You know... it seems very funny that none of the people I "WORK" with and anyone I know that "WORKS" have not participated in any of the surveys I???ve seen posted. The only explanation I have for it is that if you???re ???WORKING???, you don???t have time to do surveys. It is my hope that those of us that work and those that become unemployed due to the new administration will wake up and decide enough is enough and register to vote.
Also, I do not understand why there is not a televised news media that is unbiased. It should be ???Just the facts Ma???am??? with equal time on pros and cons instead of the lopsided stuff we get from them. If only half of the voters did some data mining with the tools that are now readily available, the outcome most likely would have been very different??? possibly not even had the same candidates. It seems as a whole, our country is relying on someone to tell us what to do vise reading the directions and doing things right. Never take a salesman???s word on a product. Instead, get a customer rating and look at all the negative things first. If there is a common theme, there is probably a good reason for it.
I do not agree with any party 100%. But for the sake of making the best decision for me, my community, and my country, I data mine.

Now that we have elected a black President, we clearly have surpassed racial boundaries. Therefore, it's time to abolish our affirmative action garbage that has been making employment seeking about as even as night and day. No more double standards or favors for anyone. Qualifications should determine employability, not a quota.

"Nobody cares about the facts. This election was about touchy/feely ideals and telling people what they wanted to hear."

The election was all about telling the sheeple what they wanted to hear. The rest of of care about the facts that this election will likely end America if we allow it.
