This comes from a supposed SWING VOTER in Pennsylvania that I was just talking to, who told me she has decided on Bush. In between bouts of argument, I just have to share this wonderful quote from her, that makes me want to weep in frustration. TEXTBOOK example of what's wrong.
"and I'd say he's doing a pretty good job with all that war stuff."
All that war stuff. That boring ol' war stuff. how many countries are we fighting in these days? I can never remember, but because Bush is "decisive, and lets you know what he really thinks" (another tidbit of her wisdom) I'll just trust him to worry about it? How many soldiers have died? 932 in Iraq? Oh well, can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. And I trust our president to make sure all that war stuff gets finished up soon. K, time to drive my new Ford Explorer to the mall!
AAAAAH!
deep breath
Still- this is what we're up against. For whatever reason, people believe talking points like this sometimes, and we've got to fight it.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go be sick.
Have a good one, everybody
