A CEO as president?

You have to be fucking kidding me! How can any rational person support such a ludicrous idea. Corporation have already influenced the government for the worse and now one of these despicable scum has a shot at the presidency. republicans have always gone on about how inefficient and corrupt the government is and now they have a shot at completely bringing that about. It is fucking surreal how the electorate is being deceived by the same evil people that nearly ruined this country in the first place and have taken the government hostage for the last 2 years.

All i have to say to "Corporations are people too, my friend" romney is fuck you. Fuck your bigotry and fuck your supply side ideas. You are a despicable person and should be ashamed for being such a liar and overall deranged person. If this asshole is elected we have the second coming of the fascists on our hands and that's not a stretch if you consider how similar republicans and German fascists are. Just remember how they deceive people into siding with them through division, lies, and hate filled rhetoric. How they propose to expand the military to record highs. Consider how they side with the wealthy and corporations without an ounce of consideration for the ramifications of their actions.

Obama offers a clear and thoughtful proposal for the future, albeit compromising with these lunatics, but the sociopath seeks to reverse our progress. So what if he was a moderate as a governor, do you think he will stand up against his cronies? NO, he wont and he doesn't intend to. The only reason he wants to be president is because he feels entitled to it. He slams the working poor for feeling entitled to basic necessities but disregards his own sense of entitlement because he believes that being wealthy makes him a better human being than working people. He feels it makes him morally superior, more intelligent, and highly qualified even if faced with facts stating the opposite.
