So today I received an email from an acquaintance with a picture of Senator Obama standing by a US flag with his hand not over his heart, but clapsed in front of him, and the person sending the email was all, "And you want this to be president?"
So I snoped it (www.snopes.com) and
read it (http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/anthem.asp)
And it turns out that Senator Obama has valid reasons, more importantly, his own reasons for not doing so.
So I forwarded the above links back to this person and she got pissed. Very pissed. Like Took It To A Whole New Personal Level Pissed.
Really? The election is so important to you that you have to alienate people and friends with your beliefs? Really?
Sorry, but I see the bigger picture and it is this: You will never be "friends" with whomever becomes the President of the United States, so why make it personal to yourself and your friends? I understand how people can get wrapped up in the bullshit, but that's really all it is. Bullshit.
I would rather have McCain for President than to ever act like Judgy Wudgy...

My brother and I are actually in a similar argument with our normally very democratic mother right now. Shes swayed to the other side for this election and neither of us understands. Shes been quite bitchy to me since I informed her of my choice and I couldnt give a fuck.
My stance: Joke em if they cant take a fuck.
D
BTW: Im stalking you all over the place now arent I??? Worried much?
LOL!
Yeah any idiot who'd believe those emails deserve ridicule...
