There is an old baptist saying that draws in the revelations verse “I am the alpha and the Omega.” In the bible, it talks about God seeing the beginning of time and the end of days all at once as if they were seven days of the week. An old evangelist called Tony Campolo used to start his sermons yelling”it’s friday but sunday is a coming.”
Tony meant by this that Friday was the world now, and Sunday was the rapture. Well I am a devout Buddhist, but I am nothing if not a life long student of theology. Not because I believe, but because only through knowing the teachings of those gone before whether fable or not can I ever hope to identify someone trying to sell me or my world the emperors new clothes.
Well the first time I saw Romney a verse from the new testament snuck into my mind, it says “beware in the last days many will come in my name and I say I know them not” and with every member of the Republican party claiming God as their running mate this hit home. Romney can’t make up his mind from minute to minute on anything except he wants to take apart the world as we know it. He wants to gut what we haveand sell it off piece by piece to private corporations and leave us with nothing.
This man is so out of touch and he is a Judas. He is half Mexican and yet he hates the hispanic. In so many ways he and his cronies can’t come up with ways to wipe out their rights quick enough. The elderly, according to him, can live without medicare and medicaid, and the young, well according to him, their parents have $20,000 lying around to hand out to them because he says student loans are handouts they don’t deserve. One court case after another, Republicans all applauded by rommney are gutting womens rights so much that Rowe V Wade would need to leave the country to have any chance today. The disabled are losing ground so quick, even if we could walk we wouldn’t have a leg to stand on under a republican white house. And if you are any of the above and Hispanic you’re screwed.
Rommney says they should leave because they came here illegally and took food and jobs from the natives ? So if rommney was here when the founding fathers arrived he would have had the people who landed on plymouth rock arretsed and sent back, and john smith would have been arrested for harboring pocahuntus!
California was taken from the mexicans, louisianna was french territory and we stole every piece of land we currently stand on from the native americans. He says he is a devout mormon, yet his super pac takes money from a las vegas billionaire Hypocrit? what would his mexican ancestors say about his turning is back on his own heritage.
I try to stay out of politics. I really do but I love my adopted country with a passion and be damned if I am going to let it be outsourced by a heartless denier of his own self who cares so little that he will blatantly lie on camera about what he said on camera on tuesday then lie again about that statement the next day. I am not naive all politicians lie, even Obama but we australians have a severe allergy to gutless wonders who won’t serve their country who wont do the hard yards and then when someone else does they try and take the credit. And if my friends you look that up in the dictionary rommney has his photo next to it all.
He invented a version of health care so similar to obama care it could be a clone, yet when the black guy does it it’s communism? He touts his business experence, but all he ever did was deconstruct working companies and create staistics. We have had enough of republicans creating statistics, Bush was the expert he took a surplus and created debt, he took us from the top of every scholastic excellence list and when he left albania and mongolia are higher on the list of math achievent in the world than we are. The worst statistic he ever created was the disabled, he took our brightest and youngest and most promising and he sent them to a country that never attacked us and gave money to a country that did. Ten years later he turned almost 5,000 of Americas brightes into a death toll and over 100,000 disabled. Now the Republicans have a boutique industry successfully maiming and killing our future, they want us to keep the shop doors open because somewhere in a corner of this great country there is a graduating class they havent put in a uniform or ultimately a body bag yet.
So vote for who ever you want this november, but before you do remember back to your first day in college when the dean told you look left and look right four years from now one of you wont be here? Well do the same next time your in a group of american youth because if you vote in rommney and the Republican party one of the young bright stars of this country probaly wont be alive. I dont care if you dont vote for Obama but for godsake look at the history of the Republicans it’s the best predictor of the future if they get in!
