Fond memories from four years ago!

Just to help put things in perspective, here is a brief list of all the crazy bullsh*t Obama and Co were attacked with last election. For newbies, I promise you these all actually happened:

*Obama is going to kill your Grandma!

*Obama is going to round up all the Christians and put them in camps!

*Obama is going to swear his oath of office on the Koran! (Though that ones not even offensive...)

*Obama called Sarah Palin a PIG! (Also not offensive )

*Obama was born in Kenya!

Okay, so they STILL throw that last one around. Anyway, we weathered ALL of that garbage last time and we still won! We will this time too!

Did I miss any good ones?

but I'm more concerned this time about the tampering they're doing with voting registration and other related stuff. Rover's a PRO at stealing elections. One 'good' feature: Most of the repugs don't LIKE rmoney.

I'm cautiously optimistic that this won't end up being all that close.

...as long as we all keep working, that is!

bigoted shit. Romney will exploit it. Sorry, it's already worse than it was four years ago. There was no tea party four years ago. There were no ads calling him a racist. I could go on and on, but you are wrong, wrong, wrong. It is worse, worse, worse.

There were plenty of terrible ads out there. I don't have faith that everyone will vote our way, but I really don't think they're going to fool many people into thinking Obama is racist.

The American people KNOW WHO HE IS NOW. They may vote against him based on their opinion on the job he did, or think he did.

But he isn't really an unknown now. I think any ads that attack the man's character are going largely fall on deaf ears.

Think about it. He's done a very good job in spite of the Republicans blocking his every move. And Romney is not only unpopular in general, but now there's plenty of evidence to make him unpopular for good reasons.

or at least a lot don't. Look at the crap about him so many Americans buy into.

Oh, and I forgot: Citizen's United is another big reason why it's much uglier this time around. Already. And we have 3 months to go.

And he'll never defend him against false attacks. He'll be behind a lot of them.

They were communists too.

Seriously, I know we shouldn't be laughing off the repig ads at all, but things four years ago were way dirtier than a lot of people seem to remember.
