FUNDAMENTALLY, I have to mention something....

There's a new buzzword for the McCain campaign.

First we heard from GW that the fundamentals of our economy were strong.

Now, in an interview with the editorial board of the Des Moines Register, McCain repeatedly
(and very angrily) expresses how he 'fundamentally disagrees' with the implication that SP is inexperienced and he fundamentally disagrees that the American people don't like her. (I guess he also fundamentally disagrees with actual polls).

***weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!***

Did you hear the dogwhistle? Everytime I hear that word *fundamental* on the news, I imagine someone at the McCampaign claps their hands together and claims to have reclaimed another wayward liberal Christian, diverted on their path by visions of change, inclusion, faith, and love.

They are flailing, they need something...I get that, I really do.

But it just seems like another one of the talking points cheap trick distraction methods (LOOK, A PUPPY!) that the uber-conservatives have used to hijacked Christianity. This isn't news to people like my mother, and many good friends who have watched in jaw-dropping horror as 'their religion' has been abducted and absorbed into the conservative vision, re-invented and spewed back out in the form of Fundamentalism, Evangelism, and supremacy.
A political party religion which preaches intolerance, judgment, exclusion, racism, ignorance, hatred, fear.
While I know this is more prevalent in other parts of the country than this (thankfully) liberal bubble surrounding us (called: our region), even local friends who happen to also practice Christianity are feeling this separation of church and church. I wonder if that has anything to do with the frequent infusions of politics into faith. Hmmmm.....

Oh, and let us not forget how they have also managed to own 'life'! That is impressive.

If only a 'culture of life' could be further embraced by the American people.

Seriously. WTF IS THAT?


Tick, tick, tick....can you hear it?

I may be looking forward to the debate this evening just a teensy bit too much.

And now, I am new and improved...with twice the amount of spite!
