The stage is set for President Obama and former Governor Romney to lip sync   
   for their electoral lives this week in the 2012 General Election. Even though   
   former Governor Romney may be very hostile to LGBT Americans there are good   
   omens why perhaps President Obama needs to leave the stage of the presidency.   
      
   For the next two years we will have a Democratic Party US Senate so whatever   
   Romney wants, Romney will not get. If you like the obstructionism the   
   Republicans gave to President Obama, expect more obstructionism by the   
   Democrats. Perhaps Harry Reid will tell Romney, you want some of those tax   
   cuts, perhaps the servers and waiters deserve their tipped minimum wage   
   increase to $4.00 an hour instead of the measly $2.65, and you want some of   
   that war in Iran? Perhaps we can offer employment nondiscrimination for LGBT   
   Americans in exchange for that President Romney.   
      
   Mitt Romney may change his image more than David Bowie and reinvent himself   
   more than Madonna, but its hard for most Americans to know what political team   
   he plays for which makes it hard for liberals and conservatives to trust him.   
   Romney once invested in a firm that dealt with medical waste that processed   
   the aborted unborn, and once endorsed Planned Parenthood when he ran for US   
   Senate, but now he flipped 180 supporting candidates that believe that if you   
   get raped you MUST carry that child to term.   
      
   I may not be a fan of either major political partys nominees in 2012, but   
   perhaps we will get change when the Democratic Party stops sending lip service   
   to marijuana activists or even peace activists where even Cindy Sheehan   
   questioned the lack of people protesting against war since Obama has been   
   elected for his first term. Its ironic that President Obama won the Nobel   
   Peace prize for a presidency that barely got off the ground, and then executed   
   more warfare like his predecessor. Or the empty promises President Obama and   
   his attorney general Eric Holder made to medical marijuana activists stating   
   that he would hold off on the raids, but instead decided to out drug warrior   
   George W Bush.   
      
   Perhaps for progressives maybe the best thing to do is not vote for Obama, in   
   safe states obviously. If you live in Utah or Alabama feel free to vote for   
   Jill or Rocky or even Roseanne. We should have candidates to stand on   
   principle in future elections so we can support candidates that we can truly   
   believe in. Why vote for a candidate that you will regret voting for?   
      
   Unfortunately this is not United States Election All Stars where both Obama   
   and Romney can both sashay away like a losing statist team that they are, but   
   maybe we will find the real change that we can believe in someday.
