Why I have issues with the left

This is why I have distain for a lot of people on the left.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I am so proud of the country. To reelect this president and overcoming -- not because of the partisanship or even the policies. Here's an African-American guy with an unusual background -- part immigrant background, part African-American background -- with all this assault on him from day one. From Mitch McConnell, from the clowns out there that will never be elected, never will be to anything.

And the way he took it, as someone said, with coolness and charm and dignity and took it and took it and kept moving forward and doing his job. And the American people, and I know we look at these percentage, 40% of white vote. Fine. That's about right among Democrats in the last couple cycles, three cycles or four. Good work for them. Good work for him. A good day for America.

I'm so glad we had that storm last week because I think the storm was one of those things. No, politically I should say. Not in terms of hurting people. The storm brought in possibilities for good politics.

And funny, I cannot stand Hilary.  Never could.  Not sure why exactly, just don't like her.

I think it's hilarious that someone left leaning prefers the guy on the right, and someone right leaning prefers the women on the left.....haha.  Kinda ironic don't you think?

Really?  Curious, how come you don't like him?  He seems like a pretty stand up guy to me.  No?

I have had a change of heart with Christie too. He certainly turned me in a 180 for sure. I would have to give him a second look for sure! I am truly impressed.

We here in florida are still waiting for the votes to be counted. Is this not pathetic or what! First they cut early voting in half, then they didn't have enuff machines or enuff staff to handle the turnout on Tuesday. This all goes back to Rick Scott as far as Im concerned and we will be taking care of him soon enuff. He is refusing to be interviewed on the subject.
The last person voted at 1:30 in the morning early Wednesday, hours after the election had been called.

Yep, people are totally ticked off!

Illegal immigration
Healthcare reform
Welfare reform
Fiscal concerns
National debt
Unemployment rate
Totally acceptable topics, though my headache is increasing just reading it.
Hows about National debt?
I have a great link I will post in a minute that explains it very concisely and briefly. Watch it and lets discuss away.

I like Christie.  Based on what I know so far and have seen of him, if I were American, he could probably get my vote.
