The only Political Thread on Www.Hotboat.Com

Never say never right?

This is your once and only chance to post political content on this site. Any other thread started will be immediately deleted. So be warned.

I think I've earned the right to start this thread. And I know many of you are foaming at the mouth to post. So fire away. But like I said, take notice. Any other thread started that contains politics will be deleted. And this thread will be locked and closed on 12/31/2014. And to be honest, I have no idea if I'll start another one in 2015. We'll see how bad this one goes.

Here are the rules:

No personal attacks or attacks on businesses or other websites. That's pretty much it.

Good luck.

Edit: and the thread continues in to 2015 :D

Here's my one and only comment..................maybe, the country made a move in the right direction last night, now maybe "EVERYONE" (everyone means everyone) will pay attention to what the American people have said and do something about it and get the economy back on track, mend our fractured country and bring everyone together, god bless America.

Now you go and do it, I'm almost out of gas from my veiled attempts to post political comments the last couple of days. 😝

Let's just say I'm as "happy as a frog on a lilly pad" over yesterday's Red success in the Senate, House, Gubernatorial, and all the local seats captured by the GOP! 😊

You're welcome. And no, there isn't really a reason why this thread was started TODAY LOL.

But I personally will refrain from making any political comments. Imagine the lynch mob that would attack if I can't even make a post about FB LOL

I remember when I was in highschool, and that turd Jimmy Carter was in office. Though I was young and didn't feel the pressures of the grown-up world, you could feel the despair, the hopelessness about the state of the country. Then, Ronald Reagan came along and lit a fire under the country's ass.

Today, I feel that way again :)

I think it's just a veiled attempt at driving site traffic :D

In any case I agree with you Joey (Jim), unfortunately Boehner, McConnell and Team remind me of Colin Kaepernick with the ball on the one yard line with an easy touchdown/victory in sight........hope they don't fuck it up too :rolleyes

Veiled? Not really, pretty obvious as everyone here knows how I feel about politics on a boating site.

And, attempt implies hope. LOL :D

Am I guessing everyone else that has refrained from a comment is unhappy with happened or am I just being paranoid.

I 100% agree, I loved Ronnie !!!!!!!!!

I had an interesting conversation with some co workers at lunch and they asked me why I haven't been so vocal about politics like in the past. Long story short is that when I was in my mid 20's, I was very involved with OC Young Republicans and I would go to speeches, rally's and all sort of political events to support the GOP in Orange County.

Now..........Not so much. Maybe I am too busy being a dad to 3 awesome kids (and another on the way) or I am too busy at work.......or maybe......I just don't care anymore. It is most likely a variation of all three!!

The problem with politics today is that you can't trust the people you support. You can work your ass off and sweat blood for a candidate because you believe that person will do what they claim and fight for the issues you care about, but the bottom line is............THEY WON'T!!!

My favorite acronym is R.I.N.O. (Republican In Name Only). It seems like so many "republicans" today are RINO's. They run on a conservative platform yet vote like a democrat. PISSES ME OFF!!!! That is why I don't vote for them anymore and really don't care to vote at all (even though I still do at a local level).

Politics today suck.......democracy ended the day these politicians sold out to the highest bidder. With today's super PAC's, union influence and the ultra wealthy leading the way, no politician can be trusted to do what is in the best interest of the people they represent.

So for the record, I vote Republican, but I consider myself more of a social liberal and fiscal conservative. I feel that there is no room for politics in my life right now. It is something I NEVER bring up in my business dealings and it is something I don't talk about with friends/family. Too many deals lost and friendships ruined over political disagreements.

I'm happy with what happened. Just wish it was enough to put the commie in prison, or better yet, hanging from rope in Monument Park. But that's asking for little much.
So lets just say I am happy, just not ecstatic.

Little extra time on your hands watch this...

Well hot damn. I promised myself I'd stay out of this, so I'll make a neutral comment lol.

All lifelong or career politicians are the same, for the most part.
They all want to get elected. Then they want to get reelected.
The only change they'll make is to do whatever it takes to accomplish the above.

I can't knock them too much though, I would never do it. You may be able to make a little change once or twice, then someone will kick your ass and you're out.

Poor bastards can't win no matter what. I think I'd rather be a lawyer. I'd much rather get paid to argue vs get paid to lie :D
