Has America ever voted for a man with sociopathic tendancies to be their president? Could such a candidate actually win?

Romney’s ideal America is one where the wealthy buy their own White House and Congress, tax revenues are rerouted from the poor, elderly and majority into the pockets of the wealthy and all regulations that prevent the wealthy from harming the public are removed.

corporate wedding

Romney says corporations should be able to marry, gun manufacturing corporations should be allowed to have shotgun weddings, the energy industry deserves to have a nuclear family if they so choose and competing corporations should have the moral right to get into bed with each other.

voting

It’s time to push back against the right wing forces trying to take away the rights of Americans to vote and turn it around, empowering more and more Americans to make their voices heard in the voting booth.

Despite GOP protests to the contrary, when it comes to Spiking the Ball, W is the All Star!

There are complications that go along with having an eight year old boy as your campaign adviser including setting up playdates for him with Rick Perry and Herman Cain and having to discipline the adult staff to “act their age” so they’re on a par with him.

It doesn’t matter whether Bin Laden is killed, the economy is recovering or diet donuts have been invented that reduce your cholesterol and make you lose weight, the GOP is bent (in many ways) on spinning every bit of good news into something terrible.

Mitt Romney tells his audiences that there are two things that recommend him for the Presidency: his career as a businessman and as a governor. The fact is that neither experience recommends him.

  Mitt Romney is the candidate you almost have to feel sorry for, but not quite, he is not a people person, his accomplishments are hugely inflated and he does not seem to know how to tell the truth.  I wonder, if you asked Romney if he anticipated another Bush-like [...]

It’s understandable that no candidate would choose to openly campaign on cannibalism, except perhaps Ron Paul, so this terrifying agenda has been well hidden by Romney’s campaign until Ted Nugent’s accidental slip about it at the NRA convention.

America has become one big cynical carnival of games but at least the GOP has even been considerate enough to throw in a number of clowns at no extra cost.

The Main Stream Media needs a tight race for the presidency to drive its reader and viewership. So coverage of the President’s tax return has been muted because the President puts his money where his mouth is.

One thing people don’t mention about Romney is that he does not need to lie as much as he does.  Romney could have run a more honest and even moderate campaign and still won the GOP nomination because of the massively underwhelming field he was running against and he had [...]

Romney has often demonstrated that he has more in common with firewood than fired workers, all that remains to confirm suspicions is for a woodpecker to perch on his block shaped head and begin pecking away.

ALEC dresses up their agenda to lull the public while in the background they work to ensure legislation is geared toward the benefit of Corporations alone and while we may realize some crumbs they deign to throw at us, make no mistake they are in it to win it for themselves and their corporate masters alone.

Referencing the suffrage movement in the 1920′s and civil rights supporters in the 1960′s, top Republican leaders are nearing a vote in the House of Representatives to pass a law that would give corporations the right of other citizens, to vote in elections.

In his slippery slope argument against the ACA, Justice Alito simply asks us to consider all the people who’ve been bankrupted and have lost their homes having to pay for their own sudden burial and the ongoing costs of remaining dead.

If the Court finds the mandate unconstitutional, will they find it severable from the rest of the law? If not, that would strike the whole ACA down. If so, can the ACA survive?

We are now told that Mitt Romney is an Etch-a-Sketch. Wonder what other toys and games he and the rest of the GOP Candidates are?

That bastion of consistency and unswerving principle, Arianna (“I’m a Right Wing Republican-I’m a Progressive Democrat-I’m Neither!”) Huffington, proclaims that since the GOP has been falling down in it’s role of attacking Obama’s character and campaign, she and HP are taking up that noble cause.

A powerful thing happened at the GOP’s Missouri Caucus and it had little to do with the caucus. I met a Democratic Psychiatrist who drafted an extraordinary statement about Obama and how his remarkable qualities seem to have kept Americans afloat emotionally through the worst times in recent memory.

It is illegal to ask party affiliation in Washington, so as long as you are willing to sign a sheet that states that you consider yourself a Republican and that you won’t vote in another caucus, all voters are welcome. With Obama safely installed as the incumbent, I figured I may not get another opportunity like this for another 8 years.

Elections in the US should not be an existential conflict but when candidates are willing to do literally anything to win, the fate of the nation can indeed be at stake.

It’s easy to lose perspective on events when in the midst of them but it seems that more profound decisions and actions have taken place under President Obama, despite a viciously polarized Republican opposition, than under any other President in recent memory.
