Political Discourse







This is the state of political discourse. Sexist, Racist, Ageist; jabs at patriotism for whether you are one or the other. I will admit, it was harder finding offensive buttons for McCain. One had him hobbling along like an elderly man (I couldn't save it to my disk). But the ones here about Obama and Clinton are just disgusting, outside the realm of positive discourse. I wonder if it's possible to have an election without this hatred?

The Hillary button reminds me of a Bill Clinton Highway (or something like that), which I've driven in Arkansas many times. It was crooked with narrow shoulders and a yellow stripe down the middles ... or so it was said.

I don't get it. Really, will you explain this one? I'm kinda dumb sometimes.

I believe the insinuation by the Arkansan (Arkansasser?) who told me that line was:
- BC was a crroked politician
- and a narrow-shouldered girly man
- and a chicken-shit.

It wasn't really funny, more just mean-spirited like your HRC button.

By the way, you should check out Wordpress -- I'm finding it a much better platform than Blogger, but to each their own.
