      They want us to be scared, and demoralized...this is how
they dampen voter turnout. They sow doubt and make us think we
can't win. FUCK IT. We can win, we will win, and to hell with
hand wringing. 
      She looks good on paper...perky, likeable, pretty,
popular in Alaska, supposedly a spunky, tough-as-nails
reformer and maverick.
      This is the image the RNC will try to sell...but here's
the stark bitter truth.
Politically, she is to the right of BUSH and CHENEY. Right
now, nobody knows her or her views, but they are positively
toxic, and they WILL COME OUT.
      When people realize how much of a fundie nutjob she
really is, they will be turned off by her. Fundies and
hard-core conservatives will lover her...but any moderate with
a hint of a brain will be afraid of what her as president
could do to this country. She will not pick up Clinton
supporters by standing for the exact opposite of everything
that Clinton stood for. She won't appeal to middle America
with political views that are to the right of what most
Americans think. 
      We just need to let Obama and Biden handle it, and her,
they know what they're doing. I'm sick of all the
hand-wringing. All the whining that the election's going to be
stolen for sure. 
      FUCK DEFEATISM AND PESSIMISM AND CRYING AND MOANING
LET'S WIN THIS FUCKING THING.
      ...incidentally, if they DO somehow win, I will pray for
McCain's health and well being every single night. The idea of
her as president scares me far far far more than McCain
himself or even Cheney.
