oh, for fuck's sake.

Here's exactly why picking Sarah Failin is such a monumentally bad idea. Start watching at 3:23.

Basically, McCain's spokesman twists and turns and spins and lies about Palin's inexperience. The reporter tries to ask, over and over, how she's qualified to be VP based on the standard of experience that the McCain campaign itself set given her

I don't know what to do this election, I really don't. I used to respect McCain, but then he started pandering to the Evangelical Christians, and I barely recognize him anymore. But what's my option? Vote for Obama? He may respect my right to make my own reproductive choices, but he's going to bankrupt this country.

I wonder if the phenomenon happening on this LJ is replicating elsewhere? By that I mean moderates who were at least mildly pro-Bush being in a complete pickle and hating both sides this election. Dubya really screwed the pooch, and the pooch hasn't recovered at all.

I'm giving Obama two months to prove to me he's worth my vote, otherwise I'm writing in either Rudy or Hillary.

Woooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww........

There are no words. Well, maybe pathetic fits.

And to think I hated politics before. This is ridiculously absurd.

This is either going to be the lowest voter turnout of all time, or the largest write-in percentage. No one in their right freaking mind would vote for either the Dems or the Reps.

Wow is right, I had to check twice that this was actually your comment. I'm amazed and gratified to see this stuff isn't just bothering me.

You're getting a lot of angry, disenfranchised Republicans on this journal. I seem to be playing host to the Angry Moderate Convention. :) My politics are centrist, maybe center-right. Pro-gun, pro-war, pro-entrepreurship, for a strong national defense, but also pro-choice, pro-gay, moderately feminist, moderately for social justice. Not sure where I belong now, but I think the GOP has lost me.

It was a good run for a while, though. Both kallistos and I are out Pagans, and we're also both Young Republican former chairpeople. Virginia, for all that it's Falwell and Robertson's state, was very hospitable to us. There's a lot of calculus in why the party listens to the far Christian right and not to its moderates, and it has everything to do with there not being a cohesive, organized moderate voting bloc. I tried to get moderates to come out and vote, because folks like me can't win if we don't play, but you can only bang your head on a wall for so many years before you finally have enough, y'know?
