"Pitting Americans against Americans" my ass. Give me a break.

How is this any different from every other election? Hell every election pits Americans against Americans. Specifically tactics used to win votes? FDR in 1940 practically called out his domestic Isolationist opponents as unwitting (or closet-case) Nazi supporters. Reagan ran against not just liberals, but their system, Dubya and the GOP ran state referendum efforts against gay people before the '04 elections. Yeah LBJ signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 pitted Americans against each other!

Besides, I thought we all agreed the Buffet Rule was a smoke screen? I always thought, still do in fact, that it was simply a tactic to play up Mittens' inherent Gordon Gecko-ness.

Calm down. You're not a socialist or Joe Stalin's cousin for thinking that Rule is cute.

Personally I'm voting against another Iraq/Afghanistan that we'll get next year if Gordon Gecko wins. At least with my vote, there's a chance that it might not happen.

Or might still even this summer get if the latest rumors are accurate.
