Sadly the Red 52% are probably the most vocal... and stupid.
Stupid is the most dangerous thing in the world.

And here's some dessert:



Between your refusal to show your income tax returns and the obvious failure of your "I'm not the black guy" strategy, this campaign has reached the unofficial beginning of the end, my friend.

vote for a guy to be the POTUS when they have tax havens in the Cayman Islands? Okay.... maybe they don't want Obama in the WH, but then you still need to take a look at the guy you would like to replace Obama with. And people see the Cayman Islands tax haven and have problems with Romney's patriotism to his own country who he is supposedly running to restore. He's running to lower taxes for the wealthy and has no care in the country or you.

Here's a good quote to think of when thinking of the tax haven Romney has in the Cayman Islands.

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country."

John F. Kennedy
Inaugural Address
Friday, January 20, 1961
