This is the bone marrow of the country's stupid people being told what to think by their self-appointed authorities. I like to think that all these hundreds of millions poured into political ads--which seem to be universally reviled--have no effect whatsoever; and yet here we are with a very nearly tied race. The idea that Obama has anywhere near the power to do what the hysteria credits; the idea that he's responsible for the country's ills, or that their anointed candidate could or would do anything different or better--is ludicrous. To claim that Mittens RMoney will fix what's wrong is pure, unadulterated fantasy: even if his office had the power, he has given no coherent program--on anything--and has shifted fundamental positions again and again. What little information we do have, like Ryan's budget, cannot possibly be reconciled to RMoney's claims. This is America at its very worst.wstachourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447198404608861357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10882105.post-19285487951862381292012-11-04T02:02:06.791-08:002012-11-04T02:02:06.791-08:00We'll all definitely be living in 'interes...We'll all definitely be living in 'interesting times' if Romney wins. I actually find it quite incredible that he even has a *chance* of winning.

But that high-minded analysis does not extend the other way. They will gladly criticize Obama for not being Christian enough or even worse ... Muslim. Hell, before Romney was given the nomination, they even criticized Romney for his cult religion. Politics truly does make strange bedfellows. It's obvious that ultimately one's beliefs don't mean as much as political expediency. <br /><br />If one of these guys actually owned up to their craziness and were consistent about their beliefs, I'd actually have to give them some credit.dbackdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10700991588554336491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10882105.post-1449743916080678292012-11-03T22:12:26.801-07:002012-11-03T22:12:26.801-07:00Absolutely correct.

This is our best opportunity in a couple centuries to point out how ludicrous the whole business of living-by-a-literal-belief-in-Bronze-Age-mythology is. Anyone who does not see the wild-ass crazy in RMoney can only be trying to do an ostrich toward their own crazy.<br /><br />And that's the whole problem.wstachourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447198404608861357noreply@blogger.com
