McCain made his own bed when he signed on to that monstrosity of a “bailout.” And a million times before that. I’ve posted no vanities about and I have no plans to, but I’m pretty seriously pissed off, so pardon me if I need to vent a bit.
Hey I’m not happy about the Bailout either.
There were 73 others who voted ‘Yea’ on it.
Joe Biden & Barack Hussein Obama voted for it, yet everyone is hammering McCain.

I don’t like his stand on amnesty either. But look at what Obama will do with illegals, hell he may well be one himself (see Berg w/r/t his enrollement in Indonesian schools, which would have citizenship as a requirement and subsequent immigration & naturalization to the US, all of which would make Obama ineligible)
So yes, a lot of us are unhappy about some things, but will vote for him anyway. Some grudgingly, some with the hope that maybe he’s not as bad as everyone, including a lot of people from the other side stoking the flames, would have us believe.
More importantly, there are other people out there who are affected by the relentless drumbeat of the media, and those are the folks that we need to support & reenergize.
If one needs to vent, I completely understand, but there is a point where it can drag others down. We can’t go there, not now, not for the next 30 days. After that, anything goes.
If it seems like rah-rah cheerleading, then maybe it is. And maybe some folks need a little bit of that every now and then. Hard to have the TV (idiot box that it is) on for more than an hour without being bombarded by negative noise. I keep my TV off (Internet’s more fun anyway ;) but a lot of people are getting swamped with it. And a lot of people are just looking for a little reminder that all is not lost, the media IS FOS, and this is a horserace that can be won.
