don't get me started

as a woman, i feel a little offended. does mccain think women who were once voting for hillary are going to sudddenly go running for "hot chick" palin just because she has a vagina? as erin put it, does he think women are going to sniff out the scent of estrogen and follow it wherever it may lead? give us some credit. palin's viewpoints couldn't be further from what hillary was fighting for. with palin in charge, women might as well give up thier own uterus on a platter, god knows they'll have no rights to it whatsoever.

and let's talk a minute about divisiveness. i especially loved how guiliani stood in front of a video screen showing the skyline of NYC after 9/11, when the country was more united than its ever been and constantly spoke of "us" and "them" when referring to republicans and democrats. obama has made every effort to say "americans" not "republicans" or "democrats." we are all fighting for the same country, assholes.

obama talks about a wave of change, while all the mccain camp can seem to do is belittle him. that says to me he doesn't have much of a chance, and he knows it. they worked every angle that bush did during the kerry/edwards campaign of 4 years ago. they belittled, laughed, joked, called him a "flip flopper" and did nothing to tell us how THEY were going to be different than the bush/cheney team we have in office now.

you know what? yes, obama make lack the experience that mccain has. but what has experience gotten us so far? an economy in the dumps, a reputation as a bully, high gas prices, contributions to global warming, an endless war... the list goes on and on.

this is my response to the "no experience" argument. it doesn't take "experience" folks. it takes common sense. it takes a willingness to listen to different viewpoints. it takes a decision maker who's going to make the right decisions for the right reasons. obama will have foreign policy advisors out the yin yang. he'll have hundreds of very experienced people who are willing to give him different viewpoints. he needs to be pragmatic. he needs to be open to change. he needs to inspire people. he needs to prove to the younger generation that politics aren't just for the good old boys.

i want a president who WILL change his mind when given new information. someone who isn't stubborn in the way that he thinks. someone who doesn't think god speaks directly to him. someone who see's we're in a losing war.

mccain says he's going to fight to the gates of hell to find bin laden. well you know what - no he's not! he's going to be sitting in his cush office while our brothers, fathers, sons, children, sisters, daughters etc are searching caves and getting killed for someone who knows those caves like the back of his hand.

hes's a hot head who's proven he makes rash decisions by picking sarah palin - someone who was chosen for all the wrong reasons to be a stones throw away from the white house.

i'm all for women in office - but it's disgusting that he picks the wrong woman for all the wrong reasons and thinks we're too blind to see through it.

i hope americans are smarter than that.
