HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
That was a button I saw a RNC conventioneer sporting on the vaulted RNC Day 2. This convention is much more hilarious than the DNC and due to hurricanes, and the fact McCain doesn't want to be seen celebrating during a potential tragedy(ies), the RNC is all truncated and hurried up. Not that they have anything to say anyhow as they are suddenly pretending to be non-partisan and have "taken off their 'republican' hats and are wearing their American hats" so from what I have seen less direct red-meat. No giant flip-flops or purple band-aids this year as they happen to be running a veteran flip-flopper. American hats, it turns out, are either giant, cat-in-the-hat style, American flag hats or cowboy hats and glasses and being over 50 are also ideal. Cowboy hats also appear easier to take off and wave or toss when they tell their fibs about how they are not going to raise taxes and essentially do the same shit Obama's campaign says but with more P.O.W. experience.
I pretend to hate this party and it's people but it is hard to do as they really do make me smile. We need these types every bit as much as we need smoking nut liberals but the liberals admittedly are a more depressing sort while all these, down-home, 'Merican, family valued types are hilarious! I just want to have a slice of apple pie, sit on the porch with a thumb in my belt loop, spit, and talk about Jesus. Sadly, that ain't going to accomplish much as we have just witnessed over the last 8 years and most of the 1980s but not that you would notice it when you watch them in hat/flag waiving action. According to what I saw this is an extraordinary election because of the extraordinary candidate...John McCain. See? HILARIOUS!!! That guy is extra ordinary to be sure but; next to what I saw last week (albeit while filled with doubts) I am ever more confident that the sugary sweet (artificial sweetner and flavor added...Sorkin style!) winds of change may keep all the way through November and maybe we just will see that first black president after all?
Then, after a few months, everything (economy, deficit, wars, et. al.) will become Osama bin Obama's fault. The uber-right, professional garbage spewers (Limbaugh, Hannity, etc.) will surely have lots to say and a new(old) dynamic will emerge. It may be like the worst of Carter or Clinton rolled into one quagmirish nightmare?!?! Though hopefully this JFK feeling a lot of us seem to be getting may also "stick," as it were, and maybe...just maybe...Things might get a little better?
