    No, I don't intend to "get out of my funk." Gonna post some comments here and there today, then I'm taking my leave for a very long time.

    That said, on Romney I think you're dead wrong. He was the ideal candidate for Republicans. We couldn't have done any better. Good looking, hot lookin' wife. Well spoken. Fiscal not social conservative. Northeast ties, also from the Mid-west. It's almost like he came out of central casting.

    No, the problem is America. Like Chuck, Ran and Jim seem to imply, Americans are moochers by nature, they are not libertarians. They want free stuff.

    Too many are now on the government dole. And Democrats appeal to that. The Republican Party with its limited government and self-reliance ideology has zero appeal to these people.

I say we've got two to three years left before they start rounding up dissenters and sending us off to Nazi-style concentration camps. I've got a little more time, cause I live in Texas.

Arizona is a good place to be for now. But New York, Iowa, Michigan, Massachusetts, PA beware. You're vastly on the road to complete authoritarianism and statism. Grab your guns, protect what few things you have left. You're living in Nazi Germany circa 1933-34.

This isn't real, right?

Yep, instead of continuing to try and work for what they believe in their answer is to pout and "grab guns". That's fucking awesome.

Obama's great plan to seize guns after an arduous first 4 years and then a challenging re-election campaign is finally in place. SNEAK ATTACK GIMME YO GUNS.

I'm also looking forward to all the free stuff I'm supposed to be getting.

Well, there's also the "threat" of leaving the country, which has been made by assholes on both sides since the 2000 election (and probably before).  Thank goodness most of these people don't follow through on it, I'd hate to lose their contributions to society.

If you hate conservatism, there are many less conservative countries you can move to assuming you plan ahead and go through all the necessary paperwork and hope the country would even accept you. Fine. Good luck (those countries don't want you anyway).

If you think America is too socialist/liberal where the hell are you going to go? What country? I'm curious.

I'm not sure, now that Somalia has a central government again...

I'm sure some tribal nation-states in Africa embrace the benefits of lower capital gains taxes.

Here's something I've felt for a long time and now that this is all over, I wanted to get this out. The tag line, "Believe In America" is something in itself that would keep me from voting for Mitt.

No, it's not because it's suggesting that the other guy doesn't believe in America ("Forward" instead of "Backward").  It's because it's suggesting that religion and faith are what's needed.

I grew up in Skokie, going to a Hebrew school where it seemed every other week we had a Survivor (and not like the Curb version of Survivor) coming in to talk to us.  The message I took from that: People will hate you because of your religion and they'll try to change you or kill you.

When I see from today's GOP "Believe in America" I see "Believe in Jesus."  Especially when it comes from a guy who literally believes Jesus was here and will have a future presence in Missouri.  That loses me instantly.

If the GOP wants my regular vote, talk to me about economics and defense and foreign policy and entitlements.  Cut the God shit out.  I've got a place to go talk and learn about that, and it's not in Washington.

Chuck, if you weren't listening to the GOP's talk about economics, defense, foreign policy and entitlements, I'm not sure where you've been. But really, "Believe in America" is a reason not to vote for Romney? By this logic, wouldn't Forward be just as objectionable? Or how about "Hope?"

The other thing that disturbs me Chuck is that you apparently have your own religious litmus test. Mitt Romney said "Believe in America" and that combined with his Mormonism disqualifies him from office.

I cast a total of 72 votes Tuesday. One candidate won and one vote against a referenda appears to have helped it fail (it got a majority for, but failed to get 60%). So, I was in the minority on 71 of 72 votes that I made. I look around the state and see Jesse Jackson Jr winning, Derrick Smith winning, a bunch of Madigan-ites winning, overwhelming non-binding votes to repeal part of the 1st Amendment winning and I shrug, knowing in my heart that sometimes wisdom is in short supply.

Then I hear an explanation from a college-educated, articulate, smart, generous, open-minded, successful friend that "Believe in America" is offensive and I question everything.

I get the appeal of Obama. I understand the problems people have with Mitt. But I will spend some time contemplating the problem you have with "Believe in America."

More or less time than you spend contemplating his views on Soriano?
