I for one would like to thank the left for giving us the WON. Lets face it, we were going to lose 2008 no matter what and no matter who we nominated. During that campaign the race card was played so frequently and in so many different ways...subtle, in your face, rapid fire...that we became desensitized. I remember phone banking for mclame and for the first time in my life being called a racist. It stung so bad that I was in tears. Now it just peeves me off. I suspect that many others have had similar experiences.
One of our resident lesbians in the dog park this am tried to bait me into an argument when she noticed that I took my Sarah bumper sticker off my car (hubby expects violence) and asked me why. I said “oh I will be voting obama this year”. The look on her face was priceless, something between shock tinged with dubious delight. When she questioned me I said “sure I will. Just so long as that new car gets here and he pays off my mortgage like he promised”. I would have never had the nerve to return fire on her like this had it not been for contest on who is going to be the most aggrieved about conservatives and what we stand for. They can all go stuff it. If people want to call me a “hater” they can go right ahead. We will all just have to pray that R&R in their much higher profile positions can resist the storm that is coming their way.
