Vote for Obama, and deny the Liar !

My fellow Americans, the time is upon us.  This tremendously important election will likely determine the direction of affordable health care for all, the survival of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security  and the new face of the Supreme Court.  Please do not underestimate the impact this election will have on our lives and generations to come.  President Obama is the only choice if America is to remain a secure land of opportunity for all, instead of a social Darwinian nightmare of survival of the richest and best connected.

On this election eve, it’s hard to imagine there are any truly undecided voters out there, so I’m going to focus on some of the most important reasons to vote for Barrack Obama, and  remind you to remind your friends and neighbors of the extreme importance of going out and voting for him tomorrow.  And I hope this will prove a useful shortlist for you to explain to your deluded friends and family members who think voting for the compulsive liar Mitt Romney is in their best interests.  You can probably give up reasoning with these people at this point, but hopefully come Wednesday, you can remind them of why you voted for Obama, and why they should actually be thankful that Obama has won re-election.

Survival.  Pure and simple and Darwinian enough, but everyone needs to remember when they hear such buzz words as “Obama Care,”  “voucher care” or “European style socialism” that they are more than mere labels.  Behind the meaning of these carefully loaded words is one of the most fundamental survival needs we have in the modern world:  access to healthcare and modern medicine.  A vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan is a vote to return the power, money and resources of the healthcare system back over to the health insurance companies. These insurance companies make enormous profits every year by collecting money from people to protect them and then denying them care when it cuts into their profits. It is plain and simple thievery.   Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to repeal Obama Care to return the power of denial of coverage for profit back to the insurance companies.  And they desperately want to get it repealed before all of it is full implemented, by 2014. They know that once Americans experience all of the protections and benefits that the Affordable Care Act provides, it will be much more difficult to take away.

Keenly aware that it is difficult to take away successful government programs once they are realized, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are not just trying to kill Obama Care, but to pull a sneak attack on Medicare.  Eventually, Mitt Romney, his running mate, and many conservative republicans hope to dismantle Medicare as we know it and replace it with a voucher system for seniors to go out and purchase health insurance on their own.  Health insurance companies that would again be playing by the repealed Obama Care laws, where they rack up profit by letting sick people die.  Knowing that no one in their right mind currently on Medicare or close to it would accept this deal, they are saying in essence, “don’t worry, if you are age 55 and older, your guaranteed coverage of Medicare will continue, we only plan on screwing over your children completely. ”  And of course they are counting that those of us under 55 are not paying too much attention to medicare just yet.

Social Security is still under threat, hard as that may seem to be, but keep in mind that republicans have been salivating  for years to cut Social Security benefits, raise the retirement age, or privatize it.  Remember when George W. Bush was going to use his political capital on getting Social Security privatized ?  Congressman Paul Ryan was his leading partner in that effort at the time.  Paul Ryan, who’s latest budget proposals have included more tax cuts for the wealthy, and draconian cuts to Medicaid, which serves the most poor and vulnerable among us, to pay for it.  Paul Ryan, who is currently trying to replace Medicare and cut Medicaid, was also George W. Bush’s right hand monkey when Bush dreamed of turning over Americans’ guaranteed retirements into the hands of his criminal friends on Wall Street.  Let’s make sure this is the end of Paul Ryan’s career of trying to destroy the great social safety nets we most all will need at some point in our life.

Have you seen the outdated attacks on women’s basic right to contraception these days ?  It is truly unbelievable.  Remember the ‘forcible rape’ republican, Todd Akin?  In 2009 Paul Ryan co-sponsored the Sanctity of Human Life Act of 2009, a radical bill that would have given fertilized eggs the exact same rights under the constitution as human beings.  When asked  by ex-preacher and current sellout asshole Mike Huckabee on the Fox Propaganda News Network if Romney would have supported a constitutional amendment in Massachusetts that would have granted legal status at conception, Romney responded “Absolutely.”  When asked during a republican primary debate in 2007 on whether he thought Roe v. Wade should be repealed, Romney replied the same.   “Absolutely.”

The next president may get to nominate two Supreme Court Justices.  With a current Supreme Court already stacked with such conservative partisans like Antonin Scalia and such clueless dip-shits like Clarence Thomas, do we really trust Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan to nominate reasonable men to this important lifetime position?

Absolutely not !

Those are the short and dire list of why we must reelect President Obama.  Those are the fundamentals to remind your friends and family of the importance of voting for him for a second term, and simple and direct answers to your beloved countrymen who are tricked into voting for Mitt Romney and the republicans.  These are by far not the only important reasons to vote for Barrack Obama, but they are the ones that should motivate people the most, as our lives literally depend on it.  And this should cheer up our friends who mistakenly voted for Mitt Romney, who God willing, will be an old Saturday Night Live joke shortly and fade into the memory of the nightmare that could have been.

    Well done. Great prose. Now, if you really want me to vote, please write a post about how poor the electoral college system is.
