No matter how stupid, inept, babbling or ignorant Romney is or shows it. No matter how many gaffes, Alzheimer's moments he has he will still get a lot of support. We are a nation so BLINDED by extreme hateful racism that people will vote for him. Even though he is stupider than Bush the press will help him. The GOP has so much money we will see even 100,000 or more racist bigoted hateful totally untrue and distorted commercials 24/7 and then some.
I see a nation so demented I am concerned. I feel like we are going out of our minds nationally. And even though Romney indicates that he will start a disastrous war with Iran I am sure many people will support it because of the terror of mushroom clouds in the US.
Right now the GOP is even more aggressively sending its minions to "Breitbart" every candidate they can get next to. They are much more aggressive than usual. Snarky and phoney. I had to confront one little brown shirt ignorant broke young male bastard yesterday who invaded our town hall on Senior Resources. How godamned controversial is that when an organization is there to tell seniors how to get services they vitally need to live in dignity.
Yet this little bastard was insistent on interviewing one of our school board members who complied. I had to get in front of him and stop him from talking to our state senator who will have probably $1 million dollars thrown against her. They are already putting out false and untrue information on the internet.
And I found out that the GOP has multiple cameras as EVERY school board meeting. Not just one but many. And NONE of them are press. They are following people around as far as we can tell.
This information is being used to help GOP candidates everywhere and to get people to support that turd Romney as well. The Democrats need to understand the GOP is going to get even violent and intimidating in indirect and even direct ways.
The sad part is that the two little bastards who were at our town hall are broke and poor. One of them was driving a piece junk as far as I could tell. The assholes who sent them would not even let these two young men into the back door of their country club to clean their F-ing toilets. Yet these little neonazis are like the little Nazi youth in Sound Of Music.

They will use everything at their disposal without hesitation. And I think it is common knowledge that the CIA has a tendency to hire Mormons, for their obedience to authority and foreign language skills.

(100,100 posts)The Republicans are the party of the Klan and hardcore racists now - that's the element of the election that scares me more than anything.

(100,100 posts)As I have with Obama - it seems every day you read about some fucking dipshit on TV or in print or online making some thinly veiled threat against Obama, then the next day they just casually write it off as a joke. I really worry what's going to happen after the election.

But now in the 21st century, I am shocked that there is still racism. I was elated to see an African-American elected president and I am also shocked at the racism toward him.
