People who live in small-town America are “real Americas”, I guess the rest of us are faking it.

And when northern Virginia begins to poll in favor or Obama they aren’t the real Virginians.

To help us all out, the Daily Show has a quiz so we can learn if I’m a real American (you need to watch the end of the previous clip as the “third crazy lady”) will set the stage for the quiz.:

I have to return to that third crazy lady. To say that members of the Senate and House are anti-America is ludicrous. They may be incompetent, they may be corrupt, they may have views you oppose, but that doesn’t make them anti-American.

This isn’t negative campaigning, its a campaign of division and hate.

I’m registered as unaffiliated but have voted for the Republican Presidential candidate as far back as I can remember (even last time when it was tough and a reluctant vote) but I won’t be able to do it this time. I had hoped that John McCain would be the McCain of old and avoid a political party’s natural tendency to go to the extreme. Instead his candidacy is giving voice and support to to the fringe and I have no doubt he’d continue to do so to keep their support when he’s in office.

I’m just grateful the Democratic candidate isn’t Hilary.
