I don't get it?

Okay we're back in MN now. MN has always been the bastion of Democrats as long as I can remember. Yet they are saying it's a swing state? What the heck happened while I was gone?

I was talking to an old friend last night (she gave me a ride home because Mary was auditioning and got a callback for the lead today) about this very thing. My friend is a Democrat. Most of the people I know are Democrats in point of fact.

Obviously God likes Kerry and is still really pissed off about the last election as evidenced by the hurricanes pounding the crap out of Florida. God's never been shy about things like pissing God off and the inevitable consequences of doing that. So don't be pissin’ God off is the message there. Believe it heathens.

Look, I'm all about the individuals right to choose -but why in the hell would anybody vote for George W. Bush? Have they been asleep the last four years? Bush is a draft dodging, lying, fake Christian. Why would you want that kind of person in charge of anything other than middle management of a Burger King?

We are experiencing the worst economic slump in 75 years. We're at war with a country that hates us more than Viet Nam ever did. The main argument of the Republican party against John Kerry is that he “flip-flops”. What the hell? I’ve heard far more convincing arguments from my nine year old on the playground. Not to mention the fact that the Republicans are taking most of that out of context anyway.

Everybody that I've asked why they like George Bush say things like this; "Well, he supports not having abortions." Okay but once the fetus has been born he doesn't seem to have any problem waiting 18 years and sending them over to Iraq to die? He's done that over a thousand times now. Also I've never understood how you could be pro-life and and pro-death penalty? Or is that just me that's confused?

One guy told me he’s voting for Bush because “he’s from California and that’s where Ronald Reagan was from”? What the hell does that even mean?

The Pastor at the church I used to go (before they decided Mary was a harlotic <---made up word, I hope it catches on all you harlots/heretics ;^) said that if Kerry got elected he might put Ted Kennedy in the administration. Again, so what? What's wrong with Ted Kennedy? I mean he drinks a lot and is related to quite a few rapists but the people of Massachusetts seem to keep electing him. As far as I know he hasn't drowned anybody in long, long, time.

The conclusion I've come to is that the people voting for Bush are either a) really, really, stupid and uninformed, b) really scared of terrorists, Satan, Muslims, (look I’m not unerringly sure what they are scared of), or c) they work for Halliburton.

I don’t know, maybe on the drive back to MN I slipped into the Twilight Zone or something?

So I'm putting that out there. A vote for Bush is a vote for stupidity. So go ahead and vote that way, stupid.
