Can we all make a promise come Wednesday afternoon

[SkinsOrlando]

Regardless of how the election goes, can we all please get back to having some fun in the tailgate again. Can we put aside the divisiveness, the spite and vitrol that's been existing around here for the past few months. Yes we'll still be debating policy, yes we'll still be talking politics but can we let our guards back down, let our skin grow thicker again and have some fun. Politics engulfs much of our lives, I understand this, it's become that way since the 24/7 news cycle and internet became a major focul point of what we do on a daily basis. However I do not believe politics defines who I am as a person nor do I feel it defines anyone else around here. Let our craziness, absurdity, humor, sarcasm and wit back in the tailgate. So come Wednesday afternoon, win or lose(and heaven help us draw), crack a joke, crack a smile and hang out for awhile. Let's bring personality back to the tailgate.

That includes changing your sig to something completely nonpolitical, right?

'Cuz that's what I'm planning to do.

[SkinsOrlando]

Already did it mjah after I posted this thread, no need for a political sig now.

[dcoles11]

As much as i'd like that to happen I think we are kidding ourselves.

I can already see a thread with the title.

"I guess we are a socialist nation now"

[mjah]

"I guess we are a socialist nation now"

I doubt it... McCain isn't likely to win.

That's why it's not until Wednesday afternoon

[Big Weirdo]

I'm all about fun. We won't always agree but it's all about living in peace and unity, baby! Whoever wins I'm still gonna be the same Who Del I've always been.

Great thread SO!

[ljs]

what election is going on?? Did I miss something>?

[Burgold]

Nope, but by Friday we should hopefully be good.

[Jumbo]

I'm certainly in, and I appreciated the PM conversation related to this theme, SO. In fact, I may send you another PM when I have more time. I'm still at work and may nit get home in time for the start of the game.

[Special K]

Yeah, I'm totally in on this. This political crap has reached my ludicrous threshold.

[“Misdirection”]

LLandryistheshiz supports this thread.

[SkinsOrlando]

No no, light speed is too slow, we need ludicrous speed.

[brandymac27]

Good thread. And just remember everyone:

[SkinsHokieFan]

Boo.

I am too argumentative. That is how I have "fun"

[TuckahoeSkin]

No thanks. Not sour grapes, but we're talking about serious issues.

Most of you supporting Obama have no idea how bad things are going to be. Income taxes will go up -- hurting the economy. Payroll taxes will go up -- costing jobs. Cap & Trade will cause energy prices to skyrocket -- further restricting discretionary spending. It's not going to be pretty, guys. I suspect in the next four years many of you will claim you didn't vote for him.

When you look back as say 'what happened?" Don't forget that his Marxist tendencies and connections had been pointed out. When you see his administration penalizing anyone who speaks out against him -- beware. It's already happening. And he talks about creating a Civilian Defense Force? Is this his version of Hitler's Brownshirts? You would be right to scoff if it hadn't come from his own words.

I own a small business. I work with many other small businesses who are facing extremely tough times. Many may not survive. Their employees will be looking for jobs when the help wanted section is the thinnest it has been in years. Raising taxes will restrict the economy. He will raise taxes to take from one group to give to another under the guise of fairness. All of this so that Obama can buy votes. So shortsighted. All of this will put many small business under. Where's your bread buttered?

Fire away with your flippant responses. It won't matter. I will go forward trying to grow my business. I promise, though, I will do everything I can to support a strong Conservative Party and will be active in helping to defeat Libs in 2010 and 2012. I suspect by that point, many of you will have seen enough and might feel the same way.

Thank GOD!

Have you heard about all the pork?

The "merits" of Scrapple will finally be sorted out tomorrow.

[Mickalino]

There's absolutely no way that the Tailgate returns to normal on November 5th anytime soon thereafter.

First there will be those disputing the results.

Then there will be all the speculation on what the new President will do.

etc

[Special K]

Ludicrous speed.........NOW!!!

[BRAVEONAWARPATH]

Ludicrous speed.........NOW!!!

:notworthy:notworthy

[SC_RedskinsFan]

Great thread SO, i am sick of all the political threads. I hope that all political threads after the 5th get the mega merge. Here's to the mega merge.

[SkinsOrlando]

Ludicrous speed.........NOW!!!

Well, are we stopped

We're stopped sir

Good, how bout we take a five minute break, smoke if you got em

[Toe Jam]

For real this time.

Enough is enough.

A simple 'no, thank you' would have sufficed.
