The Neverending Story

And so, at last, we've reached the end of a seemingly endless presidential campaign. The auspices favor Mr. Obama returning for another four years but don't take it for granted. Get out there and vote, dagnabbit!

Just as importantly, make a point to vote for your local Democratic candidates in 2014... if you still can. As long as Republicans run the state legislatures they will do everything in their power to diminish the right and ability of anyone except other conservatives to vote. They've been interfering with the voting process for the past two years and they'll keep right right on doing it until we vote their little butts out.

By some strange quirk of fate today, November 6th, known nationwide as Election Day... is my birthday. But send no cards, no letters, no fabulous all-expense trips to Toledo, Ohio. All I want is for all of you to go out and kick some Republican ass at the voting booths. Cheers!

Oh, That Mitt

Where are your tax returns, Mitt?

This is, mercifully, my final update of the "Oh, That Mitt" section of Raging Pencils. I say "mercifully" because keeping tabs on this lying, devious, deceitful, entitled abortion of a human has been, to me, no more pleasant than searching the stool samples of lepers for traces of corn. With my eyelids. I wish Mr. Romney many infectious, incurable, and painful diseases in the days and years to come.

For the past 16 years candidates for the presidency have graciously answered questions posed by the Presidential Youth Debate. But not Mitt Romney. He answers no one's questions. (In fact, it's been 24 days since he's answered any reporter's questions.)

------------

It's clear that Mitt Romney is going to lose the election. Who does he blame? Anybody but himself.

Republican Job Creation Update

For the past two years the Republican-led House had the chance to pass any number of jobs bills to get this country back on its feet. Instead, they did nothing, hoping that the lousy economy they were nurturing would ruin Mr. Obama's chance at reelection. That's the Republican way.
