The _______Game

by kindthoughts, Sat May 24, 2008 at 10:18:15 PM EST

Let play a game.

The rule is: where you see a ___________ you put in the name of your favored presidential candidate, one of the two candidates still in the running.

Its the end of the primary season, then the end of the convention and ___________ is the nominee. The other candidate is not. There is some anger around and disappointment. Of course in the GE race between ___________ and McCain, there are still issues that matter. And votes that need to be cast in great numbers... all of us... together.

So what are my choices, you ask  yourself?


  • For example, ___________ will appoint decent Supreme Court judges while McDecider will appoint ones who will overturn Roe vs. Wade, ones who will continue the destruction of our civil liberties.

  • ___________ will work to reform, improve and fund healthcare and education, while McLobbyist will continue doing what Bush is doing now. You know that "I love the lobbyist" and I want them and their companies to get paid bit.

  • ___________ will focus on fixing the economy while McBillionsOnWar, will spend more money on .... of course, war.

  • And speaking about the war, ___________ will work to get our troups out while McWar will send your sons, your daughters, you grandchildren, your grand-grand children< there for 100 years.

  • McOilMan will probably invade more countries, destroy the Antarctic for oil. Of course, ___________ will fund alternative energy sources like wind and solar. Encourage development of eco friendlier car.

Got your candidate written in?
Now imagine the other candidate won the nomination and you are mad and saying you won't vote for them.

Look at the issues above. Then ...


  • Look at your kids playing on the floor, the ones who will pay the heaviest prices of McCain presidency.

  • Look atyour spouse who is shaking their head at the gasoline receipts.

  • Your mother who is worried about her Enron destroyed retirement.

  • Your father ladened with hospital bills.

  • Your friends worried sick about their siblings in Iraq.


Look at all those you are responsible to when you cast your vote in November. Look them in the eyes.

Who will it be? Candidate ___________ who shares your values or McDisaster?


Poll
So? Your choice is....
___________
McCain

Candidate Clinton. (1.00 / 5)

I think you missed the point of the diary (2.00 / 2)

No, I understand completely. (1.00 / 6)

Members of the Obamanation think that the only answer is Candidate Obama - and you will be in terrible shape in November when you discover that Candidate Obama is NEVER an option for many Democrats.

I see, (2.00 / 1)

And you think that if Hillary get the nomination from the SDs she will win November without Obama supporters?

What will you tell those pissed off supporters to get them to vote for Hillary?

Woudl those be teh same things I wrote in the diary?

No. Hillary supporters come to her (1.66 / 3)

because of her...not because of anything we say.

Re: No. Hillary supporters come to her (2.00 / 2)

That's good for you, because I've found the special loathing you seem to reserve for Barack Obama particularly repulsive.  If Obama is hit by a meteor and Hillary Clinton is the nominee, I'll vote for her, but I'll do it despite your inane and hateful rants.

I fully expect the majority of BO's (1.00 / 4)

supporters will come to their own senses and realize that the emperor has no clothes on...and that's not a pretty sight!

I see (2.00 / 1)

when Obama tells that to HRC supporters that does not matter.

But when HRC will tell it to pissed Obama supporters, it will magically make it all better.

"supporters will come to their own senses and realize that the emperor has no clothes on...and that's not a pretty sight!"

If it weren't for the total lack of conetent, analysis and meaning, this post would be really noteworthy.
