'Dem Crazy Republicans

So, anyone been watching the Republican crazy fest on tv? I swear, it just keeps getting better and better. First, we have the corpse-oh, I mean John McCain. What a sad life he has. Doesn't know how many houses he owns-oh wait, how many his WIFE owns. People, this isn't like my hubby not being able to tell someone how many pairs of earrings I own. A house isn't a whim purchase for a person. It sure wasn't for me! He is married to Plastic Surgery Barbie. Come on, I'm sure her surgeon is on speed dial (Oh, one of my boobs fell off-again!)

Cindy McCain is a very wealthy woman. She is not a self made business woman, her father died and left her the business. "Oh, but she increased the profits by a lot!" You know why? The population of Phoenix has doubled since her father died...more customers, more sales. She is a recovered adict. She was addicted to pain meds. You know how she got them?? Ms Philanthropy STOLE them from donated medication that was going from her foundation to third world countries. Love that charity!

John McCain of today is not the McCain of 2000. 2000 McCain would have kicked this bozo's ass! Every strong stand he had he has completely reversed to placate to the extreme christian right. How sad that he had to trade his ideals for a run at the presidency. You know what they should call this campaign? A retirement gift.

McCain is 72 years old. Let me repeat that, McCain is 72 years old. He has had not one or two but FOUR bouts with cancer. Four. He suffered 5 years of torture. Torture wears on a body and takes years off life span. All that, and he tapped Sarah Palin for VP. The ONE TERM governor of Alaska. She is pro gun, pro life, pro war, pro home schooling, pro drilling and the best one of all, anti sexual education. She thinks that abstinance only should be the ONLY sex ed kids get in school. Why oh why can't they learn one very basic and simple fact of the human condition-YOU CANNOT LEGISLATE MORALITY.

She and the whole bunch are such filthy hypocrytes. Abstance only doesnt work. She has proof of that IN HER HOUSE! Her 17 year old unwed daughter is pregnant. I thought good little christian girls waited...hmmm. Their response, "she is marrying the father, we are so happy for her, life happens, it is a private family matter". Who the hell are they kidding with that crap! Imagine for just a moment if it were Joe Biden's daughter in the same situation. Would they "respect his private family matter?" Oh HELL NO. They would be all over it like stink on poop! "What kind of a leader would he be, he cant even lead his family"....

They have succeded in making me ill.

Let me be very very basic.
Obama is a strong candidate. He chose Joe Biden, a statesman who has been in the senate LONGER THAN MCCAIN. Where Obama was weak, Biden is strong. They will work well together to move this country out of the pit the Republican's have dug.

McCain is a 72 year old 4 time cancer survivor. He was shot down while serving in Vietnam. He was tortured for 5 years. He chose a first term governor as a vp. Her foreign policy experience is control of a 24,ooo person national guard. She listed the PTA on her qualifications for vp. She was for the bridge to nowhere. She was a member of a group who were working for Alaskan independence-that means she wanted Alaska to LEAVE THE UNION! Love that patriotism...
Do you really want a person with this resume a heartbeat (of a 72 year old man) from the white house?

I'd put the bet on Biden any day of the week. Let the crazy sessionist soccer mom get about 15 years more of experience before putting her in this position.

I wonder if the Republicans really believe we are so stupid to vote for them just because they role out "TERRORISTS ARE GONNA GET YOU." Meanwhile our economy is tanking, gas is over $3.50 a gallon and our soldiers are dying in a war that should never have been in the first place. A family member of mine is going for a third tour in Iraq...

I know where my vote is going, do you?

Open Letter to my Brother

Hey man, Happy Birthday! Im sorry, your card is coming but will be a little late-typical me huh?

Well, I wanted to say something to you. We've known each other a long time (and keeps getting longer every year!) We have been through a lot together. How many screaming fights, you took this, I did that, etc etc. I wanted to tell you how proud I am of you. You have grown into such a wonderful man. Caring, loving, responsible, honest, honorable. This is you.

The journey of life is amazing. We have to travel a long and sometimes hard road to get to where we are going. You've had a rocky road getting to where you are. I think God sometimes has to test us to see if we are ready for the good parts of life. Your first marriage was part of the path to find your soulmate. Without the difficulty of the first you wouldnt have been ready to recognize how wonderful your wife is. She is everything the first wasnt.

You are a daddy. You remember how hard things were growing up with our father. Thankfully he is so different now. Now he is a dad too. I've always said there is a difference between a daddy and a father. Your girls have a daddy.

The man you have become is what all men should strive for.

I sit here crying. I know you are being deployed to Iraq again in a month. It breaks my heart that you are going to miss Emily's birth. I am scarred for you even though you tell me I shouldn't be. It's silly to even tell us not to worry as you know that is impossible. I will just have to send lots of Cheetos, Pringles, batteries and bug spray. I hope you liked all the magazines and books. Ive started looking for books already.

Mom thinks I dont pray. I pray every day for your safety and prompt return. I pray for an end to this stupid war. I pray for hope. I pray for you.

I love you so much. Be safe, be careful, be alert. Most important, never stop being you.

Happy Birthday Bro!
Your sister
