Well, this really pisses me off.
While Palin is cuddling to the community with disabled kids, the GOP or their operatives have done this.
And just how many robo calls have you gotten from Obama telling your elderly mom that she is shit out of luck? None. Okay, that figures
I have a 94 year old mom. I guarantee that if my mom got a single call like this, I would find them and they would get a licking from me that they would never forget. This is just not right.
This is what it has come down to? Scaring the holy shit out of seniors? Making them worry and cry? And this is the voice of the GOP to seniors?
Gee, see a difference here in campaign tactics between Obama and McCain (as usual)?

Got that off my chest... but here is a song that has stood tall with me from the moment I heard it, From Cheryl Wheeler on this topic. It is brilliant. She is from Mass. Her intro is comedy. The song itself is simpatico and many of you will see it as true. Hanky alert (and lyrics below).
Lyrics:
- And they seem to know each other very well
- They speak across the garden and not a soul could tell
- They can read the summer sky and they can hear the back brook swell
- And they seem to know each other very well
- And they drive up north on sunday afternoons
- And he buys her wooden windmills and whales and quarter moons
- She feeds the birds all winter and she knows them by their tunes
- And they drive up north on sunday afternoons
- (Chorus)
- And all summer long, they make the garden grow
- Keep the green so strong
- Oh, wish them well, for standing on their own
- And they buried their old dog in their backyard
- With a fence and plastic roses
- And St. Francis standing guard
- She speaks of him quite often to this day she takes it hard
- And they buried their old dog in their backyard
- She brings me plants and flowers all the time
- And we dig the holes together she has to help with mine
- When she pats the soil around them oh my god, her eyes can shine
- She brings me plants and flowers all the time
- (Chorus)
- And they speak about their lives as almost gone
- Waiting for the sunset from an old and distant dawn
- Selling off the land except the part they're living on
- And they speak of their lives as almost gone
- And they seem to know each other very well
- They speak across the garden and not a soul could tell
- They can read the summer sky and they can hear the back brook swell
- And they seem to know each other very well
