Wing Nuts

Ok, so I just got done having a "conversation" on myspace with a woman in Florida about politics.
She posted a bulletin about "left wing bullshit" and "a vote for Obama is a spit in the face of the brave souls who gave their lives for this country".
I have relatives who fought in wars and gave their lives for this country. If you listen closely, you can hear them spinning in their graves.

First, she trotted out the old chestnut "If you don't love this country, leave".
I wonder if she has a son-in-law called "Meathead".

She said that "Obama hasn't produced a birth certificate".
Well, a simple google search reveals that, yes, he has.

She said that, and I'm not kidding, "Obama may or may not be the Anti-christ" and to "dust off your bible and look it up".
I'm not going to dignify that with a response.

"Obama is a socialist", she says. "If you don't know the meaning of the word 'socialist', look it up."
I advised her that maybe SHE should look it up.
Asking the rich to pay their fair share in taxes while giving a break to the middle class is not socialism. I looked it up.

I strongly advise everyone to check out Crooks and Liars. And Daily Kos.
Sure, it's a strong "left" slant, but there's some stuff on there that everyone should see.

Just a weird thought....

I wonder if it's possible...
When McCain picked Palin as his running mate, his initial poll numbers went through the roof, momentarily.
Now the cry goes out, even from Republicans, to McCain to dump her.
Could it be possible that McCain is planning on dumping her a week or so before the election, hoping the shake-up will give his poll numbers a final jump before the election?
Geez, I hope I'm wrong...
