Electoral Update And An Angry Right

The latest electoral map has a few changes, again with no toss-ups. Dark Red Romney has a lead above 5%, Pink Romney has a lead below 5%, Dark Blue Obama has a lead over 5%, Light Blue Obama has a lead below 5%.  The changes this post are Obama's lead in Michigan dropping below 5%, Arizona going above 5% for Romney, and Florida has gone from pink for Romney, to light blue for Obama.

The 270 mark remains the number to win. The updated map puts President Obama's lead a bit higher.

Barack Obama                    Mitt Romney

319                                       219

After a hard month for the President, Romney still can't seem to catch on and make any headway. If anything he has lost ground in the so called "battleground" states. His lack of specifics on ANYTHING has people scratching their head as to what exactly he stands for, except of course that he's not Barack Obama. His favorability rating remains low, and he continues to struggle in the states where it counts.

In the meantime, Republicans in general are seething at the recent Supreme Court ruling to uphold The Affordable Care Act of 2010. Cheif Justice Roberts in paricular has been singled out as a "traitor" and a "coward" from right wing nutjobs who thought they had Obamacare's demise in the bag. They have yet to outline details for replacement legislation, and even before the court's ruling, GOP officials said they had no plans to do so until after the election or perhaps 2013. Nor has Romney detailed what he would like to see included in a substitute law.

Here is a taste of what crazy sounds like after the ruling:

Sarah Palin: "Obama lied to the American people. Again. He said it wasn't a tax. Obama lies; freedom dies."
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY): “Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so. The whole thing remains unconstitutional,”
Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN): likened upholding of the Affordable Care Act to the events of 9/11.
Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA): With Obamacare ruling, I feel like I just lost two great friends, America and John Roberts.”
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH):  "Todays ruling by the Supreme Court underscores the urgency of a full repeal of Obamacare."
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus: "Today's Supreme Court decision sets the stakes for the November election. Now, the only way to save the country from ObamaCare's budget-busting government takeover of health care is to elect a new president."
Senator Orin Hatch (R-UT): "I will continue to fight this assualt on individual liberty and limited government."
Rep. Allen West (R-FL): "... Today, individual sovereignty in America has been defeated."

Listen to these nut jobs, Freedom is dead? The ruling is equal to 9/11? I've lost my friend America? Individual liberty and soveriegnty have been defeated? We must act now to save the country? Are you kidding me? You would think the Supreme Court ripped up the Constitution and then went outside and burned it. The only way to avoid this national disaster is to elect Republicans! Did I miss something? I thought the Mayans said the world blows up in Decemeber, not November? There is a giant asteroid called Obamacare hurtling toward the United States and the only way to stop it is to elect the guy who came up with the idea in the first place? REALLY?

Look at the quotes above, are these the people you want running the government? “Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so." Well yeah bumpkin it kinda does?! Next time the thought of voting Republican enters your mind, think of these quotes and ask yourself, "What am I on Crack!"
