Why Are You Supporting McCain??

I am voting for John McCain for President because:

1) Obama is a socialist
2) Obama is Muslim
3) Obama is radical black militant
4) I like McCain because he opposed the Iraq War
4a) I like McCain because he became a cheerleader for the Iraq War
4b) I like McCain because he was a proponent for "The Surge" which
would calm violence in Iraq and give the Iraqi government space to
govern so US troops could leave
4c) I like McCain because he said "The Surge" worked when violence increased
4d) I like McCain because he said "The Surge" worked when violence decreased
4e) I like McCain because he said "The Surge" worked and now we can't leave Iraq
5) I like McCain because he stood against torture and sponsored a bill
forbidding torture
5a) I like McCain because he voted against his own bill
6) I like McCain because he stood up to his own party for sensible
immigration reform
6a)I like McCain because he opposed his previous position on immigration.
7) I liked it when McCain called the Bush tax cuts irresponsible given
the deficit
7a) I liked it when McCain proposed making the tax cuts permanent
because to roll them back would be irresponsible given the deficit.
8) I liked it when McCain pointed out that Obama was too inexperienced
to become president
8a) I liked it when McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate,
because she was a small town mayor less than two years ago.
9) McCain was a POW
10) I think it would have been cool if 40% of my retirement had been eaten up in the Wall Street collapse.
11) Joe The Plumber looks like "Teh Hot"

Opie 4 Obama

Really? Is that all?

I don't trust how well things are going for Obama. How could the GOP, who have been so successful in eking out electoral successes by appealing to such base fears and divisive ploys be failing so miserably with such a clunker of a candidate?

How could that guy with this quaint idea that we were really one great nation that had been led astray and just needed to proceed forward with the simple idea that we are the change that we were waiting for be on the brink of an LBJ level romp?

I don't trust it. I hope my cynicism is misplaced.

No One Could Have Anticipated.

People that wanted to vote for Al Gore couldn't, because a felon with a similar name tried to register to vote. They were scrubbed from being able to cast a vote. No one could have anticipated that. No one could have anticipated that elderly Jewish voters would vote for Pat Buchanan. George W. Bush was selected as President. This was a once in a lifetime anomaly in our otherwise proud democracy.

Then we heard these words from Condi Rice. "No one could have anticipated" some assholes flying airplanes into buildings. Except, as we found out later, it was anticipated, spelled out and put into a briefing memo that was ignored. This was a once in a lifetime event, but we had to quickly go to war against Iraq to ensure that we would not see mushroom clouds over our cities. We had to quickly approve a stunning roll back of personal rights called "The Patriot Act." We'll shock them. We'll awe them. They'll greet us as liberators. We were told that "No one could have anticipated" that citizens of a sovereign nation would object to our heaving ordinance into their cities, through their roofs and windows and would fight back when they started to see their countrymen die. The mission was accomplished.

Then, "No one could have anticipated," that the levies protecting New Orleans would fail. This was a once in a lifetime event. Except, yes, people did anticipate that one too. But those that warned us and urged us to invest in building stronger levies were diminished by the crowd that wanted to make government so small that you could drown it in a bathtub. Instead they drowned a city.

Now, our entire economy is in peril. These same fools that wanted to make government so small that you could drown it in a bathtub want to make you think that they had nothing to do with the looting of our fellow citizen's wallets, that these events were a once in a lifetime confluence of unrelated bad luck that no one could have anticipated. They want you to forget that they were the ones rolling back regulation after regulation and allowed the rich to pillage the people that make America great. They want you to capitulate and quickly approve a massive bailout to the same crooks that ripped you off.

Tell 'em no. Tell 'em that, in a once in a lifetime event, you'll elect a different guy to lead us out of this. They won't anticipate that.
