    (Reuters) - Sheryl Harris, a voluble
    52-year-old with a Virginia drawl, voted twice for George W.
    Bush. Raised Baptist, she is convinced -- despite all evidence
    to the contrary -- that President Barack Obama, a practicing
    Christian, is Muslim.

    So in this year's presidential election, will she support
    Mitt Romney? Not a chance.

    "Romney's going to help the upper class," said Harris, who
    earns $28,000 a year as activities director of a Lynchburg
    senior center. "He doesn't know everyday people, except maybe
    the person who cleans his house."

    She'll vote for Obama, she said: "At least he wasn't brought
    up filthy rich."

    Honestly I find this hard to believe. I think most will indeed vote for Mitt when it comes time and I dont think it will be enough. But they do make some interesting points later in the article.

    They ought to be troubled by racism and deception (Romney and Ryan both) injected into politics as well. :(

    I don't think that is necessarily so.

    Remember this line:

    People are getting to KNOW what Romney and Ryan are going do to Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.

    Middle-Aged and Senior Citizens are going to consider those programs VERY heavily in the days to come.
