I'm looking forward to Obama's administration because -- unlike his predecessor -- I think that he will govern by surrounding himself with a myriad of thinkers who do not all agree with him on every policy. What a novel idea!
]]>"I'm sorry if you were offended. But if you weren't, I'm not sorry."
Ugh.
]]>*shudder*
]]>BUSH: Hey Barack! How are you?
OBAMA: I'm fine George, thanks for inviting me.
BUSH: Oh, no problem man -- I just wanted to apologize in person for f**king up the country so bad.
McConnell cannot offer him anything of value. There are no leadership positions available in the Republican party -- not to mention that other GOPers would be pissed if they got skipped over for a former-Democrat-turned-Republican like Lieberman.
Not gonna happen -- as much as it would be fun to see.
]]>That kid is going places...
]]>I have to admit that I'm surprisingly pleased.
My wife and I went to our polling place after we dropped our five-year-old off at his pre-kindergarten class. As we arrived at our usual polling place in deep-red GOP territory, I parked our car next to a late-model Honda Civic littered with Obama/Biden stickers. There were other cars in the lot with similar political apparel.
My first impression: Wow -- that's more of a Democratic presence than I would have expected.
My wife and I strode into the polling location with our Obama buttons, stickers and t-shirts in plain view. Believe me when I say that there was no doubt for whom we would be voting -- particularly because our two-year-old daughter was in tow and proudly exclaiming "Bama! Bama!" (for some reason, she doesn't get the 'O')
Inside the polling place there was no line. Since Rachel Maddow refers to the lines as a 'poll tax', we got off 'tax-free'. However, there were more voters there than I've seen since I've lived here and voted at that location. Of the electorate that was present, the majority were younger (under the age of 40) which is a big deal because we usually see a majority representing the over-65 crowd at our precinct.
Spirits seemed to be high, and none of the older women who were the election volunteers scoffed at the menagerie of Obama gear that my wife and I were wearing.
We cast our ballots, got our 'I voted' stickers, and left. No problems. No hang-ups. No hassle from 'Hussein'-chanting McCain/Palin supporters.
Now, we wait.... like the rest of America.
]]>These questions are SOOO STUPID. Does the RNC realize that McCain has never been president either? Technically, you can ask the same questions of McCain. UGH!
]]>"That sh*t ain't right."
]]>Kitchen sink strategy time. Chuck it all out and pray something sticks in the waning days of the campaign.
Honestly, I am shocked that the McCain campaign has held the Wright 'card' this long. I thought for sure that it would have been 'played' by now.
]]>I think Mitt is uber-bitter from the GOP primary race. Every time I see ol' Mitt stumping for McCain, it seems like he's only half-hearted about it.
]]>Give it up John. How can you make your argument against Obama when you are in favor of the same type of 'redistribution'?
]]>In addition, by nature a taxation system IS a redistribution of wealth. So, apparently socialism came to our country a long time ago (by McCain's definition of socialism anyway).
Arrrrgh!
]]>Almost.
]]>You really want a horror show, head over to HotAir. Wing-nuts galore...
]]>That said, I'm not going to count McCain out -- no matter how much his running-mate tries to sabatoge his campaign...
]]>When the hell will 11/4 get here?!?!?!?! I'm SOOO over McCain and the robo-crapola.
]]>Oh, I know Glenn Beck is a douche -- but I never looked at the entire network that way.
]]>He's got so many other negative qualities, this is simply piling on... :)
]]>November 5th can't get here quickly enough.
]]>New Hampshire. New Hampshire. New Hampshire.
I'm as excited and confident as the next Obama supporter, but we need to avoid complacency. The minute that someone says, "It's all over!" is the minute that McCain wins this thing.
No offense Tena. :)
]]>Seriously though... acamus is right. Hock that sh*t for another ad-buy fix.
]]>Slimey. Gross.
]]>"Country First" indeed...
]]>Now Texas -- that is a state outside the realm of possibility... :)
]]>And I'm about to make another donation...
