Are We That Stupid - Romney Should Be 20 Points Down And It Should Be Over Except --

[TheMastersNemesis]

for counting the GOP political bodies. They have NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO OFFER THE US except misery and poverty as well as hatred, racism and division.

2. in the days of the fairness doctrine.

when news was still news... before the radio bandwidth was owned by the right wing.. we would be ahead by double digits, and never look back

3. It is over, and he is 10 points down.

That's an extraordinary lead at this point in a Presidential campaign. Don't worry, be happy . . . oops.

4. If I didn't accept the fact of the KKK faction of the GOP is alive and well I'd be stupid

I might not understand them. But they are still rooted in wanting to have separate water fountains and back seats on the bus for minorities. I grew up in the South in the '80s. There was no recognition that African Americans had attained equal status.

There was just begrudged compliance with the law.

Ignorance is hard to fix. So as a gay man who had been outed I fled the South. In my travels I have found many friends and people I will happily call family.

5. Well, in my little red state, I was phone banking and

over 60% of my calls were to Rs. They didn't want to know a thing except, if he's a Democrat, they won't vote for him. Their candidate has vowed to kill medicaid. Mind you these calls were in the middle of the afternoon and the people answering were retirees! The stupid hurts!

6. Modern politics and the media are incapable of reporting the truth

means you could enter a dog-turd in the race and the dog-turd could come close to if not even winning! (see bush* vs Gore, election 2000). If the voters don't work real hard under these conditions to stay informed you have a roll of the dice.
