Election Selection

I'm a fan of blogger Mose Gingerich of "Breaking Amish" fame. He wrote a very interesting blog about his choice for president. http://amishinthecitymose.com/  

Don't read it now; it's quite long. 

Agree with him or not, it's interesting to see how Mose's Amish life was non-political, and how he reacts to the bombardment of ads and claims and rampant rumors that only serve to distract him from making a cool decision. 

Just yesterday I received an email from a friend with this picture of the President allegedly cheating at the last debate by wearing an earpiece and being coached on his answers.

I found it interesting, because it made me wonder

who might be the person coaching the President.

Do you suppose it was his daughter Sasha sitting at a computer Googling statistics? Perhaps it was former President Clinton chiding, "Geez, Barry, lighten up." It could have been Michelle saying, "Honey, the ceiling's leaking in the Lincoln bedroom. Wrap up that stupid debate and get home."

I used to love conspiracies. I once spent 6 hours at Dealy Plaza in Dallas performing my own forensic investigation into the Kennedy assassination. I'm one of those wackos who believes we never really went to the moon. I think Bigfoot is real, and that he is actually escaped hijacker D.B. Cooper in a furry ape costume.

But the political attacks since 2008 are wearing me out. Am I supposed to believe that Obama is a Muslim from Kenya with a phony birth certificate who is married to a gay Pakistani, (the worst kind) and killed his grandmother. and fakes the jobs numbers. and sniffs cocaine while he's cheating and lying? If that is true, we sure do a crappy job of electing presidents.

On the other side, we have Mitt Romney. I don't hear as many bad things about him. I found one website that says he's a Mexican citizen, but that's probably okay. Lots of Americans are from Mexico, but hardly any are from Kenya, unless they can run fast and win marathons. 

Contrary to rumors, Romney did not Google on his iPhone during the debates.

Some folks are upset that Romney still hasn't released all his income tax returns. Well, hey, I can understand that. If he keeps house like we do, he hasn't a clue where those silly old tax returns are. So really, he's just a normal guy that happens to make millions of dollars a year. That liberal press isn't going to get anything on him, especially if he won't talk to them. C'mon, cut him some slack. He's been wanting to be president ever since his dad was eliminated from the 1968 Primary race and his mom was defeated  in 1970 in her bid for the senate. Surely it's time for a Romney to win an election! So what if it's the presidency? Do you expect him to settle for dog-catcher?

Here's the deal. We should vote for the guy who will make Talk-Radio hosts Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity happy. Otherwise we are in for four more years of mud raking, bitter, hateful and non-verifiable accusations. Lower your blood pressure! Vote for the guy who'll send the obnoxious talk-show pundits into early retirement. It will be so worth it.
