Stormy politics
Sandy reinforces the fact that, until Nov. 7 rolls around and a president is chosen, the actions of Romney and Obama are viewed through an all-important political prism.

I invite you all to be better than our politicians and the talking heads in the media.
The presidential debates are now finished, but the candidates are still in a dead heat.
We’re tricked into wasting 30 minutes on the same repetition of jokes used since the first season of “Married with Children,” and we are still being made fools of today.
Few can recall much about McGovern, but the respected statesman, liberal standard bearer and candidate of “amnesty, abortion and acid” — as conservative muckrakers unkindly painted him — is just as relevant now as he was during the protests of the late 1960s.
It’s gotten to the point in which a personal life no longer exists if your name is even slightly recognizable.
Thursday provides both a difficult challenge and a great opportunity for both campaigns. Ryan will have to overcome his lack of debate experience to build on the momentum Romney’s performance began last week, while Biden will have to fight to pin down specifics on several discrepancies in Romney’s plans without making any embarrassing gaffes.
A new trend is popping up in Georgia. Low-income children struggling in elementary school? Give them drugs.
The nation is in a deficit and we need to save as much money as possible, but cutting a program that doesn’t even register as a percentage point is too much, especially when that funding is so vital.
I’m so scared of Romney that I’ll be voting for Obama.
Brown himself said conversion therapy belongs “to the dustbin of quackery,” and I hope any decent mind can agree with this.
If Romney is able to lay out a more specific message on immigration, he might be able to attract more Latino voters tired of and disappointed by Obama’s inaction on issues of immigration.
I call myself a humanist. This philosophy occurred to me the other week wile I was watching a new film called “Bachelorette,” written and directed by Leslye Headland.
Instead of chastising the victim, we need to focus on who committed the real wrong. Rewriting part of the American identity and ripping off this psychological blanket may be hard, but it is necessary to affect the right kind of change.
Rather than focusing on criticizing Obama’s plan, the GOP campaign needs to elaborate on the positives of its approach. They need to find a way to bring older voters back into the Republican fold if they want a chance of winning. And the GOP knows this is a bigger issue than Romney’s win in November.
The government can be good in small doses (and is, at times, essential). But serving the people giant portions of it denies them the option of using their God-given talent and drive to achieve something.
Shady reputations, socially-cultivated stigmas and disputable scheduling regulations should not hinder scientists from researching any substance that could save, extend and improve human life.
These aren’t characters on a screen. They’re real people who suffer real consequences.
The answer isn’t just to cut these people off. The answer is to change their minds about the right path to prosperity.
The damage that the Romney campaign is taking right now may be a normal September swoon.
