According to a FB friend

"Well, at least we can all follow Romney's example of public service and begin to engage more in our own communities. A good place to start"

That to me is an incredibly bizarre statement!

I suspect she got some mormon targeted ads or something. The really sad thing is that she has adopted 2 children who are black.
It's very McCainish to support a candidate who put up with a racist constituency, despite having at least 2 major reasons to be offended.

Mr. Obama, why do people hate you?

Incredible exchange with a 10 yr. old.

The ad sucks, but it's worth ignoring 30 seconds to see this.

The Marshall Tucker Band is going to be with romney's campaign

It's hilarious because they had a song called "Mr President" that came down on Reagan in 1982.
I hope they use it now and history catches up. Romney looks foolish for having them there in the first place, seeing supporters cheering to a song that originally bashed St. Reagan would be an inspiring irony.

The MOST offensive Ad against Claire McCaskill!!

Demeans women by suggesting she doesn't know the definition of legitimate. All you ladies need to listen men on this one because they are smarter. I hope a lot of women call BS on this one and vote against him out of pure spite.

I keep hearing from RWers that President Obama is or wants to take away their rights

Is it the right to be a burden on the state if they don't want to buy insurance?
Seriously, does anyone know what they are talking about?

The Case for Obama: Why He Is a Great President. Yes, Great.

Obama’s résumé of accomplishments is broad and deep, running the gamut from economic to social to foreign policy. The general thrust of his reforms, especially in economic policy, has been a combination of politically radical and ideologically moderate. The combination has confused liberals into thinking of Obamaism as a series of sad half-measures, and conservatives to deem it socialism, but the truth is neither. Obama’s agenda has generally hewed to the consensus of mainstream economists and policy experts. What makes the agenda radical is that, historically, vast realms of policy had been shaped by special interests for their own benefit. Plans to rationalize those things, to write laws that make sense, molder on think-tank shelves for years, even generations. They are often boring. But then Obama, in a frenetic burst of activity, made many of them happen all at once.
