My latest idea for a bumper sticker (if I didn’t detest them so much)…
“Jesus was a liberal”

I guess that would make Jesus anti-American in Bachmann’s warped mind.

I’m really kind of sick of all this inciting of anger and fear by the whole McCain/Palin camp. Khaled Hosseini author of “The Kite Runner” says it best in his article “McCain and Palin Are Playing with Fire”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wpdyn/content/article/2008/10/10/AR2008101002456.html

It’s this whole demonizing and degrading people personally campaign tactic that I think is going to hopefully backfire beautifully on McCain. I think there are a lot of us that are just plain done with him.

I can’t wait until Tuesday has come and gone. Hopefully we will have elected a person(Obama) whom can begin to repair all the damage from the last bumbling jerk of a President.

If you guys want to see something really amazing — something that will show you what kind of deception McCain is capable of — read this piece on HuffPo:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/30/gop-mailer-mccain-is-inhe_n_139447.html

For those that don’t want to click, the brief is that McCain sent out a mailer suggesting that he and Hillary Clinton are ideologically compatible, and that he’s picking up the 18M supporters she left behind. The ad intimates that HRC is on McCain’s side, despite the fact that she’s been hard at work tub-thumping for Obama.

And Anne, I totally agree with you on the “homeland” moniker. It still sends shivers down my spine, along with “drug czar”. WTF?

Correction–Hitler’s “motherland.”

This Republican administration has been detrimental to the mental health of the citizens of our country. Ever since 9/11 they’ve nurtured anxiety with, among other fear tactics, the homeland security high alert levels–having no practical application, they were intended to intmidate. Seeing that daily ticker at the bottom of every news program’s broadcast was like waking up in the morning only to be told first-thing that “something bad might happen to you today.” And I abhor the use of homeland due to its similarity to Hitler’s “homeland.” More recently, I find it hard to believe we sent bombs into Syria and have yet to apologize—-scaring not just US citizens, but citizens of the world.

Loved the piece, Jane. Perhaps it explains my “liberalization” better than I could!

Oh!
Bachmann comes off as a tool- all on her own. I didn’t mean to imply that you made her come off as a tool. She does it quite well without any help.
