As we approach what I believe will be another historic election in a couple of days I want to make one final plea for the future of our nation. We have a clear choice on Tuesday, do we want to be a country where we look out for one another and treat each other with respect and dignity, or do we want to be an everyone for themselves, fuck the environment, screw over everyone for a buck kind of country?
That is the choice before you. As much as I wanted to support a third party candidate for my own personal reasons, for the sake of my children, and yours, I had no real choice, I had to vote for Barack Obama, and I have to plead with my fellow Americans to do the same.
I have listened to every single argument that there is on why we should vote against the President on Tuesday and the only one of them that is actually based in reality is his stance on medical marijuana, and if you think Romney is going to be any friendlier to it you are insane! All the other arguments against the President are either based on ridiculous distortions or outright lies and I am really beyond sick of listening to them.
He was born in Hawaii, not Kenya, get over it! Our debt problem was created by President Bush Jr., NOT Obama, get over it! The crash of the GLOBAL economy was, in part, a result of President Bush Jr. and his policies, NOT Obama, get over it! Of course there are more people on Food Stamps during his Presidency than during any other - we are still trying to recover from the damage of the worst Recession since the Great Depression - it would be better to let everyone starve? What the hell is wrong with people? What ever it is, get over it!
Obama is not perfect, you will never hear me claim that he is, but if you think anything in this country will get better with Mr. Romney in the White House, you have truly lost touch with reality. The ultra rich might get richer, and I guarantee that Mitt Romney will get richer. The rest of us, well, we're just fucked. Our country will be gutted, our landscape ravaged, and our children, and our children's children will be paying for it in far more ways than money.
Obama is NOT a Socialist, a Communist, a Fascist, a Marxist, a Muslim, a Kenyan, a loser, an idiot, or any of the other insulting labels that the Republicans and Racists in this country have tried to attach to him. He is a damn good man who has done his level best for the people of this nation, and the rest of the world, against astronomical odds and a treasonously obstructionistic opposition. He has done more to move this nation in a positive direction than any President in more than a decade, that is for damn sure! And I am pleading with my fellow Americans to Please give our nation a chance to move Forward into the 21st century, and vote for Barack Obama, because Romney is only going to take us Back to the Dark Ages.
AMEN!!!
ReplyDeleteOH yes please. Am so frightened by young (seemingly) sane people who claim they will vote for the other... terrifying. Thank you mother.
ReplyDeleteThat is WONDERFUL!! You really should repost this on FB. If not, may I?
ReplyDeleteThis is it EXACTLY!! You have stated with precision everything this election is about!!
ReplyDeleteDitto! I'm sharing this with a friend of mine who feels the same way!
ReplyDeleteWell said....
ReplyDeleteThe things people seem to forget is that we were in a free fall after the last election. Yes, things were different, but it was just a snapshot of the moment. We were accelerating into oblivion, and it took a bit to put on the brakes, get stopped, and start heading back up. Are we back? No, but at least we are going in the right direction, now.
ReplyDeleteI do/did NOT agree with the bailouts, especially banks. Production industry needed help, and I'm willing to bend for that. As far as I can tell, it's working. We still have a lot of work to do. I do not agree with Obamacare. I do believe all could have been accomplished with some tweaks here and there, instead of totally sweeping changes. The verdict is still out on this one.
Romney is a clueless, out-of-touch personality who has no idea what he is doing. He keeps trying to legislate social agendas (marriage, religion, abortions, women's health and bodies, etc.) which he has no business doing on any level. He has no idea of geography and how the rest of the world interacts with one another. My 11 year-old, autistic, grandson knows more about foreign affairs and geography than he does. (Admittedly, my grandson is extremely intelligent, but I'm just a grandma, what do I know? LOL)Obama has tried to keep his direction of our government in the sphere that it was meant to be. It's not an easy job, and he's made mistakes. "The person who never does anything never makes a mistake." He's done a lot. No one is perfect.
As far as the birther's issues, if one goes back to Federalist Papers of the 18th century, you can find that the wishes of our forefathers was that the president of our country has no other allegiance to anyone, any country or any corporation. I think Obama embraces this wholeheartedly. The same can not be said for Romney. He has corporate masters, and that's no secret anywhere.
So on Tuesday, I'm going to voting for Obama, too. He's not perfect, but neither am I. We, as a nation, (and women in this nation especially), need to vote for our best interests. We are heading back up, I don't want to see us derail at this late date.
Wonderfully said....I agree wholeheartedly and voted early!!! President Obama 2012!!
ReplyDeleteAnother thing worth mentioning...it took over 10 years for America to start recovering after the Great Depression. To expect Obama to fix it in 4 years is unreasonable.
