Bio
Scott K is a gay man living in sin with his partner of over twelve years whom he still cannot legally marry. Scott says he's politically active not because he wants to be, but rather feels he has to be. He takes very seriously Thomas Jefferson's famous quote "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance" which, strangely enough, he thinks he first heard on an episode of The Simpsons. Scott has one cat, two dogs, and a lot of opinions.

TOP 5 REASONS OBAMA SUPPORTERS SHOULDN'T REST EASY

  1. The polls may be wrong. This is an unprecedented election. No one knows how racism may affect what voters tell pollsters—or what they do in the voting booth. And the polls are narrowing anywa

What Does Hope Look Like?

My guess is something a lot like this:

Obama Rally Draws 100,000 in St. Louis, Missouri

Over 100,000 people showed up at Obama's rally in St Louis, Missouri yesterday. I just hope each and every one of them remembers to vote come election day.

Together we are strong.

The *Other* Things John McCain Knows

John McCain must be a very knowledgeable guy.

After all, over the course of three Presidential debates he's told us that he knows how to:

  • get Osama Bin Laden;
  • fix the economy;
  • create jobs;
  • save billions of dollars;
  • eliminate programs;
  • heal the wounds of war.

The Figures McCain Doesn't Want You To See

So the main issue on voters' minds is the economy, a subject John McCain has repeatedly said in the past that he's not exactly an expert in. So what's McCain to do? Well, beyond denying he ever made those remarks, he is now trying to confuse people about Obama's/… Read full post »

Despite our many differences of opinion, I'm sure there is one thing that Sarah Palin and I could agree on: a domestic terrorist (i.e. one who encourages violence against the government or the citizens of the U.S.) should not be given a national audience on mainstream, public airwaves. That's why/… Read full post »

McCain Picks Another Palin

I am surprised more people are not talking about how John McCain said in last night's debate that he would consider Meg Whitman for Treasury Secretary, but that is probably because not too many people know who she is. Whitman is the former eBay CEO and currently a McCain campaign… Read full post »

How Obama's Rise in the Polls Could Cost Him the Election

Unless you've been hiding away in a remote land like Alaska this past week, I'm sure you're aware that several recent polls have shown Barack Obama holding a statically significant lead over John McCain nationwide. More importantly, Obama is gaining in several key swing states. The numbers have cau… Read full post »

Sarah Palin & the Gays

In the above video, Sarah Palin talks about one of her "absolute best friend of 30 years" who happens to have "made a choice" to be gay that Palin herself did not make. (Side note: Would that imply Palin chose to be straight?)

My feeling is that if Palin's… Read full post »

Trying to Wink Her Way To A Win

Not that any opinion matters but your own, but I'd thought I'd share some quick impressions of mine from the Vice Presidential debate tonight.

Although I had low expectations for Sarah Palin going in (as did the rest of America), I was also trying to prepare myself for a "Sarah Barracuda"/… Read full post »

Bailout BS: Conflicted and Confused

I'll be the first to admit it: My opinion about the bailout seems to change every hour.

Why?

Well, in theory, the idea of a bailout sickens me. It goes against everything I believe in to use $700 billion of our taxpayer dollars in order to prop up banks that… Read full post »

To Bailout Or Not… Do We Have A Choice?

I'm not a fan of the bailout. It sickens me think of spending $700 billion dollars of our taxpayer dollars to clean-up after greed, mismanagement, and deregulation let Wall Street and the banking industry spin out of control.

HOWEVER…

I'm not so sure we have another option. I don't… Read full post »

Which Is More Presidential?

Which response to the bailout vote failure do you think is more productive and Presidential?

Obama asking people to "stay calm, because things are never smooth in Congress"?

Or McCain who pointed fingers at the Democrats (despite having tried to take credit for the bill only hours before)?

Humpty Dumpty and Republicans That Make You Go Hmm…

Let's see…

John McCain is dropping in the polls. The main points he planned to campaign on, foreign policy (Iraq) and experience, are suddenly not as important to Americans as fixing the economy. Unfortunately for McCain, more Americans believe in Barack Obama's ability to fix the economy th… Read full post »

Remind Me To Go Sneeze On Them

You can't make this stuff up, though I really wish this was all just made-up. It would make it a lot easier to stomach.

For those who don't know, Arizona will be voting on Proposition 102 this November. If approved by Arizona voters, it will amend the Arizona Constitution… Read full post »
