Well it goes without saying the guy is an ignorant yahoo but notice at the end he’s mad because “He [Obama] got people going to Alaska, looking for something to say bad about her.” Because, you know, you shouldn’t say anything bad about someone.
While I was handing out registration forms yesterday, I met an African-American man who will vote for the very first time this year. He’s almost 80 and he told me he still has the hole in his head where police hit him the first time he tried to register. http://susan-justsaying.blogsp.....-vote.html

Wow, Susan, that story gave me chills. Thank you for doing your part! And I will think of that man when I cast my own vote in November.

Personally, I just wish he would act a little more Christiam about the whole thing.

This is why whenever I start to get hopeful, I quickly reign it in. Never underestimate the utter stupidity of the masses.
Sigh.

heather, I hear you. But I would be willing to bet that this guy won’t even bother leaving his house to go out and vote.

Please don’t be Florida. Please don’t be Florida. Please don’t be Florida…It’s Florida.

It’s ALWAYS Florida.

A friend of mine sent me this last week:
I had the following experience in Target a few minutes ago:
An elderly guy, in his 80′s for sure, pointed to the paper towels he was buying and said, “These have really gone up.” I answered, “Yes, everything is getting higher, isn’t it.” He said, “Remember that when you vote for president.” I answered, “I sure will!”
I thought our conversation was ended but then he said, “I’m going to vote for that young black guy instead of the old white guy. I think he can turn things around. He’s smart. He’s a lawyer. I like him.” I said, “Me, too. And he knows what it’s like not to have anything.” Then he went on: “I was in World War II and trained down South. White people called black people terrible things like c*****. When we were in battle, those black guys really watched my back. Anyhow, I’m voting for that young black guy.”
I keep thinking about this story, and have some hope that there will be some hope for the future.

Chips, where do you live again?
That’s good to hear.

(Trying to figure out what word c***** is.)

Dude, me too.
It reminded me of Charlie from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” yelling at Dennis and Mac, “Later, dudes! ‘S’ you in your ‘A’s, don’t wear ‘C’s, and ‘J’ all over your ‘B’s.”
That show is so quotable.

I live in Arizona, but that story came from Minnesota.
Some desert perspective, though. I saw the other day that the lowest ratings in the country for the debates was right here in phoenix. I figure it’s because people either love mccain or already know what a piece of crap he is, and nothing is gonna change that.
Until yesterday, Mrs. O’Toole and I had each seen 2 obama stickers, and no mccain. yesterday, I saw 2 mccain, but that was cleansed, happily, by seeing 2 obama stickers, too. but all stickers are FAR less common tham they were last election cycle, so i suspect the wingnuts here aren’t thrilled about having to vote for that crotchety idiot.
