In response to:
Dear Tuttle:
Please visit a grammar and punctuation book: "Amerrican's remain that strange breed of cat that loves winners and turns their back on losers."
You meant: Americans (plural, not singular possessive; one "r" not two) remain that strange breed of cats (plural like the subject, Americans) that love (plural) winners and turn (plural) their backs (plural) on losers.
We've got a great language. Use it to benefit your expression of your feelings, not distract from it.

I want to give you an updated list of reasons I believe that Mitt Romney will win the election Tuesday. So much information, so much confusion, so much uncertainty. But I don't think it's so complex as it seems.
In 2008, a perfect storm developed for Barack Obama: an economic crisis, which was effectively, though unfairly, blamed on Republicans; war fatigue, which had been stoked by six years of Democratic anti-Bush propaganda; a messianic illusion personified in Obama, who was promising incomprehensibly wonderful yet undefined change and utopian-level bipartisanship; and a Republican opponent who all but forfeited the election to Obama...
Please also note that hopey is not a word, Hussein should have been capitalized, there was a distinct lack of punctuation, and out-of-control should have been hyphenated. Now that you too have been corrected I hope you'll see how ridiculous you are. The only time I would (normally) correct someone's spelling and grammar is right after they told me how smart and educated they were while trying to win an argument. Tuttlecoma - please carry on.
It is well known that bloggers nomally accept the limitations of blog posts (effected with haste; cannot edit; it's the thoughts that count)...in fact, you cannot edit here on TH.
Also, as something of a grammarian and wordsmith myself, judge not lest ye be judged..."detract" would have been better for your would-be point than "distract"...see how easy it is to second guess?
tuttletocoma - keep posting buddy.
