Bush...Romney...Romney...Bush. After 4 years with President Obama, I'm back in tirade mode.

Does anybody else find yourself getting angry? Ranting? Calling out horrible names?
Swearing at things said by Romney?

I mean, seriously, during the eight years of Bushie boy, I got to the point where I
could NOT stand the sight or sound of that man. All the lies. Smirks. Condescension.
Lack of caring. And Cheney. Don't get me started.

Then President Obama took office. My blood pressure settled down. I could watch
the President on TV. I could read his remarks about things. What a difference.

Now, I'm right back in the mode of being driven CRAZY by the sight or sound or words
of Romney. He is such a lying sack of $hit. No integrity. No honesty. Arrogant.
Dismissive. Unempathic. I cannot STAND to see his photo, to hear his words.
It makes me SO ANGRY!

The thought of Romney living in the White House and having control of the Oval
Office gives me chills.

President Obama seems to have a great ground game here in NC.

I sure hope Dems can gotv. Would love to retake the legislature here
after the horrendous outcome of 2010.

Went on a tirade last night at dinner--over many things--but mostly the 47% comment. My husband and son sat there very quiet and when I was done, said thank you for bringing them up to speed on what was going on. LOL. Then they started talking about it. My son is 21 and very involved. It was Obama running back in '08 that got him interested. He wasn't old enough to vote, but he's stayed interested not only in the presidential election but local as well.

are so misguided, so racist, so full of hate, that they will buy
into the propaganda they're being fed 24/7 by the likes of Faux
news and talk radio. How can we have so many ignorant people?
It really makes me very sad.

We just don't get it. We're duped. Blinded by ideology. And always, always, they lean on Fox and Drudge to support their ridiculous worldview. Even a child can figure out that those two entities are nothing more than agit-prop, yet half the country just beams it directly into their brains without question. Amazing!
