Dubya's Stalker Strikes Again

Gosh, I sure am glad to be represented by that woman.

What This Election Is Really About

Son Number Two -- that'd be Tristan, for those of you scoring at home -- has been working at fundraising for the Obama campaign for the better part of a year. And damn near every time that I see him, he recounts another phone call in which he is berated for being a "nigger lover," or some other such ignorant and ridiculous statement.

It makes me despair for the state of the Union.

Since more than 80% of voters believe that the Republicans have our nation heading in the wrong direction, but the presidential polls are virtually a dead heat, what does that say about our nation's electorate?

All of you readers who so fervently (and so irrationally) oppose Senator Obama's candidacy: just think about the stereotypes, both overt and covert, with which you're being bombarded... and the types of persons with whom you're crawling in bed, politically.

With what type of person do you want to be aligned?

Connections

Yesterday, while in central Iowa, I caught part of Rush Lamebrain's show. And, from what was said, it seems that Barack Obama is a lying monster, bent on destroying our liberties, on creating a totalitarian regime right here in America.

At least that's what the hillbilly-heroin addict would have us all believe.

This is what much of the national political debate has devolved into. These whack jobs can't merely express the idea that they have some disagreements with Obama's policy; instead, they must demonize the man, turn him into something other than human.

In other news, three different drug-addled morons were arrested Sunday in Colorado after making racially-tinged threats toward Obama. The idiots in question were equipped with scoped rifles, walkie-talkies and a bulletproof vest.

Whether or not there is a connection between members of the right-wing hate machine and those who wish to turn their bile into action will be left as an exercise for the reader.
