" Billionaire Warren Buffett says: “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
 That just about sums it up. No matter what Romney the Robot says, with his $330 million nest egg he's so far up in the catbird seat that he has no idea how the 99% live, think and feel. George W Bush at leasy played at being just another one of the "good old boys" and his performance was almost convincing but when Romney talks about the "cheesy grits" it's far too obvious. If by some unfortunate chain of events the Robot gets into the White House, most of us, except Buffet and the other 1 per centers - are screwes.

It was way too close for comfort. Casey and his two henchmen almost tipped it the other way and Collins was the only Repub. to vote "nay". If the Repubs win the White House and get control of the Senate we are totally screwed. So hitch up your belts, pull up your socks and get to work. We must work for every sane candidate that's running this year and do everything we can (that's legal) to block as many of the right-wing nuts that are trying to turn this democracy into a full-fledged oligarchy and who just might do it if they get elected.
