Weekend Political Post: Are people still seriously buying this?

I have a bookmark folder titled "Weekend Political Rantings".

I'm not sure why I'm so fired up about this election. I guess the sense that there is a huge portion of this population who seem to believe that negative attacks far beyond policy criticism are an appropriate way to run a campaign and Christian Values are somehow appropriate for all of this country's diverse population.

It's making me furious, and I wish McCain's camp would just stop, mostly because every time I read one of these things or hear about a disgusting Robocall or campaign mailing. I have to give more money to the Obama camp. At the rate McCain's going, we'll be unable to pay our bills.

The best thing I saw all week was John McCain talking about negative ads.

Oh, you don't say. Weird.

After the stupid Terrorist garbage, McCain and Palin have moved onto the OMG HE'S A SOCIALIST!!!!! We won't have enough TOILET PAPER ONCE HE'S IN CHARGE!!!!

Funny thing is, he seemed to understand the basic tenets of Progressive Taxation just a few short years ago. I guess he was a socialist before it became a smear.

Progressive Taxation is okay, unless it's 2008 and I'm having my ass handed to me on a platter. Then it's SOCIALISM AND AMERICA!!!! YOU SHOULD BE TERRIFIED! A-hem. Here's a longer version of McCain's opinion, in fairness. Gee, maybe I would have voted for 2000McCain. 

Finally, this week I'd really like someone to explain why an abortion clinic bomber is not a domestic terrorist, while William Ayers is. Is it because Sarah Palin believes government should be smaller and "get out of the way" while she believes government should make personal moral decisions about who can get married and who can make decisions about one's own body? Does this make the abortion bomber's actions less reprehensible? Because she agrees with them? What?

At the very least, if you are not voting for Barack Obama because he is a "terrorist" and a "socialist", I honestly think you are ridiculous. Please at least find something real to motivate your vote for John McCain.

If you're not voting for Barack Obama because he's a black man, then please just stop reading.
