The past few days have probably been the worst that I’ve seen, when it comes to candidate diaries. In the past, I’ve participated in supporting some candidate diaries, and I can’t promise that I won’t do it again in the future. But for now...ENOUGH!
Geraldine Ferraro said something incredibly stupid the other day. Was it racist? Most people say yes, obviously. But a few say no. Why do we need to get into screaming matches with one another over this?
What we should be screaming about is the fact that we have a war that still going on and a Congress that won’t do anything to stop it.
What we should be screaming about is the fact that we have both a president and a vice president who have committed crimes that they could be impeached for but they’re still hanging onto their offices.
What we should be screaming about is the fact that we just may have telcom immunity if we don’t do something soon.
What we should be screaming about is the fact that we have a gigantic deficit that my generation will have to pay off (Thanks, Bush supporters!).
What we should be screaming about is the fact that David Vitter and Larry Craig are allowed to keep their Senate seats, but Eliot Spitzer almost faced impeachment.
What we should be screaming about is the fact that we’ve already started down the path to war with Iran.
What we should be screaming about is the fact that we’re still dependent on countries that harbor terrorists for oil.
What we should be screaming about is the fact that there’s still a genocide going on in Darfur.
What we should be screaming about is the fact that people can’t afford to buy both food and heating fuel.
What we should be screaming about is the fact that pharmaceutical companies and hospitals are charging consumers and arm and a leg.
Let the Obama campaign take care of this whole Ferraro mess. He’ll get through this, just like he got through every other slimy thing that’s been said about him so far this campaign. It’s not in our hands right now. If you want to do something about it give his campaign some money. I will be doing that as soon as I can.
What else are you screaming about?
