Last night, I gave in and cried. As the Mom of 3 kids, I feel hopeless. The polls show that Obama is winning, whether we try to deny it or not. I keep asking myself "Who are these so-called Americans who will re-elect this disaster we've had in office for almost 4 years?" I am scared. Scared for the lives my children will have to live, thanks to the resident currently occupying the White House. No, I will never call him my president..in my opinion, you have to EARN that title. And the man who currently occupies the White House is much more concerned about being popular with the "in" crowd..you know, the Hollywood Liberals. Who cares that gas prices have tripled since he took office? That food prices have skyrocketed? That most of us who work for a living are struggling from paycheck to paycheck while the lazy people live off of our hard work? Hopeless. I keep going back to that word..because I feel as though we have nowhere to go. And shock. Because I cannot believe we have so many stupid Americans in our country! Don't get me wrong. I will vote, and cast my vote for Romney. But really, is it enough? I don't think so. Fellow FReepers..is all lost, as I think it is?

Despair is a sin. Trust in God.

Sandy, I feel the same way almost daily. Then I remember Chick Fil A Day and the turnout and atmosphere. That gives me hope for November.
==================================================
So trust in God, but if that doesn't work...trust in a greasy chicken sandwich with urine flavored pickles. I think the Freeps are gonna need a hug come November.

The Wielding Truth
(11,411 posts)led around by their emotions. What is it that prevents them from seeing the Republicans for what they are? The Party they
align with has worked against America by stifling every bill to rebuild our country and create millions of jobs. They watched
these Republicans fire teachers and use the savings to reward their wealthy benefactors. It happened. These
Republicans are making it more difficult for Americans to vote because they want to win and don't care how. Why can't they see.
The Republican leader and Presidential candidate is a pinwheel that reveals his pin (his connection to his reality) where he is
most comfortable among his uber wealthy cohorts. He boasts his lack of concern for those in this women's situation and
dismisses all of us who desire a country that stands for equal justice, civil rights and an available ladder of opportunity for
all.

Maybe "God" just may decide to teach a lesson with this; to not question him/her, and some people, a lesson in humility and caring about others who don't think, or worship, as they do.

renate
(13,776 posts)I felt the same kind of "how can this be happening" during the Bush years, so I actually have some compassion for her. I don't suppose people who believe the ridiculous stories they hear deliberately seek out misinformation. They don't know that Fox News is allowed to lie; they presumably genuinely believe what they hear. So of course they're scared.
The difference between them and us, I would like to think, is that we are more fact-oriented, and we aren't inclined to unquestioningly accept the word of people who set themselves up as authorities. So I think we were right to be afraid, given the cavalier attitude Bush and Cheney had towards transparency, budgeting for wars, starting wars, etc. But I was genuinely afraid for the future of my kids and the country from 2000 to 2008, and it's no fun. I'm sorry she's too dim to change the channel and question her pastor, but by doing that she'd separate herself from her community, and that's a lot to ask of a person.
I blame the media personalities who feed on the fear of people like this.
maxrandb
(15,298 posts)because deep down, I believe in America, I wore the uniform in defense of America when Bush was my CINC and still do under MY current President and CINC. I never truly lost hope because I always believed that time and progress were on the right side of history.
The difference between us and the Freepers (and it's a big difference), is that we believe in America and look to the future...The Freepers long for a time that NEVER EXISTED!

If you would like to compare gas prices, imagine 1998 when gas prices was still around 1.50 or less.
The Bush fiasco of a Presidency shown that triple increase by 2008 our gas hit 4.00 at some point.
Currently gas has been hovering around the 3.40-4.00 range for a good 4 years.
Before you accuse someone of doing something please research actual time frames.

In a way, I find this refreshing, not for the obvious schandenfreude, but for the simple fact that it shows there is a glimmer of sanity and reality somewhere in that cesspool of ignorance and stupidity.
Whenever I hear reich wingers talk about the election and how it's really Romney that's winning, I can't help but think of all those German and Japanese that kept believing they were winning WWII even as the bombs rained down on them and the tanks encircled.
It's amazing the depths of delusions that some people sink to.

You want to cry? Cry in a private message. Too many people here are already too darn wobbly to have a textual breakdown show up, it causes other nervous-Nellies to lose focus, and just gives spies from the other side encouragement to ramp up the BS further.
So sorry if it seems mean.

Until the day of the election we dont know the result. God will get us thru, but it also a good idea to stock up now and be prepared.
I have decided that if zer0 wins, I am going to only buy replacement stores on sale and nothing else. If something breaks, we fix it or find another older appliance to rehab. Same w/the vehicles. If we all just live on our stores and only replenish those from sales, while growing greens and whatever else thru the winter, we can affect the economy. It will be like 2008, with less capital. Luckily, we have a warmer than average forecast for the next 3 months and propane has declined in price.
SandyLynn:If you live anywhere near Lansing, IA, check out Horsfalls (Lansing Variety) for great bargains on sox, sweats and assorted daily necessities. Actually worth a day trip, IMO.
Unfortunately, there is no bargain store for liberty and freedom. However, crying accomplishes nothing except red eyes and a runny nose. Cry once, if you must and do it in private. Your children will need your strength. So will you.
