Faux news has stepped away from bashing the Democrats now the election is over, and have started in on McCain and Palin.

Today We Pick a New Leader and A Lot More

When Americans go to the polls today, if they haven’t already in states that permit early voting, they are going to have a varying array of issues to consider, of course the most important, whether or not they will vote for change with Barack Obama, or whether we’ll have 8 more years of the same and human rights to chose, such as abortion and gay marriage will be taken away from McCain and Palin.

In California they will vote on gay-marriage, and also decide whether chickens and pregnant pigs deserve more living space.

In Florida and Arizona, they’ll decide whether or not gay-marriage should be constitutionally banned.

In Massachusetts, they will vote on whether to ban commercial dog racing. In Iowa, they will vote on eliminating the term “idiot or insane person” from state descriptions of who is eligible to vote. In a many other states, the voters will decide if more casinos will be allowed.

One great thing about democracy, the U. S. system permits citizens and state governments to add extra measures on the ballot each election, some serious, some rather odd. All together, there are 153 ballot proposals across the nation. 61 of those measures were initiated by citizens, 84 from state legislatures and 8 from state commissions.

Of the more popular, is Proposition 8, which would strip away the right of same-sex couples to marry in California.

Groups supporting and opposed to Proposition 8 have raised and spent well over $60-million, a new record for a ballot measure. It’s hard to fathom “Christians” spending so much money to deny equal rights in America, a place where children still go hungry, the homeless is in record number and unemployment is hitting a peak. Of course, this may not be an issue if the McCain/Palin ticket wins because Palin has made no bones about her stance there should be a federal ban preventing gay people from marrying one another.

The right for a woman to chose whether she wants an abortion was resolved by the famous Roe vs. Wade decision in 1974, but the issue is back on the ballot in South Dakota and in Colorado Amendment 48, was introduced by a Baptist woman. Now again, this may not be an issue if McCain/Palin win because Palin has made it adamantly clear that abortion should be illegal, even in the case of rape, incest or the better interest of the mother’s health.

In Colorado and Nebraska, voters are being asked to do away with any affirmative action hiring in the public service prevents unbiased treatment on the basis of sex, race, color, ethnicity or national origin in hiring. Again, Palin and McCain don’t believe in equal pay for women, so this could become an issue of the past as well.

Other ballot measure no so hot include a Washington proposal to allow the terminally ill to commit suicide with the help of a doctor and attempts in Massachusetts and California to alter the punishment for marijuana possession to a $100 fine to help free up the overcrowded prisons.

In Oregon, a group called Preserve Our Best Teachers has proposed a new statute that would compensate teachers based on classroom performance. In Washington, citizens have asked for a statute to open up car pool lanes to all drivers outside rush hour.

So, the list obviously goes on, but I want to leave you with this point. Many Republicans claim they are because they don’t want “big government”. Well, it’s the small government (or small minded) that has put us into our current economic situation. If you’ll remember, when Bill Clinton left office, this country had the respect of foreign nations and a budget surplus. Now, well, you know. But I still need to bring up, as much as the Republicans talk (and talk is not cheap in this case as it’s cost tax payers and arm and a leg) about small government, they seem very interested in taking rights away from citizens of this country. That’s not small government, that’s not democracy and that is certainly not the American way. Don’t let it happen people, get out and vote…and vote for change, or it may be the last time you get to vote!

When Sailors Jump Ship You Know Its Over

By Robert Ray -

Well, it didn’t quite begin with General Colin Powell, or with Scott McClellan, or a host of others, but today another McCain Campaign official parted ranks from the campaign to call Sarah Palin a “DIVA”.

I thought only Opera Stars and Drag Queens were divas. I guess I was wrong, but I can promise you this; No matter what the polls seem to say, and they do say Obama is a pretty certain winner, the insiders know better. This coming election is going to be a landslide victory for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Those other anemic screamers and the rest of their wealth slave Republicans from the Senate and House can serve dinner to the new family of African Americans sitting in the White House. Oh, if I could only be seated at the table with the black family in office to see Sarah spill the soup all over herself. Imagine that, dropping that soup all over her 3,000.00 dollar outfits.

I guess that image helped me to get it. She really is a Diva. I’ll name her “Death Star” and now she’s ready to go out and compete with other drag queens at a few pageants. Sarah, when the panel of judges question you as to whom the real Sarah Palin is, you can use this line; “when at first you don’t succeed, try and try again!”

Birds of a Feather Flock Together (Dim Birds Too)

Now here is someone we all KNOW is qualified to talk about world issues.  Just because she has led a very privileged life, and really has no real grasp of world issues does not make her a bad person, just a senseless Republican who never worried about money, health care, the economy or really anything other than her hair dye.  But that’s OK.  When she gets older, she’ll have to worry about plastic surgery too!

But in the meantime, she’ll continue introducing another one, almost as bright as her, Sarah Palin!  I think they should run together in 2012!

According to Flaming Politics:

When I go to cocktail parties, I stand next to the stupidest-looking person I can find - often I’m dating him - and compared to him, I look brilliant. Well, after her ditzy Katie Couric interview, Sarah Palin seems to have adopted the same strategy, scheduling Florida campaign stops with View co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck, one of stupidest women ever to land a TV spot, and even a prime time joint interview on FOX.

The Real Right Wing Threat to America

From opednews.com:

If Obama is elected, expect the religious right to stir the radical conservatives up continually. Whether the country will see a replay of Ruby Ridge is total speculation, but it is possible. If Proposition 8 in California is defeated, that will give the radicals even more cause and reason to further the revolution talk. Proposition 8 is an initiative that would change the California Constitution to define a marriage as being between a man and woman, thus overturning a recent State Supreme Court decision allowing gays to marry.
