...To sing a worried song, as the old ballad goes.
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long (there is something called a state of terror, which is beyond worry, and we'll all be terrified soon).
If Ron Paul is going to show up as the REAL "anti-Romney", we're screwed, blued and tattoed.
- Ron Paul can't beat Romney, but because of the Pauloons, WILL siphon votes, and may generate a write-in campaign which would throw the race clearly to Obama.
- Ron Paul is NOT a Republican of any kind, he is a Big-L Libertarian, and there's a HUGE difference. Republicans are from Earth, Paul is from Zargon-5.
- Ron Paul is not actually a conservative, either, but conservatives are getting so terrified about the liberal Romney that they are swallowing the smooth old guy's line that he IS a Republican.
Bottom line: I don't like Romney, and I firmlyu believe he will not only continue Big Government, he will probably renege on his promise to end ObamaCare, and he's damn sure to approve any new anti-2A laws that might come down the line.
Remember that the US Electorate has an historic tendency to split power in Presidential elections, and having a Democratic Congress and a President Romney is a distinct possibility. If that happens, there will be few changes to the burdensome government which stifles our culture and our economy at present.
Frankly, I don't think the GOP has the starch right now to change the Senate to GOP, keep the House GOP, and elect Romney or Paul, either. I thnk that the best we can hope for is simply dumping Obama, which WILL be an improvement, but if the (D)onks get the Congress back, it will be a small improvement indeed.
From the left, they ALL look crazy, but Ron Paul is probably the craziest, and has a long history of racism to boot. How well will that go over if he's elected? Forget being a world power, we'd be worse than a laughingstock. And if we elect this mean idiot we'd deserve it!

He bro. Don't buy into the anti-Michelle crap. Just read the comments to these articles about her. You'd think every other man or woman in the country has a noose ready and a nice big tree limb to make use of on sight of a black person, and an "don't you dare get above yourself, you uppity woman" attitude. This country's not only not going anywhere, it's going W A Y backward!

Rivrsis, I'm not saying that "angry black woman" is necessarily evil. Sometimes it takes anger just to move the burden you need to move. Hell, my new company is built on anger to a degree, and my success with it will depend on being able to properly harness that anger. Michelle Obama was (when she started out in public life) and maybe, still is now, an anger-driven person. What I can't figure out is why she thinks she needs to change that.
Some succeed by guile, some by anger, some by just plain persistence, some by all three of those motivators.
