Why Do So Many Liberals "Like" Mitt Romney On Facebook?
pigrabbitbear writes "Mother Jones reports that, 'In recent weeks, a host of liberal types have complained that their Facebook accounts have erroneously "liked" Romney's page, and some are floating the theory that the Romney campaign has deployed a virus or used other nefarious means to inflate the candidate's online stature. This conspiratorial notion has spawned a Facebook community forum, and its own page: "Hacked By Mitt Romney" (cute url: facebook.com/MittYouDidntBuildThat)' So what's going on? Is the Romney campaign engaging in some tech wizardry to hijack Americans' Facebook pages? Seems unlikely, but Romney did somehow manage to acquire millions of fake Twitter followers. But it looks like the Romney campaign isn't behind this one — Facebook and its mobile app is."
You didn't get the joke, did you?
I'm reg, as independent too.
And, while I largely agree with you....realistically, I realize that I only have 2 choices facing me....one is a given, the other is not.
I'll pick the unknown of the two as my 'soap dish'...since I KNOW how bad the incumbent choice is....had 4x years to see that.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
This is an important point to make. There's basically three albatrosses in our federal budget: SS, Medicare/Medicaid, and military. That's where the vast majority of spending goes. SS and Medicare/Medicaid are separate line items that are (very close to) self funded, at least right now. In the future we'll have problems, but that's for another point. That leaves the federal income tax and military spending. Wealthy people, who pay for the majority of income taxes, basically are footing the bill for the military. If they don't want to be taxed so much they should definitely be voting for pacifist governments.
