This would be more outrageous if it were, say, $10 a month, or $100 a year.

It's mostly backed up if you look on the net for yourself, it's a file for McCain and his advisers to read to know what they're getting into with a candidate, not an essay with sources all over the place.

I bet when they voted for Romney they didn't see this coming.

uh i think it's pretty outrageous to begin with. if you're blind you shouldn't have to pay to say that you're, in fact, blind.
Romney was a jackass who screwed Massachusetts over. I might not entirely agree with Obama on some issues, but there is no fucking way Romney should be allowed to be president.

It'd be nice to see some proof, no one who supports Romney is going to believe this without proof.

I'll try and see if I can find something more definite.
See, this is how it is.
Romney seemed like the reasonable, relatively normal and stable candidate when he was surrounded by batshit crazy. Put anyone next to Michelle Bachman and Herman Cain and they'll seem like a good choice.
But now that Romney has to stand on his own two feet and he can't prop himself up on the craziness of his republican cohorts, his whole bid is falling the fuck apart under the scrutiny that had previously been divvied up amongst a dozen crazy motherfuckers. The magnifying glass is on Romney and Romney alone, and all the crazy bullshit he got away with for two years of campaigning is now in the spotlight.

Well it's right at the end of a 150+ document and only 3 lines.
The majority of claims made in this document cite news articles or other sources.

his eyes look really small in that picture compared to the rest of his face. Or maybe its his forehead being too big.
romney is known for flip-flopping
I don't know why dems didn't point this out earlier in the primaries, so some crazier would have won and they would have had an easier time.

Part of me feels like we'd be better off without a President sometimes.
He is the biggest flip-flopper I have ever seen
As someone who doesnt live in the US I am amazed and very scared at how close the polls are.....
I'm sorry to say, but most of that information is for humor or is fraudulent. Please use sources that provide solid information before seriously trying to convince the masses that Shit Romney (I don't like him either, but he's the best we have at the moment) is a fraudulent and greedy fellow when he's not.
The only reason we have him is for surrogate purposes, and since his main strength is of the economic stature, he will surely aid the economy by passing the needed bills in time for us to proceed with fixing the economy for future terms to build upon (or completely destroy)
OR you could have Sadam Houssein Obama, the man who wishes to deprive you of most of your monthly earnings, create a facist dictatorship state for the U.S. aswell as to merge it with Europe and Asia, create a desensitizable global market system that provides fuck all to the workers and lower families of this world and country, allowing a select few to rise to ultimate power above all else.
Oh and with all his blaming of Bush (Another terrible president) for the economic recession (he's not fixing at all), he actually ended up prolonging and hardly affecting such recession with all the botched bail-outs and taxes he commenced. If you compare this to all other recorded United States recessions' handlings by various president, you'll see that Obama has clearly handled the job situation worse than any other existing president so far by far.

[SUB]Even FDR handled his better in 1937, that's actually pretty damned sad - FDR's is not on the chart, but it is faster dealt with, look it up.[/SUB]
He marketted weapons to foreign countries' domestic guerilla and insurgencies, including various cartels in South America (Obama and Eric Holder are both now Oliver North's equivilant)
He continually also demonizes the U.S. in front of foreign powers.
There, my disorganized and confusing post is over, I'd hope you atleast learned something from the jobs chart.

There is this thing called a "thesis." You learn about it in college. It's the fundamental premise for a piece of rhetoric.
See, a thesis is sort of like a mission statement when you're trying to argue a point.
You begin your assertion with a clear statement of your thesis. "I think Mitt Romney is an asshole because..."
And then usually you re-state your thesis at the end in some form. "And that's why Mitt Romney is an asshole."
Theses are important because they help people to understand what the jesus crikey fuck you're talking about.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of a thesis, nobody understands what the jesus crikey fuck you're talking about.
