ysobelleSomeone on the Wench board made a post about how absolutely wonderful it is that we finally have a black major-party candidate for President.
I posted this:
It IS great. It IS an incredible moment.
And I'd be ecstatic about it, except that the old guy who drives the van around my complex at night-- he's Korman's idea of "security"-- just told me that Barack Obama supports killing babies. Literally. Babies. That if something goes wrong with an abortion, the mother should still be allowed to kill her living baby. Barack Obama voted in support of this. And he was absolutely serious.
This is a guy who admitted he does none of his own research. He listens to the radio, and just believes whatever he hears. He doesn't read, he doesn't look things up. And no matter who you're going to vote for, doesn't your candidate deserve more than that?
Sigh. I'm sorry. We have such potential in American politics. And we so seldom reach it. We've made such a wonderful step today, but there's so much more that just isn't being done.
