Thanks Felix. That was a good read.

Could only handle a few of the comments. Hoo-ahh, feel the love and read the logic (not).

Yeah, my reaction after reading her blog entry was:

I feel for her, but I think she's a closet conservative. And I love what she says about Sarah Palin and the media's reaction to her.

Basically, she's saying that politics sucks and the pandering of campaigns is shallow, and the Obama campaign has exceeded all limits in how much pandering goes on. Color me shocked. When Bambi-O spends $4M on a *30-minute* TV ad 5 days before the election, I'm thinking "Wow! There are still undecided voters left? And they're gonna be swayed by a slick 30 minute infomercial? What a waste of money! And how stupid are voters really."

I've gotta say, this is the first presidential election I've participated in where I'm sick to my stomach.

That is what I like to see, optimism that I will hold RR IV. I plan to.

Rough count, looking at 20-30 participants this year.

I kind of feel sorry for the lady. Upon the coronation of His Holiness the Lord God Sun King (PBUH) she, and others of her ilk will be the first to answer to the Hope and Change Inquistion. After all, there is nothing a Socialist loves more that purging the ranks of fellow Socialist that aren't as committed to the Cause as they are.

Well, not trying to hijack the subject, but...oh wait...

I find it telling that this has recieved so little media attention. If this had been penned by a republican speech writer or other insider it would be leading all news casts and front page of all newspapers. And it didn't really come across as a cheerleading piece for the GOP as much as it was a screed concerning her disgust with the democratic party. And, again, the majority of American citizens will never see this...thus it does not exist.

I do agree that this is the most rotten campaign I have ever witnessed from the media hacks that have been carrying the democrats water to the utter contempt displayed by the democrats. Although none of this is particularly new it has gone way over the top. The dems have complained about "attacks" from the McCain campaign and to listen to them you would believe that they are the most outrageous and personal attacks in political history. Of course, this is just another case of transference and deflection. Honestly, McCain has been a pussy for most of this campaign and has left much of Obama's low hanging fruit alone. Pointing out your opponents thin resume is hardly what can be deemed attacks...telling the people the truth about your opponents naive foriegn policy ideas or socialist economic plans is exactly what you are supposed to do in a campaign. How the Obama camp and his lackeys in the media can construe that dirt politics is beyond the imagination. And yet, the average citizen will happily skip to the polls next Tuesday and pull the lever for the guy who will give them "change" because the MSM have convinced them that Bush is evil and McCain is Bush's evil twin. Frankly, as disgusted as I am with dems and the media I am even more so with my fellow citizens for being so easily led by a group of America hating used car salesmen.
