All About McCain

Oh, and I just had to say that yesterday we at a festival in our downtown park, which draws people from all over the area. The Democrat's booth was swamped, while the Repub's was deserted. The guy running the Dem booth said it had been that way since the start of the festival. As I stated before, this is a very conservative town and it was really cool to see so much interest in the Dems for a change. There are Obama/Biden stickers and signs everywhere. It's nice to have hope for once.

Didn't you guys have Tip O'Neill there? He was from Spokane, right?

Nope- Tom Foley. And the idiots voted him out, while he was House Speaker (although he would have been minority leader should he have been re-elected) and voted in George Netherbutt, who ran on a term limits platform. Of course, he changed his mind about term limits when his was up, and ran again. Dick.

Oh, and "someone like that" refers to her hypocrisy with regards to 'family values', her activities regarding her ex-brother-in-law, her determination to take away MY reproductive rights, and the fact that she obviously wears the pants in her family yet pretends that hubby is the Fearless Leader of the Clan. I'm sick of strong women having to take a backseat to their husbands for fear of emasculating them- why can't they just be partners? Why does someone have to be the leader, and if it is necessary, why would the person in the leadership role have to sit in the backseat and play all meek and mild just to make the other look and feel like the stronger one? This goes both ways- I know lots of men who do everything for their wives, yet present as a true couple without the whole leader/follower dynamic. I only wish they would teach their wives how to survive after they are gone. (Speaking about one of my clients in particular who just lost her hubby, and is absolutely helpless about even such simple things as check writing.)
