98. This is not a political vote. It is a vote between reality and a bizarro universe from the right.
Let's face it, this is no longer about liberal and conservative, as much as liberals might want it to be. The right has been captured by pure lunatics and there is only one choice if you don't want lunatics: Barack Obama. He is barely a liberal, if not a down the center corporate president, but he IS still sane.

So the unpleasant choice is coming down to a vote for sanity (regardless of politics) in Obama and a vote for a bizarro alternate reality represented by Republicans: where dinosaurs were ridden by people, global warming is a myth, where government budgets (Ryan's) count on eventually reaching 3% of government spending relative to the GDP. In short, people who have literally long ago left the planet we all must continue to reside on (oh, and just to remind you, part of that alternative reality for these people is something called the rapture-where they actually think they will leave the planet).

Let's face it, Obama's got us by the balls. I am praying (metaphorically) that if he does get reelected and doesn't have to worry about getting reelected he will actually start doing some of the things I had hoped he would have already done.
