Why I Can’t Support Romney or Democrat Congressional Reps
Not too long ago, I wrote a post about my dystopia-like feeling of the next election and hinting that I had no idea who or what I would support but it is becoming clear now. For starters, I couldn’t support McCain in the GOP in 2008 because Bush turned out to be a miserable failure […]

I Am Dumfounded About This Election
I simply can’t decide who to vote for this year for president.
