politics (really Sarah?)

i know, i know, i am rarely political. i don't like to get in fights with people about who's better than who, but most people know my political leaning. if you don't, it RAGING LIBERAL.
more importantly, there are few core things that i believe matter- making sure that those of the underclass get some help from the government, that people are "free to be you and me" (thanks Marlo Thomas) regardless of whether you are foolish enough to believe that war is a good thing or not, and that people in this country are entitled to a level-headed, intelligent president. (A novel idea...). Much like everyone else, though, i'm getting a little tired of the political fodder-- it's just getting to me. November 4th cannot come fast enough, sheerly for the fact that i am tired to hearing about McCain and Palin. they're behind in double digits in many states now, and they seem to be on their last leg; so much so that they are reverting to outright racist behavior in order to get their fear rhetoric across. the fact that the phrase "real, hard working American" (read WHITE) is spat out from their campaign as easily as "freedom" was in G-Dub's tenure is evidence to the fact that it seems they have nothing left to really say.
i'm by no means saying that Obama or anything other politician doesn't have their hangups, i get that. but the McCain campaign (and it's supporters) stop alienating the rest of America from the "Americans" you speak of. reading an Op-Ed in the Times today, the writer finally said something i can agree with to a degree http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/26/opinion/26rich.html?th&emc=th. while he talks a bit about the fact that we aren't all racists, which i can agree with to a point, he mentions that the "real Americans" McCain-Palin refer to aren't all bigots and won't automatically listen to their rhetoric. by palying merely to this faction of America they are alienating a majority of the population. news flash McCain: black people, Hispanic people, and gay people vote. in a particularly good quote: "Subtract all those players [black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and extended families of gay Americans] from the actual America, and you don’t have enough of a bench to field a junior varsity volleyball team, let alone a serious campaign for the Electoral College."
in the changing face of American demographics, the bigot-vote is just not big enough to win. you can't alienate a vast majority of Americans and expect the country to be unified. sorry Republicans.
i just pray that Nov. 5th i won't have to wear some sort of mourning garb to school if McCain wins. then i really will move to Central America.
