Time to get serious about Nov 6th (A very cynical rant about this election)

Updated on December 20, 2012

Where the rubber meets the road...


Okay, it is getting down to where the rubber meets the road in the race for our next President. I for one, am somewhat poised, perhaps the term “cautiously optimistic” is a better way to phrase it, with regards of our potential outcome of this upcoming event. Being a strong Conservative for most of my adult life, these last four years has not been the most pleasant to me in the world of politics. Seeing, before my eyes, the decaying of our economy, along with several other issues has not been easy for me to digest.


I know that our liberal guided media has done everything under the sun, to suggest this race is over, and the current resident will remain another four years at 1600 Pennsylvania. Many of the latest Polls are indicating that Obama is commanding a sound lead over Romney. The news media is ranting and raving over the so-called fatal speech of Romney’s that Jimmy Carters grandson has recently leaked out suggesting that he does not care about 47% of Americans. Chris Matthews is starting to get his “tingle down his leg” all over again. Rachel Maddow is on Mitt like uh, well the stench on fresh fecal matter (had to re-phrase that one, to keep this one a PG-13 rating)….They (the liberal media elite) are tasting victory.


Okay, I won’t lie to ya, I am somewhat nervous. This really is such an extremely important election, as you guys already know. It is not over-exaggerating to say we are on the cusps of riding this nation over the financial cliff. Every economist out there is sweating like a uh (this IS PG-13 so, I’ll just say it) a prostitute in church! They know all too well, if we do NOT reel in our outrageous spending habits, and increase our federal revenue, to begin pay off our enormous debts, we are facing in a very, very serious dilemma.


With all the doom & gloom that is being portrayed by those on the left, of Romney being a felonious, tax-cheating, woman-hating, murderous, capitalist, and Paul Ryan, the greedy, evil, medicare-cutting VP, who loves to push little old ladies in their wheel chairs over a cliff, it is kind of amazing that anybody at all is interested in remotely voting for these two evil-doers! Well, I got news for them, not everyone is quite as gullible as they once were four years ago, as the promises of “Hope & Change” was being assured to all those who had the conviction to run out and pull that lever to the liberal land of Shangri-La, where we all well have FREE healthcare, FREE homes, FREE college and well, EVERYTHING will be FREE! The horrible Big Businessmen will finally be forced to pay their “fair share”.


Okay, I’m getting WAY too cynical right now, back to my original point.


According to many of the latest Polls Obama has a lead over Romney, showing as many as five or six point lead, according to whose survey it may be. But, I am reminded of the Gallup polls in 1980 that had Jimmy Carter up over Ronald Reagan by 4 points in mid to late September ... and was up 8 points in October. In fact there was a published Gallup poll showing Carter up six among likely voters in a poll conducted Oct. 24 to 27.


Well, needless to say, that did not turn out quite that way, as Reagan won by a landslide taking 44 states. I am a firm believer the only poll that truly matters is the one on November 6th.


Okay, this is just my latest RANT this one has been building up for a while now, and I feel another one coming on.

SO....


Remember to go out and vote, unless you are for Obama, then I take that back…stay home on Nov 6th and wait on your government hand out. (Bad Chris…BAD!)
