Is Obama a Human Being?

According to about 24% of GOP voters, President Obama is not a human being. He is, instead, the Anti-Christ.

What GOP insanity calls to my mind is that we are one month away from an election that might put the Tea Party in control of Congress. Yet some on the Left are attacking the Democrats. They have reasons, and they have the right to tell us that it makes no difference if Gore or Bush/Cheney becomes President or if the Insane Party or the Democrats chair key committees in Congress.

Maybe because I grew in a working class family, I vote more pragmatically. I sort out the two or three candidates who have a chance to win, and then I vote for the one who will do the least harm. In 2000, for example, I saw that either Gore or Bush would be the next President. I asked myself which one was more apt to kill ordinary people in bunches? Which one will more strongly support Social Security?

American elections are about how much pain will be inflicted on real people, the poor, the middle class, the defenseless around the world. Make your choices.
