Post Election Questions

Why do we say that the party that lost the Presidential election is "imploding" or "fractured"? The GOP still won 48% of the popular vote. That's a significant number and hardly implies an implosion.

Who stole John McCain's soul? Do you think he's regretting letting Karl Rove and Satan run his campaign? Where is the centrist, pro-choice, populist politician he used to be? Now THAT man could have given the Democrats a run for their money. THAT man might have beaten us.

When will the rank and file Republicans take back their party? Can they?

I worry for the personal safety and health of Barack Obama and his family. Anyone else? Right wing nut jobs are far more likely to take an actual shot. Can we trust the Secret Service to do their job? There have already been significant death threats - are they up to the task?

Sarah Palin - flash-in-the-pan with delusions of power or future GOP candidate? Great article here.

Will the Supreme Court ultimately uphold the constitutional rights of gays to legally marry?

How can America vote in W in 2004, then go all Democrat on us in 2008? I love it but it begs the question.

Did the GOP rig the 2000 and 2004 elections? Why didn't they this time?

Poor John McCain

John McCain Accidentally Left On Campaign Bus Overnight

I'm going mad here

I'm completely on tenterhooks here and I'm sure I'm not alone. I'm so damn excited about President Barack Obama that I'm about to wet my pants. Also feeling nervous pain that the neocons will steal this election somehow - we all know they've done it before and they can do it again. God Help Us if they do.
But again, I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas - I just want tomorrow to GET.HERE.NOW!! Must stay positive. Must flood the cosmos with good vibes for a big turnout and Democratic victory.
I was thinking today that we're going to see the opposite of the Bradley Effect, and it's going to be called The Obama Effect from now on. I see plenty of white folks publically saying they can't support Obama, but voting for the man behind that curtain. They know an asshat when they see one, and the McCain/Palin ticket is two asshats for the price of one.

Another Happy Halloween greeting

Thieves with odd objectives

Some stinkin' thieves stole my Obama yard sign! Or perhaps it was a desperate Obama supporter who wanted one of their own. The weird thing is they left the Al Franken sign. Explain that one. One explanation is Republicans are petty thieves who hate freedom of speech.

wow wow wow wow

As I clean, I'm listening to Barack Obama speak in Florida on C-Span, and all I can say is WOW! and YES! and DAMN STRAIGHT!! This man MUST WIN on November 2nd. I've been working for his campaign, how about you? If you don't have time, write letters to the editor. You are a great writer as evidenced by your blog and the nation needs to hear from you!

For all those fools who think this is about race, look at your bank account. Look at the value of your home. Look at your 401k. Look at the price of your gas. Look at the flag-draped coffins coming home from Iraq. Look at the maimed and wrecked vets who can't get adequate physical or mental healthcare. Look at our current leaders' support of treasonous torture and wiretapping. Look at your civil rights running down the drain. Look at this mess and then tell me Barack Obama can't lead because he's black. Then go stick your head in the oven because we don't need your bigoted crap.

Open memo to Barack Obama

Dear President Obama,
You had me at "change".
Please stop finding places to agree with that crusty old man. He's dangerous and I don't want him anywhere near the nuclear codes or the Commander in Chief role. You've proven you can find the common ground to build relationships and I respect you for that. But you need to demonstrate that you are nothing like that angry hawk and will bring intelligence and reason back to our country.
