Romney dug his grave tonight with American women when he strolled out with all of his arrogance and entitled expectation of servitude. Romney answered the serious question posed by a young American regarding equality and justice with a glib dismissal, insinuating that her only real value resided in her ability to have dinner on the table when her Republican husband eventually returned home from his superior occupation.
In Mitt Romney's world, women are disposable. Women are servants to be used and discarded. Women are not eligible to enter the spheres of politics, business, or heaven forbid the afterlife without the express permission of the Taliban-like structure of the current Republican Party.
It's not just women, either. Modern men who care about justice and decency are equally targeted by this extremist Republican ideology. Men welcome and love their children. Men build gardens and wood-fired hearths and sourdough breads and share wholeheartedly in this beautiful life that the Mitt Romneys of the world degrade and despise because it does not register on the balance sheets of the 1%.
This election is critical. I want a world that appreciates all of the diversity and beauty of America. I am first-generation American. I have all-access passes ranging from US Presidents to REM, the Rolling Stones, and the grow-local-feed-the-hungry-movement.
A Romney presidency would undo everything we have spent our lives working towards. Think of anything that means the world to you. OK. Romney would kill that.
Vote. Vote for Democrats. We are the change we wish to see in the world. Peace.
