2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThis is what my friend posted on Facebook.
"Really getting tired of all this political drama... Is this really the country I fought for.. Corporate greed... Lies and propaganda all over the TV. People spending million and millions of dollars for a office that doesn't even pay a million a year. Kind of makes me wonder what did I fight for? I love my country just getting tired of the people who or running it."
This was a response to Rick Scott's voter suppression.

(320,589 posts)romney's doing it so he can steal more from the country for him and his PLUTOcrats and President Obama is running for re-election so he can save our country and its people from another 8 years of a bush-cheney only exponentially WORSE.
It's a good investment for us and Future Generations.
Florida's Nightmare, Rick Scott, is another one who needs to go. I don't live in a swing state or even have a tv for the ads here in Hawai'i but, I empathize with those who are really getting sick of it. It's almost OVER.

(45 posts)Dear Teapublicans, Please be advised that your days of freedom are numbered now. In FACT the buses will be along in just 48 hours now to collect you from your homes and transport you to those FEMA death camps where you'll be forced to endure nonstop liberal propaganda and sharia law. You'll be put to work in chain gangs repaving roads and reparing bridges. Your wives and daughters will be forced to breed with dark-skinned people and their babies will be aborted at random. Your homes and belongings will be redistributed amongst the union thugs who run the camps and your bibles will be used as fuel to heat those homes. You will endure psychologically scarring conditioning regimens to convert you into muslim atheists like Obama and you will all be given free cell phones whether you want them or not bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
