Have you read this? Pinocchio-Nosed Protesters To Greet McCain In NYC – Members of a local New York City group plan to don Pinocchio noses to challenge Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin’s recent alleged spate of lies, joining a growing national outrage to what many Americans are calling ‘dirty’ campaign tactics.

And we don’t want to risk a moose rifle finger on the big red button, either.

Instead of focusing on his own platform from the outset McCain sent out his bloodhounds to bay and howl the most emotive, racist and bigoted crud I have ever read in my life. His advertisements make it clear that his campaign has been a smear Obama campaign from beginning to end.

Palin is under qualified, has glaring character flaws and has displayed a heavy handed gubnernatorial and mayoralty style in Alaska. The soccer mom stuff and the down home winking and chattiness does little to cover up that fact that she is not suitable to serve in this office. Good grief she cannot even pronounce English words properly so who cares that she’s an attractive woman? (I laugh when I hear people say she’s such a looker. It’s tempting me to post an image of myself because I’m older than she is. I’m by far better looking and I’m vain lol :P) . Her religious views and parental skills don’t impress me at all. Setting that aside, what is her platform aside from riding the same old Republican background and dragging her religious beliefs and family affairs into office with her?

I’ve spent a lot of time in the Blog Catalog political forum witnessing globalgirl’s paranoia and addiction to conspiracy theories that barely mask the bigotry that she is in denial about. Set in the context of her on again off again Christianity I find her outpourings agaisnt Obama to be unsubstantiated, poisonous and bearing no resemblance whatsoever to walking the talk.

TheBigRuskie is not the sharpest knife in the drawer ’tis true. Worse still is his deviousness that inclines him to post on non-issues trumped up by right wing Christian fundamentalists. He seems to lack the ethics to quote original sources and instead posts biased Christian bastardizations of news reports. He also lacks either the inclination or ability to discern his own fallacious statements and to communicate in a manner one would expect of a educated adult. The titles of his religious posts to the BC forums smack of the baying bloodhounds style of sensationalism designed to mislead that characterize the Republican camp, and yet, he postures that he’s not a Republican. One would have to be a fool several times over to believe that Christians in America are being persecuted. They are an elite that is endlessly trying to remove all separation of state and religion and Bush has been succesful when it comes to driving their wedge into the dark regions of policy.

Thanks goodness that there are sensible and civilized BC members posting to the BC forums as well. However, it’s too bad that they have to spend so many hours each day correcting the misbehaviors of others, some of whom, like csiuntac, who appear to have abandoned their former blogging in favor of camping out in that forum and spouting right wing vitriol for weeks on end.

One thing I can say for sure is that getting to know what the extreme right wing contingent Americans are truly like and how they think through Blog Catalog has been a learning curve. I’m astonished every day that such mean spirited and self centered people reveal that they typify those who will vote for more of the same old, same old Bush bullshit.

Rome is falling and those who can see that it is will vote for change. It will be difficult to affect change and it will take time but it can be done and ought to be done on behalf of the generations to come. The others have their heads do firmly implanted up their backsides that they fail to smell the stench they create will vote for the same old, same old.

Until recently, there has been an attitude of “I don’t care who wins” in America. The majority of Americans make a lot less than $250,000 you would think their voices would be heard. I think there was a hopelessness about it.

Education about who is doing what is important. In the area in which I live this does not typically happen. In my area people vote the way their parents do which means little to no research on the issues.

In the last election people were turned away because somebody felt they would vote democratic. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen again.
