It's all in the votes.

On the other paw, if he hadn't gotten a spine transplant from a jellyfish, he could be president NOW! I was steeling myself to hold my nose and vote for him and he went and preemptively caved at his own convention because the republicans might say something bad about him. Why? Because the fucking REPUBLICANS wanted him to put a plank in his platform involving deities and internal affairs of another country (Israel.) He may not get enough votes, not because the republicans don't like him, but because his own base is coming to despise the brilliant but cowardly orator. The country is knackered. And I'm too old for violent revolution. Fuck me.

Flag Burning!!!11 Putting a few words back in the platform about Jerusalem or God gets it out of the news after a day or so. It's not going to change his actual policies about them. It takes the issue away from the Republicans and doesn't feed their noise machine. It lets him concentrate on the big issues. Don't get distracted. Look at the big picture and the obvious differences his or Rmoney's administrations would make in the direction the country takes. My $0.02. Hang in there. Cheers, Scott.

If the Republican's had just let the damned banks fail... we would have already broken the country and got to keep both pieces... and glued them back together by now. Yes, I know the democrats aren't much better... but at least they aren't as friggin out of touch and "look at this voodoo doll" (or hey lookit this shiny...) as the Republicans appear to be. Meh.
