18. I understand the "I think America deserves Romney" and "We get the leaders we deserve" sentiments

I do have a major problem with people who are voting GOP, even if they literally have been brainwashed.

I really do believe that the majority of voters will not be voting for Romney, but likely all of those votes won't be counted. Let's not forget all those who have been disenfranchised from voting.

The 2000 & 2004 elections were stolen and it's obvious that the GOP is pulling out all the stops to do it again. Keeping that in mind, we always have to remember that the majority of citizens here don't deserve that because they didn't vote for it.

When we vote, we need to remember those who had the right to vote but couldn't get ID for reasons from lack of funds, transportation, name change due to marriage, couldn't get off work to vote, had their registrations stolen and destroyed, and still stand to have their electronic votes changed. It's through no fault of their own.

Like you, I've had it with the stupidity of right wingers. I do understand and agree with everything you wrote, except that many of the people who did vote for Obama, or could have but were prevented from having their votes counted, won't get what they deserve if Romney (God forbid) gets elected.
