Well, I wonder if she has spontaneously combusted yet? That is something I would like to see.

The greatest argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter.

I kind of want to watch her say “homosexual” just to see if it causes her to vomit violently.

Man, that’s some tasty crazy right there. Lady, if you want to help, hush up and vote.

Almost as crazy as what comes out of Joe Biden’s mouth these days. The man’s an overclocked Gaffebot, and he makes Sarah Palin look presidential.

The worst part of that video is the way that she is obviously disgusted just by the name. In her mind, all you have to do is say the words “President Obama” to know that he is bad news.

I wish I could round up all the people who are genuinely frightened by Obama’s “otherness,” get them to articulate exactly what they are afraid will happen if Obama is elected president, write it all down, and then read it back to them in four years, just for the laughs.

PS – Wow, she’s horrible. What happened to “Love thy neighbor”? Or do people with Muslim/Atheist parents not count as neighbors? I must have missed the part in the scriptures where Jesus said “Love everyone EXCEPT people who are foreign, or have different points of view, or different beliefs, or funny names, or who look at you like you’re crazy…” I’ll have to re-read the New Testament, I guess.

“Nothing Romney said in the primaries led me to believe he had any idea how to fix the economy. Many of the problems we face, after all, were created by the too-clever-by-half financial wizards who thought they had all the answers. Most of them were slaves to their ideologies or otherwise blind followers who ended up being caught by forces beyond their control or understanding.”

@ Bill: I’m not sure how Romney would have turned out if he’d gotten the nomination, but based on the good things he did with health care and the economy in Mass., he has a pretty good record for getting things fixed. If anyone could have fixed the financial mess this country is in (and while Bush was in charge, yes, let’s not forget that it was the Democrats pushing the high-risk mortgages – there’s blame for everyone as far as I’m concerned), I think there’s a good chance Romney could maybe have done it. But we’ll never know now. I just hope whomever is elected doesn’t make things TOO much worse…

If anybody needs to see crazy folks for Obama, just look up William Ayers or Reverend Jeremiah Wright. The difference is Obama chose these men as his mentors and advisers. If McCain chose this lady as his mentor and came to listen to her preach for 20 years, then I might think something is up with voting for McCain. Strange, liberals don’t apply the same logic to Obama.

To come clean, I’m not voting. I hate both McCain and Obama. I just think the double standard is funny: look, crazy people like McCain. Obama chose, was mentored by, and followed crazy people for years and years. Obviously, we should vote for Obama. McCain doesn’t have enough crazy, I guess.

Cameron H. Said: “As horrifying as this woman�s comments are, I sometimes wonder if all our erudite discussions of foreign relations and taxation aren�t just a thin veneer pasted over our own equally ridiculous, deep-set belief systems.”

Ding ding ding ding ding! You oughta get a gift certificate or something out of that. In a world of subjectivity and differing perspectives and experiences, the odds that we really believe what we “believe” are next to nil. The taller candidate with the best hair almost always wins more popular votes – am I expected to believe he/she always had the best politics?

“I dream of a day when the words �liberal,� �Democrat,� �conservative,� and �Republican� are merely descriptions, never to be employed as insults.”

David, good luck. The continued existence of Democrats and Republicans hinges on the idiotic high school rivalry we’ve got going in our nation’s politics and throughout our citizenry. I also like the idea that a liberal can be attacked for having a “liberal bent”, but that being a militaristic, American exceptionalist pighead is unbiased behavior to be celebrated.
