FOR THE FIRST TIME, I'M NOT PROUD TO BE AMERICAN. THIS ELECTION HAS TAUGHT ME

[sflynt]

I voted republican because I don't think its fair for me and my family to have to pay for others who do not or will not work. I understand some people can't, but there are too many people in this country who abuse the welfare system and the new health care system will be the same way. Call me selfish, I don't care, but I want to live in America, not a socialist society. I feel like you should get what you work for, and the rate the Democrats were going, my taxes were going to be higher than what I got to keep.

I don't want help from the government, I think they try to abuse their authority too much as it is.

As for the global warming debate, I have done lots of research on it for classes in college and there are definitely discrepencies on both sides of the arguement. Yes the climate is changing, but if you really study how all of the testing and research for it is done, you will see how greatly the discussion is dostorted for political purposes.

And overall, I am just glad that people voted based on actual issues and not just for the sake of a "black president". There is too much reverse racism in this country starting with affirmative action and the like. Do not even get me started on that debate. And I am sure I will get tons of angry remarks about me being racist, but no I am just calling it like I see it. Look at the facts, many many voters had no idea of the issues Obama supported or even had personal opinions in conflict with his beliefs. I am not saying Republicans or Democrats are worse than the other, but Americans need to think about the decisions they are making before voting just for the sake of voting. Get educated on the issues and maybe this country won't continue to go downhill!

BRING ON THE CRITICISM 

 

No criticisms from me!!! You said it quite well!!!

I agree with you that people are entitled to their opinions.  I believe also, that when tantricia exploded the way she did, she knew she was going to get a lot of reactions and responses.  It seems to me that you are implying that it's okay for her to use the Freedom of Speech, however, those people you are getting on to for ranting on two or three pages have the privilege of the Freedom of Speech as well.

That said, it's of my opinion that since the election did not go the way she wanted it to, that the Republicans, Independents, and non-voters are at fault.  When in actuality, it's pretty obvious, to me, that the people that did vote and had the majority, sent a message to Obama and Pelosi that enough is enough. I, for one, am pleased to see how the election turned out. That's just my opinion.

 

Love it! You are absolutely right!

Everyone, get a life already please!!!!   Obvious you only read what you want to read!!! You guys do not have a real clue on what's going on!!!!!  And don't quote after me because I won't be reading it so have fun--ranting over nothing like if anything going to change--really!  Get over it!!!  Bye Bye!!!

Just in case curiousity gets the best of you, turn your response around and put it right back at ya!  That's exactly what you did - read what you wanted into the post. Mh's post would be an excellent read for you in regards to reality in Washington.

I'm 24yrs old and still not a registered voter. I don't wanna feel responsible for electing a fool as our president or anything else. Of course, I expect the person to make mistakes. I just wish Obama and whoever else would quit spending so much money. Anyways, Im happy with my decision to not be a registered voter

You have a chance to make sure Obama quits spending by voting him out.   You cannot complain about how our country is headed if you don't take the time vote.  That is what America is all about.

Whats the point in voting when we don't know if the next person will be any better? The person usually promise to do this and do that. Then, we find out that its all just a big lie. Of course, I can't run the country any better and I wouldn't dare to take Obama's place LOL.

  TERRIER ATTACKS,

No I think were called stupid Americans, because were worried about "TERRIER attacks", when anyone with common since knows we need to be worried about the poodle attacks.

Lol! I agree that it's messed up that most of the country voted Republican but "Terrier attacks" is hillarious. I think you were so angry that you didn't realize what you wrote. I know you meant to say Terrorist attacks.
