After four days of watching these so-called Republicans, I have some thoughts I need to get off my chest.
- What a vile, disgusting, selfish group of people.
- You do NOT support a culture of life if you support war and the death penalty. sorry.
- You do NOT support judges who do not "legislate from the bench" when what you really want is for them to legislate in your favor.
- Being a POW does not itself qualify you to be president. In fact, it may disqualify you--see John McCain for example. He is obviously a psychologically scarred and unstable person. Some of his issues are so transparent--model wife #1, cheat on her, marry beauty queen wife #2, choose beauty queen VP. see a pattern?
- This group avoids the REAL problems. Education system is broke? OK, lets have school choice, charter schools, and vouchers. Why would we want to actually fix the broken system? You don't like abortion? Let's outlaw it! Why would we want to actually deal with the systemic problems that cause abortion? You don't like that young people have sex? Ok, let's tell them not to have sex! Why would we want to educate them so that they can make healthy and appropriate decisions for themselves? Osama bin Laden is a bad guy? OK, let's invade Iraq! Why would we want to hunt down the real enemy?
- Rudy Guiliani is a horrible horrible human being. I used to like the guy.
- As Andrew would say, the christianists have taken over completely. Palin is the real candidate now. They're voting for her, not for Sidney McCain. I'll re-pose Andrew's question--do you think McCain realizes he is presiding over a theological movement? They'll vote for her because she is "like them," not because of any particular qualifications she has for office or ideas she has for the betterment of the world. All she wants is to implement the evangelical christianist vision and turn this country into a theocracy equal to those of the Muslims we supposedly hate for their lack of "freedom." The establishment of a Christianist theocracy will do more to remove freedom than anyone can imagine.
- For these people, "energy independence" means nothing. It means line oil companies pockets by drilling for more oil in our country. This will solve nothing, and it will not allow us to become independent from oil. If anyhting, it will slightly lower oil prices, making us further dependent on the stuff as we can afford it more readily. True energy independence means getting off that stuff--the stuff that hurts our national security and that destroys our planet. We need other sources, we need ingenuity...we don't need to just find more oil. That will change nothing.
- You cannot be the party rallying against the good ol' boys club when YOU ARE THE GOOD OL' BOYS CLUB. The hall was filled with white haired white men. Give me a break.
That's all, I think. Please Barack. Please.

OK, and can I just add one?
They are so unbelievably sexist. The stuff that comes out of these people's mouths is just shocking to me.
I saw this one fat white guy talking and he kept referring to the "ladies" and how "ladies often cry" and "ladies get emotional." Give me a break.
And, the CNN reporters - the ones I see here, anyway, are also stupidly sexist - and they are women! They just kept going on and on about how, being a woman, it was so emotional to watch Palin with her baby.
COME ON.
Maybe this is the point where you turn to me, and, tears in your eyes from whatever stupid thing Carrie Bradshaw has said and you say to me, "What kind of woman are you?"
Well, I am a reasonable woman, okay. And I do not see any reasonable women in that GOP crowd.
