They think this choice is as bad as John McCain choosing Sarah Palin in 2008.

But I think they are wrong. I think Romney is showing his true colors. He will do anything to win, and he thinks the country is leaning far to the right.
Good for him. Now we have a clear choice.
Ryan is guilty of magical thinking, that if we reduce government aid and force everyone to live on what they or their family can earn, in this winner-take-all economy, the country will be better off.
Well, guess what. It won't be.
We will have more corporate control, more power in the hands of the rich, and more successful attempts by the government and big business to screw the poor and the middle class.
Do you want to live by this fantasy, under this kind of magical thinking? Do you want to rely on the fantasies of right-wing crazies?
I don't. I hope the American people don't either.
But don't be too sure. The masses actually elected George W. Bush the second time he ran, which was in 2004. If they were stupid enough then, they can be stupid enough again.

Yes, I agree. Don't be to sure of anything! In this day of corporate and billionaire control, all under the guise of "free markets" anything is possible.
If the independents, moderate republicans, and moderate democrats were allowed to have real political, pragmatic discussions in the lame-stream media, we would find common ground. We would solve some problems. We would kick the cooperate elite to the curb.
It really benefits the people at the top for the "pragmatic majority" to not be allowed to come to practical solutions to hard problems. Because the truth is we would GET RID OF THE HUGE PROFITEERING. We would find ways to minimize the power elite's influence and destruction.
My guess is the lame stream media will continue to report about all the extremist activity, while the rest of us pragmatists twiddle our thumbs in frustration. We watch what we know are distorted "facts", extremist ideas and religious fanatics. We watch and wonder about our beloved America. We are afraid to ask the real question, how much worse can it get? The next few years are going to be amazing to watch. Pragmatists, hold on. Don't be too sure of anything.
Thanks Roger
