Fox News’ dark night of the soul - Salon.com

http://www.salon.com/2012/11/07/fox_news_dark_night_of_the_soul/?source=newsletter

Obama won a big, bruising battle, and now has a brief and limited opportunity to assert leadership. But we just spent an entire year and $2 billion to end up with the same president, the same House and the same Senate. That sounds a lot like everybody losing, but at least Mitt Romney and those who financed him and pumped him full of hot air lost most of all.

Obama wins

Yeah Baby, now I "Believe in America". Thank you CA, OR and WA and especially my birthplace of Hamilton County Ohio! Now lets move the Republicans out of the roadblock of the political process that they have been.

The loser: Mendacious Mitt the twit, the Mexican polygamist's grandson, the Klepto-class breed vulture capitalist, who took a founding role at Bain Capital from a mentor who guaranteed he would never fail financially or professionally, hiding behind his veil of opulence, shipping his money and our jobs overseas, the tax dodger refusing to pay his fair share of society's upkeep, the draft-avoiding war monger utilizing the dual refuges of mission work in Paris and business school at Harvard, the slimy politician with policy flip-flops on: gun control, abortion, climate change, taxes, gays, and RomneyCare. The man whose serial lying shows the only principle he values is to put more political power into hands controlled by a superstitious cult religion so he and his magical underwear can fulfill its "white horse prophecy".

To Paul Ryan, the zombie-eyed granny starver that voted for the policies that crashed the economy: Sorry, your statement that Mendacious Mitt the Twit's experience as a leverage buyout vulture capitalist makes him suitable to handle the USA's economic policies makes no sense. Who is he going to sell off our assets to? Loser.

And Ryan couldn't even deliver Wisconsin.

Too bad I live in a State that follows the voting pattern of the racist sicko South.

Is Mormonism a cult? Who cares? It’s their weird and sinister beliefs we should be worried about. - Slate Magazine

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/fighting_words/2011/10/is_mormonism_a_cult_who_cares_it_s_their_weird_and_sinister_beli.html

The Mormons apparently believe that Jesus will return in Missouri rather than Armageddon: I wouldn't care to bet on the likelihood of either. In the meanwhile, though, we are fully entitled to ask Mitt Romney about the forces that influenced his political formation and—since he comes from a dynasty of his church, and spent much of his boyhood and manhood first as a missionary and then as a senior lay official—it is safe to assume that the influence is not small. Unless he is to succeed in his dreary plan to borrow from the playbook of his pain-in-the-ass predecessor Michael Dukakis, and make this an election about "competence not ideology," he should be asked to defend and explain himself, and his voluntary membership in one of the most egregious groups operating on American soil.
