It boils down to...

...money.

I'm going to be harsh here. Lurch the Fucking StiffTM will win because he has more money than the President. That's the way of the world, those with more money win. Knocking on fucking doors won't win; being an activist - whatever the fuck that means - won't win; circulating a petition won't win; yelling and screaming and posting links won't fucking win.

The only thing that will secure a victory for the President will be money.

I know, I know you've got no money, you've been out of a job for two years, you can't spare the change in your pocket, but here's the fuckin alternative at the end of January if you don't donate:

[font size=36]PRESIDENT MOTHERFUCKER ROMNEY[/font]

You got five bucks, give it; you got an extra twenty laying around, give it; sitting on more, give it.

For the record, I've contributed $1500 to the Obama campaign thus far, I intend to pledge the max that I can give. After that I'll contribute to a super-PAC because the single most important issue is to keep Lurch and his fucking Republicant minions out of the White House. Again, I reiterate:

[font size=36]PRESIDENT MOTHERFUCKER ROMNEY[/font]

Oh, my final harsh comment, rationalizing is a fucking fools errand, don't.

Fire away.

put those reasons aside and donate to his campaign.

Romney doesn't need the help of Republican voters, he is relying on the 1% (his investors) to ensure he wins the election so he'll do their bidding and they'll get a return on their investment.

The rest of us aren't even part of the equation, except as a commodity.

Obama needs our help. He isn't perfect, and I admit my expectations were more than he's delivered. Yes, I have been disappointed.

But I recognize the alternative and what it means for the future of this country, and that's why I will donate as much as I can to Obama's campaign.

So I repeat - donate to Obama or we get

PRESIDENT MOTHERFUCKER ROMNEY

And a whole lot worse than Bush ever was. Wrap your head around that.
