A Catch-22 for Values Voters
They hate everyone running for president (with the minor exception of huckleberry) so what will they do in November? I have no doubt that the religious zealots will instruct them what to do from their pulpits while continuing to enjoy their tax exempt status.

So much for the power of the relgious right.

1. I really hate the language used by these right wing assholes...
I'm a values voter myself, its just that my values are the complete opposite of their's. They believe in oppression, I believe in freedom. Too bad I don't have a candidate either. :(

2. Obviously you are not a patriot
and most likely hate your country. Because as we all know, only the religious right can be patriotic.

My candidate remains General Clark.

He is totally OFF the hook! He has verbalized some of the things I have only thought and it shocked me to hear it said out loud!

I don't agree with everything he says, but he definitely thinks outside-the-box.

4. There was some brief talk in the press....
That Huckabee and McCain might be working togethor. Yes the "values" voters don't like McCain so if Hucakbee and McCain were to form an alliance, then they could both benefit.

5. I stubbornly voted for Edwards last Tuesday
because I'm a values voter. I honestly don't give a shit what that other party does. They've proven themselves to be thieves and liars who use religious sheep to give them the numbers they need to steal from all of us.

Edwards got 2500 stubborn votes here. The difference between Obama and Clinton was 117 votes. I am hoping they look at those figures very, very carefully as they plan their campaign rhetoric and their platforms.

Undoubtedly, that other party will run McInsane as the father figure and have a religious nutcase as his sidekick. It won't fool anybody who doesn't want to be fooled, but it's McInsane's turn now that he's eaten shit for 7 1/2 years from the man who trashed his family, his career and his patriotism. The nomination is only his due.
