I remember Presidents waaaay back to Eisenhower (very, very young kid thinking "I Like Ike" was hilarious for some reason) and I have never been this nervous. There is just something extremely sinister about Romney and it was exacerbated by the fact that he surrounded himself with Bush era war criminals and Robert Bork, for God's sake. How could that add up to anything other than a gigantic clusterf&*k? And the ruthlessness in which Romney made decisions made me realize he had absolutely no compassion for anyone. And, it may seem silly, but the way he treated his poor dog, Seamus, was in itself a deal breaker for me. The hatred his "supporters" are spewing is scary too. That hatred would've been institutionalized and used to make decisions over women, minorities, gays, and anyone who was not exactly like them. The Republicans refused to pass the Violence Against Women Act and I'm sure both the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act would have died the same awful death.

This is going to be one heck of a thankful Thanksgiving, I'll tell you! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, cilla, and I think all of us "evil liberals" will be counting our blessings!
