4. Fuck the "independent voter".

Romney and the Republicans say and do stuff like this - clueless, hateful, uninformed, misguided, thoughtless, hyper-partisan nonsense - and so-called independent voters are *still* not running to Obama in any significant numbers. I am stunned by this fact.

I know Obama is ahead by more than the margin of error at this point (which is a good thing). But, with these constant reminders of what conservatives in this country are really about, Obama should be polling in the mid to high 50's. This should be pointing to a landslide by now. Conservatives have no credibility and are unfit to lead the whole country. They are fit only to lead their bottom-feeding tea-party-Archie-Bunker 30% or so.

This scares me about the future of the country - that such backward people with such regressive views are still in the game and are running essentially neck and neck with the rest of us who can think.

Obama and the Dems have hardly had a misstep in months; we've been running a clean, intelligent game. The Republicans step on their dicks about three times a week with some horrendous new revelations and Neanderthal policies (i.e. "legitimate rape&quot and yet these pious "independent voters" are *still* sitting on the fence waiting for ... what the fuck are they waiting for?

Not that it matters, but I really like how the open quotes are hanging above the text blocks! ncgrits Sep 2012 #1
