Still think Homeland Security and TSA and all those folks looking to protect us pose a greater risk to us than terrorists ever will.
Agree with you here. Amazing the reasons people use to decide on the candidate of their choice even when the choice is clearly not in their best interest. Women voting for republicans who have mounted the war on women astounds me. Female republicans waging a war on other females confounds the heck out of me.
For the first time in this election year, I am getting antsy about Obama being able to win reelection. And, I am antsy because voters focus on weird shit.
There is, it seems, another economic downturn coming before the election. Has nothing to do with Obama and his policies. It was a forced and subsidized recovery to begin with not a market recovery. To expect it to last would be kind of nutty to me.
I am worried about how voters will deal with Obama and his stances on queers. I am fearful they will focus on doma and his support for gay marriage while conveniently forgetting Romney was the governor of Massachusetts when gay marriage became law here.
I am worried people are still stuck on Obamacare even tho Obamacare is just
Romneycare implemented on a nationwide scale. The only difference was Obama did it to help people have access to insurance and care while Romney made health insurance mandatory in Massachusetts so health care providers didnt have to provide free care.
Scary times. Unpredictable voters. Tick plays video games. I just go to the beach. LOL.

I agree- what goes on in one's voting decisions these days for far too many voters does not resemble democratic processes and the underpinnings of our Constitution at all. It's all about social and moral judgement about issues that are simply one's own personal calls. With all of the problems that exist in the US and disenfranchised populations and poverty, yes poverty- you would think our voting populace would be better informed and willing to make change for the greater good.
These are scary times and I was around for the McCarthy era.
