Author Terry McMillan on Why Mitt Romney Is the Wrong Man for America

The candidate lies to women, manipulates the truth about his taxes and his tax policy, and covers for racists. The ‘Waiting to Exhale’ author’s case for President Obama.

Mitt Romney is a pimp. He’s pimping his base, lying every opportunity he gets with the hope that the uninformed—as well as those who are supporting him because they just want to get that black man out of the White House—will spread his ill will and surrender to his lack of compassion for those who have suffered because of what President Bush and corporate America have done to Americans. If I thought for one minute that Romney would be better for this country than President Obama, I would vote for him.

My friends and family know that this election has me as upset, if not more than I was during my well-publicized divorce a few years back. So you know I’m really angry then, right? Though I’m writing my new novel (due in another month), I can’t seem to pull myself away from the 24-hour cycle of news with the latest election chatter. I admit I am obsessed and over the last few months I’ve talked about, ranted about, and even tweeted regularly about just how racist this entire campaign season has been and how so many people either don’t see, or refuse to see, the real truth behind the Republicans and Mitt Romney.

Thankfully not everyone is so blind. This past Sunday, The New York Times announced their endorsement of President Obama and listed the very real ways he has helped this country, as well as highlighted how much he’d accomplished in four years, despite no Republican support.

From day one of the Obama administration, Republicans agreed not to support any legislation he proposed that would have improved the economy, especially the Jobs Bill, which would have created almost 2 million jobs. Their goal was to make the president look ineffective, while their inaction and filibusters should be seen for what it was: racist, as well as treasonous for allowing our country to nearly go bankrupt just to make their point. They didn’t mind when Bush was spending trillions on wars, did they? In their quest to embarrass and humiliate the president, Republicans have harmed our country.

1. republicans are such pussies

Republicans are afraid of latinos, blacks, teenagers, women who work, and now voters.
They would rather throw stop Americans from voting... Americans who served in Iraq, students tring to improve themselves. A good election for them is when fewer Americans vote.

Such pussies and so un-American. They are the furthest thing from being Patriots
