50. Human rights over corporate rights

Sat Jul 7, 2012, 02:29 AM

Jul 2012

That's why I think President Obama should turn his back on Romney and attack Congress, focusing on the worst lunatics like Allan West in Florida. The only hope for America is for the neo-GOP to be CRUSHED. I actually think that Romney's handlers are stupid enough that they would take the bait and send Romney to the defense of the indefensible lunatics. These clowns are such lunatics that they should be black holes that can't be fixed by all of Romney's horses, all of his men, or even all of his money...

Obama should duck the local issues and just focus on supporting a Constitutional Amendment to define human rights above corporate rights. That would fix Citizens United.

For more details, look at the thread titled "What would be the most effective ad against Romney?" that I started a while ago.
