Report: Obama's campaign more wired than Romney's

[calimary]

45. Hey viguy007, Welcome to DU, and thank you for a MOST excellent post!

Your arguments have tremendous merit.

And the saddest thing for you - and for ALL of us Americans on EITHER side of the political aisle - is that the Republican Party you knew all your life is NOT the one we have today. I don't know WHAT this horrorshow of a "political party" is that's festering like skin sores all over our country. My father would not have recognized this republi-CON party, and he was proud to vote GOP (even though he called himself an independent). We ALL are owed a functioning political system at the highest levels of government because we ALL are owed a functioning government rather than a government being eaten from within itself as though it were overrun by either cancer or termites - by a rabble that believes knee-jerkedly that government = bad. I wish we could ship them all to Somalia and keep the moderates here so we could STILL get something done in Washington like the adults our reps are supposed to be. Adults. Instead of ideological-nutcase adult-sized spoiled-brat infants.

I know you've believed in your party for all the right reasons (and I usually don't use the word "right" anymore, since the jackal-esque "latter-day saints" of the GOP have completely perverted the very meaning of the word), and for many years. I'm sorry it's finally left you. I know how bad I feel when I sometimes ponder whether MY party has left me, which I find myself doing far more frequently than I like. I sympathize. I imagine you think of the kind of Republicans from the days where "R" also stood for "respectable."

But Welcome! You are welcome here. It can get pretty wild at times, but it's because we all feel so strongly about what's going on in this country, and how badly the zealots are trying to lead us down into Hell. Glad you're here.

Now get to work.
