It's scary, it's funny.

It's funny to watch this election, it's scary to think there are such zealots on the Right. People still say 'we can win it' for McCain, people still insist 'they're close on polls!' it's scary how diluted people are. They don't get that for McCain to win the electoral college he has to not only win every last battleground state, but also turn some states from blue to red, in four days. Yea, don't worry, he can still win. It's funny, people on the Right were just fine when Gore lost the election after winning the popular vote, claiming 'that's the system of America!' Now. when McCain loses because he hardly has any Electoral Votes how many of these 'that's the system' people will be screaming fraud? Remember kids, it's ok when we do it, but if those Dems do it it's WRONG. Fanny/Freddy bailout was ok, but any OTHER kind of Socialism is evil.

So, Joe the Fake Plumber who Owes Back Taxes and Sarah seem to be working hard to kill the McCain campaign, I'm thinking of sending them a cookie bouquet. First Joe makes his comment that Obama will mean the end of Israel, cause you know, them thar A-rabs is all tha same. Even Shepard Smith of Fox News had the moral integrity to say 'ok....no he's said over and over Israel will always be a friend of America', Shepard is one of the few Fox anchors I can watch without wanting to scream, and continues to be one of the few truly balanced anchors there. Then, Joe decides he doesn't want to appear at a McCain event, which is fine, the man isn't a politician and really it was McCain who dragged him into all this, he has every right to say 'nah, I don't want to do that' when asked to be paraded around as a mascot. The problem is he didn't feel like even texting McCain about this decision, leaving McCain introducing a man who wouldn't be showing up. What really gets me and so many other people upset is that he's got this attitude of 'Welp I'm just a normal guy and no expert so don't take me as some educated source....but let me run my mouth off anyway, make sure that camera's on me'. Think Joe likes Chocolate Chip?

McCain likes to get offended when people question Joe on anything, becoming outraged that they dare to drag him into all this. Yet, he's the one who constantly invokes him, he's the one who puts out 'I am X the Y' ads, and he's the one with no true respect for the common man. McCain switched to this plumber crap because Palin's constant invocation of 'Joe Six Pack' finally got offencive. Seeing as that name directly references the idea that your average working man drinks a six pack nightly, I'd understand most people don't like being associated with that. So now McCain is trying to identify with the common man by resorting them to a one word description. What happened to "I'm Joe the plumber who enjoys classical music and has an expensive doctor bill to pay?", what happened to "I'm Mike the builder who collects vintage advertisement products but also has kids in public school and want the best for them?". No, these new mastheads of the Republicans are a cold, bureaucratic form of a person. "Joe the Plumber" "Mike the Builder" "Ron the Rancher" "Dora the Explorer" What's funny though is there's no "Ryan the Professor" "James the Doctor" "Bill the Lawyer", why? It's the same thing the McCain campaign says Obama does, class hatred. Except they hate the upper class, so it's ok. If Obama came out with an ad saying 'look forget what Joe the Plumber has to say here's James the Doctor his opinion is all that matters' he'd be burned at the stake, but McCain saying 'don't pay attention to those people with fancy degrees and jobs, here's Joe the Plumber, only he matters' is ok. Remember, it's cool to support class warfare, but only as long as it's to the upper class, screw them and their positions of respect...they vote Democrat.

What is scary is the raw hate and vitriol being thrown by McCain supporters. I mean real hate, I don't mean normal partisan anger, I have no problem with 'yea well screw Democrats, buncha jerks' or whatever in election years, that's how it's always been. What scares me is cries of "KILL HIM" about Obama at Palin rallies, McCain being booed harshly just for saying Obama has good qualities, people who scream "SOCIALIST" at Obama and refuse to shake his hand on the trail, and of course the classic cries of 'He's a Muslim' or 'he's a Commie!' What makes me laugh though is the cries of evil for not keeping the theoretical agreement he made to accept only the federal money, this agreement made during the time he was 'that black dude' and nothing more in the race, when he had near no support. Yes, how dare he not hobble himself by keeping a purely theoretical idea he made in the days when the federal money was the biggest 'donation' he could expect. Remember though, these are the people who scream 'WE DESERVE TO KEEP OUR MONEY' at any ideas of taxing the wealthy, but Obama doesn't deserve the money he made, he's a Democrat.

Do you know the difference between Obama and McCain? Obama's 'profiles' of working people in his thirty minute ad were actually a look into the person's life and ideals and problems. McCain just sticks with 'this is Joe, he's the plumber', that's all he needs. Who do YOU want in this comparison?
