My mother voted for Obama. It was the first time she has ever voted Democrat. I made sure to tell her how stupid she was when she voted, and I reminded her of that the other day when I asked her what she thought of "your boy" fucking us seven ways from Sunday for the next 10 years. I still stand by my vote for Ralph Nader. I don't think McCain had the right answers, and Obama sure as fuck doesn't.
You need to respect your mother regardless of how she voted.
Ralph Nader is as big a fucking moron as The ONE and the godless socialists. McCain didn't have all of the right answers (and I was plenty critical of him on this board) but he would have been a damn sight more pragmatic about this economic
shit-uation (and the gubment's role in it) than anyone else on the 2008 ticket.
What we really needed was the business acumen of someone with real world experience like Mitt Romney or even Rudy Giuliani; but Romney was torpedoed by the bigotry of Huckabee and Giuliani fucked up his campaign by focusing on Florida (ignoring all of the earlier primaries).
Now we're stuck with The ONE.
