This is a really, deeply ugly ticket

51. Ugly ticket? Yes. Good ticket? Yes for the Democrats.

The fact that these two people made it to the top of the ticket in a General Election does point that there is something rotten in these United States.

However Obama and Biden are decent, sensible, moderate individuals. The Romney/Ryan ticket may be great for the Democrats in the short term, but sadly this ticket just moves America further to the right. This ticket makes Ronald Reagan look like a left wing Republican, and it makes Eisenhower look like an extreme Liberal.

I need America to prove me wrong. I need America to show that it has a conscience, and doesn't vote for a particular person just because they belong to "their party". Ideally I'd like a Mondale-style defeat of Romney - actually I'd like Romney to get less than 13 Electoral College votes. I somehow think it isn't going to happen but with Paul Ryan on board that other bus ... Democrats can turn the heat up on the simple fact: Romney & Ryans' plan removes the Social Safety Net and increases taxes on those who can ill afford it.
