Score One for ME!!!!
took a break at work, wandered down to the vending machine.

two guys from the production floor were discussing Obama and McCain. Guy-1 was trying to argue "logically" with Guy-2 and explain that Obama was 8 years old when Ayers was with weather undeground. Guy-2 kept expressing his "concern" about terrorists, Obama stealing old ladies's money (yeah, Guy-2 really said that), raising taxes, and hanging around with kooky pastors.

Guy-1 wasn't getting anywhere with logic. So I opened my big mouth.

"excuse me, couldn't help overhearing - but if you ask me this stuff that mccain and palin are pulling smells of desperation. they want you to be afraid, very afraid. remember all the 'terror alerts' after 9-11? remember how Saddam was going to nuke us when bush wanted to invade? remember how everytime bush's polling numbers went into the toilet - we had some sort of terror alert? - well - this is the same crap. it's fear and smear. it's the same old political game that bush and cheney and the republicans have pulled on us for the past 8 years."

guy-2 then brought up the fannie/freddie connections to obama

me: mccain has 83 lobbyists working for his campaign. the head of his campaign is a partner in one lobbying company that is still working for fannie/freddie, and receives $15,000 a month from them. Look there's 30 days or less until the election, mccain is dropping in the polls - he's desperate and will do everything and anything he thinks will help. he's changed the game, threw so many hail marys, and pulled so many stunts I'm surprised that anyone can take him as being credible. He's pulling anything and everything out of ass to make you afraid because he has nothing else to offer. a staffer on his campaign said if they talked about the issues they would lose.

I know he likes to think he's a maverick, but with the problems we have today - we don't want an erratic maverick running things - we already had that kind of cowboy managment and look where it's gotten us.

guy-1 gave me a big smile, turned to guy-2 'see that's what I'm trying to tell you, it's all about making you afraid.'

we gave each other a fist bump and said GOBAMA....

HEEEEE-HAAAAWWWW

1. Not the terra-ist fist bump
Guy-2 is probably calling the FBI on you as we speak.
