Remember when a friend of yours was so excited to introduce you to his new girlfriend, or her new husband? And you met them, saw them together ... and proceeded to get a twisted, sinking, sick feeling in your stomach, BECAUSE they reminded you of their previous love. The one who so let them down, so hurt them deeply and did irreparable damage to your dear friend.
That's how I'm feeling for my Republican "friends" as their new guy comes into the picture. Some are already married to him, but for those who are just in the dating phase... look again.
Last week it was McSame, this week's message seems to be McChange. Really? Change? John McCain?
In a divided country, with the stakes so high, I dare to say that even Republicans deserve better than McCain/Palin. I am hopeful that they are more intelligent and concerned than their candidates think.
So IF there are any Republicans reading this blog, I am concerned for your party and for your next relationship. I know that the previous one had to be disappointing, had to hurt and was even a bit embarrassing. So don't let this next one be a rebound relationship that you (and the world) will live to regret. I can tell you, you have had some bad luck at picking the best candidate. Perhaps this is a time for an arranged marriage, a matchmaker called in to point you in the better direction. You know what they say, sometimes those that care about you, know what's best for you.
Laurie, it is not only preposterous, it is just frightening. Her reply to Charlie Gibson was gibberish. Gibberish that she's been filled with for the last week and a half by her handlers. Be afraid, I know I am.

Great post. You asked about Sarah Palin. She is not even remotely qualified for the job. The idea of Sarah Palin as POTUS is preposterous. If you haven't seen it, here's a great column addressing her pairing with McCain: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/07/opinion/07rich.html?em

Oh, and the answer to McWhat? is McBush. I just ordered two bumper stickers with McBush on them. At least it will keep them guessing, if they are shrub supporters.

Hi Kalliope, great post. Putting it in terms that most can relate to is a brilliant approach. Isn't this whole thing interesting? I have started to really enjoy the trolls and their posts on my blog. I keep your comment firmly in mind - we really need to see and understand where they are coming from in order to best deal with them.
