An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings

The Libs Were Right

I have to admit it. My democratic/liberal friends were right. They told me if I voted for McCain, the nation’s Hope would deteriorate, and sure enough there has been a 20 point drop in the Consumer Confidence Index since the election, reaching a lower point than any time during the Bush administration.

They told me if I voted for McCain, the US would become more deeply embroiled in the Middle East, and sure enough tens of thousands of additional troops are scheduled to be deployed into Afghanistan.

They told me if I voted for McCain, that the economy would get worse and sure enough unemployment is approaching 8.8% and the new stimulus packages implemented recently have sent the stock market lower than at any time since 9-11.

They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more “crooks” in high ranking positions in Federal government and sure enough, several recent cabinet nominees and Senate appointments revealed resumes of bribery and
tax fraud.

Well I ignored my Democrat friends in November and voted for McCain. And they were right… all of their predictions have come true.

    Haha. I share the blame. Oh, if only I hadn’t voted for John McCain.

    I think we’re getting to the point where having “None Of The Above” as a ballot choice is viable.

    Well, we ALL should have voted for “None of the Above”! Right and left. The NY Slimes pushed an old RINO on us, and then anointed The ONE. Problem is, that ONE is a complete moron, totally incompetent, and juvenile.

    At least if we had voted for The Won we could now soothe ourselves by crying “This is the Barack Obama I had projected!”

    Sorry, “This is NOT the Barack obama I had projected”

    LOL I was wondering about that. Glad you cleared that up for me. :P
