And not ONE of them is voting for Obama. They are all voting Romney.

This has nothing to do with being a Democrat or a Republican. This has to do with firing a guy who failed at his job. And hiring a new guy who has had success in every way imaginable.

That feeling of confidence is a big deal to people who own their own business. Including me.
That's why I voted for Obama in 2008. I got all excited and believed all the stuff he said on the campaign trail.

Then I watched in stunned disbelief as the Dems spent the first two years shoving heath care through without working with the republicans at all. Meanwhile the economy sank.

As far as the Bush years go: Most of the Bush years were really, really good ones for the economy.
Bush spent like a drunken sailor and ran up a big debt which was horrible. No disagreement there.

But everybody needs to remember WHAT really caused the economy to crash.
It wasn't "Bush" or his 8 years.

It was the housing market and the bad practices of Fanny & Freddy which were policies put in place by Democrats and Republican congressmen TOGETHER.

That was when the economy collapsed. I know it very well because I closed on my home at the end of Sept. of 2008 for $720,000.00 Two weeks later my home had dropped 1/3 of it's value!!!
