My county carried the torch for smaller government and a conservative approach to the budget. Turns out our vote still didn't mean bupkiss. Oh well, 4 more years of gridlock. The fine folks in Ohio just cast their vote for and thus have narrowly re-elected Obama messing up the plans of this conservative working class guy that desperately hoped to see a change in government.
Turns out immigration, gay rights and abortions were the most important topics. Job creation and fixing the economy when shopping for a president were not as important. (77% hispanic, 95% of all blacks, 55% of all women, 70% in ages 18-25) Minority vote is 28% of the electorate.
We might all be Americans but I just got a mandate that I need to be more tolerant as a white minority.
I could repute his every word, but they stand in victory. A win is a win.
For the record, Mitt ran a clean and honorable campaign. Thanks for the effort and thanks for running.
