What are you hearing around the office?

Posted on 10/17/2012 4:54:30 PM PDT by MNDude

What is everyone hearing around the office regarding the election? I mean, particularly among liberals and independents. We all obviously know what conservatives are saying.

At my office, I've noticed the liberals are very quiet (except when whispering among themselves), and the independents hate Obama.

Wow! I am impressed with this, and it gives us hope that there are people who do pay attention!

The people at my yacht club seem to be trending towards Romney. One guy was for Obama, so I pedaled my yacht at him and the swan head knocked him into the pond.

(shhh..I'm reporting as an embedded conservative behind enemy liberal lines in Cali)

Nothing, not a peep - last cycle there was zer0 crap plastered all over the place in private work areas. I have seen nothing inside the building. A few bumper stickers in the parking lot, but very few.

Stuff like this? This is Texas. We just want the yankee liberals on both sides of the line to just leave us be. We don’t want Obamacare. We don’t want Romneycare. All we want is an actual social conservative.

Do you know how damaging that clip of him vs Teddy Kennedy is for us? This is his health care baby that we are fighting and Romney’s on the side of the enemy. Both of them are. We cannot support either one in good conscience.

90% for Romney in my office and in fact my whole organization. We’re all govt employees and contractors in the defense community and it’s basically monolithic for Romney. We rarely talk politics because there’s no reason to. We’re all on the same page.

Interesting anecdote about the Af. Amer. supervisor. . .

It sounds like she volunteered the info; or so to speak started the political conversation.

I was delivering an order to an Af. Amer. lady, and I don’t talk politics with my customers. She brought it up! She wondered what I thought, I was gentle with her but said I could not support Obama. She felt times were too hard and she could not vote for him again. She said she plans to vote Romney, or not vote.

It is tough, and that’s why I was gentle with the elderly black lady. I understand it meant a great deal to her to see a “black” man in the presidency. But we can’t park our principles or our sanity at the door.

There are many R/R yard signs in my neighborhood, but only one 0/B...a Jewish neurosurgeon. Will they never learn?

There is one liberal in my office (black guy) so he’s hopeless. The rest us are all very conservative so we are all pretty excited to go vote.

I work for an insurance company. The gay guys and unmarried young women are still voting for Obama. Everyone else... not so much. But unlike 2008, there are no Obama bumper stickers in the parking lot - not a single one.

"So there you are", I said. "The soup aisle survey has Romney up 3:1"

You left out the important detail: what response did you get from the 1 non-Romney voter who started off the conversation?

Romney and the RINOs are the next battle in this war. The existing battle is to remove the muslim, caliphate desiring purple lipped prince from a position of power. We still have to elect someone in November...I pick Romney so I don't have to pay a tax or be beheaded by a effin' raghead because I denounce their religion. YMMV.

Pick your battle and bring back the anti-Romney videos after Romney is sworn in. If the Kenyan gets in, the internet and all other lines of comm are shut down for us and the war is lost.

I teach for a conservative Catholic school. Everyone’s either sitting out, or voting for Goode.

That’s the kind of nonsense that will get us 4 more years of Obama and kill our country. Tell them thanks a lot.
