You're not voting for Obama, you're voting against McCain.
We're reaching the point where I'm going to have to get drunk to do that.

I'll be okay. It's not that bad once you get used to the smell.
I'm looking for an 1842 blanket, made by itinerant blanket makers in Pennsylvania, with some initials and American eagles and such woven into it. It might be in the garage or it might not. I need to give it to someone who will love it.
Dead threaded by 15 minuets? Holy crap Batman. OK, here we go again...
That's pretty much it in many cases. It wouldn't be the first time liberals pulled the handle for someone who they didn't like all that much only because the opponent was much worse. If that's the reality we face in November then fine, so be it. If we are cynically being dumped with the idea that "where are we going to go?" will get him our votes anyway, he's right, he'd have to get a hell of a lot worse before I'd stay home.
Meanwhile the stupid public is being played like the stupid public they are and if we get too loud about it the guys who are playing the stupid public just start shouting "Hey! Those liberal elitists think you're stupid! But we know you're really the bestest and most real of real Americans ever. Yes you are! Yes your are! Whose a smart voter? Whoes a smart voter? Dyess,joo are. Num num num."

How old are you? I'm 50, and I don't expect to see it in a federal office before I die. Local and city offices, sure. If you're in your 20s, there's a chance.
That sound you hear is Thomas Jefferson spinning wildly in his grave.
It was his last Fourth of July as president -- and his first visit to Monticello, the home of the author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson. It was not a long trip. It took the presidential party 40 minutes by helicopter from the White House -- plus a 10-minute motorcade -- to arrive at the home Jefferson built for himself and his family in Charlottesville, Va.
The president's stated purpose was to welcome and attend the swearing-in of 72 new citizens from 30 countries, including one from Burma. But his voice showed emotion when he talked about spreading freedom to other countries, one of his stated rationales for the war in Iraq. Quoting Jefferson as saying that the principles of the Declaration were universal, Bush said: "We honor Jefferson's legacy by aiding the rise of liberty in lands that do not know the blessings of freedom." Without mentioning Iraq, Afghanistan or the war on terrorism, he added, "And on this Fourth of July, we pay tribute to the brave men and women who wear the uniform of the United States of America."
What a complete waste of space and air that guy is.
So you're saying they were rodent hard and put away wet?

I think Jon Carroll nailed it pretty well the other day.
Every presidential vote I've made since I started voting at age 18 has been "against" the other guy. I'm perfectly at peace with that.
The real action's on the undercard, anyway. That's where the energy should really be placed.
Fuck both of them. I'm writing in Russ Feingold.
If VA weren't such a battleground state, I'd write in Hillary or myself or my DiL or just about anyone w two X chromosomes.
At the moment, my plan is to wake up and get quickly blasted, go vote for him before I can sober up and talk myself out of it, and then go work all day in an abortion clinic or women's shelter to expatiate myself.
I knew he was to my right, but I didn't expect this FISA cave or for him to sell women down the river to try and get fundie votes that he's never going to get. What worries me most of all is the naivete.
Hope!

Obama has never shown himself to be very progressive. Look at his record in the Senate.
He's not half the candidate his supporters wanted him to be. But I figure if enough people pull on him maybe he can grow into the position. And with a strong Democratic Congress they can pull on him too.

quick, tell me what this means before my computer crashes. I have a P4 whitebox running XP home edition. It is about 6 years old. every so often the screen goes white then I get scrolling vertical lines and have a hard time regaining the desktop. Is this the hard drive going up in flames, or some other problem? Often the drive will spin and spin for no obvious reason. I reloaded the O/S the other day but it doesn't seem to have helped.
Any advice is appreciated.

Hecate, don't give up on Obama just yet. He backpedaled a bit from his "well, it may take us quite a while to exit Iraq", so he may be susceptible to pressure.
My wife put it well: The Republicans stick to their guns, no matter what. You may hate their positions, but they act like they believe in them.

Maybe its my own naivete, but I'm still hoping that what he's doing is purely defensive. Trying not to give McStain openings to attack him. And it really doesn't have anything to do with how he'll govern.
But its getting harder and harder to convince myself of that.
And that's exactly what I told his campaign when they called asking for money the other day.
and then go work all day in an abortion clinic or women's shelter to expatiate myself.
At this moment, I'm on the last quarter hour of an 8 hour DV hotline shift, will work 8 more hours tomorrow, 16 next weekend, and so on.

So my lovely wife and I went to our first gay wedding yesterday. It was remarkably unremarkable: the groom flubbed his lines during the ceremony, one of the fathers got all verklempt during the toast, another happy gay couple with a wedding a month from now did inventory on what went right and wrong and how much it all cost.
In the past few weeks, I've had a lot of contact with "the kids" - went to a high school graduation last month, and been working with a bunch of 20-somethings on some projects at work. They've grown up with gays as part of their landscape - they've got friends who are out, friends with gay parents and single-sex relationships - and the idea that gay couples SHOULDN'T be able to marry is ludicrous to them. When I told a couple of my wife's 20-something co-workers that I was old enough to remember my parents walking door-to-door in the early 60s to defeat a ballot proposition that would have enshrined housing discrimination based on race in the state constitution, they looked at me as if I were nuts. 20 years from now, people will look back at the fight against gay rights the same way. There'll always be a bunch of fucking nuts looking for something to hate, but they'll have to pick a new target.
Hecate -
You know how much I love you.
But there's a difference between being a critic and being bitter.

That's for the batshit insane fan types who slobbered all over him during the primary here to do. Funny how we don't hear much from them these days.
