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.

    my first thought seeing that old vet in one scene was, " has this guy ever been to new york city"?

    to the old vet . " has this guy ever been to NY city" , was my first words when he talked of sharing one toilet in a small apt. in russia. and when he talked about " welfare people", my nest thought was " what did you do? maybe suck up to your sgts. and stay in the millitary for 20 years to get that grade-A retirement package uncle sam offers?

    and then the stupid chick with the comment on how the cath-o-holic hospitals will no longer be able to mislead naive women into their " baby saving organizations", softly disguised as pregnancy centers- much like the one here in waterbury CT which is linked to saint mary's hosp. [ catholicism being an addiction worse then alcoholism! one which will make you even more brain dead!]

    what gives these dumb fucking religious assholes the right to decide for every pregnant woman in america what she can and can not do with her, as they claim it is; her " unborn baby"[ fetus!] connecticut, in fact, now has some law which allows the catholic hospitals to not offer/not do referrals for, women's services that include abortion as an alternative.

    this thanks to state sen lou de luca-R-32nd dist[ southbury/woodbury area], the same one arrested back in 2007 for hiring a hit man[ via danbury's infamous " garbage man" james galante, jr. of the gambinos] to kill his grandaughter's former boyfriend whom was supposedly stalking her. catholic-italian " family values" I guess? we know have rob kane whom is about as pro-life, and I am sure; is definitely backing the state constitution convention- Q: #1 on the ballot. one which has been placed there by both the CT catholic council/ CT " family association"[ CT's version of rev don wildmon's org.] in hopes that they could then overturn the recent court decision favoring equal marriage.[ like CA's prop. 8 ]

    and so, from what I hear , and know already, about this " evil socialism" they're all scared of, it really sounds bitchin' to the max! how it sounds to me is this. no longer will all these special interest groups, from the careless, greedy, " joe the big banker", to religious lunatics in operation rescue and " the army of god"; will get their ways so easily! and from what one canadian woman in BC told me about a year ago, "this has been why your politicians in your 'states' are so fucked up and can't get anything done for the average people!"
