My Head Is going To Explode

United Health Care is pressuring their employees to pressure their Senators to vote against the Health Care Reform Bill. That's over 75,000 people. A quote from the memmo is "you won't be on our team".
This is illegal. Who cares? I do and you should. I last of all will say all Democrats are perfect civil minded angels, but when the Republicans play with peoples lives this isn't right.
Oh by the way, Sarah "Going Rogue" Palin seems to be acting like she's the new leader of her party. I for one hopes she gets the Republican nomination in 2012. That will fulfill the Mayan prophecy AND make Mr. Obama's victory even more of a landslide than 2008.

Are the Republicans Crazy or Just Insane?

Tuesday 11/05/09 was Election Day and the Republican Party picked up some wins that had been lost. A couple of states that were big for Obama in '08 scored Republican wins. These wins were mostly by moderate candidates that actually sounded like sensible adults.
Chris Christie in NJ won by not doing much yelling (see R. Limbaugh for example) and Corzine came across as a whiner because of his blitz with negative ads. That''s one thing about running a negative ad campaign against someone, you sound like a whiner and nobody likes a whiner.
Even though these moderates won their campaigns some Republicans are trying to align themselves with the far right, like that nincompoop former Governor of Alaska and they're walking around with tea bags in their pockets for proof(Mark Kirk IL). They're doing this because SOME people at the top of the Party(Michael Steele) think they NEED this. Although I'm a registered Democrat, I have voted for Republican candidates and will continue to do so when I think they're the right person for the job. I just hope more Americans do the same.

Obama or Bust

I just joined up as a volunteer in Barack Obama's campaign. Why you may ask? This is why:
I am fed up with Republicans. Plain and simple. In 2004 when Kerry ran and lost I actually became physically ill when I found out that Bush had won. This was after the abortion of an election in 2000, that Gore won and yet lost anyway.
We are spending trillions of dollars on a war that was started to put Sadam's nose in the dirt because he threatened the life of Bush Sr. We have a private army (Blackwater) working for Bush Fils, run by a right wing, ultra-conservative, Bible-toting nut. They don't seem to be subject to any of the laws governing the rest of us and think torture is a valid info gathering tool.
None of the Republican candidates, including America's mayor Rudy, seems to have a clue as to what life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is all about. Any one that you turn to is either corrupt, power mad or both. Their sons don't go to Iraq, they espouse "family values" and are found with their pants around their ankles somewhere. And don't get me started on family values. A family is a man and woman. Must be because the Pope said so the other day. Doesn't matter if they're at each other's throats, fooling around on the side or taking care of the kids by sitting them in front of a TV and letting them watch what they want, so that they can write a letter to the FCC and tell them about how unsuitable the programming is.
So yeah, I'm volunteering to work for Obama. Maybe he's not perfect, but then again who is?
