Okay.

I get it. Yes, by Obama supporter standards, it is time.




However, it is also time for to get over all that and get behind the Democratic nominee. I have my t-shirt and my buttons and I'm thinking about giving them a couple of dollars as well. I can't stand the idea of four more years of these Republicans.

What race? Isn't Obama already President? Obama was inaugurated already. He's on a World Victory tour. All the news channels are celebrating his leadership. McCain conceded weeks ago. Didn't he?

The more I read all the complaints that freepers, Malkinites and other neo-cons have about Obama, the more convinced I become that he will be elected.


I think he could snort coke off a dead hookers ass on national TV and still get elected.


I meant to add that the main complaint of the staunch Republicans is that people like him. I guess you're not supposed to like your candidate. That explains a lot about the Bush administration. I don't think anybody except the evangelicals liked him.

The Oxford Pocket Dictionary of Obscure Political Slang...must have left 'em in my other pants. Freepers? Malkinites? Are these related to Mennonites, Shakers, Mormons, Amish freebasers, glue-sniffing tree-huggers, or Quakers?

Freepers:

Malkinites (nothing to do with John Malkovitch):

Mr. Obama (if he could shed his skin) would be a perfect example of Republicanism before it was hijacked by the extreme right. He'd'a been what they called a "Rockefeller Republican" what they today call a RINO.

He's no radical, in fact he's just more of the same.

Those staunch Republicans---being so staunch and everything--there's really nothing of value, merit, or substance in their objections. Their main complaint is about likability, they're wary of candidates that people like. So true.

Hmm...an amiable, smiling, easygoing candidate with a one-page resume, virtually no political or legislative experience....But people like him, and would rather hang out with him than the other guy...That doesn't sound familiar at all!

But he may actually have a brain.

Mr. Obama (if he could shed his skin) would be a perfect example of a charming liberal-progressive Junior Democrat Senator from the Midwest with a nice baritone voice who gives good speeches at fundraisers, anti-war rallies, and ribbon-cutting ceremonies at libraries.

But that other guy had lots of experience.

Experience in using his daddy's friends money to run businesses into the ground, snort coke, drink & drive and leave an entire state AFU.


Well, it's always been AFU, I guess.


But doggone it! He loves Jesus and that's what matters!

Can i get an AMEN ?

Love Jesus and you got the votes. Doesn't matter if you show it. Just gotta say it. This country is pitiful at times.

Not exactly unique to Bush, or Obama. When was the last time we had a self-identified non-believer, non-Christian, or atheist in the Oval Office? Or someone who just didn't feel like going to church? Pre-20th Century?

Even Obama's gotta show he loves Jesus. He had to network his way his way into political recognition though membership in the community's socially-influential church. Whether you want to or not, if you want to be taken seriously as a candidate in America, accepting and displaying your faith to fellow members of your community, and to the electorate, is an obligation. Or at least a required gesture.

Obama wouldn't be the first to take a nap in the pew with his eyes open on Sunday morning. McCain, Hillary, Romney, Edwards, too. All members. It's gotta be on your resume. Can't get elected in America without being a church member. People expect that.

What we don't like is a President that really is a person of faith, and actually believes in all that crazy gospel shit, that's dangerous. We just want them to show up a few times, and pretend to believe. For social and tradition reasons. How messed up is that?

It's not the candidates, it's the electorate we should be worried about. We're a nation of self-deluded hypocrites ! God bless us, every one!
