THE FINAL RALLY OF THE FINAL CAMPAIGN

"NO-DRAMA OBAMA" SHEDS A TEAR AT HIS LAST CAMPAIGN RALLY, IN IOWA, where it all began. Surrounded by friends and supporters in the great, salt-of-the-earth state of Iowa, which will deliver their votes and their love for the President for one last time, the President spoke of his hopes for our nation's future and reminisced about 2008, closing with one of his favorite stories about the plucky little old lady who lifted their spirits after a tiring day of campaigning with what would become one of his campaign anthems: "FIRED UP! READY TO GO!"

Now it's all up to us, the PEOPLE, to exercise our constitutional RIGHT TO VOTE, without which our democracy cannot not exist. I honestly do not understand regular folks, Republicans, who will vote for a lying weather vane like Mitt Romney, who set new historic standards for running a dishonest campaign. Mostly, these are very ignorant, ostrich-like people with an endless capacity for rationalizing and excusing the lies. And projecting. How laughable is it for Romney to close by stealing Obama's campaign theme, "vote for change"?! If Romney's backward, reactionary, classist, arrogant, condescending, racist, hateful (projecting), lying campaign is "change," then the voters who bought into it are the greatest SUCKERS in the history of Humankind, except perhaps for the Germans who embraced fascism.

Were my ears deceiving me, or did Romney actually say, alluding to The Boss, Bruce Springsteen traveling with Obama, that he did not "see the Beatles" in his crowd. THE BEATLES?! I mean, this guy is SO, SO OUT OF TOUCH, literally 50 YEARS behind the times, that it's scary. But I've got to think that those reasonable Republicans you can fit in a closet are deeply embarrassed about the outrageous PARTISAN voter suppression efforts in the states of  Ohio and Florida, in particular, but also in other states controlled by Republicans. Forcing African Americans and Latinos to stand 6, 7, 8 hours in line to vote is beyond outrageous; IT'S CRIMINAL. Even a Republican, Christie Todd Whitman, former NJ governor, said this looks like voting in a third world country, not the United States. These right wing Republicans who wrap themselves around the Constitution personify hypocrisy. They are truly "head cases" including, most threatening of all, Mitt Romney.

VOTE FOR THE GOOD GUY. ROMNEY VOTERS, IN YOUR HEART, YOU KNOW WHO HE IS.
