America is Counting on Your Lazy Ass

Whoever you're supporting for President, there are only a couple of weeks left before the major primaries.

Your reasonably dreamy choices in the Democratic primaries and caucuses are Dreamy Barack Obama, Dreamy John Edwards, or Dreamy Hilary Clinton. Personally, I think Hilary Clinton is looking less dreamy by the minute, and would have by far the toughest fight in November, but still.

Your choices in the Republican primaries and caucuses are an assortment of repulsive, lying, crypto-fascist tools, plus antediluvian warmonger John McCain- still a tool, if an unreliable one, not to neglect bat-shit crazy Ron Paul.

Any Democrat is an order of magnitude better than any Republican in this race (he said, flatly). I need not restate here why. If you need a refresher, read this blog's archives since it began in 2003.

Electing a Republican gives the Republican party power. We note that this goes badly. When they have it, they immediately pass it off to exactly the people who will do the most damage to America in the shortest amount of time. A lot people people were killed violently for these fools around the world. A lot more died of avoidable neglect. A great nation went from the pinnacle of its power, influence and status to the drunk man who farted at the party and won't admit it. The Republican party, it is never to be forgotten, flushed the country and held down the handle.

SO GET YOUR LAZY ASS OUT THERE. Get to the caucuses, donate, volunteer. Gently remind friends and family of the same - you don't have to convince them of anything but that's its important to actual make the time and do the deed.

In California, particularly, the race is fluid and the prize is big. Have fun. Only America is at stake.
