Another example: Your defense of Romney in the energy issue is downright ridiculous. Surely you're intelligent enough to know that the answer to America's (and most of the civilized world) energy problems isn't drilling the shit out whatever oil reserves happen to be left, without paying attention to renewable energy sources. "Energy independence", the buzzword everybody loves to throw around, doesn't mean continuing to irresponsibly exhaust the oil reserves within the control of the U.S. government and to hell with the next 10-20 years. If you disagree with that, then I consider you to be short-sighted, and never mind the argument... it's useless. Oil is a finite resource. Soon all we'll be doing is finding more ways to extract the very difficult-to-reach oil reserves, which by the way take millions of years to replenish. Not only that. You bash Obama for "denying drilling permits".... but conveniently choose to ignore the consequences of reckless drilling, such as the mega (and very costly) disaster BP created in the Gulf. Oh.... but you don't live there, do you.
Romney is just a "Bush", but with a private enterprise background. He'll champion the "balls to the wall", reckless drilling for oil... any environmental or energy supply consequences be damned. "Screw the big, long term picture. We need to squeeze the shit out whatever oil we can get our hands on. And if we have to go to war for overseas oil, we'll do that too. Green energy? Fuck that. It doesn't fill my own personal interest pocket."
But I don't want to bore you with this environmental "crap". Suffice it to say that you would defend Romney regardless of what he says, regardless of whether it makes sense or not. You hate Obama... and you want him out. No amount of common sense to the contrary will sway your laser-focused mind.
