We saw Romney agitated and aggressive during the debates. No one actually likes him. Simply, he's the rich bully from every 80's teen movie.

Watch the video below.

I'm a worrywart, Debbie Downer, glass-half-empty sort of gal. My husband, in his typically sunny way, has been trying to calm me down about the election and telling me to just tune out if it's bothering me so much. But, I just can't. I tell myself I'll not get online during my lunch break. Tell myself not to listen to the latest Best of the Left podcast. Tell myself to ignore what's happening - but then I see the inevitable Romney sign or overhear some Tea Party types talking and I'm back to it, bringing more queasiness & disrupted sleep.

So, my husband is sick of it and is sensitive to what my kvetching does to our 6 year old. I live in wingnut land and know few progressives (and those I know aren't as obsessed as I am). My lovely grandmother is the only person who lets me indulge in the gloomy doom "what ifs" - I get the trait from her, after all. But it's only during our weekly phone calls because she lives far away and doesn't have internet access.

I finally got the call yesterday - out of the countless emailed resumes and the endless tedium of online applications, I finally got called! Yes, I was still available. Yes, an entry job of $11 an hour, no benefits, and no set schedule would work for me. I'd make it work. But I would need some testing first, before scheduling an interview.

Testing done this morning, I get a call this afternoon informing me that while I aced the actual skills tests at 100%, I made a 3.6 on the personality (scale of 5) and wouldn’t be considered. I’m qualified, college educated, and open to the crazy schedule – but they’re not going forward with the interview because of this ridiculous test. I’m flabbergasted. Is this a common thing now?

Having lived in Texas my entire life, I know a whole lot of conservatives. My facebook feed is like a Fox News ticker: creepy nationalism, fears of socialism and sharia, "pro-life" screeds and feeling oh so bad for those overtaxed Job Creators. Most everyone I know spends their Sundays hearing all about the Prosperity Gospel (though they may not call it that). They rant about how they do not bust their asses for individuals who just want to live on their hard earned tax money. "The free market will save us!" "Don't blame the banks, blame Big Government!" Grrr, regulations bad! Unions bad! Liberal media, oh no!

I've gotten into some online arguments a few times, it never goes well and we can never agree on anything - even facts. But the one thing that the Fox bots get is that there is too much money in our political system.

Not much of a diary, but I wanted to get support out for Sen. Mark Udall's proposal for the parties to sit together during the State of the Union address. If you have facebook or twitter accounts, please join me in spreading this message.

Here are the numbers to call:

John Boehner: (202) 225-0600
Nancy Pelosi: (202) 225-0100
Mitch McConnell: (202) 224-2541
Harry Reid: (202) 224-3542

I'm also asking that all members sit respectfully during the speech and save applause until the end. Enough of the partisan applauses & silences.

Please spread the word and help make this happen.

Hi, my first diary here. Not much of one, but just read a rightwing article that could use some attention.
