Six days up. Six days down. The GOP ticket didn’t take me up on last week’s challenge, so true to my word, my absentee ballot goes out in next week’s mail committed to re-electing President Obama and Vice-President Biden.
Rest assured, no matter my loyalty as a Democrat, my vote is with some level of reservation, but sometimes you need to stick with the Devil you know as opposed to the Devil you don’t. Perhaps after November 6th, the White House will start making amends with Americans, particularly Democratic supporters who have been frustrated with an administration that doesn’t fight back against antagonistic opposition.

RE: Auction of 2012 Presidential vote
HIGH PRIORITY FOLLOW-UP
Dear Congressman Ryan:
According to the calendar and my records, your six business days are up.
It is my pleasure to inform you that my absentee ballot will go out in Monday’s mail with a vote for the re-election of
President Obama and Vice-President Biden.
You and Governor Romney never had a chance.
For a couple of trust-fund guys who harp on job creation, you let the easiest opportunity slip through your fingers.
I’m just as educated, if not more educated than you.
I don’t require retraining.
I don’t require any further education.
I’m more effective than you at communicating my knowledge to others.
I don’t run away from my record of accomplishments.
I already know how to do my job as an educator a lot better than you do as a politician.
Hell, you couldn’t even take advantage of option B — buy a copy of Philosophy of “Packer” pedagogy for every registered voter in your district. 259,182 people voted in your district two years ago. I would’ve let you get away with buying books for only folks who voted. I would’ve even let you buy books for only the 179,819 folks who voted for you. At $25 per book, you would’ve invested a shade under $4.5-million to flip my absentee vote. That’s not bad, considering you spent $3.92-million on your 2010 campaign. National office has higher stakes. You and the Governor could’ve gone halfsies if you were tight for cash. I’m sure Governor Romney has $1.96-million in spare change hiding between the sofa cushions in one of his homes!
You know how piddly $4.5-million is for a rich boy like you? One percent of the federal support to PBS scheduled for 2015! Chump change! For the equivalent of one feather off Big Bird’s tail, you could’ve acquired one vote from one of America’s most loyal Democrats. It would’ve been priceless for your election campaign... And you blew it. I frankly can’t understand how you’re a fiscal wonk... But I certainly see how you’re a wank (that’s what our friends north in Canada would call you, right?).
Do you have any idea how easy it would’ve been to create a space for me at the University of Wisconsin, move me to Madison, and provide me a handicapped-accessible environment, and do nothing further while counting on my income taxes? It would’ve been — hands-down -- your easiest re-employment of the 12-million jobs you and the Governor think you’re going to create if elected.
Think about it... If you couldn’t figure out in six days how to put a chemistry and physics professor back to work in your own backyard, even if I do use a wheelchair, how the hell do you two pinheads expect to put 12-million Americans back to work, many who are far less educated and ready to seamlessly resume an occupation compared to me?
You don’t have an answer, Congressman, do you? That’s obvious from your debate performance last night.
You’re in way over your head on this campaign.
You’re very uninformed on domestic and foreign matters.
You’re incapable of expanding thought beyond sound bites.
You’re incapable of telling the truth.
You’re mathematically illiterate.
You don’t get it, and you’re fooling nobody.
Your inability to honestly and intelligibly explain our nation’s fiscal structure leaves me no other conclusion than you somehow never passed high school algebra, because even the least mathematically-savvy teenager knows that the left and right-hand sides of the equal sign must balance out for validation. You, sir, don’t know your left from your right, and it’s uncertain whether you can even distinguish your elbow from your ass. If you can’t explain your own numbers during interviews and debates, then the American voters shouldn’t trust them, nor should they trust you or Governor Romney.
You and Governor Romney are proof that mating the ideologies of John Birch and Grover Norquist is very bad genetics. Americans don’t need sociological mutants in the White House. Americans need leaders who actually comprehend what average human beings are going through, leaders who comprehend sweat, blood, tears, pain and flesh. If Americans want quasi-logical androids, we can watch re-runs of Star Trek. If Americans want sterility, we can buy Lysol. If Americans want clowns, we can visit the circus. If Americans want a mystery, we’ll read Sherlock Holmes, not hold our breath waiting for the other shoe to drop on your campaign promises.
I’d rather have a second term of the Obama-Biden administration. At least they try to articulate the truth and not play voters for fools.
