The horse isn't dead. We didn't get to see them.

and exactly why do you deserve to see them? there is no law requiring it. Mr. Romney is a private citizen who deserves the same protection under the law that you enjoy.

Your interest in Mr. Romney’s finances is kind of sick.

Everybody pays their fair share
Everybody gets a fair shot
War on women
Stay out of my uterus / womb / woman parts
Astro turf
Redistribution
Redistribution of wealth
They can afford to pay a little bit more
The 1%

We have your back

I'm sick and tired of hearing the same bullsh*t over and over (and over) again. It's all crap. All high pitched sceeching using euphemisms that do nothing but identify entrenched battle lines between fellow Americans. Who heard all this crap four years ago? Now we spit this useless garbage out at each other like we've all been talking this way forever. We are becoming hypnotized, goose stepping, idol worshipping, unthinking and unquestioning fools.

People - THINK - about your life a few years ago and think about what your life is like now and think about what your life will be like in another four years.

Does anybody really think that our national debt will be less in four years than it is now? Does anybody really think that a government that cannot run ANY branch efficiently and effectively will run nationalized health care well? We're not talking the Post Office here - we're talking about our bodies. Does anybody really believe that fewer people will be using the federal safety net in four years? Does anybody believe that we, as a nation, will be physically safer in four years?

Is there any sanity left in this country? Any critical thinking? Any self awareness or self reflection?

Anybody? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

And if Lincoln had only gone to the gentleman's club instead of going to see Our American Cousin, maybe he would still be alive today

We no longer think, we react. We believe everything the propaganda machines spit out on a daily basis. We believe the revisionists and talking heads. We've been spun so much that anything passes as truth and lap it up like babies and pablum.

Like the saying goes "be careful what you wish for, you might get it" I've never seen so many useless eaters wishing for utter chaos, in the misguided belief that it'll be better than the traditional American Dream.

No my friend, all critical thinking has been squeezed out of existence by screaming voices with big sticks. Shared misery for one and all.
