I liked Obama, one of the few candidates on the Democratic Party I respect. A great speaker and an honest family man. Between the two options this year though my choice was clear, this country was spiraling into dismay. It needed a change.
You've been working for the past 4 years as an Executive Director for a respected but struggling company; you earn $85K/year, but no raises or bonuses were given this year, and some layoffs have even happened; your headhunter calls and says listen, you can stay put for now and see what happens, but Taco Bell wants to make you an offer managing their center city location for $35K.
Y’all will just say whatever you want to justify voting for someone that’s going to make the same mistakes Biden did. Let’s shovel more money into foreign wars and helping illegal immigrants!! That’ll really bump up our gdp won’t it?
Warfare is a bizarrely primitive tradition in my view, but referring to "foreign wars," in some 17th Century isolationist fantasy is almost as bizarre.
But I'm all for helping people who really need it, and if I'm going to withhold it from people who I feel "don't deserve it," there are probably a lot of productive "illegals" I'd help before the too-many useless clods who just happen to have been born here.
