Dear Undecided Voter, (aka my final plea to the insane)
Posted by Kate G. in US Election 2008.
Before I begin, let me set up the assumption I’ve made about you. Stop me if I’m wrong.
Due to the fact that you’re undecided, I’ve deduced that you probably don’t make more than $250,000 a year. I can safely assume this because if you were making that much money, you would be:
A. …a registered Republican, trying to protect all of your money from the grubby hands of the lower-class (like Joe the Unlicensed Plumber, who had already donated to McCain’s campaign before that little chat with Obama), or
B. …a Democratic politician of some sort.
US Election 2008 | Comments (2)A message to Imaginary America.
Posted by Kate G. in US Election 2008.
Okay, so everyone’s up in arms about this whole “Real America” thing, as they rightly should be. It’s awful that they’re calling racists who pretty much want this country run by a Christian theocracy the “real” Americans. I guess that makes the rest of us imaginary.
I know exactly what the Republican party is doing: inciting nationalism against members of their own nation, claiming those who disagree with their radical policies are anti-country, pointing fingers so no one looks at what they’re really saying. Reeeeal creative, John. We haven’t seen this move from any country, ever. Especially not Germany, or anything.
US Election 2008 | Comment (1)Not so funny anymore.
Posted by Kate G. in US Election 2008.
So, the Alfred E. Smith benefit dinner cut into my sacred hour of Rachel Maddow the other night. Initially, I was pretty upset. Then, I found myself trying my hardest NOT to laugh at McCain (who TOTALLY killed, I must say, to my chagrin). By the time Obama came up, I was truly enjoying myself, laughing away like it was a Friar’s Roast or something.
Then, Saturday rolls around, and there’s Governor Palin (aka Caribou Barbie), hammin’ it up on SNL. In my opinion…not that funny. But that’s beside the point.

Hey, Sarah! Tell John to stop using your child as part of his gigantic lie that makes him sound like a Democrat.
John, the kid has Down Syndrome; how the hell does this make Sarah Palin the expert on autism? Anyone? Anyone?
Look it up, buddy. Not all special needs people are the same.
And how dare you lie to parents around the country that need government money to support their children with disabilities of all kinds? Your plan wants to FREEZE ALL SPENDING, including to people with special needs. You say Obama is “eloquent” and you “really need to listen” to what he says to hear the tricks he’s trying to pull. But all we need to see your tricks is a short-term memory of more than five seconds.
Thank God we’re not goldfish, then, or you’d be winning.
US Election 2008 | Comments (2)A race about race.
Posted by Kate G. in US Election 2008.
If we thought this race was about race when it was Clinton vs. Obama, we hadn’t seen anything yet.
At this point, it’s got to be the “black” thing that keeps anyone voting for McCain (that, or the constant comparisons to terrorists…thanks, NY absentee ballots). I can’t see any other reason why normal, middle- and lower-class Americans refuse to vote for Obama.
It can’t be the “economy” thing, since Obama’s plan would give nearly all of the awful people in McCain’s crowds a tax cut. And McCain’s brilliant “spending freeze” for everything except defense is the grossest idea I’ve ever heard; the past eight years have been a spending freeze on everything but defense!
US Election 2008 | Comments (3)Poem about McCain’s hatespeech.
Posted by Kate G. in US Election 2008.
Wet, stinking
Soaking their shoes
It trickles down the soapbox
And down Main Street
Like all liquid it races
For lower ground
In a quiet
Snaking flow
Burning eyes and ears
As we hear and see
The man with the plan
And the can.
A not-so-”D”-lightful grade for McCain.

Fact: it has officially been proven that you don’t have to be for the war in order to support the troops…or for the troops in order to support the war.
How do I figure?
The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Association (IAVA) recently put their “2008 Congressional Report Card” online. And for all of McCain’s touchy-feely speeches about veteran’s affairs, his rhetoric doesn’t match his record.
Quelle surprise.
Yep, the POW vet himself got a D on the IAVA report card. A D! That’s really gonna hurt his GPA.
And guess who got an A? My favorite congressman…Dennis Kucinich. The super-left-leaning, UFO-seeing “little elf” from Ohio. He’s been against every aspect of the “War on Terror” since day one! And yet, he has voted to fund our troops many, many more times than McCain has even shown up for these votes! (FYI: Obama and Biden both got B’s)
Lies, lies, lies. Is there anything he isn’t lying about? What happened to that “Truth Train?”
I guess it must have “D”-railed.
