Today we learn the intelligence of our country (#2104)

There is a choice to be made today. Whether the Republican vision of austerity for the less wealthy and survival of the fittest will be our future or the Democrat vision of returning the middle class back to a higher wealth level through stimulus and making the wealthy pay their fair share. It would seem to be an easy decision based upon the fact that a vast majority of our citizenry are either at or just above or below middle class status. One would think that we would vote for what is best for the majority of us and our children. yet it also seems that the case may be that a majority of us are willing to either ignore our right to vote and let things happen and the rest of us will vote for the Republican vision of making life harder on ourselves while making life even easier on the super wealthy. This is why I mentioned that this election today is about our national intelligence. The facts have been  there for all to see who would want to be an objective observer. No one is being forced to vote for anyone or any party in particular. This election for the most part is open for all of us citizens to vote, although, some are being denied the right to vote by the very Republican party that wants to harm the middle class more than to help it. Yet again here I state, we may be ready to vote to harm ourselves over helping ourselves. It is an embarrassment that logic and common sense are being relegated to a less than, in order to favor some emotionally biased rhetoric. Hatred seems to be our American experience at this moment and for that to prevail today is a stain on our society no amount of lies or ignorance will ever be able to hide. I love my country for it's democratic values and it's clarion call for equality of opportunity, justice, fairness and respect and dignity for all of it's citizens. What happens today will either shake my foundation about that or reinforce it. However it turns out I will continue to fight for what we should be proud to exemplify and against all who would dishonor our special compact.
