We in the south did not vote for Obama.

I don't see this as a valid agruement because one could also say that Obama carried the states with higher educational levels. The south is not known for having a great wealth of intelligence. Great Football, yes. Higher education, no.

punk asks " hey can I have a dollar to get me some smokes"

Me : " go ask Obama for the money, I am broke"

punk: "hey man I know you got it, I just saw you put it away"

Me: "you bet your azzz and thats where its gonna stay"....by then I had already sat in my vehicle and had my hand on my Gerber hunting knife which I sometimes carry next to the console...

said punk starts to take a couple of steps toward me , at which time I show him what was in my hand. He stops dead in his tracks and says with a dead serious face

" man, I was just askin for a dolla, no need to go pullin no blade on a brother, I see you got plenty"

I wonder what he would have said if I had the Sig .40 with me.....


Guess Rush was right today when he said " you can't beat Santa Claus"

Had you paid attention while working on your GED, you would know that there are parts of Texas and Florida more south than where I live!

He said parts of those states had locations further south than where he lives in Louisiana. Never said he could go south to either one of them. Beside the fact that florida and Louisiana do not connect geographically.

Hermain Cain contended: Obama ran a popularity contest campaign, and that's what happened. At least partially right.

Rush added, as Bon noted, who wouldn't vote for Santa Claus? When you hit the tipping point when as many are getting from the govt as there are sending money to the govt, you're going to have a problem getting enough people to vote for giving the goodies back.

Can't believe that Hurricane Sandy came to O's aid! A great photo op with Christie. And actually did NOT do a thing to really help. Alabama utility workers were not allowed to work in NJ because they were non-union workers! Gasoline lines in NY and NJ remain a mile long. Generators and supplies brought into NY for the marathon (that was cancelled) just sat there when they could have been useful to those in distress.

Well, as long as you don't include Texas (heavily Repub) in that, you might have a point, but Texas has at least three universities (t.u. Austin, Rice, and Texas A&M (I think SMU was also in there) listed in the top 200 in the WORLD. We also have NASA, Dell, etc., so we at least have a wealth of cognitive reserves on which to draw.
