We are now into the last week of the midterm campaign, by which point the candidates and parties traditionally have long given up any remaining shreds of dignity or pretense that the election has anything to do with such high-falutin’ concepts as “ideas” or “democracy.” Not that we need to tell any of you that.
I wish just once the Dems would refute this propaganda with a commercial showing a fat bald white guy unable to don his flag pin because his hands are shaking from his fear of everything. Underneath is a caption that reads "This is how the Republicans see their voters. Why would you ever vote for a party who thinks so poorly of its own followers?"
You want to talk fear, GOP? You got nothin' but a bunch of scare quotes and some freaky pictures. You're bush league.
Fear is being poor and not sure if you have enough to feed your family because Food Stamps got cut again. Fear is being sick and unable to pay for the medicine to save your life because your state's governor hates the ACA with a passion and refuses to provide support. Fear is being told that you don't look American or act American, and thus should be treated as less than an American. Fear is being blamed for being assaulted or killed because you dressed the "wrong" way, or said the "wrong" words, or believe in the "wrong" things.
<em>That&#039;s</em> fear, you dumb bastards. And you know what? Compared to all that, I&#039;m just not afraid of you anymore.
&quot;Obama&#039;s policies are on the ballot&quot;?
Ohhhhh, right. They have to be <i>someone&#039;s</i> policies. Might as well pin them on Obama, because we Republicans sure as fuck haven&#039;t put any up.

He&#039;s the only nonwhite person in the commercial... I think.
Probably isn&#039;t doing wonders for the liver either.
If Ebola ever ends up in Benghazi Fox News will have a complete meltdown.

Remember when &quot;Chicken Little&quot; shrieking &quot;THE SKY IS FALLING&quot; was an allegory about overreaction?
Now, it has become Republican pornography.
<i>Keep fucking that Chicken Little, GOP</i>
6725 US citizens dead in Iraq&gt; 100,000+ Iraqi citizens dead in Iraq. 1 US death from Ebola&gt; 10,000 African deaths from Ebola.
I&#039;m just weird enough to think that non-American lives matter, too.
