... a sad admission: I will vote for Mitt Romney.
Under the following circumstances.
First, we need to get our priorities straight. It is phenomenally difficult, I realize, when bombarded by a multitude of false information laced, so deceptively with truth. From so many different points of view, from so many different sources, with so many different spins and purposes.
Question: do we want things to change? Or would we rather have a media market every two to four years. Do we want to make some headway, or would we rather bicker and argue? There are a lot of conflicting ideals in this bubbling country of ours, but one most people would agree on is: we need to deal with the tribulations of the present and the future and, as well, the past.
Politicians play games in office. Neither side can agree with the other, for obvious reasons. Some are petty, but many are ideological. And most are theoretical.
Which brings me to science. Which we all believe with increasing certainty. In order to test a theory, you need to collect some data. At the moment, we have a more democratically controlled government. We've had a democrat president for only four years and most of his presidency has actually been governed by the presidents before him. If we really want to know if the current theory is correct, we need to pursue it for at least 12 years. 16 would be better.
After 16 years of democratically managed country, and it is not working, I will try a different theory willingly. And even vote for someone who, I think, is utterly bizarre.
