John McCain: Openly Scoffing at Your Health

by Cara October 16, 2008

I believe that I speak for many American women when I say in response to last night’s debate (video below) that I do not want Senator McCain’s brand of “compassion,” and I sure as hell do not want his kind of “help.”  I do not need him to help me have the “courage” to let [...]

Campbell Brown: “Arab” is Not an Insult

by Cara October 14, 2008

Before a few weeks ago, I had never heard of CNN commentator Campbell Brown.  But her name seems to keep coming up lately, and the impression I’m getting is that she’s pretty cool.  Here’s some of her latest commentary about the “insults” that have been thrown at Barack Obama. Woman at rally: I don’t trust [...]

Palin Attacks Obama’s Record on Abortion

by Cara October 13, 2008

Apparently realizing that the whole racist “Barack Obama is a big meanie American-hating terrorist, and oh probably a Muslim too (oh no!)” line of attack was losing them more points than it was winning them — and you know, inciting hate-based violence — the McCain/Palin campaign has seemingly switched tactics again. On Saturday, Palin started [...]

The Racist Campaign

by Cara October 11, 2008

I’m not usually a Jezebel fan, but this is right on: The new hallmark of McCain and Palin rallies is anger: anger stemming from the increasingly likelihood of an Obama win, as the more generous writers at Politico have put it; or from frustration at the media, according to Time; or at Democrats and the [...]

McCain’s Base Trashes Economic Plan

by Cara October 10, 2008

This pretty much made my morning. John McCain is facing a fresh round of anger from members of his own party deeply opposed to the Arizona senator’s proposal for the federal government to purchase troubled mortgage loans. The pointed backlash from several economic conservatives — many of whom already distrust McCain’s commitment to free-market principles [...]

Barack Obama: More Intelligent, More Likeable and a Stronger Leader

by Cara October 8, 2008

Well this seems pretty conclusive. What were your thoughts on the debate? A lot of people are saying they were bored, but while I can’t say that I was exactly enthralled, I did find it more interesting, entertaining and watchable than the first debate. I thought that Tom Brokaw asked dumbass questions (“evil empire????”), and [...]

The Stupid Vote

by Cara October 8, 2008

I know this is kind of mean, but I laughed so hard that it just about killed me. I really love John Oliver.

by Cara October 7, 2008

I’m sure as hell not celebrating yet, but I will say that I’m feeling pretty damn happy about these latest numbers. Who’s excited about the debate tonight? Predictions?

It’s Almost Debating Time

by Cara September 23, 2008

This NY Times article on the debates contained some interesting information, and this tidbit in particular got on my nerves: At the insistence of the McCain campaign, the Oct. 2 debate between the Republican nominee for vice president, Gov. Sarah Palin, and her Democratic rival, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., will have shorter question-and-answer segments [...]

This is Why I Love Planned Parenthood

by Cara September 15, 2008

In response to John McCain’s despicable ad trying to slander Obama for his totally reasonable support for age-appropriate sex education, Planned Parenthood has released this ad: God, I love you PP folks. Bashing McCain, praising Obama, making campaign issues out of sex education and sexual assault, all in the same ad?  I hope that you [...]
