NOT Part 2

Not exactly, anyway.

Earlier today I read a blog about how the Dems were blowing the election. Let me add my two cents.

This "small island" is in the Detroit area. Every morning while drinking my coffee I listen to a local news radio station. Every morning there are radio spots for Obama...several...but always just repeats of the same spot. Every morning the spot is about abortion.

Part 2 was actually going to be about abortion. I did an extremely superficial search of the CDC website, and came up with the statistic that in 2004, there were 839,226 legal abortions in the US. I had intentions of working with that number, to demonstrate how it is really statistically insignificant, when it comes to choosing a "single issue" - if such is the mindset (or NONmindset) of the voter.

But I am beyond "statistically insignificant" and now believe the repeated use of this spot over other possible issues is nothing but stupid. And not only stupid, but playing into the hands of the opposition.

Those of us who live here call all of southeastern lower Michigan by the generic name of "Detroit". So...this is Detroit, for God's sake, and we have more important things to worry about than whether or not McCain/Palin will propose a Constitutional amendment to ban abortion!!!!

Hello? Has anyone noticed that hundreds of thousands of people here have lost their health insurance during the Bush administration? Does anyone running the Obama campaign realize how much unemployment has increased here in the last 7.5 years? How many of our jobs have gone off-shore? How many homes foreclosed here? We're too damn busy trying to keep food on the table to worry about abortion as the key issue in this election. An issue? Yes! But way down the list of what would or would not attract an independent voter in Michigan.

To quote a recently-famous Democrat: IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!!!!!!!

If Obama's people keep running an abortion spot to the exclusion of all other issues - particularly the economic one that dominates all of our waking hours - this birthplace of Reagan Democrats will spawn a new generation of such, and we will have another 4...if not 8...years of cronyism, stagnation, and stupidity.

Wake up, people!!!!!
