(If) Obama wins...

[Good Times]

Something funny I read....



...I'll have to institute new policies for my small business:

As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama officially becomes president-elect, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:

1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales and bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are under-achieving a "fair shake".

2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst you. This will help those who are "too busy for overtime" to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.

3. All top management will now be referred to as "the government." We will not participate in this "pooling" experience because the law doesn't apply to us.

4. The "government" will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard "for the good of all".

5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it's "good to spread the wealth around". Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more "patriotic".

6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't feel bad, though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flat screen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?)!!!


I got a chuckle out of it. :)

sad thing is, if that ends up being true, can say good bye to honest hard working americans,, more lazy people, and i cant say much because im a little on the lazy side but still i hate taking others who beat me to the punch in sales when i didnt do it

[wifesaysimadumbass]

if they start that kind of shit i'm moving to austrailia

[20005spd]

#6 is great, maybe obama wants everyone to be on food stamps like he was :loser: :rofl:

BURNN!! :lol:

[wifesaysimadumbass]

have yo heard this new clip on you tube about him having a civilian national security force that is as strong as our military? sounds like hitlers brown shirts all over again. and also ask yourself this what if Mccain does win but only by a small margin he will be the illegitimate president that all these leftys claim Bush is. the one thing that truly worries me more than all of these other issues combined is VOTER FRAUD!!!!!!I HAVE TO USE MY I.D. TO GET ON A PLANE OR TO USE MY CREDIT CARD BUT I DONT HAVE TO TO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!dont give me the argument that it will disinfranchise poor people! if they cant have an id then they shouldn't vote anyways!!!!

[neliconcept]

i have not heard anything about a civilian corp (why if we have a national guard system), but there's so many people who are almost cult-like in devotion to obama (those crazy parents making their kids sing obama's praises) that i wouldnt be surprised if they at least tried.

i'm sure there will be voter fraud, but as it appears now, he has a pretty sizeable lead in the battle ground states. mccain would basically need to win them all (all of the ones that GWB won in 04) to even have a chance. but if there is a surprise like the bradley effect and mccain wins, i'm gonna come home early and make sure me and the misses are well hunkered down. i do believe that there would be some type of civil unrest if mccain won.

[04 Rocko Taco]

I've seen plenty of news reports leading me to beleive that if McCain can pull this one out, this country will be in FLAMES tomorrow. Riots everywhere.

[drguitarum2005]

One of the biggest problems with our society today is our laziness (as mentioned above)/our lack of ethics. everyone already tries to get everything for nothing and mr Obama will just make that even easier. yeah lets give everyone free health care woohoo! now the money that i WORKED HARD FOR will go to pay to fix the problems of the guy who doesn't have to get a job or do any work because he gets FREE healthcare.

sigh. we shall now be known as the United Socialist States of America or the USSA

[X-Tool Pimp]

Who's taking bets on the assassination date?

[Bob98SR5]

X,

Not what i'd call appropriate, but i dont doubt that there's the possiblity that it might happen. 2 skinheads were already caught plotting it a few weeks back.

I am hopeful that Obama can at the very least bring some optimism to the country, but the cult of personality thing is really starting to make me cringe. i will sit and watch all those promises be unfulfilled because the rich he purports to tax will find safe havens for their money. trust me, rich people aren't stupid.

[X-Tool Pimp]

Im not trying to be mean, racist or talk chit, just stating the facts. Im afraid it will happen.

[calrockx]

I was watching Fox News tonight and Shepard Smith had a good line...

"If you're conservative and angry, GET OVER YOURSELF!"

[calrockx]

haha i did vote for prop K, bummer i won't pass. and i'm really not liking that prop 8 will likely pass. aye, still progress to be made, but overall a good night.

[Bob98SR5]

X,

No, i know you weren't. it is what it is. i'm afraid that it might happen and i think its safe to say that all of us would be terribly affected to lose a president to assasination.

i have never seen such a poorly organized/run and poorly thought out running mate than mccain's campaign. for all you karl rove haters out there, do you now see why he was the top dog in the republican election machine? he knew how to win the election game and make key issues central hot button issues that resonated into votes.

i would say that obama's campaign did a masterful job of riding the wave all the way to the end. proving once again that money greases the cogs in the wheel, and no politician, even obama who derides "corporate greed" did not turn down corp money, will ever turn down money to run an effective campaign

[wifesaysimadumbass]

are you mad at me bob?
oh lord one good thing about the election is that at least we wont have a bunch of hippies driving around with a loser president bumper stickers on their car!!!!

[slosurfer]

:laugh: You can tell who the smarter ones were, as they used their Obama stickers to cover up their Kerry stickers. :laugh:

[hillbilly]

Granted, McCain's campaign wasn't without flaws. But, carrying 1800lbs worth of Bush/Cheney on his back absolutely killed him. I renounce both parties as a long time registered Independent, and have despised the current Administration for many reason, for as many years.

Yet, I still voted for McCain based on his principles, previous records, and willingness to stick his neck out against the majority/popularity. Simply put, Obama's predominant record of voting "present" didn't leave me much to go on. And his 20 year association with Rev. Wright just doesn't sit well with me.

For those upset by McCain's loss, you had your 8 year run. Including House & Senate majority, and completely blew it. I have no sympathy for you.

My fear is for my children's future. If handouts for those not willing to help themselves are made readily available, it will only breed complete and utter complacency.

[slosurfer]

Haven't the Dems had the house and senate majority for the past 4 years? :headscratch:

Edit: It's been the past 2 years, not 4 years, that the Dems have had the majority in both houses.

[AxleIke]

This happens every election.

Whoever loses begins crying about the end of this country, and woe is them. Yet, bizarrely, the country persists, and by and large, stays the same.

In 1992, Clinton was elected with a democratic house and senate. Yet, we remained capitalist, and the economy boomed. There were some scary moments in the area of gun control, but, yet, we made it through.

Bush took office and two years later had a strong approval rating, and a republican controlled house and senate. Here we are in 2008...Still here, still doing fine.

There were, and are, issues to be fixed after both Clinton and Bush, to be sure, but by an large, here we are. I don't know about you, but I still have a roof over my head, food in my pantry, and several cars, including a Toyota 4wd. Compared to some places in this world, I feel I'm doing great.

This country will not change from a democratic republic to a socialist republic, that I can guarantee you.

More to the point, stop believing the stream of sewage that spews forth from the corrupt media. They will tell you anything to make a profit. Read for yourself. Do your own research, and quit believing anything you are told.

If you are pissed off, then get off your asses and participate more. Voting in elections is about the bare minimum you can do to be involved in your political processes. How many here actually volunteered for a campaign, or donated money? How about tried to raise money? Ever written your congressman, or senator? Do you even know who your congressman is? Or his voting record? If you have an issue that is important to you, there is a lobby, guaranteed. Get in touch with them, find out how you can make an impact.

Talk and discuss with people who disagree with you, but try to do so without being a condescending asshole. I laugh when I read threads on the internet for one candidate or another, and the supporters rabidly attack the dissenters. I cannot think of a faster way to keep someone from changing their mind than to treat them in this way. If you want support for your cause, you must be willing to rationally discuss the issue with someone, listen to their views, and have actual facts to back you up. Be willing to concede that they have valid points, and that their opinion is respected, but that you disagree with them, and point out the flaws in their logic tactfully and civilly.

Lastly, I can finally watch TV without the stupid political ads taking up valuable gluttonous product placement ads.

[wifesaysimadumbass]

well put Ike!! i can't stand when i try to have a rational argument with someone and they just shout me down..... i still think the nation will regret their choice mostly in the wallet department but i am keeping an open mind. I cant holler till i've been hit.....

"You Americans are so gullible, no you won't accept Communism outright. But we'll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy unitl you fall like overipe fruit into our hands."

hillbilly,

i went independent 2 years ago b/c i was absolutely disgusted by the current administration's abject failure to reign in the very things that made me switch to them: corruption, arrogance, mismanagment, etc. the only thing good that i will take away from the administration is the war on terror. despite the left wing media's silence on the issue, we have killed or captured more of al queda's senior leadership than all years of the clinton administration. i like the fact that we tell other nations "we know you guys are harboring terrorist a, b and c...if you dont turn them over, we'll cross your border and f'g kill them ourselves". my hope is that this will continue, but obama seems so hell bent and drunk on his mission to "restore our prestige" in the world...which basically means like they did in the clinton days. which essentially meant "don't kill anybody until you see them with blood on their knives and you personally caught them doing it". a pussified america that bin laden said over and over again that "america is a paper tiger"

[Bob98SR5]

are you mad at me bob?
oh lord one good thing about the election is that at least we wont have a bunch of hippies driving around with a loser president bumper stickers on their car!!!!


i was trying to figure out why i would be mad at you...read thru page 1 and i see why you said that. but yeah, im mad at you because you painted a totally inaccurate picture: you forgot to add that i'd be shooting with one hand and grilling the neighbor's dog in the other!

sheesh!!!

;)

Agreed. The current Admin has alienated many. And the war on terror has helped, but hasn't been perfect either. First and foremost, had the Bush Admin just been straight with us on the reasoning up front, the People may have had an entirely different opinion of this effort now.

I'd like to see election rules changed to allow Independents to vote in Primaries. I see no reason why Independents shouldn't be able to influence Primaries just because they don't 'drink the Kool-Aid' of either the Republican/Democratic parties. The way I see it, Independents could vote for either a Rep/Dem candidate of their choosing, and those aligned with a respective party vote for one their parties candidates.

For 20 years, I have refused to align myself with either party just to play along. This year, I had several visitors stop by my door step hoping to sway my pre/post Primaries registration. The size/scope of Obama's campaign engine was well oiled and funded to have sent that may greeters to my rural doorstep.

[fustercluck]

...and now we see that we are well on our way to accepting socialism to save us from ourselves.

The trouble with socialism is that its voracious appetite for other people's money and produce eventually ovewhelms human incentive and consumes even itself.

It appears we are willing to consume more poison on the promise that in greater concentration it is the antidote.

For lack of better words, were in a giant well fuster cluck... Know what I mean fuster?

[fustercluck]

Yup, we're clucked.
