I heard she totally supports Woman’s suffrage, that’s right she has no problem with the suffering of women. ---

Ha! How dare she call the money Godless when it comes from a group called ‘Godless Americans’. ---

Try to keep up here, **Sinaijon**. The specific problem is not with the Dole ad calling the “Godless Americans PAC” money “godless”, but with the attempt to make the group sound evil and sinister, based on absolutely jack-shit except the word “godless” (oooo!! scary!!) in its name. If a candidate made a similar ad about a rival candidate’s “secret meeting” with a “Jewish Americans PAC”, attempting to raise fears about what that candidate “promised in return” for that “Jewish money”, that would be bigoted scaremongering. And so is this. Non-religious Americans are getting pretty fucking tired of being treated like Teh Evil by a bunch of narrow-minded bigots, and that narrow-minded bigotry is exactly what the Dole campaign is pandering to here. ---

That woman in the black cloak in Dole’s ad is really, really scary. The followup ad should feature those twins from _The Shining_ chanting "Come play with Kay Hagan…forever…and ever… I wonder though - that response in which Hagan says that “This is politics of the worst kind, and I know it has been rejected by North Carolinians at every level.” They have? Cite? ---

You do have to wonder, though, who’s idiotic enough, especially, in North Carolina, to take money from the “Godless Americans PAC”? Were “Americans for Al Qaeda” and “The Puppy Kickers Union” all tapped out? ---

Ok. Let’s play a game. 1. Republican candidate Sarah Palin with her running mate Schlomo Horowitz, an Orthadox Jew from Brooklyn is up against an incumbent Barack Obama who has replaced Joe Biden on the ticket with Joe the Plumber who has since come out as a radical atheist. Who wins? ---
