Gee thanks, Edwina. I can’t speak for Star, but I know I had a lot more friends when I was supporting Hillary. Obamacans were always hostile, but when I defected to McCain no one talked to me anymore. :) Hah! A few yelled at me tho and decided I was stupid. heh heh heh. This doesn’t bother me personally, but I do worry for the future of women. Sexism is embedded in the very crust of our evolving social structure and many younger women are unfortunately feeding the hate. I know I confuse some bloggers because I actively criticize Republican policies while deciding to vote for McCain (used to be a diehard Dem.) But I see a larger picture unfolding here and I have no problem with a bold vote. I think McCain could be an extraordinary president, that is… if he can dump the Rove machine once he takes office. (This is, of course, a big if.) The pitbull with lipstick has useful skills if kept in line, but the Dem ticket is risky and dangerous in my opinion, on many, many levels. It’s the top of the ticket that worries me. From domestic to foreign policy, to sexism, to the very foundation of our Democracy and the voting system. I know that Biden’s message was McSame, McSame, McSame last night. But frankly I have always viewed Obama as much more Bush-like than McCain. Dirty, corrupt campaigns make for corrupt administrations which lean towards dictatorships. And Bush is the prime example of this. Winning isn’t enough. Winning well, winning fairly, is. I am soooo disappointed in the pansy-arsed alien-eyed Dem leadership these days… Pelosi and Dean have to go!
