***Why I am wishing you to win this thing in a landslide*** (post from a friend)
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 10:56 AM by Northofyou
First of all, yes, I am a newbie... and I won't vote for Obama on November 4th ? Why do you ask? Because I can't! You see, I live North of the border (French Canadian), but a junkie for presidential elections, especially this one.

In 2004, I was dividing my time reading DU and Freerepublic (hey, don't judge me, it's free entertainment and worth a lot of laughs!). But this year, I cannot stand Freerepubic, it's a vile place where racism is rampant and where bad faith is a religion. Those people are sick. That Ayers stuff is incredible, I must admit I don't understand why, aside from here, people are not more angry about this pure McCarthyism billcrap from the right. Yesterday, I wanted to punch my computer screen while watchin Michelle Bachman... .. anyway...

To be honest I am 100 times more concerned and anxious about this election than the election we just got up here (what a snoozer that was...) Not that I am scared by a McCain Presidency, but scared shitless about the fact that a majority of Americans would consider him (and Moose Killer) better equipped to reinstate the United States standing in view of the world.

But now I am quite certain that won't happen. I will celebrate, up here, a victory. It won't be just a victory for the Democratic party, but a victory for your Country. Think about that on November 5th!

Hey, don't forget to vote... :-)

1. Thank you!
People are going to vote by the droves this time. Let's just hope those votes are counted.

And by the way, welcome to DU and I want to say it is such a comfort to know we have sensible neighbors flanking us on the north. We love ya, Canada!! :hi: We are doing all we can to realize the World's hopes for us on November 4th.

2. Thank you! I agree it's infuriating....
that others don't see the "pure McCarthyism" going on, especially in the last few weeks.

Glad you do, and glad you're visiting this site.

Welcome!

:hi:

5. Shameless self kick...
By the way... Collin on MTP did kick some ass. So, no way it's a bad thing his endorsement!
