RNC and a Rant

This is going to be short. I'm up, it's 6:15 and I need to get in the shower soon.

I just got a few email rants from a good friend about anti-Obama stuff she has been getting in the mail from who she thought were good friends. Sort of similar to "Kim and Elaine".

WTF...these people are enjoying sending out this crap to those of us that they know its really going to bug, to get our goat, to fucking piss us off. I'm paying more attention to this election than to any election before.

I feel deep down in my soul, that this time, it matters in a life and death sort of way, at least for me. Some of the comments I've heard about Obama, even if you totally forget his actual qualifications are so scary. They are so racist, and so ignorant. Now I know there are republicans out there who are not ignorant, I'm friends with a lot of them. The biggest reason people are so up in arms is because Obama has hope of changing things. He is smart, he is BLACK, the child of a single white mom who slept with a BLACK man. It's still too much for some people.

I got an email from this same friends mom the other day. It was written by Cecile Richards, President for the Planned Parenthood Action fund, she said in that email, "a woman voting for Palin is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders." Well said, bravo!

Seriously I can't quit reading about the candidates, about the issues, about the two different versions of the projected future. I'm scared out of my mind if McCain wins this one. I don't know why. I was scared about GWB winning, but not like this. I must get out and help this time.

So there you go folks...and to "S", I'm right there with you baby!

Peace,

OC

I'm like you...I dont know what we are going to do if McCain wins. We'll be screwed thats for sure.
My worry is that one of those racist pricks will kill the man just because he's black, and that makes me almost physically ill just to think of it.
I know he's not stupid...and I know he has security out the wazoo...probably more than anyone else, but still...if someone wants to get you, they will find a way.
I hope with all my heart that I'm wrong, but there is so much hate in this world...

I love him as if he were my own son, and I am doing for him the little that I do for my sons: I concentrate on how much I love them, and I ask, if there is a higher power in the universe, for that Being to protect them. I try not even to THINK about the evil and the danger, for fear thinking about it gives it energy. No fear of McCain and his Bible-pounding Bimbo running mate. Just CANCEL the fear and put all the energy into the love. YES WE CAN. Put the energy there. YES WE CAN.

I couldn't agree more. My way of "getting out there" this time is to go one on one with those who I know will vote against us and try to get them to look at thier thinking and share a differing point of veiw. If I can win just one, and if you can, and so on...
