Speakeasy forum: Received in the snail mail today

He knows his electorate.

My daughter, who has lived away for almost two years, is also getting Obama mail. We've gotten Romney mail but it has both of our names. Earlier on, all my political calls and mail seemed to come from Obama sources or dealt with Democrat party platform issues. The Romney mail has come late but in tidal waves these past few weeks. The phone calls and robo messages have followed that same pattern. Most people I've spoken with wish this would all stop. I could suppose that saturating people's mailboxes and ringing their phones too often could backfire.

a social worker. She's now a member of a teacher's union but in a Catholic school system so they don't strike. I'm sure she received this just for being female the same as she receives other mail supporting Obama based on gender. These mailings always speak about birth control and abortion. Of course those are the only two issues considered to be important enough to women to make them also important for political reasons. Women don't care about anything else, right?

Interestingly enough, I received a political mailing today that I mistook for a Romney add. The title on the front was "Had enough? " Well...Of course I've had enough. What a dumb question but it turned out that this was an Obama ad noting the sudden flood of Romney ads that were critical of the president. The "had enough" referred to Romney's negative campaigning. Duh!!...and Obama offers nothing but soft sell of himself and kind words for his rival? These ad people must think we're all stupid and gullible.

Ok, that's enough verbiage for now. Go ahead...copy and paste your heart out.

It's not that they don't care about anything else...it could be the most important thing they care about that affects their vote.

In an election the voter(whether male or female) can only vote for one person...they have to choose which is the most important factor that influences their vote, IF that's the most important factor to them...then that influences their vote.

They haven't perfected a method to tell exactly which "influencing factor" determines how an individual will vote, YET...But they are working on it.

How about going with the whole package rather than the cherries?

How about

Whichever party has the MOST "cherries" gets YOUR vote? And you're stuck with the "package".

That's what you are doing when you vote for the person that agrees with you on YOUR most important factor.

Do you agree with EVERY SINGLE plank in their platform?...As if you were sharing the same brain? Absolutely nothing they've said that you disagree with?

IF you disagree with anything they've said.....you're going with the whole package...Whether you want to or not.

IF you could "mix and match" politicians, would you build one with the points you like from each party?

that doesn't agree with them?

Sounds like a good move....Vote for a rebel.

I guess you call them Independents.

He refers to 'cuts' he will make and then in the next sentence he refers to how he will 'use the money saved' from those cuts to 'invest' in other projects or programs. There is NO possible way to cut and spend the same cut moneys and reduce the deficit......the money spent will be exactly the same but diverted to other areas so we will still be looking at $1T+ deficits every year AGAIN.

How does he get away with this crap?

for flying with shoestrings. Grab your shoestrings, pull them up hard enough, and you'll just float away.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!!!

that not one liberal here in SE wishes to explain, or try to, BO's plan to cut and then spend the same money and not have it change the annual deficits let alone the national debt.
