Kicking ass where the Sun Shines.
Our friend Anne sends word from the electoral trenches of the state that could be key to a sweetly lopsided Obama victory. Not that we're getting overconfident, mind you—in fact, if you haven't already, donate to Misanthropes For Obama before reading further.
Here's Anne:
I just want to update you all on the state of the nation in sunny florida--i have just finished my first day of getting out the duval county dem newsletter, lots of white haired grannies and grampies in the office this time around. can't keep up with the folks coming in for Obama/Biden bumper stickers, buttons and yard signs. i have my 'O and Joe' sticker on the cadie and Obama button on my wallet. like Don Quijote I go forth. lets hope its not a repeat of 2000. we still have a republican secretary of state, yikes. and we still have those diebold voting machines. double yikes. thank god the schleping seems to be working in the Jewish community. Hooray for both sarahs, one who encouraged and one who scared the living bejesus out of a lot of people. Even good ol' Charlie is heading for the hills. love you all, gotv mom
And here's her response to a friend who made the mistake of forwarding an ObamaScare chain e-mail:
I remember when everyone was afraid to vote for a Catholic. Then JFK was elected and it is a non-issue now. In my own family when my Catholic mother and Episcopalian father married, Great aunt Mary was sure that they would all be murdered in their beds and voiced her opinion to one and all.
We are now in the silly season when everyone is afraid to vote for a scary BLACK man with a scary name. doesn't matter how qualified he might be. the American melting pot story is also the America where we women were not allowed to vote till 1920, and the America where the black vote was suppressed in the deep south until relatively recently. we need to vote smart this time. this is not the election to vote for ron paul etc in my humble opinion. 8 years of the Bush agenda and 12 years of Republican control of congress has gotten us where?????. Fear gets us nowhere. and I often wonder why folks do not consider him white since he has a very white Kansas born mother, grandmother, grandfather etc.
Whoever gets elected to do the peoples business needs to get us back on track and get rid of the deficit. Republicans are not too good in that area. tax cuts are great but spending needs to be decreased in the same ratio. we need to have a country run like a household without credit cards. Right now we are selling off the United States one piece of property at a time to foreign investors. and god help us if the treasury notes held by China, India and the Soviet Union are ever called in.
McCain is a demogogue who graduated at the bottom of his class, screwed around on his first wife with multiple bed partners including his present wife cindy. he brings nothing to the table other than a notorious temper in and out of the senate and a huge ego who relies on the pow story to answer all questions. If Guiliani was a noun, a verb and 9-11, than McCain has been a noun, a verb and Pow. Heard that somewhere, but how fitting.
I respect your right to vote for your choice whether it is republican, democrat or libertarian, however i know your smart enough to smell bullshit. anne
