87. I so agree with you. I watch that movie or parts of it when it comes on TV

Wed Oct 10, 2012, 03:22 PM

Oct 2012

and it is scary because that is where we are heading. My sister listens to NPR, reads Time and Newsweek and other magazines but is not a political junkie like me.I gave her this movie to watch and she said it was so scary on so many levels as she could see the US going in that direction. But she is firm in her belief that President Obama will win re-election. She talked me down several times when it showed McCain up and said, " no Obama will win". I'm hoping she's right again. But I can't believe how stupid people are to watch the debate last week and say Rmoney would be a better president. Stupid people not paying attention but drinking the sound bite kool aide. I'm afraid they will get stupid like they did with reagan and say rmoney is just like him and vote him in. God help our country, god help the people on this site because they will go after us to cement their power.
