Look, you're nuts. You believe fox news is fair and balanced. You are old and scared and that makes me feel sad for you. But that doesn't make you any less delusional. After the disaster that was bush, easily in the top five worst presidents in our history, anything would have been better. I will vote for Obama in a heart beat. Compared to bush he's been lincoln. Here's the thing you will never understand. YOU are the extreme. You belong to a party that is racist, that believes in religion over science, a party of bigots. Your new front runner Cain doesn't even know that China already has nukes. And after months of Cain claiming that african americans shouldn't use the race card, he pulls it out when he's caught with his hand in the cookie jar. I know, blame it on the liberal media, right? And women looking for attention, right? You're so predictable. But what you have to realize is your type is dying out. Even if you manage to get Obama out of office due to your kind being racist, bigoted, hate filled, and ignorant, it's only a matter of time. You should probably start stocking up on canned goods and building your bomb shelter. Or maybe stock up on frozen cheese steaks. Haaa. I know I’m wasting my time, but here goes…
