OK, while GOP is busily denying that there are Republicans for Obama, I'm ordering a free Obama button from MoveOn as well as a RfO bumper sticker. Is this one time hardcore Republican is turning wussy? (Yeah, I voted for Bush Sr.; unlike his son, he actually served in a war and was [gasp] smart enough to do well at Yale.) Seriously, I like real gun control (both hands, me in control, etc.), the death penalty ("some people just need killin"), and fiscal responsibility in government. (Oh wait, I guess that's been a Democrat thing since Clinton...silly me.) But I also support reproductive freedom and choice, marriage being a union between any two people who love each other, cultural tolerance, and that anyone wanting to have kids has to raise a dog right first. (Oh wait, that's my Republican side again. So confusing!)The RfO site linked to this YouTube vid; since I don't watch TV and rarely do random web searches, I hadn't seen it before. I listen to both kinds of music (country and western), so while this tune is kinda outta my musical taste, it is a catchy tune, a damn fine video, and a great snippet from MLK at the end woven into the song. Good stuff.
Maybe Gen X finally has a candidate, regardless of party, who actually speaks toward what we believe. We pretty much tuned out in the 90s and into the 2000s as well, except for protest votes along the way. And now, finally, we might have someone worth supporting. Someone to vote for, instead of someone to vote against.
Here's to hope.

Ya gotta have a little tolerance toward them Republicans Ol’ Son. They’re kinda like kids who eat with their hands ‘cause they ain’t learned to use silverware yet and they just make a mess at every turn. On the other hand, kids grow out of that phase quickly so maybe that ain’t a good analogy after all.
On second thought, to hell with tolerance, I reckon a good whippin’ is in order and I’m thinkin’ it’s comin’ right up.
Right on Dwight!
