Bronco Bama has been a rather disappointing president, but TPP
must consider the alternative. Would the
use of drones or the status of unofficial wars (only congress can declare war)
improve by switching presidents.
No. Would that Obama had done
more about the environment and global warming, but will this get better if we switch presidents? You must be kidding! The GnOPe is the party that has forsaken
science and reason for an alternate ideological reality of their own
construct. The economy has been slow to
improve, and would tried and failed GnOPe strategies make things better? Not for 99% of us. And while mulling this entire thing over,
there was a new Mittens ad where he advocated himself as a supporter of
bipartisanship, and that was it. It
reminded TPP that the GnOPe was obsessed with obstructing Bronco Bama at every turn,
opposing every action, finding fault with every single thing the man did,
indeed, demonizing the very man at every step with a venom that usually is
associated with out and out hatred, a President who made the mistakes of trying
to find compromise and consensus, of conceding way too much to people who were
bound and determined to stop his every action, and now Mittens claims the fault
was Obama’s! After opposing Bronco Bama at every turn, then claim BB wasn’t able to
accomplish very much, while knowing full well why, and then saying, so vote for us. Do people actually fall for this? Well, that was just too much for TPP, the last straw
in a not very nice campaign all the way around.
According to PolitiFact, 41% of Mittens’ rated statements were mostly
false, false, or pants on fire (9%). Now
of course all politicians mess with the facts, so to be fair, Bronco had 28% of
his rated statements ranked mostly false, false, or pants on fire (2%). It’s a
pretty big difference especially in the out and out falsehood category. You get some idea of the GnOPe mentality when NJ
Gov. Crusty was chastised by his own party when he and Bronco were actually just
doing their jobs following Sandy’s arrival rather than playing politics. This epitomizes the neocon attitude that it’s
all politics, all the time, no matter what, and that, my friends, means the GnOPe
really doesn’t care about you or me, or what’s really good for the country, or
the world. And to some extent that goes for the Hemicrats too. So while not really happy, my
mind is made up. Green Party! Yea!

Living in a non-swing state must be nice.
Yes, it must be nice living in a non-swing state where you can afford to give your vote to who your TRULY support. I would vote Jill Stein (G) as well but living here in Ohio I would be doing a disservice if I didn't do what I could to prevent a Romney presidency by voting for President Obama
Totally, totally agree, and to be perfectly honest TPP may still vote for Bronco even if the outcome here in Lincolnland is not too much in doubt.
You have to understand that Mitt is not a scientist or even a regular human being. As a CEO he uses language to be effective, to get people to do what he wants even against their interest. For him, the truth or falsity of what he says is not just secondary, it's irrelevant.
