I'm upset, too, but that doesn't mean you should kill yourself.
If you've been listening to the beeb coverage of the election, they mentioned that the McCain on stage at that moment was the 'old' McCain, the moderate McCain who was actually liked by both sides. And I totally, 100% agreed with their assessment, the McCain on that stage had class that I haven't seen from the man in years.
It's a shame that instead of trying to out-appeal Obama, he resorted to trying to sling as much mud as possible to try and make some of it stick, even devolving into fear mongering.
And Palin was simply an awful choice. It was a blatant attempt to appeal to disenfranchised Hilary supporters, but once she actually opened her ignorant mouth it was over.
One really has to wonder, did McCain's campaign prove that he's simply two-faced, or did he simply trust the wrong people and get bad campaign advice.
This shows you have a very poor outlook on things. What evidence do you have that Obama will turn this country into this vast socialist machine that you seem to think he's going to?
Picking someone who is not Pro-choice in an attempt to capture the vote from disenfranchised women and feminist is a bit like saying, "Hey I have the next Pope all picked out.....but he's Jewish. Is that going to be a problem?"
AlexMax, I couldn't agree with you more. Once McCain picked the mother from Bobby's World as his running mate, I knew it was to simply appeal to Hillary voters. There were so many better options the Republican party could have chosen for VP, but they didn't. I think it really lost some Republican voters.
I'm a little bummed, but life goes on.
Hey, at least the Phillies are still World Phuckin' Champions!
Palin in 2012!
