that is what my co-worker described these anti-obama’s customers as - morons and rednecks!!! and my co-worker is one of the angriest people i have ever met!! i would like to ask her - what has Obama done for you lately?
i love it when people come to our store and i see them buying books by dinesh d’souza on Obama and some of the other anti-Obama books that have come out. i live in a liberal town, so it makes me feel like i am not alone.

From Breitbart:
’Dilbert’ Author Endorses Romney, Professional Left Freaks Out****Scott Adams, the creator of the popular comic strip “Dilbert,” endorsed Mitt Romney on his blog Wednesday. The reaction he received from liberal news sites was predictably outraged and, in Adams’ hands, hilarious. Adams chronicled the results of his announcement in a series of updates which point out just how absurd the professional left can be when someone goes off the liberal reservation for any reason.
Granted, Adams’ reasons for endorsing Romney aren’t the usual ones you’ll hear from conservatives about growing debt and a slow-speed economic recovery. The issue Adams takes exception to in his post is Obama’s tough stance on medical marijuana. Adams links to a story on the Huffington Post which outlines how the owner of a marijuana “dispensary” in California is facing ten years to life in prison. Adams suggests that Obama, who used pot frequently in high school as part of the “choom gang,” has taken a tough line purely for political expediency.
While Adams has no illusions that Romney plans to embrace marijuana legalization, he does believe Romney is more flexible, more of a political pragmatist. And since the issue in this case is California’s right to effectively legalize pot under the rubric of medical marijuana, Adams hopes Romney might be more open to this kind of states’ rights argument.

Not really. I recognize liberals as people who people who subscribe to different ideological beliefs than I do. I adhere to conservative principles in good faith, so I’m equally convinced that liberals act in the same manner. Liberals and conservatives, in general, believe they are right in devising the means for achieving a better society. Socialists mean well by advocating a strong central government and wealth re-distribution. I simply disagree with their ideology. Their hearts are in the right place, just like mine.
Most of my friends in Washington, DC, are black Catholic lawyers who are extremely liberal. I love my friends, but we constantly debate our separate political beliefs at the courthouse, day in and day out. After often heated discussions, we remain the best of friends. Go figure …

I was almost swayed to vote for Obama after “The Great Binder Blunder”.
Mark Steyn:
I have no idea why Republicans still insist on bringing up trivial, peripheral distractions like Benghazi, Obamacare, multi-trillion-dollar debt, unsustainable entitlements, permanent long-term unemployment, and the looming January 1 “fiscal cliff.”
Almost. I will still be voting for Romney, despite his binders.

Despite the influence of liberal academia? Amazing! Well, she’s still young so there’s room for further growth. BTW, congratulations in advance on her college graduation.Well, my daughter used to be a Democrat when she was in (Catholic ) high school and voted for Obama.

The “binder” issue is blown out of proportion much like Obama’s “not optimal” statement (the latter, yes, poor choice, but he was replying to what stewart had asked and Steward had used the word “not optimal” in his question).
But according to Obama, all women need to be happy are access to birth control and access to abortion. That is insulting.

I’m glad you brought up the “not optimal” comment which some Republicans, including even John McCain, have pounced upon. As to your other remark about Obama, when did he, either explicitly or implicitly, express this sentiment?

Thanks. She’s actually graduating within 4 years, a rather unusual event according to her.
Rural Missouri, where her school is located is pretty conservative, even though it’s in the 3rd biggest city in MO!! Never-the-less, she does have a critical mind. She had to listen to me rant to NPR for four years on the way to school every morning!

Completely agree. It hurts the integrity of the Republican cause when non-items like this are demonized and overblown.

I concur. Anna is a fine young woman, and we can excuse one easily corrected error in judgment.

Thank you for your post asking about Obama’s sentiment. No, he has not every publicly stated or expressed it, but the emphasis from his camp on contraception and abortion seems to infer that the # 1 issue for women is having access to abortion and contraception. There is also the “war on women” that permeates from the left and not allowing women access to abortion and contraception is like not arming soldiers.

I don’t think the numbers have actually changed that much, just how they are being read. Obama has been about 43% to 45% from the beginning. If the massive deficients, massive failures in foreign policy, 14% unemployment and the rest haven’t changed their minds a couple lousy debate performances sure won’t do it either. Romney was at 40% and is now near 50% - leaving only 5% undecided. Most likely that 5% won’t vote or will flip a coin in the booth.Unlike the national polls, I don’t suspect there will be much of a shift in the CAF polls.

I think they will either not vote, or vote Romney. With the exception of 2004, the undecides have gone to the challenger in every race since 1980.
