It's gonna be a very long month

[lizziegrace]

I've been up since 5:00am. The advertising running during the local news is nothing but political ads, and they're nasty. Ohio's a battleground, again.

Sigh. :(

[In_The_Wind]

1. I've got way too much to do this month.

*sigh*


:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

2. You oughta move

Like, to the United States.

[lizziegrace]

3. Good one!

The ads with Ken Blackwell make my skin crawl. Ewwww.

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. There's some ugly ones here

in the attorney general race. It's Jerry Brown, the former "Governor Moonbeam," against some assbag state senator named — I kid you not — Chuck Poochigian. (His district is where Fwee Wepubwic is headquartered, if that tells you anything.)

The radio ads, which air about every inning during Dodger games, rip Brown for campaigning for clemency for the Freeway Killer when Brown was governor — 24 years ago. They're nasty in that they have some snarky soccer mom starting with "This is hard to stomach, but..." And they're called "Jerry Brown Watch."

Well, Jeebus Fuck. Brown's always been against the death penalty. But these ads make it sound like he singled out that one guy, and like he wanted him to go free.

I really think we need laws regarding honesty in campaign ads. So many of those fuckers just lie, lie, lie.

4. That sounds awful

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. The Governor's race in MI has been horrid... I am betting tens of

millions of dollars have been spent by Dick"head" Devos. Every commercial break is either a campaign commercial slamming Granholm or a "Isn't Amway the greatest?" commercial. :grr:

[miss_american_pie]

7. Oh come visit me then

And help me throw things at the tv when Swann or Santorum ads are on. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

8. Now that sounds like fun!

I'd like to take a swipe at Santorum.

Lelapin always :eyes: when I talk back to the tv or radio. I know they can't hear me, but *I* feel better and that's all that matters. Right? ;)

[miss_american_pie]

9. Exactly

And Santorum's ads are so unbelieveable they really are funny. And I have a freezerfull of gobs. :D

[billyskank]

10. You should all move to Britain

Election campaigns are very low key here. Even general election campaigns only last a month, and all you see are a few adverts on the BBC and bill posters everywhere.

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

11. Billy!!

Lucky guy. :(

My mother and I have decided we might like to live in England. I'm just not ready to give up on this country yet.

How are you today sweetie??


:loveya:

[billyskank]

12. Hey

I am okay, although I am feeling a bit quiet. :hug:

Kidding aside, it is a bit step to move to another country, and not one that should be taken lightly.

How are you, sweetie? :loveya:

[lizziegrace]

14. I'm hanging on

Not ready to quit just yet. It's okay to be quiet. More :* and :hug: for you.

:loveya:


My sister loves your country. She's said if anything happened to her husband, she wouldn't move back here. She likes the pace of life and the people in her town.

[miss_american_pie]

13. Oh don't tempt me

:hi:

[billyskank]

15. I wouldn't dream of it

O8)

[miss_american_pie]

16. Of course not

Dreams are never as satisfactory as the real thing. ;)

[BarenakedLady]

21. Ok...

I'm on my way. ;-)

[billyskank]

23. Excellent!

:bounce:

:D

[Mutley]

25. I'd move to Britain if I could.

And not just for the easy election campaigns.

[billyskank]

26. You'd be welcome

:hug:

[Road Scholar]

17. If I could be assured we would win in Nov. It wouldn't seem so

long 'till then. After the dissapointments of '00, and '04 it seems like forever 'til Nov. 07. I am enjoying the implosion of the republican party to help pass the time.

[lizziegrace]

18. The meltdown

has been long in coming. :)

That is a definite plus. And think, in '04 we didn't have Olbermann or Colbert to help us organize the absurdity.

[Road Scholar]

19. If it goes like I hope it does, Nov 8 is gonna be like Christmas

to me. I live in a red stste and I'm so sick of all the self righteous hate etc.

[lizziegrace]

20. I hope you're right

but here in Ohio, we have Blackwell and Diebold. :(

[Road Scholar]

22. I hope after the hands come off the bibles in Janurary, the rockets

will go up, not the least of which I hope is a full blown investigation of voting irregularities in Ohio and Florida.:nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[Ohio Joe]

24. Hang in there

Even in heavy red Dublin I'm hearing how sick people are of how the state (and country) are being run, and how a change has to happen. I stopped last night at On the Rocks (a local bar, for those not from around here) with my buddy Shawn and sat on the patio to watch the storms. We got talking with about 15 other locals about politics and everyone really agreed that republicans have to go and it's time for the state to be run by people that are not crooks, namely Democrats :)

[lizziegrace]

27. Thanks Joe

Like I said, I'm not ready to give up on my country yet. But all that negativity at 5:00am is just too much sometimes. Where's On The Rocks? (What's it near?)

:hug:

How are you? BTW, what did you make during play day?

[Ohio Joe]

30. It's on Frantz road

Near Tuttle, maybe a mile or so from the Tuttle Mall. I'm doing good, I'll give you a call tonight.

[lizziegrace]

31. I've got a rehearsal tonight.

This weekend maybe?

:hi:

[Ohio Joe]

32. cool, sounds good

:hi:

[RubyDuby in GA]

28. Get a suction cup dart gun. I couldn't have made it through 2004 without

one. Also buy an extra clip for it - it saves you from having to get up and pick up the little suction cup darts all the time.

I unloaded on W every time I saw his stinkin' face on my screen. The debates were awesome that way!

[LadyoftheRabbits]

29. I'm in agreement with RubyDuby in GA

I have a suction cup dart gun somewhere, mom. I'll give it to you if I can find it. :P
