I don't know about you, but I have a very personal stake in this election... [View all]

You see I have a preexisting condition that is going to ultimately end with a lung transplant.

Now if Governor Romney were to win, he would let the preexisting out for insurance companies to expire, evaporate, go the way of the dinosaur, which ever way you want to say GONE would be all right. That's right, this situation would turn back the touchy feely way of living that hard nosed conservatives don't believe is the American way. These captains of capitalism are double downers on the laws of the jungle.

Now they also want to get rid of my other out, medicare.

So for me, at least, it is personal.

Now I'm no Johnny come lately to the Democratic Party, I've been there since I played HHH in the sixth grade election. Out of all the people I have voted for over the years, there must be thousand, there was only two times I voted for the GOP candidate. Once for a family friend and once because the democrat who was running was a sniveling weasel of a man who made the worst republican look like Gandhi.

So I am Blue through and through.

I am asking people that I know who might be thinking about voting republican think about what would happen to people like me, people who life has dealt a bad hand, people who through no fault of their own, can't fight back. Not all of us can be masters of the universe and let only the fittest survive, most of us just want to get along with a little help now and then from our government.

I ask you this, what's so wrong about that....
