1.6 million AFSCME members promote a new flyer (ETCH-A-SKETCH productions)

Viviene Dixon Shim sat in her home in Broward County, Fla., watching the final Presidential debate on Monday night – the one in which GOP hopeful Mitt Romney continued tapdancing through his recently hatched plan to be a moderate – and when it was all over she called foul.



The final straw might have been when Romney, who said we needed to reduce the number of teachers, claimed to love them. Or when Romney, who said we should let Detroit go bankrupt and kill 2 million jobs in the process, claimed to have wanted to save the American auto industry. Or when Romney, who shipped American jobs offshore to China for personal profit, claimed he’d be tough on China.

Dixon Shim heard all of these cynical claims and knew Romney was not the candidate for her when it came to the Presidency of the United States.

“It is becoming very embarrassing,” Dixon Shim, a pharmacy technician and member of Local 1363, said of Romney’s willingness to say anything to get elected. “He was confrontational and every time Obama pointed out certain things he was involved in he came back and said he hadn’t been. None of his plans are specific or defined. I don’t think you can really trust him.”
