Nervous Flop Sweats

by Angie [A Whole Lot of Nothing] on November 2, 2008

in Politics

My foot is shaking.

My stomach is in knots.

I can’t concentrate on anything.

I check HuffPo and Daily Kos 16 times a day.

I record every episode of Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow and watch listen to every word.

I’m so nervous/excited/obsessed with the election.

I’m starting to get flop sweats in my thigh creases.

Come on, Barack. You can DOOOOOO IIIIIIIITTTTT!!!!!!

You are pathetic. Have you even done any research on this guy and his past and his associations? Are you voting because your think it is cool because all the movie stars are doing it? Or the best one of all R v W which is the ace scare tactic in the hole when they want narrowminded women to revolt. Umm you think with all the Republican Presidents in office after all these years they would have overturned it. Nope but yet the dems pull it out every election year and the sheep go crazy. Google or youtube Jeremiah wright for instance and listen to just one of his hate filled tirades. Tell me he only said these things when obama wasn’t present. come on! He calls white folks “white devils”, If obama didn’t agree why would he spend 20 yrs listening to hime. If I went to a church or somewhere I didn’t agree with what was being said, I would leave. Look up his buddy william ayers. This guy even threw the first coming out party at his house when he was running for gov’t office. Inform yourself

[re=5625]Karen[/re]:

Dear Friend,

Thank you for joining the fight against the lies, false attacks, and smear campaigns targeting Barack Obama and designed to create fear and division at a time that calls for unity and solutions. No one of us can put an end to these attacks, but together we can set the record straight.

If you haven’t already, it’s important that you provide the truth to whoever passed along the smear that you reported. Refer to http://www.FightTheSmears.com to get the facts you need in order to fight back on a wide variety of smears.

Here are a few facts about Barack that you may want to pass on:
Barack Obama is working for middle class Americans. The Obama-Biden tax plan includes a tax cut of $1,000 for more than 150 million working Americans. The plan will also eliminate income taxes altogether for more than 7 million senior citizens who make less than $50,000 per year. Finally, Obama’s plan will provide an average of $500 to 10 million homeowners, the majority of whom earn less than $50,000 per year. http://www.barackobama.com/issues/economy/#tax-relief http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/url.cfm?ID=411693
Barack Obama will make healthcare affordable for your family. If you like your employer-offered healthcare, you can keep it — at a reduced cost. If you don’t, or you don’t have health care, you will have a choice of new, affordable health insurance options. You will not be turned away — regardless of preexisting conditions. Obama will help small businesses provide affordable health insurance to their employees with a Small Business Health Tax Credit. Read more about the Obama-Biden healthcare plan here: http://www.barackobama.com/issues/healthcare/
Barack Obama knows that the problems we’re facing in this election are too serious to let the politics of manufactured controversy and fake outrage dominate. He wants to bring our troops home from Iraq, so we can focus on Afghanistan and track down the terrorists who attacked us. And he’s proposed a detailed plan for using alternative energy sources to relieve America’s dependence on foreign oil within 10 years and put millions of Americans to work. See more about Obama’s plan for change here: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/planforchange_ad/
Despite many email smears claiming something else, Barack Obama is a committed Christian and an American citizen. After being raised by a single mother and by his grandparents in a modest household in Hawaii, Barack studied hard and won scholarships and loans to attend Columbia University and later Harvard Law School, where he became president of the Harvard Law Review. After law school, he returned to Chicago to give back to society as a community organizer and later as a civil rights lawyer and law professor. http://www.barackobama.com/learn/meet_barack.php
Please forward this to anyone you know who has received a smear email about Barack. Together we can make sure these negative and divisive attacks don’t affect this election.

Thanks for your help,
Obama-Biden Watchdog Team

The mental picture associated with the term “flop sweat” is something I could have lived without the rest of my life.

As for Karen, next time, leave your email address you fucking coward fuck.

Doesn’t “Karen” listen to what is said, apparently she has selective hearing (reminds me of my mother in law) only heard what they want to hear. Of course no one will be perfect, but the last democrat in the White House, just 8 years ago, left this country with a balanced budget, surplus in banks, unemployment at its lowest and country booming and we were NOT AT WAR with anyone……hummmmm…..do we really want to leave a REpublican in the Wahite House? Haven’t they messed us up enough!

OK, Let’s go over an elementary school lesson. Bills first go through the congress and then the senate THEN only THEN does it get passed to the President. Although they would love to point fingers at the President being this all evil being, the decision makers have been the senate and congress who are majority …wha?.. Let’s say it together DEMOrats. Thank you. All decisions during this administration has passed through the tough scrutiny of the dem party. It is easy to believe the hype when you just listen to the shiny celebs. Also, you would be away that the 2 party system was developed by out forefathers to have checks and balances in the system so that no one party would rule and the people would have fair representation. Dem president and dem house majority would equal socialism. Please look it up.

Without mentioning how much I made last year, I had to pay $72000 in taxes or 36% of my income because I am a small business owner. Under his plan I would have to pay MORE taxes to support the poor and welfare recpients who are bulking the system of millions each year (I know not all but ALOT). “redistribution of Wealth” crap is punishment for me who has risked everything and worked my ass off to make it this far for what? To suport others with less ambition. How is that fair? Tell me?

Also, If klinton would have taken care of the osama problem when he had the chance (numerous times) 9/11 would not have happened and we wouldn’t have had to go to war to defend ourselves. Also if klinton had not deregulated the mortgage industry we wouldn’t be in such a housing mess right now.

Hold on I had to giggle when the roboresponse say the osama- biden tax plan would give middle class americans a $1000 tax credit WOOHOOOO $1000 of my $72000 tax bill. Thanks, How freakin generous! What a great plan…where do I sign up…wait… I’ll just follow the mindless sheep and welfare recipient cause they are the only ones benefiting. I’d like to send osama a memo and ask him to give away his money and keep his grubby hands off of my hard earned money.

Karen – $72,000 is 36% of $200,000, which means that you would pay LESS taxes under Obama’s plan than McCain’s.

OK grammar nazis, I forgot I was posting a presponse on a mommy blog. I was also typing at record speed because I have a business to run and little time. You see that is what hard working folks do. They don’t only sit in from of the TV with kiddies to watch Yo GabbaGabba all day. klinton was the way I chose to spell it. I wouldn’t pee on them if they were on fire.
