It's a disgrace that we live in a time when you can publicly...

say what Romney said of the environment and have it be seen by many as a positive. That you can say the president is for clean energy, improving the environment, saving the planet, and deliver it in a snarky condescending "those faggoty ideas" tone. Then simultaneously say you yourself are for big oil and coal and be dead serious. To believe these things is one thing, to run for president having them as a corner stone of your campaign is just sad.

reached any independents, but maybe they don't care if they don't get the independent vote. Maybe all they truly want is the right wing vote. Doesn't make any sense to me but okay.
