This election does present a really difficult choice.  If you are a radical religious rightist you have to decide between a candidate who is pro-choice on abortion and believes women should have the right to control their own health decisions and one who was pro-choice but has decided he is now pro-life and if women become pregnant through rape or incest, well, that’s really no different than any other insemination so it’s just too bad. Let’s not even get into gay marriage. Then if you also happen to be a bigot, you are faced with the additional dilemma of choosing between a Mormon and a black man.  Which do you hate the most?  Politics really does get difficult doesn’t it? What if you are an independent who is totally fed up with the crap being flung around by both parties?  Do you trust Romney who keeps saying “I know how to… (fill in the blank)” He’s claiming that he knows how to do just about anything to correct everything but since he has not done anything on the national or international scene (Massachusetts is not the United States--it does not have a foreign policy) how can you believe that he can do all he says, especially when his position changes according to what day it is and his audience.  Obama claims that his policies are working and will bring us salvation given enough time and that our wealthy elite exists solely for the purpose of shitting all over the middle class while being coddled by the Republicans with huge tax cuts.  You will notice I have spared you more commentary on last night’s debate.  Romney came across as more energetic, articulate and well prepared.  Obama looked like he would have rather been any place but where he was.  Both of them said nothing we have not heard before.  As one commentator said today, last night’s debate probably ensured that there will be fewer viewers for the next one.
