You don't want to live on the planet where Romney and his supporters bully non-supporters, or you don't want to live on a planet where Ron Paul wins delegates? _________________ *some atheist walks outside and picks up stick*

Happy, now?
Actually they are not. Your boy Barak Obama is more of a Statist than is Mitt, the Plastic Mormon.
The problem with Mittens is that he has highly adjustable principles. Fits and any size and any situation. Barak Obama is a true mind-son of Saul Alinsky and Reverend Write. They both hate a free individualist American. The Obamanation is the latest reincarnation of the Progressive movement of which Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt were avatars.
Saw that the Obama camp was beginning with attacks on Bain, which is where Romney used to work. They might not be as effective for the President, as similar Bain attacks worked for Newt Gingrich for a short while during the primary.
...This could be why the Obama campaign is rolling out the Bain attack so early. They probably realize that Romney has a pretty strong counterattack, and know the anti-Bain argument will only get weaker as the election season progresses and Romney becomes more of a known entity. Right now, Obama hopes he can put that “Romney is a callous rich guy” image in the minds of voters before Romney is able to define himself to the public.
But this was also supposed to be one of Obama’s strongest lines of attack against Romney. The fact that Obama’s playing this card so early in the election, when many voters aren’t even paying attention yet, doesn’t seem to bode well for his campaign. He’s been able to successfully dominate the news cycle with one distraction issue after another, but how many more tricks does he have until that bag is empty?
I hate that I actually have to defend Romney here, but most people do stupid things when they are children/adolescents. Is American really come so far that they'll only accept people who have been perfect since they were born without causing pain?

Normally, I'd take that attitude. But the Republicans have been digging into the President's past - - as far back as his birth, and his childhood in Indonesia, trying to question the authenticity of the President's American identity.

We can trade platitudes all day, the fact remains that the current line of politics need to get off the personal attacks and start talking policy.

Sure, the whole world might in fact become blind in the end - but I can still be blind and feel good about the as*hole who started the fight losing his eye, too - as vindictive as that might seem.
