The polls do not look very encouraging leading up to election day. It seems that America may just be collectively stupid enough to elect the compulsive liars, and Koch brother lackeys, of Romney/Ryan.
We, on the other hand, cast our early vote for President Obama this week. Although I did so feeling much disappointment about missed opportunities
during the past four years. Examples of that disappointment include the absence of a single payer
healthcare system, NDAA, inaction on climate change, increased fossil fuel production including the tar sand pipeline, drone strikes, Guantanamo, failure to
rein in Wall Street, continued "war on drugs", prosecution of Bradley Manning and other whistle blowers, untethered support for Israel, etc, etc.
I strongly agree with Daniel Ellsberg in this article: Defeat Romney, Without Illusions About Obama. I also find information on this page troubling yet accurate: Political Compass: US Presidential Election 2012 However, we have still devoted time, effort, and donations in an effort to keep Romney/Ryan from making things far worse. Unfortunately, our two party system appears tragically flawed and careening towards a massive train wreck...
If this election leads to a Romney/Ryan administration the only up
side I can see is that maybe this is what it will take to wake up
the Left in this country. The time is long overdue for an active Leftist movement!! On the road to revolution...
