In my opinion, two of the most disgusting things that the GOP has done this election season are
Make 9/11 a punch line.

Make sexism an excuse.

9/11 is not a Republican political point it was a national tragedy that for one brief moment brought the country together. I saw people look at each other in the eye and say Hi and be a little more tolerant of each other.

The GOP has made it an excuse to be in permanent war and paranoia. They have decided they own it and use it as a manipulation.

There are millions of women who deal with sexism on a daily basis, with sexual harassment, being paid less than their male counterparts and finding themselves against a real glass ceiling.

Both of these very serious issues have been demeaned into punch lines and ways for the McCain/Palin campaign to try and get women voters and avoid scrutiny.

I am really disgusted tonight!

1. My two are (1) his assumption that I would vote for Sarah
Palin because we both share the same plumbing and (2) Noun, verb POW.

2. That's right!
I didn't think of the fact he demeaned POW's everywhere by trying to use it as a reason to vote for him and demonstration that just that experience makes him qualified ot be president and my fave of all, using it as protection from criticism!
