Presidential Election November 6th, 2012

[Patriot]

I hear you. These democrats get out of control with their laws. New York with the soda law. San Fransisco with their ban on happy meals at McDonald's.

I live in Seattle and the city council did something last month that only Chicago has done prior. They made it a law, a real law, that businesses in Seattle give their employees up to 9 PAID sick days a year. Think about that. It's mandatory to pay people to stay home and not work.

In my mind it isn't about anyone being elected by being bought and paid for.  I see it that poorly choosen politicians get voted in by voters simply making a poor choice through varied unsound reasoning, misinformation, and/or lack of knowledge in the first place.  Sometimes this group is the majority, and sometimes not.  Usually things have to get worse before a positive change is made.  Within 24 hours from now we'll see how it turns out this go around.

I for one believe it got bad enough during the last four years that we will see a change in favor of  Mitt Romney taking over.  Maybe I'm correct, maybe not.  We'll see.  What I'm even more curious about is how the balance or lack thereof ends up in the Senate race.

I voted based on one issue and one issue only"GUN RIGHTS".America squandered it's choice(Ron Paul)and future generation will be disappointed that was the case.You get NO choice.You do get choice at Baskin Robbins,it's called 21 flavors,now thats choice.

Well, seems nothing has changed.  Not the President, not the Senate, and not the House of Representatives.

I'm a bit worried about the direction we might be led during the next 4 years.  But, it is what it is, and for now at least, life goes on.

Buy it cheap and stack em deep.IMHO.ammo prices today will look good compared to what's coming.During the day of election,i was watching CNBC and gold and silver were really heading north all day.I said to the girl,gold and silver are showing Obama winning.Result,cont money printing by the Fed unabated.Cont inflation and materials go up,you get the point.Even those that roll their own will see it.

It sad day for America, she's hemorrhaging and dying a slow death! The worst part is that some people are too stupid to see what's coming!



Government Gone Wild! Buying Votes with Bailouts, Welfare, Food Stamps and Subsidies............GAME OVER!

We all have to write letters.  Lots of em.  Let Congress hear from us.

I have long thought we need to get organized to bury congress with mail, physical letters, any time they do something we don't like.  If every American who complained online about something they didn't like in Washinton had actually bought a stamp and mailed a letter there would be two truths.  First, the USPS would have a good business again.  Second, Congress would be buried in mail.

[The_Shadow]

Congress is as much to blame for this mess as the President!

[sqlbullet]

We the People elected both of them (president and congress).

[BEEMER!]

I was not surprised by the outcome of the elections, just disappointed.  I do not think it is the end of the United States as we know it, just 4 years closer to it.

[BEEMER!]

More good news.  The European stock markets are up on the US election news.

The United State's markets are down 2% across the board.

[sqlbullet]

Gold is up.

[EdMc]

Gold has been up and down through the day. I gave up on the financial markets a few years back.....nothing made sense anymore. Losing 30% of what we had had something to do with it too.

[wifecallsmegrumpy]

I guess you guys are in for it again.  I have to admit that Romney didn't exactly inspire confidence either.

[pacapcop]

46 million of food stamps,actually (SNAP) then disability,election is bought and paid for.Out sourceing of jobs over who knows how long,what would one expect.Ugly.When takers out do producers,game over.This has been ongoing,by the way both sides of the isle.
