Come out and vote.......

Forgive me the politics friends, BUT so much will ride on this election. If you've been disappointed with President Obama, remember what he was given to deal with and work with - an economy in shambles, two unpaid for wars, and an opposition ready to oppose him on what ever he proposed.

Despite that, Don't Ask, Don't tell is history, the administration is no longer defending DOMA, Obama and Biden are openly now supporting our right to marry, we are out of Iraq, Osama Bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive.

We expect so much of the president, but the executive branch is just one of three and each affects the others. The Congress can support or stymie what an executive wants to do, and the Supreme Court can declare unconstitutional and undo what has been done. Just look at the effects of their Citizens United decision of 2010.

No, Obama isn't perfect, but from where I sit, my choice is clear. I hope for each of you reading this, yours is clear as well.

Out next president will almost certainly have at least one, if not two Supreme Court nominations to make. Remember that, if you're even remotely thinking of staying home from the polls and not voting this year. We need Mr. Obama back in the White House and with a Congress that will work with, rather than against him. The Republican party is steadfast against our LGBT community. They are steadfast in wanting to reverse decisions such as Roe v. Wade.

And they are one Supreme Court Justice away from being able to do so.

Awesome video, thanks for posting that!

The fear is REAL - Nazi Morm Mittens and his wingman steroid arms want to roll America back to the '50s (the 1850s AND the 1950s!!)... They and their evil Repukian Party must be stopped. I call them Nazis 'cause, well, if the jackboot fits... and remember: who was it that the German Nazis went after first? The Jews? Nope. They were third. The Romani/Travelers ("Gypsies")? Nope they were second. Gays were the first group the Nazi went after... Other countries (Canada, vast chunks of Europe) are waaaaaaaaay ahead of America on GLBT (Human equality) rights, so why is the U.S.A. so far behind? Republicans and Fundies. They are destroying DECADES and CENTURIES of progress... oh, that's right... they don't believe in evolution...

President Obama has proven that he is the peoples' President, doing his job and preserving the American peoples' rights and equality... Jane Lynch mentions a quote by Thomas Jefferson and she is right, this is our generation's fight now and we can not sit back and wait for it to happen, we deserve equality as Americans (who also pay taxes - maybe we should get a discount or FULL exemption on that until we get FULL equality?) and we can not allow anyone, let alone the fucktards in the Republican Party, Tea Party or any organized "religion" (especially the so-called "Christian" ones (including Mormonism, which is a racist and homophobic white "Jesus" version of the bad sci-fi garbage that is Scientology) which always seem to ignore what Jesus actually said in their books anyways) take us back to the Dark Ages of the past.

Romney doesn't "believe in America" as his campaign motto says - if he did, why would he have some 14 different offshore accounts that are not being traded and built here, in American banks? I wonder what Romney would do if his two obviously gay sons (dunno about the three Mitt clones, but the blonde doctor and the Spanish-speaking Freddie Mercury clone? Seem very gay to me!) ever came out? (..and what's with Mittens' uniform fetish anyways? I guess when you're impersonating a police officer for shits and giggles it's useful to have a parent who is the governor, huh?).

Romney has a past of homophobic and bullying behavior and it seems that he simply hasn't "grown out of it". He belongs to a so-called "religion" that is racist and homophobic (not that I actually think that he believes in any religion, let alone one with a "god" from planet Kolob). He and a gang of fellow students attacked another student because they thought he was gay and they didn't like his long hair... So they attacked this kid and chopped it off. I would like to see this dude now get a chance to do the same to Mittens and the dude gets to chose something to chop offa Mitt - something he might miss... Mitt also abused a blind teacher by directing him into a storage closet instead of the room that he was seeking (that's real "nice") and bullied other students (including girls and underclassmen). Mitt simply hasn't changed. He is all lies and evil and so is his party. He wants four wars and has offended most of Europe on his "ugly American Mitt" tour a few months back, but says that somehow he's better at international interactions than the President. Mittens couldn't even take the time to learn the name and actual title of the leaders he was meeting (even calling one such person "Mr. leader" *sigh* Oh Mittens!).

Mitt Romney lately looks more and more haggard lately. I wonder if he will just lose his damn mind once and for all, when he fails to become President. I hope that investigations into his offshore accounts and business dealings will result in him going to prison... One can only hope... Gangster Al Capone went to jail not for his gang-related racketeering and ordered murders, but for tax fraud... Mitt's Karma, one way or another is coming to collect. I just hope that it's on national TV when it does (and they get him before he takes off on an "extended vacation" to a country with no extradition treaty...!!

Whatever his post-campaign fate, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and their evil group must be stopped or American (and the World) will lose!!

I can remember the day he was elected. My boyfriend at the time and I were driving and listening to his victory speech and when he included gay people in his speech i started to cry.

Right on.
I know there are people out there who feel that it's important to Not support Pres. Obama, because of his policies on terrorism are not sufficiently different than Pres. Bush...
