What in the God Damned Holy Fucking Hell is it with McCain’s obsession about Obama and Ayers? The front page of the [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27343688/](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27343688/) website is giving headlines to ANOTHER story about the same tired old shit. I don’t know how to link; I think the senile drivel of McCain has just about destroyed me. Why does he continue to harp on the same tired worn out fucking drivel about Ayers? This God Damned election is killing me; every time I see more of this kind of crap it just reinforces my resolve to never, under any circumstances to vote for another Republican. I just don’t fucking get it. ---

MSNBC’s front page has a video of Palin basically saying Ayers is a terrorist, and abortion clinic bombers are bad and stuff…but they ain’t terrorists. [M-W return of my search for terrorist](http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/terrorist) Main Entry: ter·ror·ism Pronunciation: \ˈter-ər-ˌi-zəm\ Function: noun Date: 1795 : the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion To me, that sounds like what an abortion clinic bomber does. (I don’t know how to link the video since it opens in their web player) ETA: Shit…it is all in LouisB’s link. ---

Sadly that is all the repubs have. They ululate over and over about meaningless garbage because the war is a mess ,the economy sucks and unemployment is rising fast. Without Ayers they would have to sit around and suck their thumbs. Ayers is just noise. It has no traction or logic. It reeks of desperation and acceptance. ---

For a washed up old terrorist McCain doesn’t care about he sure as hell cares a lot about him. Or something. I have a bad feeling this is going to end up with McCain and Ayers kissing on camera. ---
