Romney would raise eligibility age for Medicare

[woo me with science]

62. Utter fantasy re: Obama. Wishful spinning with no basis in reality whatsoever.

There is no evidence for this blind faith in Obama's intentions. None. All of the evidence shows that he works for the one percent and that he uses the Republicans' extremism to help further the agenda they share. They are working together. Open your eyes and look at the past three years.

They are doing all of this together. They did it together with the Super Committee, the Bush tax cuts, the corporate health insurance law, the banking legislation, and the payroll tax cuts. Since Obama came to office three years ago, we have moved as rapidly toward corporate fascism as we did under Bush. Why do you think the ACLU is screaming bloody murder about the record of this administration? Why?

And it is OBAMA who fought all the way to the Supreme Court for the right to surveil Americans with GPS without warrants.

It is OBAMA who claimed the right to declare American citizens terrorists and assassinate them without trial.

It is OBAMA who claimed the right to imprison human beings indefinitely without trial.

It is OBAMA whose complaint about NDAA was that it didn't give him enough power.

It is OBAMA who signed the bill that will bring the combat drones in Iraq and Afghanistan home to American airspace and make them available to our own police departments.

It is OBAMA who has stood silently while peaceful protesters are brutalized in our own country, and it is under OBAMA that protesters and those who seek anonymity on the internet by using proxies have been labeled potential terrorists.

It is OBAMA who signed ACTA in secrecy, claiming national security to keep it out of the media, and it is OBAMA who is pursuing an internet ID plan.

It is OBAMA who has been pushing these horrifying, insulting gift settlements to the banks and pushing austerity for the rest of us. OBAMA put Medicare age increases and 650 billion in cuts in Social Security and Medicare on the table, and OBAMA colluded with Republicans on these payroll tax cuts that move Social Security toward its eventual demise.

Americans need to wake the hell up and get their heads out of their collective nether regions to face the truth. The one percent are working together in both parties. This is not a red versus blue game anymore. We had better damned well start paying attention to reality instead of mean red and nice blue clouds in our heads, because the one percent are deadly serious, and they are coming after us now.

There is no evidence for the fantasy you are spinning here about Obama's intentions. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. He is not "squirming." He has done all of the above and more quite ruthlessly and efficiently. He is far from an ineffectual President, but rather has been a very effective tool for the one percent. Yes, the red candidate will do it faster and with more blood than the blue one. That is by design, so we keep voting for the option that hurts less. They play us like tools, stupid little musical instruments. Obama has said himself that "this is not a bloodless process."

Vote for the Democrat, but don't write a vapid "No" in response to what the poster above you wrote, because that poster is looking at a reality you refuse to face. All of our little blue votes may keep the train barreling toward corporate fascism slightly more slowly than a little red vote would, but make no mistake about it, we are still barreling toward corporate fascism.

We had better wake the hell up and stop deluding ourselves that blue votes do a damned thing to actually REVERSE the path we are on. We need to find some other way to stop this train, because voting is not enough anymore. We are facing an election with not one, but two candidates who will continue to strip away our liberties and impoverish us, and we had better damned well wake up and realize that voting is not enough. Change is not coming from inside this diseased, purchased system. We must occupy.
