We all know that Romney is a pathological liar because we watch his earlier statements recorded on video and compare them to statements he has made recently.

The issue is there are people voting for this ....?.....who don't care to know, won't dare to listen and simply only hear what reinforces their own ignorance. And they believe their ignorance trumps our knowledge.

When the GOP loses this election on Tuesday, there will be plenty of blame gaming. And Romney will share big time it it.

But people will have to come to grips with the fact that the GOP caters only to corporations and the 1% and every one else is a commodity to them, low cost labor and the 47 % who are easily swayed by wedge social issues.

My hope is that this election will put to bed most of those divisive social issue and then people will see the GOP in its stark nakedness as the reptilian velociraptors they are.

orientation. Did anyone explain to him that being elected for a second term might help him in a presidential run; that dropping out to run for President so obviously was a dead giveaway of his intentions. This has ever been the case for presidential candidates, but handled with more finesse.
