The GOP has this survey for young voters...
So I decided to have a little fun:
Q12: What do you think about the Republican Party?
“I think most republicans think that a fetus is worth more than me. I think most republicans want to deny my mothers the right to marry. I think most republicans are xenophobic. I think most republicans are racist. I think most republicans are bigots.”
Q13: The Republican Party was founded on three core principles: Limited Government, Individual Responsibility and Low Taxes. Which of the following is true?
“Other: The GOP believes in a government so small it fits in every uterus and bedroom in America.”
Q16: Why do you vote (or not vote).
“Because it’s the best way to ensure my life doesn’t turn into The Handmaid’s Tale.”
Q20: What would a Republican have to do or say in order for you to vote for her/him?
“Have a voting record and issues stance that didn’t suggest he/she was running in 1955.”
Q50: Is there anything else that you would like to say? (Optional)
“I hope your party goes the way of the Whig Party.”
And a bonus:
I’ve always wanted to vote for “African America.”

You can’t make this shit up.
My local (and usually conservative) NH paper endorses Barack Obama for reelection in a piece entitled: "Save America"
We see the race for president between a candidate who is willing to do and say anything to become president, and a president who has done about as good as anyone could have done in the worst economic mess since the Great Depression, and has the right ideas on the most important issues of our time.
We heartily and without reservation endorse President Barack Obama.
For other races, the Sun’s endorsements are split. At the federal level we endorse Democrats; for statewide offices, Republicans; and for county candidates and local reps, both.
We support Obama and Carol Shea-Porter’s bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta, and agree with them that Republicans are on the wrong side history on the major issues: health care, Medicare reform, taxes, immigration, foreign policy, the environment, same-sex marriage and abortion rights.
As for the economy, yesterday’s job report confirms it continues to improve, and all signs, including recent improvements in housing and car sales, point to that trend continuning next year regardless of who lives in the White House.
The Sun’s political orientation is most closely aligned with old-style moderate Republicans; and like many moderates, we believe the party has been hijacked by social conservatives and Tea Party extremism.
An example is that many Republicans, including our own Rep. Guinta, signed Grover Norquist’s pledge to never — ever — support a tax increase. What good is Guinta to New Hampshire if is he bound by a ridiculous pledge that prevents him from voting for smart, compromise legislation? Like a deficit cutting package that includes $1 of tax increases for every $10 in spending cuts, a sensible fiscal approach Republicans have no choice but to reject.
Progressive Democrats — at least on the national level — have taken over the middle of the political spectrum and we’ll gladly join them until the Republicans come back to earth.…
A popular Republican placard reads “Save America.” A suggestion for Democrats to retort: “Save America from the most shameless and pandering presidential candidate in history.”
This is WAY out of the ordinary - the Conway Daily Sun is opening themselves up for a LOAD of right wing crazy from a town that has been shunning unions since before it was cool.

MITT ROMNEY MOCKUMENTARY
———-
If you haven’t been keeping track of this year’s presidential election, then it’s hard to know exactly who Mitt Romney really is.
And if you have been keeping track—it’s even harder. The Man from Bloomfield Hills is a hilarious inside look at the life of Mitt Romney, narrated by the people closest to him.
Rock the Vote #WeWill
You know what’s important? Voting.
You know who appears in a PSA telling you to vote? Nearly every celebrity I can think of.
In the “We Will” commercial for Rock the Vote, celebs such as Darren Criss, Neil Patrick Harris, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet, Jane Lynch, Kathy Griffin and Miley Cyrus (with her new hairdo!) come together to write on a whiteboard and also break into some choreographed dance formations…all in the name of making your voice heard!

Ann Romney: "No More Tax Returns Will Be Released"
reagan-was-a-horrible-president:
In an interview with NBC set to air Thursday, Ann Romney, wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, said her husband’s campaign will not release any additional tax returns to the public ahead of the election.
“We have been very transparent to what’s legally required of us,” Romney told reporter Natalie Morales, according to excerpts from NBC News. “There’s going to be no more tax releases given.”
Defying a longstanding trend among presidential candidates, the Romney campaign has only released a single — and likely incomplete — tax return. Politicians and pundits from both sides of the aisle have been pressuring Romney for weeks to disclose more of his tax history, culminating with a claim from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) two weeks ago that he’d heard from an early investor in Bain Capital that Romney didn’t pay any taxes for a decade. Romney has denied that claim.
Ann Romney said that releasing more details on the family’s taxes would merely give the Obama campaign “more ammunition.” The Romneys’ wealth is rumored to be as much as $250 million, and since much of Mitt Romney’s earnings come from investments, he would pay a lower effective tax rate than many lesser-off Americans.

Sounds like the truth might actually be worse than the rumors, when it comes to Mitt Romney’s tax returns.
