I only thought I was happy

when President Obama was elected both times, my glee has risen this week in listening to McCain and Romney. My goodness, I do not like to think about where we would be today if either of those had been elected. I much prefer Cool Hand Luke than those two war mongers. Romney may do a good job of being a bishop in the Mormon church but this nation does not follow a bishops commands.

i.e. vote, register someone to vote and vote, vote to make sure a racist like Rand Paul is not elected...

Rand Paul actually says he wants to do things like fix the lopsided justice system which greatly punishes non whites out of proportion to whites, but he also thinks it is OK if a store owner tells a potential Black customer to fuck off because they are Black

so no Rand, I think you are bad news and as much as I have issues with Hillary, compared to you she is Gandhi and Mother Theresa and FDR all rolled into one.

GOP side of the ones talking at the present time. DNC will put a good candidate on the ballot and I will be voting for that candidate unless there is a big screw up and someone like Rand Paul would accidently get on the ballot.

I was really glad when Ron Paul retired and now we have his drippings in the Senate.

Good grief, how could the Republicans think those two were the best they had? Oh wait, they let Palin run for the office one heartbeat away.
