Courage of Conviction

So I guess according to Pete Matthews, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Council 33, those of us who support Sen. Santorum are Satanists. 

You can always tell when we are coming to the close of a campaign, the rhetoric heats up, just as Mr. Matthews shows us here. 

What’s interesting in my mind is that once you can call someone the Anti-Christ, or Satan, what does that leave you with?  There’s still something like 20 days left before the election.  Any other name-calling just isn’t going to reach this level.  I mean seriously, after being referred to as the spawn of all evilness, the prince of darkness, nothing else can possibly compare.

It kind of reminds me of kindergardeners who call each other names.  They start out calling each other “dummies” and go to “poopie-heads” and such.  At some point one kid calls the other something really bad, or insults the other kids mother.  After you’ve gone there, you really run out of options.  You know what happens don’t you?  Since they have no other option, they go back to the beginning - “yeah, well, you’re a dummy!”

 That’s what this whole thing reminds me of.  Mr. Matthews, I feel no choice but to ask you to write on the chalkboard “I will not call Mr. Santorum names”  100 times.  Now be a good boy and and do that and if you do, you’ll get a lollypop.
