1. In an honest and fair election Obama will win in a landslide

I'm just not so sure its going to be honest and fair. To much proprietary software involved in our voting system as it stands today so the powers to be can win this one in spite of how we vote.

I love our President

5. If he and the 2008 DC Democratic majority have not been sufficiently concerned, why should we?

Because he is running against obviously nutty Republicans like Gingrich, Rmoney, Santorum, Paul, et al.,
and because he has taken away their thunder with his "centrist" actions to attract "centrist" voters,
his re-election is a sure thing.

You say that you "love our President." How much did you donate for his 2008 election?
How much did you donate for his 2012 re-election?

9. Obviously, people who strongly support Obama will make financial contributions. I did in 2008.

Financial contributions are a way of measuring the depth of a committment toward a politician.

You're right in that you don't have to tell me how much you financially contributed. You don't even have to make up a number. I'll agree with you that I no longer consider it any of my business.

VOTE. We are all aware of the 2010 disaster which we are paying dearly for and we can't let that happen again.

Complacency is very dangerous.
