Tuesday America Could Die of Its Original Sin...ironic

I'm totally confident Obama will win handily on Tuesday....but I wonder if anyone has reflected on what (god forbid) could be a real irony.

Racism has, unfortunately, grown in these last 4 years and is why the Repugs are turning their dog whistles into bull horns. There will be a whole army of racists marching to the polls Tuesday, voting with not an "R" or "D" on their minds but an "N". If Romney won, these haters would blow away everything they need to survive in this country....medicare/ss, mortgage deductions, child deductions, etc. They will be firmly putting theselves on the rich bastard's plantations as hopeless wage slaves.

Their ingrained hate will put shackles on them just as much as their ancestors put shackles on black men, women and children. How ironic if this country collapses under the weight of its hate and it's orginal sin's payment comes due.

Have him go down in history books as a failure. Discourage the election of another.

It is not often plainly spoken, but this is THE issue of this election for many Republicans.
