Hello, my name is.....

You've all received those emails, haven't you? Some idiot from some foreign nation, begging you, personally, for help and with just a minor "test transaction", you can gain MILLIONS of dollars.....

So, just how stupid would you need to be to fall for that scam?

Well folks, based on the polls, if the criminals running these internet scams REALLY want to hit it big, they'll change their greeting to, "Hello friend, my name is Mitt Romney...".

What is painfully evident is that "Independents" have learned NOTHING from the '08 election. Oh sure....they're regretting ever having voted for Obama and, certainly, they're on the "Obama is an idiot" bandwagon now, but voters seem determined to do precisely NOTHING to ensure that our next President will be any better.

Voters REFUSE to research these candidates and it's NOT because the information isn't out there. They were too lazy and star-struck in '08, despite the wealth of information which should have been MORE than sufficient to bury Obama. And, evidently, they are firmly committed to "lazy" now...

FOLKS: Check out www.votesmart.org and www.cagw.org. These two sites (BOTH non-partisan), track all elected officials, by vote. There's no opinion, it's just a vote tally.

By doing some research, it's easy to tell if a candidate is all he or she claims. If, after ACTUALLY doing the research, you conclude that losers like Romney are all they claim to be, then I have this bridge I'd like to sell you....

PLEASE.......speaking for my own little family.......VOTE WISELY. I can't afford your complacency.

Hirota: out.
