A scary Halloween with Sarah Palin

In central Pennsylvania, the Republican base is afraid of Obama, and lost in fever dreams of a neo-Soviet nightmare. But it's all in God's hands.

    so sad

    These people make me sad. They are brainwashed by fear mongers. They truly believe that Obama=some sort of radical takeover. Does that old man really think that if Obama wins we'll all have to move to concrete block high-rises and share dirty bathrooms? jeeze. It's much more likely that the budget will get balanced (again), the US will become a reputable world leader (again) and we can stop lying about being American when we go overseas (again). And all those "agains" harken back to .... lessee...oh yeah, the LAST Democratic presidency.
