Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Watching one of the anchor dudes swimming in the sea of hyperbole about the debate tonight, I realized there's still 2 DANG WEEKS 'TILL THE ELECTION. I spend 5 minutes at the post office throwing away political flyers and the evening is spent deleting Vote For Me messages on the machine. I am sooo sick of politicians and their sleazy lying campaign managers! Arrrrrrgggggghhh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calico Mary Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Don't feel bad, you're not alone. We've had the phone ringer shut off for 2 weeks.... And you should have seen the scumbag that showed up at our door one night last week. Long scraggly dreadlocks, full beard, dirty t-shirt and jeans. I opened the door and this bum asked to talk to my daughter! I almost yelled to Buick to grab a shotgun, but got myself under control long enough to tell this bum that Ellen was away at college. He then proceeds to try and get me to agree to listen to his speil about who he was trying to gather support for in the election.... Felt SO good slamming the door in his face!!!

Rye Miles #13621 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I usually watch Fox News and lately it's all debate,debate,debate!! Drives me nuts! I watched 2 episodes of Gunsmoke tonight instead of Fox and I never seen either of 'em before. I love that show. I think I'm gonna swear off on politics, I'll vote pro-gun but I'm not paying attention to all this BS anymore! Someone said that BOTH Romney and Nobama have visited my fair state of Ohio a record number of times because it's a "battleground state". When either is elected we'll never see 'em again until the next election! What a bunch of BS, ALL OF 'EM! Grrrr.................... Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bama Red Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Springfield Lil and I already know our votes don't count. No one campaigns here, neither of the candidates or their running mates live in the state and the national media has been telling us for months that only states like Ohio, Florida, California and Colorado matter to these two yahoos. But we will perform our solemn duty on Election Day and cast our ballots, then come home and see how the two parties divided the pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calico Mary Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I never would let any of them in! I'm pretty sure this guy was really campaigning for a candidate, for some reason those groups get info on brand new voters and then specifically target them to try and influence their vote. Ellen just registered this year, she was eligible last year but there really wasn't any kind of election. The guy knew her name, just didn't know she lives 4 hours west...

EE Taft Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Had a feller pull up 4 years ago while I was flingin' birds in the air and bustin' em'....... Had a SxS in my hands and pointed well away from the driveway.......When he pulled up, he rolled down the window as I made a shot (a hit at that) and I glanced back at him........He said "Have you given any thought to your vote this election?" As I loaded I replied "Sure have". He started to talk and I interupted him by saying (As I faced well away from his car) "Ya probably better leave.....I'd hate to miss and hit yer car by mistake!" ..........I didn't even watch him pull out to see what the bumper sticker said. Nowadays the UPS guy is about the only one that comes around. ~EE Taft~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Dan, SASS #24025 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Utah Bob et al, Tune it ALL out....I do. (Surprised by that from one who writes a political column?)
