31. I'm not 'hiding' anywhere and I am hardly 'patriotic'. And I don't believe in fairy tales.

America has massive problems that need to be fixed. I'm not sure if we're capable of fixing them the way the current system is set up.

But that does not mean there is a Dr. Doom behind it all, manipulating us like chess pieces. On a smaller scale, yes, I have no doubt that occurs. But Romney is emblematic of the public's growing disenchantment with the GOP.

I wish that disenchantment would happen faster. We should not be having this kind of conversation at all. Liberals should be able to rise above the bullshit that gets deployed against them.

But I think the tide is turning. Not fast enough, but it's turning.
