly beat them thinking he's going to really change.

so I was sitting in the endocrinologist office this afternoon waiting to find out why I have gained 60+ lbs in 1 year and was forced to listen to pat Buchanan start running his mouth and the diarrhea that was coming out of it in regards to the republican candidates and just how they are all a joke and bring nothing to the table.

I really just wanted to attempt a brain flossing after listing to this buffoon.  somehow or another he feels that being an advisor to 3 different presidents and having a record of 1 out of 3 be successful makes him a subject matter expert. 
If you need the promise of eternity in the kingdom of heaven to be a good person … You were never a good person in the first place!
