On a local, personal level, a "friend" of mine is voting for Romney. She is a Lesbian and very politically involved. She has never gotten over Hillary's loss and she now "hates all politicians." But she is going to freaking pull the lever for Romney -- convinced that her vote won't count because her district swings 90% to Obama, etc.

She means it, too. She voted AGAINST Obama last time. <head explodes>

It is a very difficult friendship for me to maintain. We recently had lunch and she, as always, let me know her feelings. I felt that too often she gets in her little digs against Obama whilst claiming some moral high ground because she HATES THEM ALL (politicians). I'm supposed to say nothing while she tells me her supposedly thoughtful reasons for voting for Romney?????

Well, I took her to task, and apparently others did, too. I fought back harder than I've ever fought back -- with facts and questioning her reasoning. Today, she has sworn off all politics, saying it has become too contentious. She feels she listens to all the jokes, but no one likes when she sends stuff back about Obama. She thinks it's a double standard. It seems I wasn't the only one to fight back this time around. She is refusing all political emails from the left and right now. (I suppose that's progress.) I'm guessing she got an earful - or an inbox full!

I replied to her email anyway, saying, "Yeah, it's definitely too contentious. Only NOW the Dems are fighting back."

Obama &Biden are smart, snarky, irreverent, and downright hilarious. It's a dagger right through the GOP's heart and I love it. I'm tired of our party being disrespected and mocked. Nobody can do that to Obama OR Biden. It's freaking awesome!

It's not like he accused Romney of being a secret Kenyan Socialist who sets up "Death Panels."

The President didn't even pass judgment on whether putting the family dog on top of the car was wrong. He simply alluded to it in a clever, humorous, and -- if you ask me -- completely inoffensive way.

Fuck being "above that." It's time to take the gloves off. We should have done this a long time ago, and I applaud Obama for doing so. I'm sorry, but that whole thing about being "above that," reeks of a Republican talking point.

I know nobody ever went broke betting against the intelligence of the American people, but "You can't put a windmill on the roof of a car"? WTF !!!!

Has he seriously not heard of plug-in hybrids? Yeah, you can't drive them cross-country entirely on electricity generated from wind YET. But we most certainly have the technology available and in the marketplace TODAY that can handle most of your daily transportation needs with electrical power, and there is no reason that juice cannot be supplied by wind turbines.

55. He is pandering to coal state, while alienating Colorado and Iowa who have wind power

Doesn't he know that Obama is for all forms of energy, but favors renewable energy to keep us from foreign oil dependency.
They talk about oil pipeline that will only go to supply world needs not just US needs,and tying up refineries
They can't make money selling sunlight or wind so they are against it. They should be installing wind and solar on the mountain tops they are destroying, and learn they will replace many jobs.

Just look at the candidates that the other side wanted to place in the White House. We had the dog-on-man guy, the man-on-dog guy, Mr. I'm not in control of my own racist newsletters, Mr.9-9-9, the Muslim Brotherhood Conspiracy Theorist, and the "I want kids to be janitors" guy. It's comical that they've even been taken seriously to become president of an entire country! What exactly do any of them have to offer the country that is actually beneficial?

Fuck being Mr. Nice Guy. That guy always loses. Kick this son of a bitch and keep kicking. Stand on his neck until the election is over and hit him again in December just to be sure.
