Americans must be punished for their betrayal.

If you want to know why there is a war on unions, women, minorities, gays, etc.; look to the voting rolls of 2008. You people elected an African American president of the United States of America, and the repugs can not allow you to do that again. They were willing to allow you your pep rallies and marches. Hell, they were even willing to endure your romance with Hillary Clinton (at least she was white), but how dare you disrespect all that is holy by elevating a black man to president. Do you know how many people have not slept a wink simply knowing he's sleeping in the White House, on the good linen?

To humor you, they allowed Sarah Palin on the ticket. Your obvious delight in the thought of a woman, who would be considered a minority (how that is when women represent half of the population is beyond me) was again being manipulated. The fact that she was not a bright woman did not matter because there is no such creature as a "bright" woman. They gave McCain his opportunity to take the seat. The fact that he's ancient and kept saying he had not said things that were on video tape didn't matter. When your grandfather starts doing that, what do you do? You give him the remote and walk away. He thinks he's in charge. They would have been able to control McCain most days without stripping all of his dignity. A feeble old man and a not-so-bright woman should have been able to beat an African American. They should have been able to run farm animals and win against an African American. C'mon America! What's wrong with you? We're racist . . . right?!

America, you betrayed the repugs and you will pay. They don't care about 99% or any of that other bullshit you're selling. You can sign petitions, march, take up collections and vote. They are going to steal this election, one way or another, and make you pay. America, I hope you like rat holes because you are going to be run through one of the darkest, dampest, dirtiest they can find. You will work for pennies, your benefits will disappear, your workplace safety will be a distant dream; your air, water, and food will be filthy and healthcare obsolete. You have looked at Third World countries for years with pity in your eyes. After the repugs get the White House you will only have to look in the mirror.

Am I saying all is lost? Nope. But, we had better be vigilant in everything. Every step taken between now and November had better be double-checked. If Wisconsin told me nothing, it says they can fix a vote. Scott Walker and ALL of his cohorts won except one who is currently being challenged. Challenged because the fix was not supposed to allow any Democrats to seep through the crack. All of the polls are unreal. You look at the crowds who come out for Romney and look at the crowds for President Obama and tell me the polls are correct. The media is obviously tainted too. This is not paranoia, people. There is a game being run on all of us. The people with the money have grown weary of playing with us. Be vigilant. Vote. And, be vigilant.
