A few weeks ago, I posted a similar diary. Since I am filled with paranoia that the American people are just stupid enough to elect John McCain, I thought I would post a few questions and thoughts.
- I had lunch with 3 friends from college today. One is a Republican. One is a teacher who I had no idea followed politics. It was apparent that she doesn't when she spouted off that she thought Obama would do something crazy if he was elected and get shot. All 3 thought that Palin was a good choice. I was about sick.
- Another friend who was a Hillary supporter is considering voting for McCain/Palin. This is your racist Democratic vote, I think. We should not ignore the ugly reality that we will lose votes because people are racist.
- My Dad works at a small factory. They have just started red shirt Fridays. This is where they are supposed to wear a red t-shirt that supports our troops. Maybe supporting our troops means that we take care of them when they come home, not wear meaningless t-shirts.
- I have read a lot about how Obama is not fighting back. Are you people listening to him? He is fighting and he is fighting hard. He is not trying to win the votes of us......he is trying to win the votes of those people that might be worried about voting for him.
- I am just a ball of nerves about this election. I spent about 2 hours on the phone with various people yesterday just ranting about my friends I discussed above and the nerve of the Republicans. It almost makes me sick.
- The people of Iowa (obviously not me) caucused for Obama because we got to know him and we realized he wasn't crazy. In Ohio and Pennslyvania, the voters heard a lot more crap about him. It's too bad.
- I suspect that Sarah Palin will play the tough mean woman while campaigning, except for 2 times....her interview with Gibson, which will probably consist of a lot of pictures of the new baby and the VP debate where I am sure that she will pull the damsil in distriss crap.
- Does anyone else think that McCain looks like he has recently had a stroke?
