I think it was CNN that was showing a bit of a McCain fundraising/publicity stop. McCain was taking questions from the audience, and some 18 year old woman grabbed a microphone, and one of the first things she said was something like this:
I hope you win this. Obama, whew, he terrifies me! Whew!
and she kind of paused, and then...
the crowd applauded.
And I thought, there it is, in a nutshell. Republicans. Cheering for fear. Are you afraid? Yes? Hooray!!!!! Vote for Republicans then.
It was one of the most sad displays of political sissihood I've ever seen, the entire crowd, McCain laughing when she said she was terrified and WHEW, just pathetic. Why would America want their country to be run by those supported by the afraid? Are we really wanting to become Wuss Nation? New things! Ideas! Change! HOLD ME I'M FRIGHTENED!
Why, here's a blog that actually captured the video IN SUPPORT OF WUSS NATION.
Why do Americans accept a political party who cheers for Wuss Nation? What happened to our values?
