'cause there's nothing I like more than a good twofer when both the heart and the head are in the wrong place!
If you haven't been sealed up in a media-free hermetic room this weekend--and if you have, my deepest congratulations on your good sense--you've probably heard about Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, who denied candy to trick-or-treaters who said they, or their parents, supported Obama. (The second link is a two-minute video news segment, which you really ought to watch; sorry I haven't yet plumbed the arcane mysteries of embedding video.)
Well, Ms. Nagel, you pathetic excuse for a human being, congratulations on outdoing the Grinch. It was only his heart that was three sizes too small; your brain appears to suffer from the same condition as well. Do you think this is going to endear your candidate, your "values", to anyone? Or is it going to reinforce the very worst of conservative stereotypes? Are the wee Obama supporters likely to leave your doorstep with the desire to re-examine their own political orientation, or are they likely to do so with the belief that yes, Republicans are mean and uncaring and we'd better get them out of office? And the wee McCain supporters--are you teaching them cooperation and good strategic thinking, or us-them demonization of the opponent? No politician could even afford your stupid, selfish attitude; if you're not willing to pass a little candy across the aisle, good luck getting your initiatives implemented....

I haven't.... did he just make her up? or is she a democrap operative pretending to be a republican? I know i rarely ask the kiddies who come to my door how their parents vote...
No she was real. Idiot woman. I saw the report on the local news the next day.
My nine-year old reported that the only “crummy” candy on Halloween (his definition BTW) came from someone dressed AS Obama.
The author is right, simply refusing the Obamanation kids candy is stupid.
What she *should* have done is this (sorry if my playwriting/screenwriting skills are a bit rusty):
A DOORBELL SOUNDS.
LADY OF THE HOUSE OPENS the FRONT DOOR.
KIDS: Trick or treat!
OBAMA KID: Trick or treat! Vote Obama!
LADY: Oh, how precious!
LADY GIVES some CANDY to KIDS.
LADY: And you, you’re so cute in your ‘Vote Obama’ costume! Tell you what, would you like me to give you candy like Obama would?
OBAMA KID: [shouting] Yes! Yes! Obama!
LADY: Okay, give me your bag.
OBAMA KID GIVES BAG to LADY.
LADY reaches inside HOUSE and produces GIANT BAG OF CANDY.
LADY: Now, watch carefully. The rest of you kids stay as well, I have something else for you.
KIDS: Yay!
LADY POURS entire BAG OF CANDY into BAG from OBAMA KID.
LADY: Okay, like Obama promises, you just got a whole lot of free candy.
OBAMA KID: Thank you!
LADY: Oh, but there’s more.
OBAMA KID: Yay!
LADY takes the now overflowing BAG and POURS CANDY into KIDS BAGS, leaving only a few token candies in the bottom of OBAMA KID’s BAG.
LADY HANDS near empty BAG to OBAMA KID.
OBAMA KID: WAAAAH! What did you do that for?
LADY: You had FAR more than the others, so like Obama would want, I redistributed your wealth to those who had less than you. Happy Halloween!
LADY CLOSES DOOR.
A story somewhat more palatable is the one where a business owner realizes that if 0bama wins, he’ll have to lay off several employees. After agonizing over which ones it’ll be, he walks through the parking lot and makes note of the cars parked there that have 0bama-Biden bumper stickers and makes his decision.
Perfect answer.
See post 7 on the thread.
She is too stupid to be a Republican- I am guessing Democrap ‘plant’
