Michael Moore: Scary Words! Why President Romney?

In two months Americans will go to the polls once again to decide who our president will be for the next four years. We will not be allowed to vote on those who wield the true power in this country! On November 6th we will not vote for the chairman of Exxon Mobile or JP Morgan Chase or Citibank, or the Premier of China. That day may come, but not this year. Now, I know there are a goodly number of you out there who believe there's not a snowball's chance in Kenya that Barack Obama will not be re-elected to the White House, and why would you believe otherwise? After the incredible Democratic convention this week, with the best rock em sock em speeches I've heard from a Democrat's mouth since I don't know when. You can't help but not have a contact high after this past week if you are of the sort who believes in economic justice, peace, and a five dollar latte. Right now, with the buzz on, you are sitting there thinking that your fellow Americans will turn out in massive numbers, either because they want to continue the Obama era, or because they're scared "shitless" of the barbarians at the gate, or both. You're convinced that the Republicans have blown it with all their talk of the lady parts they want to control, even though we now know that they have no idea where those parts are, what they are, or how they work. Yes, it certainly looks like the voters will reject this obscenely wealthy man called Romney, this man who will not explain exactly how all his wealth was obtained, where he keeps it, or how much taxes he pays on it. He wants to turn the clock back to the '50's, the 1850's, and he refuses to offer any specific plan about what he'll do about anything. He wants to run the country like a corporation, but he can't even control one 82 year old actor on his own convention stage, a Hollywood legend who, in the matter of ten and a half minutes went from good, walking on the stage, to Bad, talking to a chair, and then to Ugly, the chair started swearing?
