"Oh yes it's Ladies' Night..."

AFSCME Women for Kerry Night. A night of fun, freebies, and a screening of "Iron Jawed Angels."

It was fun. And the movie was good.

And I still can't understand why women would be voting for Bush. Seriously.

The most amusing thing I saw in my post-Miami Massacre surfing (that would be the first debate), was this discussion board where people had posted. As usual, you get your rabid devotees claiming their candidate won. Anyone who saw the debate should know that Kerry won fair and square and that Bush lost bieeeegg time.

And yes, I am a rabid devotee, but only on my blog, not on discussion boards. This is MY blog, after all.

Anyway, this woman writes something that sounded like this:

"George Bush clearly won the debate because he will stand up for life. This election is about abortion and the abomination that it is. John Kerry will kill anything. And that is why George Bush beat him Thursday night."

Okay. I know I usually rant.

BUT COME ON.

I respect the right for women to have a choice over their own bodies. Whether that means you are pro-choice or (and here's where definitions count) anti-choice - let's be honest, folks who are pro-choice are NOT anti-life - is your decision. What matters more to me is that you have the right to decide for yourself. I do not want to decide for you.

But what gets me here is that the first debate was on FOREIGN POLICY. Yes, Bush got in a little line about protecting all "lives" but I think at least the point was clear that Kerry is not about killing "everything." The only thing he believes in killing is George Bush's chances of a second term.

And the occasional goose or duck when he hunts.

But besides that, come on, people. Sure I want to talk substance, but Eddie Izzard is right - 80% how you look, 20% what you say - or else explain why the Germans went crazy when John Kennedy said he was a jelly donut?

So here's my thing. You can be a fanatic, but at least be on point, factually correct, and within the subject matter.

Unless, of course, you have your own blog. In which case, feel free to pontificate randomly.

Butter.

But let's be real, people. Are you seriously telling me after two days of bad news for the Bush Administration, like, um, Saddam not having any weapons at all and was actually hindered by the UN sanctions; jobs not going up the way they expected; and growing insurgence in Iraq - not to mention that you got creamed in a debate - that people are still undecided about whether or not this guy can lead?

I hope y'all are getting your non-registered friends registered and convincing folks who are undecided about the right choice for this country. Do it once a day. You'll be surprised what it will do.
