*Sigh* I wish I didn't even have to write this blog. This blog has been rolling around in my brain after several days of news stories about various members of the GOP apologizing for making remarks about people being "un-patriotic" or "un-American" or "real Americans" and I had decided I was just going to let it slide. Then today I see this:
In case you can't read it the mailer says "Terrorists" on the front and on the inside it says (among other things) "Barack Obama. Not who you think he is."
RNC, are you shitting me? Send me a mailer about why your candidate is better, send me a mailer about why Obama's health care plan won't work, send me a mailer about what John McCain can do for me but seriously, I mean seriously, don't do this.
What is going on America? Have we completely forgotten that having two parties is a good thing? That having more than one candidate IS American? That we rely on differing opinions and ideas to balance our democracy? Furthermore, does either party realize that we have considerably large problems that we are counting on them to deal with and we want to hear from them about what they plan to do?
I realize that both parties are guilty of this business so I won't go into a continued GOP tirade but I think it's pretty clear who has employed this as their number 1 campaign strategy.
This un-patriotic socialist, terrorist vs. real American business is just blowing my mind. Apparently America we are so dumb that the only way to communicate with us is through scare tactics and divisive bullshit. Forget the issues, stop trying to figure out who has the best platform, just figure out which guy scares you the least and vote for him because thinking and talking about the issues is just too much work.
Obama & McCain, I have a message for both of you: QUIT THIS NONSENSE! Start acting like the Americans you are.
