Gleaning Facebook: Fired Up Folks Vote

Recovery is in its fifteenth month. The President led us in avoiding depression & stopped the bleeding of unemployment & we've begun to produce - slowly - actual job growth. October was the best month for manufacturing since the recession started under the last administration. Those are facts. 

Hotheads always vote. Please go out and temper the tempers with a little sweet reason in the voting booth.

Thanks, Virginia!

Was planning to vote... did not realize that made me a hothead... was actually thinking about a libertarian vote to protest all the crap the goober-torial canidates are throwing at each other... but if enough people did that we might have to have a run off and hear how sleazy attorneys are and how dirty business men are for another full month.

My point is that in midterms, particularly, those who are "anti" usually have a disproportionate influence because they are fired up. In 2006 it was my side. This time it is yours.

Those who show up at the polls get to make the choices.

I doubt you qualify as one of my "hotheads". The hotheads are those who are angrily tossing around "socialist", "Kenyan", or, as one fella did "Muslum"(sic). I have no interest in wasting time and effort in debating those who label as "socialist" those who support a national health care program that does not even include a public option. Those are folks who would remove "promote the general welfare" from the preamble, end public education completely, and take Ben Franklin off the $100 bill because supported a government postal service.

I guess I qualify as a hothead as I am voting this afternoon for those who "say" (and I hope they aren't lying like most true politicians) that they will reverse the path we are on, and Terry it is socialism by any definition you use. It is "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". Marxism and redistribution of wealth if ever there has been. "Promote the general welfare" was never intended to mean to take care of the needs of every citizen. Whatever happened to the American spirit of individualism and individual responsibilty. Americans have always porvided to those in need through our faith based charities but we seem to have removed faith from our country the same way we have removed God.
P.S. I will vote for Amendment #2!

Weather he led us in avoiding depression remains open Dick.
The pundits will answer that. To me he blew it.

Nora: I don't understand your comment, but if I have said anything to offend you I am heartily sorry for these my misdoings and humbly beseech you to forgive me. I stand by my contention, which I was trying to get across to my fellow Democrats, that those who are het up, like I was in 2006 and like my political opponents are this year, tend to turn out in elections when many other folk, relatively satisfied with the status quo, are much less likely to. If Democrats don't get off their hinies today, we're gonna be in even more serious trouble than polling says we will be.

I'll try to respond to some of these comments later, but can't right now.
