My wife and I have been deluged with opportunities to volunteer for the Obama/Biden campaign in western Pennsylvania. They are doing an excellent job getting people engaged, which is really encouraging So I thought I'd visit www.johnmccain.com to see what the opposition is up to in our area. Not surprisingly, there are only two events: one "Victory Rally" two weeks from now, and a bi-partisan event. No canvassing, no anything else. They've obviously given up on Pennsylvania.
So I cast my net a bit wider, expanding the search to a 100 mile radius and into eastern Ohio. I pick up quite a few events, but very little canvassing and mostly "get-togethers". One event was truly odd, and gives insights into the exurban Republican mind.
JESSICA's Event
Friday, October 17, 2008
7:30 pm to 8:30 pm
MOGADORE, OH
It's actually every Friday night until the election, so take your pick.
GIRLS NIGHT! Please come to my event to talk about John McCain's agenda for America and to discuss what we can do to help him win. John McCain consistently puts his country before his political interests and is committed to addressing the tough issues America cares about most.
If you figure out how to get McCain elected, give him a call afterwards, because he doesn't have a clue either.
Please join us for this important and fun event and get free stuff! Munchies and beverages will be provided, then it's off to the Wing Warehouse!
That's a good idea; better to stuff your face and get drunk instead of making calls or pounding the pavement.
all women! I STRONGLY encourage all of you to utilize any/all available resources and educate yourself on the upcoming election. Women have been given the right to vote, and we need to use that to our advantage!
Correction: You were not "given" the right to vote. Progressive women fought for that privilege, against the entrenched forces of conservatism.
McCain would be the oldest first-term U.S. president, a 72-year-old cancer survivor who was repeatedly tortured during more than five years in North Vietnam's infamous "Hanoi Hilton" prison for captive American servicemen.
Thank you for the truly disturbing but mercifully brief biography of John Sidney McCain III.
Alaska Gov. Sarah, his running mate, is the Republican party's first female vice presidential nominee and would be the first female vice president of the United States.
And the first one to speak in tongues.
It is SO important, and I strongly urge you to vote based on facts, not on what you hear in the media, ignorant opinions, or family influences.
I believe the second item in your list would disqualify you as a source of information, Jessica.
It's just you and God at that voting booth! I am a member of Citizens for McCain and Women for McCain. If you have any questions or need any information, please feel free to call or email me anytime. God Bless and Good Luck!
That's why I'm an atheist; it makes for a less-crowded voting booth.
P.S. How about a fun game? Say, out loud, the word "nation" after McCain... ... ... ... "Make a Nation" =-)
How about another fun game, and say it out loud: "Ladies and gentlemen, President Barack Obama"
