This is a good article, but it ignores the one area where Commandante Zero has been a roaring success.

A dependent voter is a Zero voter, and Commandante Zero has been diligently expanding their numbers for the last four years. In the face of economic misery, there are a lot of people who would rather continue to collect that government check than hope for an economic turn around and getting a job to support themselves and their families.

Zero will continue to promise never ending goodies, even though the country is broker than broke. Romney wants people to go back to work. At one time, Americans did want to get back to work, but I'm not so sure that's the case now. If it were, Zero would be down in the polls by 10 points; instead it's razor close, especially in places like Ohio, where you'd expect Romney to be ahead.

We've become a decadent, spoiled and dependent people, and this election will show us just how deep the rot has gone.

I receive 40% Veterans Affairs service-connected disability. Do you think I’m going to pull the lever for Mr. Obama?

Yes; it will!

What you say is true...and depressing. Here in Massachusetts, Patrick Duval, probably the most incompetent governor in our history (and that includes Dukakis), got re-elected in 2010 because he had been rapidly expanding the number of people who are dependent on a government check. They've even gone so far as to send voter registration forms to welfare recipients with self-addressed stamped envelopes for their responses.

It is a criminal act for our elected officials to give away taxpayer money and buy votes like this. Until we the people rise up and have them convicted and thrown in jail, it will keep getting worse until the system breaks.
