I can't remember if I saw the word McPain, or dreamed it, but when I first heard about Palin, I quickly saw that if you remove the L, that stands for Love, you have pain and that rhymes with McCain.
If I use McPain for these two, I think I can be kinder, because I can see them in pain, a pain that requires floundering on McCain's part, and vicious attacks on Palin's. Seeing them in pain, lashing out, fearful is the way to deal with them without causing harm in myself or leaping to fear, defense, or attack.
We must surround them with love, ingest them as an amoeba takes in food, envelop, and in that, eliminate them, having absorbed the nourishment we need to take this election and claim true change.
