Fear of eating Cat Food for the rest of their natural lives trumps the old bitterz fear/loathing of the Black Man.
Regarding old people, this is the perfect time for Barack to fly to the bedside of his infirm old white grandmother. What kind of self-respecting Afro-Muslim terrorist acts like that?! This is even worse than when the Republicans pointed out that Michelle has a Rabbi for a cousin!! It’s all too confusing!
Keep spamming McCain’s website. I know the fun wears off on your tenth “i AM sick of THE hate-mongering” sign, but spamming them costs them time and resources. I’m doing ten an hour for as long as they keep the widget up there.

I am Bob, the Obama supporter!
This is from the transcript of the CNN interview with Miss Wasilla:
“Reining in government growth, recognizing government certainly plays appropriate roles in building infrastructure, providing tools for our families, for our businesses, but then government kinda getting outta the way as you have great oversight making sure that there isn’t the corruption and the abuse, but government, I think get outta the way and let the private sector do what it does best.”
Could she play more into Jon Stewart’s hand or what? Go away government! Come back government! Go away government! Come back government!
(And, there is no way she uttered that many g’s at the ends of words.)
OK, I’m just warning everyone… don’t talk to me today. I’m pissed as shit and NOT in a good mood. Why you ask? Well, let me put it this way: I didn’t donate $100 of my hard earned dollars to Barry’s campaign just to have him fritter it away it running against some geezer who blows all of his campaign contributions on 5th Avenue shopping sprees for his Alaskan mistress. Seriously, it’s like I paid good money to see a guy wrestle a bear and an alligator at the same time only to discover that the bear is a koala and the alligator is just 4 foot long and toothless. I want a prize-fight, dammit, not some Hannity & Colmes bullshit setup.
I put “I am sick of your racism” and got a message saying they would send my sign. Gatekeepers asleep or am I really wasting their money? Yeah baby!
Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. I forget - these guys probably think in reverse.
Giant Robot: Jesus, I’m having fun. My latest: I am voting for that one.
My dad, who is really old, voted early in NM for Obama, his first Dem for president ever. He said he knows something about age, and John McCain is too old. That plus my sister threatened to take away his HBO.
jodyleek: Palin was made for Stewart and Colbert - proof there IS a God.
OK, pull out the hankies for this one, because my eyes are wet with a love of humanity after seeing this one; a pic of Barry and his granddad at the beach:

Folks, if there is any justice in the world that kid will be our next president.
Serolf Divad: This Saks Fifth Avenue story is bullshit, it’s obvious that the RNC picked up her clothes at an Ebay auction of 1980’s Michael Jackson costumes.
McGrumpy’s people also promised to e-mail my “I am WAYNE the WINGNUT” sign
Serolf Divad:
He was a cute little kid, for sure.
Serolf Divad: Dunno what that kid in the background exaclty is up to but it does look like Barry is used to assasination attempts.
Johnny Zhivago:
With shoulder pads only a hockey mom could appreciate.
Old people are just telling pollsters they like the young guy - when they walk or get rolled into that voting booth, they’re pulling the lever for the old man. It’s the Brimley effect.
TJBeck: especially if they have diabeetus
TJBeck:
But they’re old and confused so half of them will pull the lever for the young guy thinking they’re pulling the level for the old guy. So Barry still wins.
2goats: I cannot believe they will–that is too great.
Serolf Divad: this is felony cute. And I hope he will. We already voted here in VA for him. My vote actually might count for once in my life.
Serolf Divad: I see why Mark Foley is so excited by Barry.
investors are concerned about low earnings this quarter, which DUH
Yes, stock investors get reduced to an IQ slightly above that of a junebug. It’s strange, as they don’t start out that way. Nerves and fear, nerves and fear.
The ABC News article that tries to destroy Palin’s tiny head by using GOTCHA JOURNALISM kind of says something weird, too. “Lyndon Johnson was Vice President during John F Kennedy’s first term”. What, as opposed to his illustrious 5th term? Or his 11th term when critics agree his presidency Jumped the Shark?
Aaaarrgh! Gov. Nitwit has had four months to learn what the VP does and she still can’t get it right?!? Loved her lame appearance on SNL, though.
Serolf Divad: I’m sure that photo cured you of being pissed.
Nothing costs a candidate the vote quicker than any mention of cutting off Medicare and Social Security and saying you think you’ll just focus on military and veterans for awhile. Which Walnuts did. He’s got Cindy, why should he care if he has to give up his SS and Medicare?
They’re leaving him so fast now you can’t see ‘em for wheelchair and walker dust - leaving only the faint whiff of oatmeal toots.
Hey, old people are just old. They’re not necessarily stupid.
WadISay: My grandfather was less than a year older than Reagan, and he said the same thing during Reagan’s first term - he knew from firsthand experience that 72 was too old.
Of course, there wasn’t so much an issue of him not having voted Democrat in the past. He voted for Stevenson twice (particularly impressive as an Army officer, voting against Eisenhower).

Hey guys, Election Day is pretty close to Halloween–let’s all just dress in costume and attempt to vote as various fictional characters in service to our lords and masters at ACORN…
