John McCain will be in Springfield today, and Jo Mannies has an article in the P-D that reports on how important the southwest corner of Missouri is for him. She quotes a few Republicans. When I read pap like this, sometimes I despair of democracy.
The difference could be provided by Republican-leaning Springfield residents like Randa Evans, 28. Evans, who works in a fast-food restaurant, hasn’t been paying much attention to the particular issues bandied about in the presidential contest. And she won’t be in the audience at McCain’s event today.
But McCain can probably count on her vote. “I think he has strong leadership qualities,” she said. “I think that’s what we need.”
Picture Jon Stewart’s deadpan because, what can you say to such ignorance?
Except this: Hey, Randa? John McCain is a:
A reproductive age female in a dead-end job voting republican.
Now all those education cuts are making sense. Keep ’em stupid so they’ll keep voting against their own interest.

More like a Pinto – the dude’s a rolling explosion just needing a spark.
What has he ever led? He was a junior aviator who lost five planes, but never commanded anything, and never had a prayer of achieving the rank and status of his father and grandfather, who outclassed him by miles. With a different last name he would have been out of the academy within weeks of his plebe summer, let alone four years.
And what do Senators lead? So where is this strong leader meme originating? Its out of the crib, but if we work hard, we might be able to strangle this Rosemary’s Baby before it escapes the nursery.
