The McCain Dichotomy
Edited on Thu Oct-16-08 01:32 AM by msallied
"Congratulations Joe the Plumber! You're rich! You've just achieved the American Dream! I want you to be able to keep your money and do whatever you want with it! The government shouldn't be able to tell you what to do with your money! Government is too big! It's evil!"

"Congratulations, Ma'am! You're pregnant! You've just accomplished the one thing women were built to do! Have babies! What do you mean you have 'health problems' and the pregnancy could endanger your life and your doctor's recommending you abort? Well, I'm going to make sure that the government is able to do everything it can to tell you what you can or can't do with your body. Because that's what government is supposed to do!

But maybe I can still help. What's your tax bracket?"

2. Another of my many reasons I don't vote Republican.
That they value money over the lives of the people who are sharing this planet with them.

3. We have to watch out for voter suppression . They have already
been active in disinformation and will so anything to win.

Email going around, that if you don't vote separate for Obama and vote straight Democratic ticket your vote for Barack will not count. It's criminal!!
