Women’s Power

They say behind every successful man, there stands a woman. I say behind a successful politician there stand many women. Obama’s victory is the proof. Women’s vote helped the president gets re-elected. Among women voters, Obama outnumbered Romney 55 percent to 43 points.

One of Romney’s failures in the campaign was his lack of concern and respect for women. He referred to them as a binder full of women. From abortion to contraception to healthcare, Romney imposed too much politics into their rights. His Republican party includes Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock and running mate Paul Ryan has very extreme opposition on abortion didn’t help either. In revenge, the women has showed these guys that they have no fucking business in their private sector.

Big up to women in power: Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Baldwin, Claire McCaskill and Mazie Hirono.

If Romney Wins

I believe Obama will win today. Giving a benefit of a doubt, however, America will face a new low in political system if Romney wins. The truth in politic will no longer matter since a candidate can say whatever the fuck he wants to get votes. The Romney campaign declared early on that “We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers.” Romney has done so in so many issues that still on this day most Americans don’t know where he stands. He made up so many lies about his opponent and faced no consequences. If Romney wins, how would I tell my kids not to lie? President Romney lied and it worked. In fact, he would be reward for lying if he wins. If your children want to be a politician when they grow up, all they have to do now is start lying. Please please please, don’t let this happen. Go vote.

Forward vs. Backward

Paul Krugman:

If President Obama is re-elected, health care coverage will expand dramatically, taxes on the wealthy will go up and Wall Street will face tougher regulation. If Mitt Romney wins instead, health coverage will shrink substantially, taxes on the wealthy will fall to levels not seen in 80 years and financial regulation will be rolled back.

Bedtime Story

Dao: Daddy, can you tell me a story?
Dad: Once upon a time, there’s a boy named Dao and he loves train. He plays with nothing else but train all day. At school, his teachers have to put all the trains away so that he could do other activities. They gave him a book to read and he imagined the book as his train. He drove the book around like it was a train. His teacher told him, “A book is for reading, not for playing.” He threw a tandrum at his teacher. Why did he do that?
Dao: Because he’s not nice.
Dad: Exactly.
Dao: Can you tell me another story?
Dad: Once upon a time, there’s a boy named Dao and he loves candy. On Halloween night, he dressed up as a dragon and he tried to fly.
Dao: But that’s impossible.
Dad: That’s right. So he hopped into his train with his little brother Dan and they went around the mall treat-or-treating. They came up to the people and what did they say?
Dao: Happy Halloween!
Dad: That’s right. Then they gave them lots of candy. They even met an alien.
Dao: No, a pirate.
Dad: Oh yeah, a pirate and they stopped by the water fountain that has lots of…
Dao: Clouds.
Dad: Yes, and they had lots of fun and candy. The end!
Dao: Daddy, can you tell me the candy story again?
They repeated the story for five times before the daddy passed out. Not sure when Dao went to sleep.

Bloomberg Endorses Obama

Michael Bloomberg:

When I step into the voting booth, I think about the world I want to leave my two daughters, and the values that are required to guide us there. The two parties’ nominees for president offer different visions of where they want to lead America.

One believes a woman’s right to choose should be protected for future generations; one does not. That difference, given the likelihood of Supreme Court vacancies, weighs heavily on my decision.

One recognizes marriage equality as consistent with America’s march of freedom; one does not. I want our president to be on the right side of history.

One sees climate change as an urgent problem that threatens our planet; one does not. I want our president to place scientific evidence and risk management above electoral politics.

Romney Favors Abortion

The Borowitz Report:

Hitting the campaign trail one day after the arrival of Superstorm Sandy, Republican nominee Mitt Romney tweaked his position on abortion today, saying he now supports it in cases where it makes people vote for him.

“I would make an exception for abortion in cases where the life of my campaign is at stake,” he told a crowd in Kettering, Ohio.

Believe it or not, Romney’s campaign has been nothing but a big satire.

Economist Endorses Obama

Re-elect Obama:

Many of The Economist’s readers, especially those who run businesses in America, may well conclude that nothing could be worse than another four years of Mr Obama. We beg to differ. For all his businesslike intentions, Mr Romney has an economic plan that works only if you don’t believe most of what he says. That is not a convincing pitch for a chief executive.

Romney’s Lowest Politics

“Romney Versus the Automakers”:

Mr. Romney apparently plans to end his race as he began it: playing lowest-common-denominator politics, saying anything necessary to achieve power and blithely deceiving voters desperate for clarity and truth.

The Joy of Rape

This satirical letter is provocative, but gets the point across:

Every time you say “I oppose a woman’s right to abortion, even in cases of rape,” what you’re also saying is “I believe that a man who rapes a woman has more of a right to control a woman’s body and life than that woman does.”
