The past several weeks have made one thing crystal-clear: Our country faces unmitigated disaster if the Other Side wins.

No reasonably intelligent person can deny this. All you have to do is look at the way the Other Side has been running its campaign. Instead of focusing on the big issues that are important to the American People, it has fired a relentlessly negative barrage of distortions, misrepresentations, and flat-out lies.

Just look at the Other Side’s latest commercial, which take a perfectly reasonable statement by the candidate for My Side completely out of context to make it seem as if he is saying something nefarious. This just shows you how desperate the Other Side is and how willing it is to mislead the American People.

The Other Side also has been hammering away at My Side to release certain documents that have nothing to do with anything, and making all sorts of outrageous accusations about what might be in them. Meanwhile, the Other Side has stonewalled perfectly reasonable requests to release its own documents that would expose some very embarrassing details if anybody ever found out what was in them. This just shows you what a bunch of hypocrites they are.

Naturally, the media won’t report any of this. Major newspapers and cable networks jump all over anything they think will make My Side look bad. Yet they completely ignore critically important and incredibly relevant information that would be devastating to the Other Side if it could ever be verified.

I will admit the candidates for My Side do make occasional blunders. These usually happen at the end of exhausting 19-hour days and are perfectly understandable. Our leaders are only human, after all. Nevertheless, the Other Side inevitably makes a big fat deal out of these trivial gaffes, while completely ignoring its own candidates’ incredibly thoughtless and stupid remarks – remarks that reveal the Other Side’s true nature, which is genuinely frightening.

My Side has produced a visionary program that will get the economy moving, put the American People back to work, strengthen national security, return fiscal integrity to Washington, and restore our standing in the international community. What does the Other Side have to offer? Nothing but the same old disproven, discredited policies that got us into our current mess in the first place.

Don’t take my word for it, though. I recently read about an analysis by an independent, nonpartisan organization that supports My Side. It proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that everything I have been saying about the Other Side was true all along. Of course, the Other Side refuses to acknowledge any of this. It is too busy cranking out so-called studies by so-called experts who are actually nothing but partisan hacks. This just shows you that the Other Side lives in its own little echo chamber and refuses to listen to anyone who has not already drunk its Kool-Aid.

Let’s face it: The Other Side is held hostage by a radical, failed ideology. I have been doing some research on the Internet, and I have learned this ideology was developed by a very obscure but nonetheless profoundly influential writer with a strange-sounding name who enjoyed brief celebrity several decades ago. If you look carefully, you can trace nearly all the Other Side’s policies for the past half-century back to the writings of this one person.

To be sure, the Other Side also has been influenced by its powerful supporters. These include a reclusive billionaire who has funded a number of organizations far outside the political mainstream; several politicians who have said outrageous things over the years; and an alarmingly large number of completely clueless ordinary Americans who are being used as tools and don’t even know it.

These people are really pathetic, too. The other day I saw a YouTube video in which My Side sent an investigator and a cameraman to a rally being held by the Other Side, where the investigator proceeded to ask some real zingers. It was hilarious! First off, the people at the rally wore T-shirts with all kinds of lame messages that they actually thought were really clever. Plus, many of the people who were interviewed were overweight, sweaty, flushed, and generally not very attractive. But what was really funny was how stupid they were. There is no way anyone could watch that video and not come away convinced the people on My Side are smarter, and that My Side is therefore right about everything.

Besides, it’s clear that the people on the Other Side are driven by mindless anger – unlike My Side, which is filled with passionate idealism and righteous indignation. That indignation, I hasten to add, is entirely justified. I have read several articles in publications that support My Side that expose what a truly dangerous group the Other Side is, and how thoroughly committed it is to imposing its radical, failed agenda on the rest of us.

That is why I believe 2012 is, without a doubt, the defining election of our lifetime. The difference between My Side and the Other Side could not be greater. That is why it absolutely must win on November 6.

Well put. I try to be fair (and on the rare occasion succeed). I criticize Republicans and conservatives when they spout shit I think is wrong and when a Democrat is in the right I try to point out my agreement but I see too many who just tow the party line no matter how idiotic it is. For example, the number of conservatives and Republicans calling in to defend Akin is amazing. The guy said something factually incorrect, and quite stupidly so and yet they think we should all stand behind him (well F&*$ that!).

Actually that's debatable. Although Akin's words were tactless, there was a modicum of truth to what he said. There is evidence that a woman's body does have the mechanisms to resist insemination when she is forcibly raped. It's a natural part of her fight-or-flight response. It isn't foolproof, obviously, because rape victims can and do get pregnant, but the odds of getting pregnant through rape are probably lower than those of getting pregnant through consentual sex.

That said, however, it seems really convenient for the Religious Right to use science whenever it suits their needs, yet completely ignore all the facts and evidence when it comes to Global Warming, Evolution, and the Big Bang Theory.

Would you point me toward the medical study please?

As does the Environmentalist Left when it suits theirs...

I stand corrected. I was thinking of Freeze response, not Fight-or-Flight. In any case, I don't remember where I heard about it, and Googling about it now only takes me to rape/PTSD counceling websites or to articles about Todd Akins or Bryan Fischer stating that their claims are not backed up by science, contrary to what I had thought. None of the literature I found mention anything about Freeze response reducing the chances of pregnancy.

And when have the Environmentalist Left ignored scientists?

Global temperatures did not climb for a decade and yet we still were told Global Warming was happening. They also ignore the effects of solar activity on global temperatures (look at how active the sun's been since last fall). We also have thousands of e-mails showing how scientists at Climatic Research Unit manipulated data and refuse to see the environmental impact caused by 'green' technology (Nickle mines in Canada, Ethanol) while refusing to allow safer and cleaner nuclear power.
