Folks, a con man has a shot at being President. I dont think he is going to win but...

the fact that he is polling close enough to where you have to say he has a shot is scary. This is a guy who is a total liar, charlatan, con/confidence man, with no core, no leadership ability, etc.

This latest flip-flop with regards to FEMA and disaster relief:

... in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy is totally retch inducing.

Not sure if you all heard this and I apologize for the self promotion, but I discussed this all and more on my last radio show episode. I went off on Mitt for a good 15 minutes.

1. Especially in Ohio............

where it could be decided. And I have to tell you that I am really scared about the shenanigans that may happen there.

2. off topic...

...but is the story of your evacuation yesterday somewhere on DU?

[stevenleser]

4. Yes. I managed to get back to my apartment late last night.

My work had placed me in midtown at a hotel (Le Parker Meridien) to be near work but they evacuated that hotel in the middle of the storm due to its proximity to the crane.

What I find frightening is that a segment of the American people is willing to vote for an obvious charlatan. I consider Romney to be a mirror being held up to the American people. Some people see the image of an American with no character and morals looking back. Romney as a mirror is showing some Americans just how ugly they are, how racist they are, and how immoral and of low moral character they are. The people don't want to be told that they're ugly and aren't worth a shit. Many of them voted for George Bush knowing he was a murdering liar. Now they pretend that he was solely at fault and that they weren't complicit in his immoral behavior. A certain segment of the American public needs to be reminded that they behaved and that they continue to behave like the lowest of the low.
