The Daily Show: Fear on Both Sides of the Aisle

I love being partisan. As a gay male I feel I have no choice but to be partisan. I vote Democrat because Republican's scare me.

The Daily Show had an interesting segment showing Obama rallies and McCain rallies and the common thread they both share. Fear.

Of course the Daily Show....trying to be "balanced" showed that the Obama supporters where scared for more rational reasons. While the GOP where scared over completely ficticious things. Like Obama being a secret muslim terrorist socialist Arab.

I do have to say, that for the first time in my life; the old "turd-sandwhich" vs douchebag analogy (well not so old...4 years old) does not apply in this case.

Obama was a long shot. I attended bake sales for Obama. Donated to the campaign. (10 bucks but hey I'm out of school and still unemployed) and have never seen so much excitement over a candidate in my whole life.

Sure Obama may have backtracked on some of his more progressive roots in order to please the mainstream. But so too would Ron Paul if he had been lucky enough to get the Republican nomination. But nobody has sold his soul to the devil more than John McCain. A fiscal conservative/social liberal who's become a social conservative and can't decide whether or not hes still a fiscal conservative and de-regulator or someone willing to take on all the bad debt with tax payer money.

John McCain pisses me off. All conservatives do. But when John McCain plays victim and underdog...with his false sense of modesty; you know he believes the presidency is his birthright.

In the spirit of devisive, partisan politics (which is very fun when you're a gay man living in California; fearing Prop 8, fearing for the future of the Supreme Court) I have posted a picture of McCain after the second presidential debate. In which he made fun of Obama as he exited the stage. What a grumpy old ass.

Sarah Palin Porno: On Shelves Now!

This political atmosphere is making me very very partisan. I actually take great pleasure in really hating McCain and Palin. Particularly because the only people left who support them are the conservative fringe. The so-called "Real America." Where ignorance is bliss and everyone falls into line.

And say what you will about Larry Flynt, but he has just released a Sarah Palin porno. And although I think it's pretty tasteless; I have a copy of the script for one of the scenes from the upcoming "Drill Here, Drill Now."

Very clever and well written (for a porno). There is some bad language. And I cannot be held responsible for any of the disturbing images that may enter your head while reading this excerpt. But here goes:

PALIN: Who is it?

GRUFF MALE VOICE: It's JOE, the tanning-bed repairman.

(PALIN unlocks the door and opens it)

PALIN: Hiya! You were supposed to be here two hours ago, doncha know?

JOE: I'm sorry. My snowmobile broke down outside of Matunska. I had to walk the rest of the way.

PALIN: Well, you're in luck. I just baked a batch of chocolate-chip cookies. Why don't you come inside and I'll fix you a plate of 'em?

(JOE obliges. He takes a seat on the couch. PALIN enters the kitchen and returns shortly after with the cookies. She gives them to JOE, but not before looking him up and down.)

PALIN: My oh my. That's quite a toolbelt you have on. It looks heavy.

JOE: I have a big hammer.

PALIN: Oh, I betcha do. I love a big hammer. But I love screwdrivers, too! And wrenches. The fact is I love and respect all of America's diverse tools, big and small. They're what helps make us so great as a nation. Here, let me take that off for ya.

(PALIN takes a seat on the coach beside JOE and starts to undo his belt. He stops her.)

JOE: Let's go take a look at the tanning bed first.

PALIN: Oooh, okay.

(PALIN leads JOE to the tanning salon in the basement. JOE carefully inspects the machine.)

JOE: Looks like there are just a bunch of screws loose.

PALIN: (seductively) You're in luck. I fully support off-shore and on-shore drilling.

(PALIN pounces on JOE and throws him onto the top of the tanning bed. She quickly rips off his jeans.)

PALIN: God almighty! You are hung like a moose. Now I have to eat ya!

JOE: I'm bigger than a moose. Do you have any contraceptives?

PALIN: It's okay. I already took a morning-after pill.

JOE: Um, are you sure it works that way?

PALIN: Are you asking me if I know what a morning-after pill is? Because I totally do! I'll get back to ya with specifics.

(The two proceed to make furious love in a multitude of positions. PALIN amply demonstrates that she has enough experience.)

PALIN: Fuck me harder! HARDER! Pound me until my head is so empty that I can't even remember the name of the one Supreme Court case I actually know! I want it to burn. Burn like a banned book. Oh God, Oh God, OH MY GOD! MAKE ME SEE RUSSIA FROM HERE!

(After 10 minutes, the two finish.)

PALIN: Wow-eee. I haven't had a ride that good since Todd took me for a spin on the back of his Yamaha at the Tesoro Iron Dog.

JOE: That was amazing. What now?

PALIN: I feel so alive! Let's grab my gay friend and go shoot wolves from the safety of a helicopter.

(End scene)

Obama to Win By Landslide

Wow. Looking at the current electoral map...Obama is set to win by a landslide.

Right now Obama is ahead with 268 electoral votes (according to polling data)

John McCain has 137. NOt only that but there are only 18 states leaning towards McCain. And then there are 97 electoral votes in places where its too close to call. Even if McCain got all 18 electoral votes in states leaning towards him AND all 97 electoral votes in the undecided states; he would still only have 252 electoral votes.

The only way McCain can win is to pick up 17 electoral votes from those states currently leaning towards Obama. Those are the real battleground states. Virgina, Colorado, New Mexico and Minnesota.

The news couldn't be better. I'm actually excited and full of hope. This could actually happening. Change is a -comin'

Googld what the fuck?

My blog is now being sponsored by anti-Obama pro-Republican sites. LOL. If they want to pay for me to give my left wing views then fine. :) HAHAHA

KTLK - LA Affiliate of Air America Explains Position

KTLK, the Los Angeles affiliate of Air America has been taking advertising from the No On 8 Campaign. I wrote to complain and this is what they said:

"Election laws dictate that as a media outlet we must carry the advertising of any candidate, proposition or measure that is on the ballot - if they choose to be on our station.

No matter how much we disagree (and we do) with their position, we must run their commercials.

Unfortunately, the No on 8 campaign has decided not advertise on KTLK thus giving the Yes on 8 campaign total unopposed access to our audience."

That is very unfortunate. I suppose the No On 8 campaign doesn't want to spend money preaching to the choir but progressives have the power to stop 8 since we are the bulk of the electorate here in California. If progressives don't take time to pay attention or see it as big of a problem, they could become passive. And the religious hicks in Californias red inland could see this passed.

Right now support of Proposition 8 is swelling on the polls. According to Andy Humm and Ann Northrope of GAY USA. Support for the proposition was lagging in polls just weeks ago but a new crop of ads featuring a defiant Gavin Newsome seems to have pissed off a fair bit of people.

This is disasterous news. Please get the word out NO ON 8

Cindy McCain Thinks People Shouldn't Change their Ideas About Race...Excuse me?

Coming up in the newest issue of Good Housekeeping magazine; are interviews with both Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain.

One thing really struck me though about this article though. Both candidates where asked if they think their campaigns changed the perceptions of race. Cindy responded:

"I think it’s a phenomenal age of politics because there are many firsts in this race. But I don’t think it has changed – nor should it change – the way people look at race. I think Americans are good-hearted, open-minded people and race doesn’t enter into this – at all.”

"Nor should it change"? I guess when the only tactic you have left is to demonize your opponent and scare people from voting for him; that you don't want the racists in this country to change their perception of race.

Freudian slip? It's quite obvious Mrs McCain is saying..."stay racist America. My husband needs your votes."

And if you read any of the comments posted by McCain supporters on sites like Youtube and the Huffington Post....it's quite obvious that those who vote for McCain are doing so out of hatred and fear of Obama.

The McCain campaign is playing to that and it scares me to my core, that he could be enciting his supporters to violence against Obama and his supporters.

The secret service is already investigating someone at a McCain rally who yelled "kill him." (in reference to Obama) McCain, his wife and Palin are hate mongers. Worse than Bush who was a fear monger. They are not only fear mongers but also playing on peoples racism. They're playing with fire. And turning off a lot of independant voters in the process

McCain's mud slinging and enabling the racist minority

The most disgusting thing about the current comments made by Sarah Palin with the support of John McCain; is that they are scaring people about Obama to win the election, but they could end up scaring racist rednecks into trying to murder Obama.

Obama is already at risk as an African American. If he wins; and Palin's racist fear mongering rhetoric resonates with the disinfranchised, uneducated rural whites...Palin and McCain will have blood on their hands.

It's one thing to attack someone on the issues. But to attack them and incite violence against them through blatant lies and half truths?

I have lost all respect for the McCain Palin ticket. And I no longer feel sorry for Palin. She is a dickhead of the highest order.

On a happier note:

Obama wiped the floor with McCain at today's debates.
