You got it. Those who work hard, are responsible, take care of their families, have good common sense, etc. will not be pulling the lever for The One. They come in all sizes, shapes, colors, sexes, etc. That we have become a nation far too full of nanny state wannabes and whiners is alarming.

I think he's really going to have trouble with the "crazy 28", but that's just me...

So anyone who votes for Obama is not responsible, does not take care of their families, and has no common sense? Please explain that to the men and women who are fighting for you right now who will be pulling the lever for "The One" as you say. You honestly think you are better than these brave fighters who are sacrificing themselves for you?
