Don't Just Get Mad, Fight Back

Okay, I have had it up to here!!!! I am sick of the McCain-Palin smears on Barack Obama. I am sick of the spineless journalists who refuse to fight and ask questions of the Republican ticket. I am sick of the media telling us what a wonderful mother Palin is. I am sick of McCain talking about change when he refuses to talk about issues.

Enough!

I am a 57 year old, college educated married woman and mother. Both of my daughters are grown. I'd rather stick a fork in my eye than vote for John McCain! (That would make a great bumper sticker!!!!)

There are some questions I'd like to ask both McCain and Palin.

>>>Here are my questions for McCain:
* If you support our troops so much, why have you voted against veterans' health care, time and time again?
* Why do you support health insurance paying for Viagara but not birth control pills? Do you have a personal interest in Viagara?
* Why have you repeatedly belittled, and insulted your wife?
* Why do you think you were able to get out of the Keating Five scandal?
* How long do you think that you'll keep troops in Iraq, if you're elected?
* How many house servants do you have?
* Do you really plan to tax health care benefits?
* What programs do you plan to cut to save money? Health care for children? Veterans' benefits? Road construction? Pre-school education? Cancer research? Just tell us.
* Why have you voted against equal pay for women? Do you believe in equality for women?
* Why have you had such a caustic relationship with families of MIAs (missing in action)?
* If you are such an honorable man, why do you continue to lie about your record?
* Why have you voted with President Bush 90%? What kind of grade would you give the Bush presidency???

>>>Here are my questions for Palin:
* Why do you think that polar bears should be removed from the endangered species list? Do you have a list of other animals you'd like to see removed from the endangered list?
* You had a press release telling everyone your teenage daughter was pregnant. Now you are parading your children around and have made them public figures. Did your daughter have abstinence only sex education? How well do you think that went?
* Do you think that you and your husband's membership in the Alaska Independence Party could be called treason and/or sedition? Do you still believe that Alaska should break off from the United States?
* Everyone knows that when you were mayor of Wasilla, you wanted to ban some books. What books would you ban? Why?
* You've been called racist. Why would people say that about you?
* Do you believe in the separation of church and state?
* Do you have a Nanny taking care of your infant child? Do you pay taxes and social security for your employee?
* You believe that a woman should not have the right to an abortion even if she was raped, it was incest, or her life was in danger. Alaska has some of the highest rates of rape and incest. If you were elected Vice President, how would you try to stop all safe and legal abortions?

You've heard from me. Get up, write a check for the Obama campaign (click here), and call your local Barack Obama headquarters and work for Sen. Obama. By the way, if you sign up online for the Barack Obama campaign, they'll actually get in touch with you. Don't let another minute go by. We've got to get Obama elected because otherwise we'll be stuck with you know what.
