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 [2016] 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 [in 2016].

I keep hoping that before the 'APATHY' overtakes the AMERICANS and they just give up...that they use their free will and refuse to engage in that 2 party swell and become an INDEPENDENT PARTY VOTER!!!

ah, you get another flower...

Well...butter my butt and call me a biscuit; I've told you before that I'm a registered INDEPENDENT

did you? you don't seem like it...i could be wrong, that happened once before...

Watch out...you are about to wear your 'LABEL MAKER' out or run out of ribbon for it; good grief!

Do you always keep shoving people into those confined boxes/labeled the way that you need them to be? Worked diligently to get McGovern elected in 1972 {that hurt} worked on Ron Reagans campaign in 1981 and after his 2nd re-election I quit the republican party for good! But I did vote for GWB 1 time!

Not everything is so Black & White; you know this!

true... i never had anything good to say about GW as well, but right now, the dimocrats are in control, so they are the point of my focus...

i think at this point our only hope is to vote independent. democrats and republicans will only bring more of the same. spineless politicians taking hand outs from banks and corporations leaving average americans up $h1ts creek.

What is this independent party everyone is referring to?

I know its not the parties that run the republicans and democrats that can't get 1% of the vote...


So who is this saviour party...

yep, thats it... not like it matters about the public vote, the electoral votes are all that really matters...

All these small parties have been infiltrated by the two major parties.

The Libertarian Party is just pissed off Republicans that like smoking weed and don't like having to pay taxes on it.

The Green Party is just pissed off Democrats that want a statue of Lenin to replace the Washington Monument..

Who else is there?

green party seems like an offshoot of the dimocrats, like the tea party is an offshoot of the repubs...

you just gave obarry a raging boner by saying to replace the Washington monument with a statue of Lenin... he can't put a statue of mohammad up, so the next best thing...

And the media just loves them democrats.

that controlling factor makes love... GWB started that with the patriot act, and the LIC(liar in chief) never took it off the books...


there is no "investigative" news-reporters anymore, just tape recording parrots...

Its funny because when you look at it...

You have Putin who just hires a hitman to take care of his critics and Obama uses the Espionage Act...

Putin has a brass set, compared to obarry's raisin sack... the democratic way, hide in the shadows and then blame republicans...

It is tough being the smartest man in the world.. Knowing that everyone you look at is stupid compared to you..

He is the only candidate that actually campaigned in all 57 states for christ sake.. That takes incredible talent and brilliance..

yea, he figured out that central america wasn't part of the states after his campaigning was done....
