In an attempt to discredit Barack Obama during the Republican National Convention, the GOP went on a calculated attack against community organizers. I am really beginning to believe these idiots will say anything and everything to get elected. As an example, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani had this to say:

“On the other hand, you have a resume from a gifted man with an Ivy League education. He worked as a community organizer. What? [Laughter]…I said, OK, OK, maybe this is the first problem on the resume.”

How is it possible that someone with so much "executive experience" as himself doesn't think being a CO is a good thing? Oh, because he's a naïve prick and a liar. By the way, you can still donate towards his 2008 Presidential Bid on his website, regardless of the fact that donating is the only thing you can do on his site now. And he's already lost his bid.

Fact is, COs are incredible people. They work to help the people who are facing poverty, illness, unemployment, and house foreclosure. Hell, you could safely classify the Boys and Girls Club, YMCA, Food Kitchens, and United Way as COs. Funny thing is, if the good people that chose to be COs were elected they'd be just like most politicians -- only they'd actually help people. We should all be helping people in need and our government should fucking thank people for doing their part, not play it off like it's childish.

Now, most of us should be able to see through the bullshit the GOP is vomiting all over America so it's not so much the attacks that bother me. It's their inability to deem what they're doing as alienating themselves from the Americans whose votes they've lost in the last eight years. Hopefully the Church that has typically assumed God is a Republican will notice what's really being said. Churches are COs, no? Food drives, missions, shelter... The GOP thinks you don't have a real job... or at least don't know what you do and why it might be a great thing.

Get out there and do something.
