Election 2012: President Obama might think sagging polls are his biggest post-debate problem. But it's really people like Buzz Bissinger, Stacey Dash and Bill Maher showing it's now acceptable in polite society to attack The One.
In an eye-opening piece Monday on the Daily Beast, "Friday Night Lights" author and lifelong Democrat Buzz Bissinger announced he was voting for Romney.
The tipping point, he wrote, "was last week's debate in Denver," which showed Obama out of energy and out of ideas.

Can anyone remember the last time Bill Maher was polite?
Another “good morning” read
I think most people are in “captain obvious” mode on voting Romney hence the lack of yard sign and bumper stickers. I usually have a yard sign but this year I don’t feel the need .....Now the Obama signs? Don’t know what thats about other than advertising stupid LOL
Media capitulation is a possibility. CBS aired a piece on 60 minutes Sunday that essentially declares the Afghanistan theater to have been mismanaged and therefore lost. Will the media realize they could go down with Obama?
Will they realize the people are on to them, now with proof they were sold a bill-of-goods in Barack Hussein Obama?
Well, there aren’t that many Obama signs as before as well, at least where I live.
Uh, which of his "ideas", when he had them, had a positive effect on the nation?
If he's out of "ideas", shouldn't that be a good thing for both himself and the country?
After all, isn't that what the statists desire?
Being that I live in rural Alaska its a very slim chance of running across any deranged Obamazombie, but if I were in some other place I could take terverse pleasure baiting these zealotheads with an empty chair, a Vote for Romney PLUS a full size cutout pic of Sarah Palin.
And I may be hiding nearby waiting to open up a valve upon a high pressure hose with dye in the water. or something else.
been seeing lots of Rommney/Ryan signs lately in SW Texas
“Levee breaks” refers to Kareina and is, therefore, a racist metaphor if applied to Obama.
Just predicting you’ll get that idiotic email 100 times today.
I like how you think :-)
A friend of mine declared the 2008 election as the "Year of the 'Hey I'm Cool, I voted for a Black Guy' Voter".
BTW he did this in 2008.
I think maybe we are seeing his declaration validated on 2012.
He’s only had ONE idea.....DESTROY AMERICA!!
They detect that Obama is weak. If he goes down further in the polls, to the point where it’s obvious that he’s going to lose, they will rip him apart.
Sorry about the typos, was trying to eat my canadian bacon/egg and cheese on an english muffin breakfast.
In the words of the classic Led Zeppelin song -
“If it keeps on raining, the levee’s gonna break”....
Some O supporters became smarter & some are in shame mode..
Last time Maher said something remotely funny?
Pray for America
We found ONE. Also found one Gary Johnson....Half dozen or more: “Keep America Free — Fire Obama!”

Yep, I’ve only seen 3 Obama signs in our small town in North-central Illinois (pop. 9,500). People who I know are democrats, and would proudly display their signs at presidential elections, are curiously absent of them this year. They’ve discovered just how much “cool” costs...
I like that last one...
Being “cool” made you a “fool”...I think these types will either stay home or vote stupid again.
Everyone really needs to understand what “cool” actually means.
It means being in just the “proper” state of rebellion to norms, traditions, parents, and God.
“Proper” is in accordance with the world’s standards, and of course, gets further and further from the Ultimate Standard with each generation of “cool”.
So, if your kids talk about a “cool kid”, or “wanting to be cool”, make sure to explain it to them.
Saying “that’s cool” is saying “I approve of that”. Make sure they understand by what standard they are expressing their approval.
DOn’t know who is distributing it, but it seems to be in the same yards as the “Fire Lugar” yards. Lots of Mike Pence and Romney/Ryan signs.....OTOH it was the college towns that threw IN to BO last election. Out of state students voted en masse
The advice I like that is similar goes like this:
“You voted for Obama in ‘08 to prove you weren’t a racist.
Now vote for Romney in ‘12 to prove you aren’t an idiot.”
Such a shame our country has been destroyed by young punks throwing a tantrum :(
So true.
For many of those voters, hearing criticism from the pop culture like Maher, will be enough to give them “permission” to vote for Romney or not to vote at all.
” which showed Obama out of energy and out of ideas.....He NEVER has had ‘Ideas”, only ‘Ideology’.
He never had any ideas, except good old fashioned communism.
Well, the Catholic Church does preach late vocations .... St. Augustine the reformed Roman playboy being their poster-boy, who made the trip from lupanaria to the Civitas Dei.
Most are foregoing the Romney yard sign due to Obama’s 2008 admonition to his supporters to “get in their faces”. They do not want to waste time arguing with idiots on their front porch. Nor do they want their cars and property to suffer the sort of vandalism that my former Teamster neighbor used to brag about across many a bar.
No. These news orgs are welded to this guy now. The B-school types may try a counterrevolution, but they'll have to take out their entire news organizations and top-management superstructures to make it stick.
The political newsies live for partisanship -- it's why they went into journalism in the first place -- and we will find them next month fighting in the last ditch.
That IS some good mornin news!
There is one 0 bummer sign in my neighborhood and I've seen two 0 bumper stickers. In 2008, they were everywhere. Lots of R/R signs and bumper stickers.
Not seeing much “in yo face, mofo” like in 08 and damn sure in 09. Da Bros n Sistas be too busy jivin on da obamaphones to give a hoot about voting. When people (holder’s people) have low aspirations it doesn’t take much to feel satisfied.
These punks need a spanky. Time for Republican SoS's and DA's to go looking for students who voted absentee at home and in person in their campus's county.
We have in Texas a situation where smallish Waller County has a white population that is dominated at the polls and and governed adverse to their interest by bloc-voting black students, whipped up by racist faculty, at "traditionally black" Prairie View A&M University. And yes, the "community organizer" types on factulty are telling the students to vote twice.
“If it keeps on raining, the levee’s gonna break”....
That was a cover by LZ. They didn't write that song, they reinterpreted it. It was originally written over 40 years prior to their recording.
Thank you - I didn’t feel like going into that much detail.
:^)
You have a great screen name.
Think simple flyers distributed around campus that explains voting twice is considered voter fraud, and listing the consequence of being convicted, would go a long way to deter most of this activity. If they are college material they certainly don’t want to have a record.
You're too kind.
I had to make a 45 mile drive through a pretty rural area yesterday. I saw probably 50-75 Romney signs, and NOT ONE Obama sign.
Just made a quick trip to town. 7 R/R bumper stickers...0 for 0.
Just think:
Maher is paying about 1/2 million in taxes on the money he gave Obama.
He could have shut his mouth, voted for Romney & kept his money in his pocket, and spent it on his own personal ‘spending stimulus’ at his local shops.
If Don Rumsfeld were a freeper I would expect him to use your screen name. Is that you, Don?
