At
the last minute, when you are in that voting booth, you’re going to have second
thoughts.
Even though you have been given the facts you have chosen to
ignore them, you are aware of Mitt Romney’s and the Republican’s total
disconnect with what and who you are. You might be a little better off
financially than most people but you do know there are millions out there
suffering…all as a result of failed economic policies and deregulation…yet you
also know that the Republicans and Mitt Romney are proposing more of the same…only
on steroids.
It doesn't bother you that Romney is immensely wealthy and you even believe that those who criticize him are just jealous...but you have your doubts about this Bain Capital debacle and whether it is legitimate or ethical free enterprise.
You have heard about the Ryan Economic Plan and you are not
quite convinced that it would not be disastrous for the economy…after all; most
reputable economists have voiced their opposition to it. You are puzzled by how
Congress has voted against legislation they once proposed…you actually see the
no votes on everything and you are even questioning if it is not sabotage on
the part of Republicans…but hey, what difference does that make if the end
result is to get Obama evicted from the White House…right?
You know better than anyone else that your fellow
Republicans really resent the President because he is black…you are not a
racist so you can see right through their motivation. You have a close relative
or a dear friend who is gay and they are exemplary and honorable…you really don’t
have a beef against them except what the Evangelicals tell you…so the equality
issue is not your cup of tea…you just don’t care one way or another what people
do in the bedroom.
You have also taken notice of how relentless these
pro-lifers are and how they want to deprive women their sovereignty over their
bodies and even deny them other types of health care…you have a wife, a mother
and daughters…you think they are being targeted and on top of that you also
know they earn less than men.
You
are also very troubled with all this voter disenfranchising that has been going
on across the country because you truly believe in democratic participation and
you think that voting ought to be made easier, more convenient…not the
opposite. You also realize that they are not telling the truth that the
Republicans are doing this because they want to prevent voter fraud…you know
damn well it is to keep those who are likely to vote democrat out of the voting
booth…and yet you are there voting yourself.
Sure you have seen the figures and the charts…you noticed
that the economy and everyone does better under Democratic administrations
including the very wealthy who seem to do ten times better than the rest of us.
You are somewhat troubled by Mitt Romney’s gaffs and his
disconnect with the American people…you do, you see it but have chosen to
ignore it…you have been on denial.
So you are in that voting booth and you ask yourself “Do I
really want this man for President and this Party to lead us to ruin? Who will
you betray…your party or your country? Will you help make him emperor?




Oh, Raulito, there you go again... trying to confuse them with the facts!
