How far from mainstream..
..does it take for people to realize how crazy some of the politicians are that we elected into office?
Take this politician from Minnesota for instance. Rep. Michele Bachmann was on the Chris Mathews Show and made comments saying that she believes that Senator Obama (among other unamed politicians) are Anti-American. Its one thing to make political remarks about another politician... its quite another to insult half (give or take a few percentage points depending on your source) of America for calling their presidential candidate Anti-American... ESPECIALLY when its her party that is being railed by the media (and the people for that matter) for their staging of an overly aggressive and outrageous negetive campaign. You have retired Generals and old Republican party bosses comming out and saying how detracted from the real issues the McCain campaign has been from what is really hitting "mainstreet" America... making grossly outrageous comments about Obama's credibility as an AMERICAN not as a politican... spending 100% of commercial-advertisement money on attack adds as opposed to position adds of your campaign... all the while the economy is going up in flames?! She has the audacity to propose Congressional hearings to expose politicians for being Anti-American?! Uhm.. Hello Neo-McCathryism. So damaging were her remarks that the Democratic opponent for her seat actually has financially benefitted from her remarks.. and has raised $438,346.57 in less than 24 hours of her remarks. Even her own party has thought she has gone over board, prompting a "write-in" candidacy of Republican Immelman (http://www.immelman.us/contribute/)
Hasn't it been clear enough that all Americans, both Republicans and Democrats, are tired of campaigns veering off from the real issues that we feel here at home?
