The American People Need To Vote For Their Best Interests and Stop Being Morons [View all]

After 8 years of Bush II...after the Florida recall debacle of 2000, 9/11, the outright lies leading to the invasion of Iraq, the secret torture, the WMD lies, the poor economic performance, Katrina, the housing bubble, the financial collapse, the recession..after all of that and more, to think that the Republicans can still muster significant political support angers me greatly.

I am losing all patience with the American people and American politics in general. At some point, the American people have to protect themselves and vote their best interests regardless of who is running for office.

A vote for Romney/Ryan is a vote to end Medicare as we know it. If Romney/Ryan are elected, then many Americans will lose health care coverage when they reach a certain age. Many more Americans will lose Medicaid coverage.

A vote for Romney/Ryan is a vote to cut taxes on the super-wealthy while either raising taxes on the middle class to pay for it or exploding the deficit.

A vote for Romney/Ryan means a new war in Iran/Syria and an endless continuation of the war in Afghanistan.

A vote for Romney/Ryan means a threat to women's reproductive choices.

A vote for Romney/Ryan means no economic safety net for you if you lose your job and cannot get another one.

If one debate performance makes you vote against your own best interest, then you are a f**cking moron, and you deserve the hell coming your way AGAIN.
