Why...

Why I vote the way I vote...

Cincinnati fire fighter Doug Stern:

"I am an Ohio firefighter and an unlikely choice to be addressing you tonight, because for the vast majority of my voting life I have been a Republican. So why am I here?
Well, something happened recently. The Republican Party left people like me. As a member of the middle class, they left me; and they certainly left me as a public employee. Somewhere along the way, being a public employee—someone who works for my community—made me a scapegoat for the GOP. Thank goodness we have leaders like President Obama and Vice President Biden who still believe that public service is an honorable calling. When I go to work, when there is an emergency, I want someone on my crew who has my back, someone who helps me get the job done, someone who is willing to go through hell with me. I expect the same out of my elected leaders."

Where Stern is struggling with today's Republican agenda and the budget cuts and outright attacks that come with it, Randy Johnson, Cindy Hewitt, and David Foster struggled with Mitt Romney's Bain Capital.

"I don't think Mitt Romney is a bad man," Johnson said.

"I don't fault him for the fact that some companies win and some companies lose. That's a fact of life.
What I fault him for is making money without a moral compass. I fault him for putting profits before working people like me. But that's just Romney economics."

To me, making money without a moral compass makes you a bad person no matter how nice you are to your wife and kids. But maybe Randy Johnson is more forgiving than me. Cindy Hewitt took on the inevitable Republican outcry that these workers are just poor losers in our noble and moral economy:

"It was a really difficult time for me and my co-workers, but not for Governor Romney and his partners. While we watched our jobs disappear, they ultimately walked away with more than $240 million. Of course I understand that some companies are successful and others are not—that's the way our economy works. But it's wrong when dedicated, productive employees feel the pain while folks like Mitt Romney make profits."

KIR, relax! Nit wit has as much chance of winning the Presidency, as you would stop kissing Obama's ass non stop! In other words, neither is going to happen!

Kissing Obama's ass comment from Daisy who has been the toilet paper roll of the Republican party!

[keepitreal]

OK...who are you and what have you done to our daisy ?!?

The first comment had to do with the scapegoating of public sector and Union employees...

The second had to do with vulture capitalism...

Both were about the downfall of the GOP and why...and neither were about Obama specifically. You seem to be the one that can't get past the fact, that not every critique of your candidate...is a love fest for the other...

Lets keep it real...K ?
