The Folk Sessions says “Vote for Obama”

The Folk Sessions supports Barak Obama for president. Normally I wouldn’t be so presumptuous, but these are serious times and I am once again struck by how amazingly ignorant Americans can be. Please do what you can to encourage others to not be complacent and think their vote does not count. And if you were planning to vote for McCain, may you have a hanging chad.

The political season is certainly upon us, and boy is it getting thick out there… The main street media, especially the Cable part of the spectrum are pretty much paparazzi’s at this point… I’m afraid that after they get tired of comparing Barack Obama to JFK they’ll turn on him out of boordom, not malice… and why do they hate Hilary so much? They’ve demonized a decent person… are you aware that our wonderful California legislature is seriously considering letting people carry weapons in our schools and campuses? Working at a school (Yavapai College) as I do, I think it’s a really, really bad idea… also, not to pile on the Republican-led legislature (actually, I have no problem piling on) but why do they get their panties in such a bunch over gay couples who want to share their lives togetherand marry. It truly is an unloving and non-christian viewpoint. And don’t buy that garbage about the Bible and Leviticus. It’s a crock. Leviticus ALSO says you can sell your daughters into slavery, beat your wife, not eat shellfish and sleep w/ swine (OK, I made that one up) but there are numerous ridiculous pronouncements in it. Any one you uses this as a reason same sex love is against the Christian Gods will NEVER read it… The New York Times has just reported (20 minutes ago) on their website that Senator John McCain was a naughty Clinton-like cad with a cute blonde lobbyist during his 2000 presidential run. Gotta love them family-value pachyderms. More to come…

Nevada News: Barak Obama was endorsed by the Nevada Hookers Union. It is an important endorsement. If you can get the hookers, all you need is about half the magicians and you have the state of Nevada locked up.
