Are you fucking kidding me????

It's not like McCain is in danger of losing my vote, but come ON. Do you really want somebody at the helm of this country with this little sensitivity?

PORTLAND, OR – Police officers in Portland, Oregon, are still waiting for an apology from Barack Obama after campaign staffers of his recent rally in Portland, Oregon, setup porta potties directly on top of the Portland Police Memorial, which honors the agency’s 25 fallen police officers...



Edit: left this for Obama at his campaign webpage:

Senator Obama,

As a long-time Oregon resident and an independent voter, I want to express my disgust at the lack of tact and sensitivity exhibited by your campaign this last week in Portland. I wasn't seriously considering voting for you anyway, but until recently, I hadn't ruled it out.

How dare you disgrace the memory of our fallen police officers by placing toilets directly in the middle of the memorial to them? I honestly don't know what's worse, the fact that it happened in the first place or the half-assed apology sort-of proffered as justification. Do you honestly expect us to believe that out of the entire city of Portland the only place your campaign organizers could find to place the toilets was in the midst of a memorial to cops killed in the line of duty?

You won't be getting my vote, Senator. Take your elitism and your boorish company out of my state and stay there.


Got this canned response by email. Somehow I have a feeling most of their mail is positive, or at least they try to put a positive spin on it.

Thank you for contacting Obama for America. The volume of messages we’re receiving has gone up since Barack’s victory in Iowa. While we cannot respond individually to over a thousand messages per day, the level of interest and thoughtfulness of the comments reflected in these communications are very gratifying. Your thoughts on our campaign and America's future are greatly appreciated.Individual citizens like you are the foundation of this campaign.

Yep. That's me all right. Takin' my foundation and getting the hell away from this idiot.

The more I see the current candidates from the major two parties, the more appalled I am with their complete disconnection with the land of the real.

I tell ya man... I'm voting Libertarian. They seem to be about the only people out there who have a clue.
