Random Political Weekend Post.
While instilling fear about Obama into their rallies ("Palling around with Terrorists"? Charming.) McCain and Palin have managed to drive their supporters into a racist frenzy. My street is littered with McCain/Palin signs, and I'm just praying they are as horrified by this angry mob as I am.
The problem as I see it is McCain and Palin want Americans to be afraid of Barack Obama enough not to vote for him, but not enough to want to kill him. Though some of Palin's words make me wonder if she doesn't love frothing up the crowd.
Unfortunately there are a lot of stupid assholes in the world and the line between not agreeing with someone's fundamental world view and creating a false sense of terror and fear is difficult to draw for people without brains.
I believe John McCain is an honorable man who wants the best for this country. I disagree with the foundation of what he believes will make this country better. I have nothing terribly kind to say about Sarah Palin so I won't. I believe John McCain is being forced to play to this lowest common denominator of mouth breathers ("I've heard Obama is an Arab..." WHAT THE HELL AMERICA!?), they're the only way he's going to be elected.
I'm trying not to lump all McCain supporters into this mass of stupidity. Still, I'm horrified at this turn in the election. I hope you are too. I don't want this kind of culture to rule our country for another four years.
