Palin
Here is what I have heard so far about Palin:
She supports animal torture and rewards anyone who brings in the foreleg of a wolf with cash.
She enjoys killing endangered species and encourages it.
She made it law that any woman who makes a complaint of rape
has to pay for the rape kit needed for trial. Ain't that sweet.
She believes that only
her family has the right to fertility choice.
She left the city in which she was mayor 20 million dollars in debt...a neat trick for a place that wouldn't even be eligible for township in any other state because it's population was too small.
Despite saying in every speech that she rejected the bridge to nowhere she in fact heartily accepted it and when the shit hit the fan she panicked and instead of sticking to her obviously nonexistent "principles" she said no to the bridge but she said yes, yes, yes to the money for it. No one really knows where that money went either because it seems she had some problems with the guy whose responsibility was to control the budget...seems he may have been honest and worse he may have supported her ex brother in law in his custody dispute with her sister..so of course she fired his ass. Now she is refusing to co-operate with the investigation because two of the unanimously selected senators are Democrats who...gasp..support Obama!!!!!
Gotta love that truth and openness..that straight talk express...
She also believes homosexuality is a sin and a mental illness requiring psychiatric treatment. I guess we can assume she isn't into gay marriage either.
She believes in the apocalyptic church, meaning she believes in revelations and the end of times...comforting that a possible world leader is looking forward cheerfully to the end of the world.
So go out and vote for Palin, she thinks that electrocuting, shooting or trapping wild animals is great, she believes that rape and babies are a fine and happy mix, she has never left the country, she has never met a world leader, it took her six colleges to get a bullshit journalism degree and she thinks the secret to fixing the horrific banking crisis is to wait until the election and then maybe get the congress together and maybe get some regulations in place that will make sure that government gets out of the way of big business...yes, you did read that right...yes, she is a moron. I can't think of a better idea than to wait six months before intervening in the banking crisis by stripping away what useless regualtions are still left, hell by then there wont be anything left to intervene in.
I warned over and over again that if America wasn't careful China would own it.
Give it six months and who ever is elected will be answering to Saudi and China before they can make any decisions or worse they will ignore any help and inflation will be fifty percent.
How do you think Zimbabwe ended up as such a disaster? Because it was run by a dictator who refused to listen to anyone...is Bush, McCain, Palin any different?
American Idiots
Only in America would a man with two teenage sons tell the police the reason he stayed in an area where he was told explicitly "if you stay you will die" is..wait for it...."hey, the surf looked really good".
Or even better: "we didn't want someone stealing our stuff"....the area is presently under thirty feet of water so what mad cap thieves in boats are wandering around looking to steal some idiots ten year old television?
What is maddening is these people are the very same people who call 911 and demand a rescue , demanding that someone else risk their life because of their idiocy. Why should anyone who has been told over and over to get the hell out have the right to a rescue?
Rescue yourself asshole, emergency providers have families and lives too and obviously your level of stupidity means society wont miss your contribution.
And why does CNN have reporters stuck on Galveston Island repeatedly saying people here are facing "certain death" while standing 10 feet from the sea wall? Are they trying to kill these guys? Maybe they were in contract talks and they weren't going all that well and this is a convenient way to settle the issue?
Why does CNN revel in natural disasters? I have spun the dial and no one else is covering this storm. Hell, no one is covering the massive dust storm in Arizona either.
I just want one question answered by Sara Palin..still think global warming doesn't exist?
And a few more for Palin..how come
your kid gets to make a choice about having a kid but you have decided that no one else in the country should have that right? It's obvious that tragedy has never touched your family when you say any woman who has been raped by a stranger or a family member should be forced by law to have that child but it's fine to have an abortion "if the mothers life is in danger".
Obviously you are too stupid to live. Your argument is flawed moron. If it's okay to abort..it's okay to abort. By stating that a mother's life takes precedence over the life of a child and that the child can be aborted you are stating that
the mother's life takes precedence. Her life holds more weight. Now square that thinking with your life begins at conception theory...aren't you advocating
murdering a child to save it's mother?
You don't get to have it both ways idiot.
Either you believe that a woman has a right to choose or you believe that the child is a person with rights at conception. You cannot play semantics.
Either it's alive with rights or it isn't.
This is why no anti abortion right wing nutbar should get a single vote but hey it's America where half the country can't follow even a simple argument forget about a complicated one. Worse, they have the attention span of a four year old and the listening skills of a newborn. Ask half the population in a week what McCain actual believes in and you will get a hilarious response that has more to do with Obama.
I did have to laugh and cringe when Whoopi asked McCain if he was advocating the return to slavery when he said he would only be appointing judges that have a strict interpretation of the constitution.
It's really not funny when you think about it.Equal rights and the Abolishment of slavery are actually
amendments to the original constitution and if one wanted to strictly interpret the "constitution" one could disregard
all the amendments really.
I am incredibly pessimistic about the US election. I know that at least a quarter of Americans are morons that should have their right to vote stripped from them for their virulent racism, their ignorance of equal rights and their penchant for at least one of the following; drunk driving, wife beating, child abuse and petty thievery. I know this quarter will elect the next President and I bet they will vote for McCain, only because he's white.
And with McCain and Palin in charge we can all welcome the end of times.
If you happen to have one of these fools in your family tree do the world a favour and get them drunk on voting day and steal their car keys. Who knows if all Americans could come together to keep their idiot family members away from the voting booth but it could save the world.
Remember that Obama is not the second coming, he is just a regular politician with a talent for public speaking but he is not scary, he has no plans to begin a holy war and he actually believes you all have a right to health care...seems like a safe vote to me.
diplomacy
I really wanted to write this entry with sensitivity and thoughtfulness and then I thought ..fuck it. Did John McCain just pick a possible felon for vice president? Worse did he just pick a hypocrite who has consistently lied her ass off about being a "good christian family"?
I am a woman who has a child. One child. My kid gets my full attention when she needs it and sometimes when she doesn't. I can just about financially support her needs for a good future for her that includes meaningful travel and a good university education.
Palin has five children. One of which is a newborn which she is breastfeeding that has
Downs syndrome. Which by the way she "kept a secret" from her family for months because she says "she wasn't sure she would be able to bond with this child" as if she had some other choice in the matter.
She not only kept the child's condition a "secret" she kept her pregnancy a secret.
Why? She was already the governor, what was she afraid of? Did she think she would be run out of office by some bizarre faction of crazed Alaskan baby haters?
But more importantly what the hell was up with her brother in law that she hated him so much she literally
had to have his ass fired? I mean she fired the sheriff because he refused to fire her own brother in law. Now I can't say I know or understand what part of the family this brother in law originates from..maybe it's her husbands side? who knows cause nobody is talking are they? Isn't this a private issue? The kind of thing normal functional families deal with amongst themselves without involving the press and the courts?
But this isn't a normal, god fearing upright christian family now is it?
This is a woman that refuses to believe in global warming and spends her free time killing things for entertainment, she tried to implement creationism in the schools...in Alaska for goodness sake.
And if you are dumb enough to believe the Republicans this is the very best candidate for Vice President they could find.
This woman has never left the US except for a trip to visit the troops and that trip obviously didn't include any stop overs to view and experience any foreign cultures.
Her qualifications are she ran a tiny little town as mayor. I can only imagine the important issues she faced daily there, it must have been overwhelmingly not stressful at all. She then picked up the governorship of the state with the smallest population in the union that was rolling in oil money. There were about 600,000 people in Alaska in 2006 . 80,000 of them are disabled in some way. Did she think they would be unsympathetic to a baby with Downs? Or are they now kind of disgusted with her comments?
88% have finished high school but only a quarter when on to university. I guess her biggest challenge as governor was how to get more kids into university...wow what a heart wrenching challenge to be faced with.
Maybe it's the challenge of having less than 20% of the population be people of colour?
Maybe the 10% below poverty rate she has never addressed because over 60% of her constituents own their own home and make almost $60,000 . How about the fact that non white people own a whopping almost 12% of all businesses. I guess that's one way to empower the indigenous population which makes up the highest percentage of the poverty stricken. Nothing like moving in to someone
else's land,
stealing it from them and then making them beholden to the state for their own survival. I guess she has done loads to ease their suffering...
Or maybe the biggest thing she has ever done in her entire career was to say no to a bridge that the press had discovered went nowhere and was a blatant cash grab. Good to know that when the whole world is watching she can do the right thing. When no one is watching she is busy trying to get her brother in law fired and firing
sheriffs but hey isn't that exactly how George Bush and Dick Cheney have been operating for eight years? Maybe she is a brilliant choice!
Her opinion on the military and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are going to be invaluable too. She can shoot a big gun and she has killed
lot's of things and her son has enlisted and will be in Iraq pretty soon. That shouldn't be a distraction for her at all will it? I mean she has five children. One is just a newborn with Downs syndrome that she wasn't sure she really wanted, the other three have a full time nanny and her other one is preparing to possibly die in a war his mom wants to continue for "as long as it takes to achieve victory". She of course couldn't define what "victory" meant but hell who cares it's only her kid, she can make another one right?
I guess her semi anonymous husband who appears to spend more time in the oil fields and on a fishing boat than at home can just give up his jobs and raise the new baby with the nanny while the nominee travels the country begging for votes from the evangelical right while waiting for her seventeen year old daughter and her baby daddy to get the nursery prepared while the nanny and the husband plan that shotgun wedding.
That baby daddy is really ready too, he deleted his my space comments about not wanting any children at the same time his girlfriend was pregnant so obviously he really,really wants a baby now.
This is the very best the Republican party can offer. A woman that has demanded that abstinence is the only way, creationism is the only truth, global warming is a lie, abortion should be illegal.. all the while having a nanny raising her kids and lying about her newborn to her own children. A woman that is more than happy to sacrifice her own child to the war machine without a second thought.........
Is this the woman anyone wants to be a heart beat away from the Presidency?
She is the reason you should vote for
Obama. I don't care if he is inexperienced,
Biden will help him out along with everyone else he picks.
Who else is
McCain going to choose to run the government? If
Palin is the very best it can only get more and more terrifying..who will be Secretary of State? Who will be in charge of the treasury? What incompetent will be in charge of Homeland Security? Then there is Justice and the entire military industrial complex..who will McCain and
Palin choose?
Are you scared yet?
You fucking should be.
McCain is a man with no experience in actual combat, he knows nothing but being a POW. All he thinks about is victory, winning at all costs because he still has an eighteen year
olds view of war. He never had to see his enemy when he dropped bombs on them, he never patrolled in the dead of night. He was relatively safe in a prison he could have left if he wanted to. This is a man that has never resolved Vietnam and now he wants his chance and Iraq will be resolved if in his own words"it takes a hundred years". Iraq is McCain's way to resolve his own personal issues about the defeat in Vietnam. Is the Presidency the right place for therapy?
What about the economy? What about the environment? What about renewable resources? What about innovation to break the ties of foreign oil?...
McCain's solution is to destroy one of the last wild places and he has the governor of the state of Alaska on board.
Hell, she likes to kill the wildlife anyway so it's not like she cares if they are injured, she will just pick something else to shoot at.
What about health care?
Yeah right.
McCain is about two things, drilling oil and Iraq. If that is what you want in a President go for it. I am sure it will be an enjoyable and profitable presidency for big oil and all the companies whose only products are bullets, guns, tanks,helicopters and so on and so on
infinitum.
