A better analogy is this:
You know that covering yourself in pollen will attract bees. Your friend wants to cover herself in pollen because she thinks the bees will respond "peacefully", collecting pollen from her without stinging. You hope she fails in her experiment, because you feel confidently that it will end badly. People confident that Obama's policies will end badly are perfectly logical in hoping those policies fail. The illogical stance is to hope for success blindly, despite evidence that a policy will be largely negative.
no this is called dramatic bias and appeal to emotion. We arent talking about your OPINION of policies.
Your mind is already made up that you dont like the policies (I dont like some of them) so you hope they fail so you root for him to fail, well thats dumb becuase if they fail we all fail.
The QB/Coach is the more accurat analogy because its void of bias and its Objective.
If we new what actually worked we would all just do it, funny no president congress etc etc has figured it out? LOL
The goal is for AMERICA to win, Ill NEVER root against that because it makes no sense. Will i disagree on how we COULD win, of course but to root against him is to root against winning, no thanks, ill never od that to any president.
Basically if I believed in things 1,2, and 3 and the president believed in things 4,5 and 6 I might not like it but what if 4,5,and 6 gets us the win? Then I am HAPPY because WE WON lol
Of I guess I could just hope for the worse, root against us winning and assume that my way is the only way forget the rest of america.
