My Take On The 2012 election

OK, here's my take on the 2012 election: I'm sure the election will be closer than I'd like and here are a couple reasons:
  • The republicans are good at mobilizing their base with lies and fear and getting them to the polls -- the republicans even drive their riding lawn mowers to the polls to vote.
  • Obama is half black and there are a lot of people who would rather vote for the devil than vote for a black man -- anyone who questions Obama's religion or calls him a socialist is really saying they wouldn't vote for a black man. These days, people would rather be labeled a dumb-ass than a racist.
Here are the reasons I think Obama will win:
  • People saw how detrimental a right-wing government can be with the Bush administration driving up the deficit by starting 2 wars and cutting taxes.
  • They saw how weak the conservatives can make the government, and tarnish our reputation with the international community.
  • They saw how the conservatives can bring us to the brink of a 2nd depression.
  • The republicans are tearing each other apart and the current front runner (Romney) was their third choice in the last election.
  • Obama is half-black and there are a lot of people who want to vote for a black man, who wouldn't otherwise vote.
Don't be a dumb-ass -- vote for Obama in 2012.
