WORLD NEWS TRUST: I Helped Pay for That, Too, Senator McCain (Mary Lyon)

[Tace]

Mary Lyon, From The Left -- World News Trust

Oct. 30, 2008 -- The piece of film that just made the biggest impression on me on this particular night, when Barack Obama aired his half-hour TV special, was not anything Obama presented. It was the sour grapes John McCain squeezed in reaction.

He complained about all those sinister mystery contributions, the suspicious credit card funding that’s poured into the Obama campaign coffers. Not on the up-'n'-up. Something’s undoubtedly fishy here (probably because all that money hasn’t been raining down upon McCain).

Okay, Senator McCain. Wanna make something out of it? I helped underwrite that film. Me, Mary, with my piddly little credit card donations that I’ve inputted on numerous Obama campaign contribution forms online. You gonna set your running mate on me now -- and accuse me of “palling around with terrorists”?

Well, go ahead (I’m sure you will, anyway, without the need of any prodding or double-dog-daring from me). As a matter of fact, let me introduce myself to both you AND that new gal you’ve been parading around on your arm lately (the brunette, not the blonde). Mr. Senator, Madam Governor, I’m one of those many people you’ve slapped in the face as frequently as you’ve gone after Barack Obama and Joe Biden. My name is Mary. I’m a wife and a mother. And, Senator McCain, it might interest you to know that I’m also an adopted daughter (for whose sake MY father would have shaken the earth in my defense, and actually did, a few times, when somebody years ago ruthlessly attacked me).

2. We paid for that

and gladly.

That was my reaction also. Thanks for the link.

11. Don't forget that. WE helped pay for that. Not a bunch of terr-ists.

Of course they're trying to redefine us that way merely for the "sin" of not voting republi-CON.

3. what i said last night. news said, is obama buying election. NO, we the LITTLE people are buying

the election with our little donations instead of the corps buying hte election this time around

[calimary]

12. Yes indeed. I think the average contribution works out to about 67 or 68 dollars.

Hardly big money.

18. Holy Canoli! This is on HuffPo - read the comments!

The comments are blazing! There's a LOT of solidarity out there - and a lot of righteous anger at the way we've been treated, derided, and insulted.
