[Major Matt Mason]

I didn't read the entire post, but I read enough of it to know that your father is simply spouting the usual Leftist talking points without thought. Some of what he says simply makes no sense at all. His comments on Romney are pure boilerplate drivel straight from the Obama talking points. Very little of it is based in truth, but it is repeated ad nauseum by the Left until it becomes a "truth".

And therein lies our problem right now - we are dealing with people that simply cannot tell the truth if their life depended on it. But, their lies are effective and there is no counter from the Right. Frankly, I can't imagine being Boehner and the GOP trying to make a deal with Obama and his minions - they'll lie to your face and then go on TV and state just the opposite of what was said in private (not a new tactic for the Left, to be sure). And people like your father just buy into all of it without questioning what effect a dominant Democrat Party would have on their lives. But, they are going to find out, I'm afraid.

Exactly. And luckily it's my father in law, not by father. My father's a big Lib too, but a thinker, not a drone, and I can have good discussions with him. But yes, we have a major problem in that the Progressive-Democratic Party-MSM machine is fully capable of turning any lie into a "truth" believed in by enough people to carry an election. It's truly scary to contemplate.
