Very interesting. Choices here indicate what's important to these candidates. . . Romney/Ryan - "Made in China" Obama/Biden - "Made in the USA"

I thought this was a good summary someone put up on Facebook on why I'm voting for Obama. . .

Preacher Tells Flock that Gays Stirred Up Hurricane Sandy. I was wondering how long it was going to take..

Nice update on pathbreaking, openly gay Episcopal bishop Gene Robinson... http://www.advocate....hought-he-would

This has been discussed elsewhere here but I can't find the thread to append this to. So on its own: Shocking Footage Emerges of Mitt Romney Spouting His Bigoted Bile Against Gays Michelangelo Signorile In my last blog post, which lit up the Internet and social media, I quoted Mitt Romney making shocking remarks that were highlighted in investigative reporter Murray Waas' Boston Globe story last week. Now, for the first time in this campaign, video has surfaced of Romney making those bigoted claims about gay parents while pushing his heartless policy against their children. Waas' article revealed how Romney, as governor of Massachusetts, refused to …

Friedman did a nice job... Why I Am Pro-Life By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN Published: October 27, 2012 311 Comments HARD-LINE conservatives have gone to new extremes lately in opposing abortion. Last week, Richard Mourdock, the Tea Party-backed Republican Senate candidate in Indiana, declared during a debate that he was against abortion even in the event of rape because after much thought he “came to realize that life is that gift from God. And even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.” That came on the heels of the Tea Party-backed Republican Representative Joe Walsh of Illinois saying after a recent debate…

I had to snap this picture on the back of a camper this morning in Laguna Beach. The sun is sort of blocking out the slur "commie" just so you know. People are so influenced by FOX it's sad.

I have long regarded Billy Graham as being at least a little above his hate-filled brethren. But now my judgment that his son, Franklin Graham, belongs in the lowest bolgia of Dante's Hell has been reaffirmed. http://m.newsobserver.com/observer/d...tguid=0RoBRUlf

In a sit-down interview with ABC's Robin Roberts, Obama completed what has been a markedly long and oft-mocked evolution on the matter. "I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don't Ask Don't Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded…

As you know by now, Donald Trump was telling anyone who would listen on Wednesday that he had a bombshell that would change the face of the election. And all of the news media jumped on the tease like the stupid people they are and this was his bombshell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdZE3ex7dT8 Well it hit like a thud. And today on "The View" Barbara Walters let the Donald have it. Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcKeYhqAHQw

This just says how far right and wacky the Republican party has gone. . .

So true. . .

She is so cute and well behaved for a seven year old on TV... I hope she can get some rest and gets to do things she like to do other kids of her age... http://m.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/post/honey-boo-boo-endorses-obama/2012/10/16/039d609e-17d8-11e2-9855-71f2b202721b_blog.html

Good luck Obama! The race is close but he will be able to get re-elected. I think Romney put on a good fight and he has done his best.

Lawrence O'Donnell hit it head on though... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88A70OWdV1U&feature=player_embedded

Obama had quite a lively talk in Virginia about this today. . .

It's so sad that she was hurt so bad for pursuing education for women. Once again in the name of a "religion". . .

Where are his hands?

I'm so excited about the next debate. I hope Obama do well on this one. We will see...

Before the debate tonight, I URGE you to take a look at THE ROMNEY TAX PLAN.

November 7th Though their agendas are hidden, both Romney and Obama have plans to dramatically remake the size and character of American government. Very, very quickly.
