upthread, someone said that conservatives fear if Obama wins these will be the last free elections. I fear the same thing. I can see an armed group of ultraconservatives taking over and making sure it is our last.
But I'm paranoid since hearing the TAL about the New Hampshire State House.

In other words, when a conservative says that they think it will be the last election, I wonder if they are voicing a fear or a threat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I heard they are going to take our guns and replace them with Qurans!
ION, my boss just told me that the standard HR response here to my question about if I can work from home while waiting for a delivery is "no." Are you kidding me with that? I would be happy with a day off, but I think I have too much work to do! My boss is allowed to use her discretion, though.
Also, do they not understand exactly how much time I can spend not-working while I'm sitting here??

You and me both, Kat. I keep trying to tone down my paranoia for DH & the kids, but part of me truly fears violence .

1 troops will not be marching in the street becuase Obama hate the military and wants AMerica weak.
2 the government will not shut down because he will work from day 1 to make it the biggest government ever, converting all military bases into welfare offices.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I read that we won't see any exit polls until the polls start closing on the East coast. Which is 6:00 PM Eastern, IIRC.
Looks like I have a long afternoon of slacking ahead of me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The whole federal government will be SHUT DOWN!
For renovations, while liberals make it bigger? I'm so confused, am I supposed to be terrified that Obama's policies have ruined the country, or angry that Obama hasn't done anything???

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I am sick of hearing about respecting the other side, and about people being tired of hearing about the election. Fuck that. When the other side is actively working to take away rights from families like mine, that is a fucking attack. It's not politics for some of us. It hurts to know that my own parents, aunts, uncles, cousins are voting for someone who'd love to wipe our families off the map. We are having a hard time keeping the peace. It may be "one issue" for some people, but I'd be hard pressed to find one that is more important than basic fucking rights. How they can look at my kid's face and go in and vote for Romney. It just makes my blood boil. And they wonder why we won't move to the South. BECAUSE OF YOU, FOOLS! And I haven't even mentioned the anti-woman shit.
Sorry, I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but there are few places I can say it without causing a family war so...
