The race is on now that Mitt Romney is going to be the de facto runner for the Presidency. Too bad it seems that he has surrounded himself with the DUMBEST people on the planet. On the flip side, Obama has done everything he can to lose as well with some of the stupidest policy ideas to come down the pike. Do neither side really want to win?
Let's start with Obama's desire to be a one term president. First, he has balked on 90% of his campaign promises, moving from the FDR-like person we had hoped into George W. Bush's third term. He caved inexplicably on a public option, has let the GOP run rampant over him with the constant threat of a filibuster and has behaved more like a Republican in almost every sense of the word. Now comes word that the Justice Department and the ATF and seeking to ban multiple shot shotguns under an obscure 1968 law that bans military style weapons form the public, nevermind the fact that that law is completely illegal under the 2nd amendment as it specifically states Congress shall pass no law infringing on people's rights to bear arms. The main reason we have that is to protect us from a tyrannical government from subjugating us, a feat that they could easily do now as the government has far weapon superiority over the public.
If this goes into law, millions of people will be affected, from hunters to sportsman to competitive shooters to people wanting to defend their home. It will also kill any chance Obama will win in November as, even I, won't vote for him at that point. Any form of gun control I am against at this point as the government has made it perfectly clear they will kill us at a moment's notice and what few weapons we have left we have to fight for. This is political suicide, as gun control is the one issue that crippled Al Gore and gave us eight years of Bush.
On top of that we have Obama going after pot dispensaries and weed in general. WTF? Don't we have better ways to spend the little money we have? There are FUCKING ZOMBIES, real life zombies, that are actually eating people from doing drugs like bath salts. This is a much bigger problem than some stoner smoking a joint in his parent's basement and Obama does not get it. This issue is hurting him badly in the polls, a majority of which support medical marijuana overwhelmingly and legalization by a slim majority. This is a wedge issue that should have been used but no, status quo as usual.
Then we have Romney who is so milktoast he is almost see through. The birthers are still out there spreading their idiocy, showing a complete lack of knowledge about how to authenticate anything. For the record, no person, no matter how much experience they have, can deduce whether something is a fake or not from a picture. It is not possible. So all this talk about layered fonts or signs of tampering have no idea what the fuck they are talking about. By the way, I am an expert on spotting forgeries as part of being a person with an Anthropology degree is studying how to spot fake documents, videos, photos, etc. This is a topic I have studied for decades and I see no obvious signs of forgery on the document as reported by any birther out there nor should I be able to without the actual document in hand.
Meanwhile, Trump and Sheriff Joe are still pedaling their nonsense for different reasons (Trump=publicity, Joe=getting back at Obama for Justice Dept. investigations into him). Most people know that this is crap, yet Romney continues to dance around the topic. Yes, he has said he believes Obama is a US citizen, while at the same time giving credence to the morons who believe this flat earth, no moon landing conspiracy crap. Obama was born in Hawaii. Nuff said.
This topic is hurting him in the polls as moderates and independents, people he needs to win over, see this akin to support for the KKK or elderly euthanasia. On top of that, Planned Parenthood are putting out dozens of ads slamming him for sending back women's rights by a hundred years. He has countered with job failing and Solyndra ads, neither of which is likely to help too much. His work with Bain Capital and the firing of thousands hurt his jobs first talk.
Romney is struggling in the polls and in key states like Ohio, Florida, NC, and Virginia, he is still behind by 4-8 points. Michigan, his home state, is a lost cause as is PA, where Obama leads by double digits. With Hispanics the fastest growing population group, the GOP is facing an uphill battle as not only do they overwhelmingly vote democrat, they actually vote. In NC, the Hispanic population has doubled in four years where Obama carried a narrow victory in 2008. With high turnout from blacks, Hispanics and young people, NC will go blue again. Recent polls on one of the reddest of red states, Texas, show a shift in demographics that could have the state go blue if Romney continues to sink. As one pundit put, the GOP demographic is dying out and they have not changed with the times.
This race is still Obama's to lose as this race looks a lot like the Bush/Kerry matchup from 2004. Bush was not a popular president and easily beatable but the democrats nominated Lurch instead and got their clock cleaned. Romney looks a lot like Kerry as they are both bland, MA politicians who pander to the lowest common denominator, a feat even the most die hard Republican will see through. Obama could still lose should he continue these idiotic policy moves that could doom his second term. For the most past, it won't matter who wins. Unless you're a woman, poor, black, Hispanic, young or anyone who isn't a rich, religious degenerate.
