Both of my parents came from western PA and I was raised in central PA (Chambersburg) in the '70s. My father was very active in PA Democratic politics both in Harrisburg and Franklin County. Including running for state senator.

It is truly sad to read/see/hear of this sort of behavior during the entire campaign but especially from my home state (that I hold in tremendous affection). Politics have changed too much in this country if this is the caliber of voter ANY candidate has to pander to. Even sadder that McCain CHOOSE to pander to these "low information humans". This campaign could have been a real debate about our future.

I am however, very proud to be an American who will vote for Barack Obama freely on Tuesday. I have been voting since 1978 and this is the FIRST time I feel so excited about casting my vote. AND I live in VA now, so it's pretty cool being in a state that matters...being all mavrick-y here in a red state, you bet'cha...

For the past 8 years I have had MY patriotism questioned by these chicken hawk motherfrakers.

My father, my uncle, my sister, my brother, my first husband, my second husband, and I ALL served this country in the armed forces. My brother is in Saudi Arabia on his second rotation.

We were/are all Democrats. My dad was a Democratic party official and candidate in PA during the early '70's. He was what you might call a community organizer. And he went out of his way to help Vietnam vets find housing, jobs, and a voice in the system. Imagine....

We have served, and continue to serve our country proudly and well.

McCain, Palin, Bush, Cheney, Rove, and their supporters worked so hard to redefine my family as somehow unAmerican because we have some different visions about our country. Well, screw all of them. They don't deserve any more of our attention. Just shut up. You all belong on the dung heap of history.

It was truly wonderous to watch Obama help bring back what is so great about this country. And truly sad to realize how far down we have gone.

It's time to let the real grown-ups run things....Yes, we can!
