Sorta like those rightwing propaganda campaigns aimed at keeping minority voters away from the poles that we hear about from time to time, only with (ostensibly) different motivations.
I can only assume, given ample evidence, that many, many more babies will die under Romney/Ryan than under Obama. So I do wish you'd find a better angle than this (imo) half-hearted lament of dead babies, since you apparently haven't thought this one through too thoroughly.
I don't like the whole 'lesser of evil' bullshit any more than the average ri reader, but something just smells fishy here. I mean, why even bother when you know full well that you're preachin' to the choir?
I won't get into my view that the whole thing is scripted/engineered/rigged(I do believe Obama was engineered to win)
But as to why I would make a thread...well it's because you guys are essentially the only small pocket on the interwebz who gets it-gets it. And I enjoy the well thought out and entertaining responses.
I guess it also just comes from this sheer frustration to see over and over all these things fellow liberals would be pulling their hair out and making a ruckus over that continually happens under Obama if Bush had did it, but they remain either silent or play mental gymnastics to try and defend. I predicted it, but it has been strange to watch in action as so called progressives use Bush era rationale("well, there really is a legitimate terror threat and civilian casualties are part of any war", "well, you have to break a few eggs to make a cake", "Well sometimes you have to compromuse")
So yeah, maybe a teeny part of me secretly is curious to see a Romney win just to see all the whiny smug smarmy "liberals" go apeshit. And Im not trying to liken it to the Y2k scare hype, but I wonder if anythign would truly change if Romney wins. I almost think something entirely different is being planned. Everyone talked about Y2K, Y2K. But it wasnt til a year and a half later the real Y2K came. People waxed endlessly on "2012" conspiracy theories or fears, but it's been a relatively quiet year.
Romney and Ryan could not be more disgusting creatures who make no bones of the progress and rights they'd scale back, almost to a Woolworth luncheon counter kind of vibe. Part of me thinks
people need to see this face however to rise up and demand true change. Maybe that sounds too book of Job-ish.
If there's any doubt as to my feelings on Romney and the GOP, I'll let Bill Hicks sum it up(just replace Rush with Romney and company here)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIT-SYVPV8sIm just saying, unlike Obama and company, Romney and Ryan don't hide behind any pretenses of a fake assurance...they're glowing with servile evil.
