Republicans must understand that Romney doesn't deserve to win. He isn't good enough.


Not even by their own silly, babyish standards.

Someone in Obama's staff needs to make it clear, somehow, to the Republican base


that Romney's recent requests for "fair play" essentially reveal that he went into this fight knowing he was damaged goods beforehand.

I edited one of my polls and it made it look like the results changed!


Do the votes stick with the option number or the poll question? Hmmmm. Feel guilty now...

The RW will now move as one to portray themselves as all innocent and polite.


Big blinking blue eyes in the headlights.

"Wahhhh? But, we're such LOVELY LOVELY people and you're all so MEAN-SPIRITED."

Guaranteed, IMO.

Could you live under Romney?


Would you stay in the US if Romney was elected?

(I am not from the US...)

Politics everywhere seems to have descended into a farcical instrospective fog.

Image and perception used to play a part, but so did fact.

There doesn't seem to be any interest in reality any more, anywhere, on any side.

It's all a little bit disturbing.

The original ideological spine of Christianity was altruism.

As is the ideological spine of liberalism.

Abandoning a supporting structure for the principles of altruism on the rather trivial grounds that it's key tenets are based in the supernatural, thence to throw ones arms in the air at the hypocrisy of the abandonded ideology's very pragmatic usurpers looks very much like shooting oneself in the foot. It's doesn't matter whether or not God exists, what matters is that people believe that human beings deserve better from one another. If common cause cannot be made towards this goal between its adherent factions otherwise seperated by essentially irrelevant differences in the philosophical underpinnings of their value-systems then one can only assume that their value-systems aren't as important to them as one might be led to believe.
