The Death of Common Sense obituary along with the majority ignoring a few simple tools like Occum’s Razor (the simplest explanation is usually the correct one) and Show Me the Money (ie follow the money trial to uncover the reasons) are at the heart of most of our problems.
Like you, I hope fervently that at least Common Sense experiences a resurrection between now and Election Day.
You are absolutely CERTAIN that Obama could do all kinds of horrible things. I got news for you. Four years ago, a lot of folks like you were AS CERTAIN that we'd not have 2010 midterms, and AS CERTAIN that if Clinton won a second term it would be the end of America.
I know people are rationlizing their vote for bad, disgusting Romney as their "only choice" and that it is the only way they can vote "against" Obama. Both rationales are wholly false, and furthermore, those rationalizing their reluctant vote for Romney are entirely ignoring 50 percent of the equation of voting to show their support for installing a full-blown big nanny government statist to assume the most powerful position in the Republican party. FRiend, that is PLUMB NUTS, zero "common sense" is involved.
The death of common sense is actually signified by the fact that such folks are ONLY seeing the half signifying what they're voting against, and ignoring the other half, which is that as much as their vote is against Obama, it is FOR Romney, who has a demonstrated, documented RECORD of being an agent of advancing ALL of the big government statist immoral issues I and many of us have been voting Republican all these years to OPPOSE.
Talk about the death of common sense!
