A bit of politics...

Nice couple of posts there. You could make it easier on yourself and move into a neighborhood full of Mormons, hehe. I know Beck keeps advocating Texas and Oklahoma as self sufficient/minimum government states, but it occurs to me that rural Utah will have food and fuel for years after the Romulans blow up our sun.

Essentialy, we agree. Now perhaps to talk in terms of "the end of America" is the wrong phrasing and a bit extreme. But certainly, CERTAINLY, it's now prudent to talk (and prepare for) in terms of a major, sharp "correction" on par with the Great Depression. As we discussed, at some point the math wil kick in, and that "at some point" will likely look very, very ugly.

The politics I eluded to in my title: I found this shocking... 3 millon LESS Republicans turned out to vote for Romney than did McCain. I couldn't believe this at first. Now remember, Obama beat Romney in the popular vote by 2.8 million. Those 3 mil were registered Republicans. Romney didn't close the deal with his base, let alone Independents. Why? I have long thought that the man best able to turn out our base was President Obama. Is it possible that because the GOP nominated another moderate the base was supressed? Titus mentioned on the phone that had that been a Ryan-Romney ticket we would have done better, that we have to stop giving the nomination to the guy who came in second the last time. I think that 3 million number proves him right. A stark choice, a bold contrast instead of pale pastels as Reagan said. How often do you hear the word "Libertarian" these days? When we were growing up that word was non existent in everyday conversation. These are ex Republicans, fed up with the GOP. And now John Boehner, arguably the most powerful Republican in office now as Speaker of the House, says that they will consider tax hikes when negotiating with the PoTUS, "under the right circumstances."

Wow. Nice John. That's sure to roust those 3 million Republicans off the couch.
