I made this weekend an official No Election Coverage Day. I don’t think I can hear another word about this election or consider the possibility that after all this is said and done America will vote for McCain based solely on their fears that people like Barack Obama are not only good for this country but are “Arab” terrorists, and that women all around the world are not only getting pregnant so that they can have a Volkswagen Routon (sick of these ads too, BTW), but so that they can have late-term abortions.
“Health” of the “mother?” Really, McCain? Go fuck yourself.
A few things I’ve read recently that I think are worth taking the time to read, if you care.
Make-Believe Maverick. Okay, so Rolling Stone might lean to the left traditionally, but this is not an article full of quotes from “unnamed sources,” but men who served with McCain in Vietnam. I am willing to buy that some of the information in this article might be slightly exaggerated, but even if just a smidgen of it is factual, then I am afraid, very afraid of this man the GOP has paraded out in front of America (and not their first choice, but what can you do?) as the person best tempered and qualified to lead this country.
More Wounded than Eloquent, I’m Afraid. Yes, John McCain, when you talk about those women who you include in your wide-sweeping assessment of “pro-abortion” women, this is one of them. I have no words of my own that would do this justice. You’ll just have to read it.

Make Believe Maverick was an eye opener. I printed it for my Republican mother to read.
