...i have to say i was in shock, so much so i was speechless! he told me there were several reasons, mainly he's fed up with the birther issue, and that Rmoney destroyed businesses and profited from peoples misery, not to mention the tax returns...his words..."i can't vote for a candidate that won't make his taxes public"....this is the same brother, with whom after nearly getting into a fistfight with 10 years ago over the bush admin, swore off talking politics between us again ever.....if he can have a change of heart, anyone can....keep pushing our message folks...

Yeah I'm sure a life long republican will vote for 0bama and his Marxism.  :mental:
I love the part that Romney destroyed businesses when Bain Capital had about a 98% success rate, compare that to 0bama who is destroying businesses by the score.  :banghead:

2. The few Romney signs that were up in my town are all gone.

They were in front of the properties of some dressage horsey types, too. There were close to half a dozen of them a few months ago. Every last one of them is gone. I thought they may have been ruined by the recent rains, but they still have up signs for candidates running for local races. I was kind of surprised when I noticed they were gone.

I live in a redder-than-average part of South Carolina, BTW.

20. You know, I've only seen on Romney sticker in my area, which is majority (R)

It's weird.. No stickers at all. Plenty of Obama/2012 stickers... Romney, in an affluent areas like this with mostly retirees and military officers, he should be represented, but he's not. All I see are TONS of Pay-per-click ads on EVER site I've been on lately. Telling me that I need to get the "truth" about Romney, how he "Saved" struggling businesses. Yeah.. by sending them to China.

25. I live in a very red area. Romney was here earlier in the month and there were people

lined up for a mile (acording to a very, very Republican newspaper) to see him.

And yet I think I've only seen one or two Romeny stickers. This place is usually awash in the Republican stickers and not jsut in election years. We had eight or more years of Bush stickers. John McCain stickers are still affixed to some cars' bumpers.

It's very strange.

15. My husband went from Bush supporter to voting for Obama..

And changed his registration to Dem... In FL that counts!!

He finally realizes that we r too poor to be Repuglican... And he is easier on Obama than I am... "it takes time to climb out of the hole that idiot Bush left for us."

While I'm much more of a socialist/ democrat... Like Medicare for all, and a few other items I believe should be collectively taken care of as a society like education.... Well there's a long list and I'm not feeling like preaching to the choir for the most part.

21. I had a similar shock

My ex-husband (decorated Vietnam Marine Corps vet) and wife, dyed in the wool southern repubs in the FLA panhandle, are disgusted with the idiocy and craziness of the party. Definitely will not vote R this time.

Every election they do this, they tell us tales of how their "republican" friends and family all of a sudden are voting for socialism. It was especially bad in 2004 where there was thread after thread of how they convinced their freeper friend to vote for Kerry.

how exactly did he vote for McCain then? McCain only released 2 years of tax returns the same as Romney. This guy deserves the dem party. good riddance.

It's a bullshit fairy tale this DUmbass is making up to make itself feel better.  These are normal and expected cycles that happen during every election cycle where they know their side is going down in flames.

Even if the story was true.......one canidate in my town went through four sets of signs in some areas as they were stolen.

I don't put stickers on my new vehicle. I don't drive an '86 chevy truck and need to patch a rust hole in the tailgate with an Obama sticker.... :lmao:

Stupid DUmmies.

What are they doing destroying the enviroment by driving cars????  :-)

They're not letting go of the "dressage horse" pearl, which is fine by me. I love it when libs have their subterfuge blow up in their face, and then stay stuck on it, never learning from their assumptions that their problems are "messaging", and not subject related.

The brother was a republican all the way through grammer school but all of a sudden now that he's in the seventh grade and old enough to vote, he's a democrat.

My uncle AND his wife, lifelong democrats, told me they were voting for Romney. If you were telling the truth that means that one of their votes negates your brother's vote, and the other puts your lord and master at a -1. Since you are lying and I'm telling the truth it means your lord and master is at a -3. Of course, considering the amount of lies that you DUmmies tell, you may not even have a brother which would only put your lord and master at a -2. That ought to put a tingle up your leg.

I live in the bluest of blue democrat party machine town and can count on one hand the number of 0 stickers. While i have never put a sticker on for the obvious reason of leftist vandalism I have bought a real POS truck that I will be putting  R2  and anti-0 stickers on. I fully expect to get a broken window because there is no paint to key, only rust. Won't be too surprised when some DUchebag posts about a beat up truck, not voting for my interests, and the like because I'm pretty sure quite a few of them live here.
