Stumble It!

Beyond the Palin
WTF?!? I had originally thought that the GOP had three brain cells left, and they were locked in an argument over who to bomb next, but I now know they’re all gone. After all of his blustering (no doubt with the help of a breathing apparatus) about experience being the deciding factor in choosing a Commander-In-Chief, he taps a virtually unknown governor from a state with two electoral votes. Why? Because he’s running scared, and will do anything he can to get his wrinkled, liver-spotted fist around the throat of America. Because he’s doing what the established order of Washington always does when they’ve run out of intelligent things to say: he changed the subject. Because having a pro-life, pro assault rifle, pro drilling, evangelical as a Vice President is somehow radical because she’s a woman.
Fear and desperation are the motivating factors behind this choice. At 44, Palin isn’t even old enough to become President should McCain actually get elected and drop dead of a surprise heart attack by the news. The only foreign policy experience she has is making life harder for Inuits and keeping black people out of Alaska(both blacks and Eskimos look foreign to most white people). This is a woman who’s family demands come second to her career, and that’s saying quite a bit, as she has five children-including one with Down’s Syndrome. What you have here is a mother who would gladly sacrifice her family to promote party goals. A veritable newbie to the scene who was tapped in a blatant attempt to grab disgruntled Hillary voters. I am just as qualified to be Vice President as Sarah Palin, and so are you. We’re only going to hear talking points from this candidate, which may play into the section of America that wants to be spoonfed ideology in three word phrases. But there is no substance, no experience, no proof that she has any knowledge of the world at large. And that may appeal to Republican voters, as most of them only know about countries outside of America after we blow them to Hell.
John McCain has once again proven to the American people that he lacks the ability to run the show. By appealing to his spinsters, handlers, and number crunchers, he’s delivering a message that says: I’m running a campaign based solely on manipulation. I’ll give him this though, it takes a lot of balls to be to lie to a nation. To play the gender card when it’s a hot button issue. To appeal to our fears. To attack his opposition then steal their lines. To stage rallies that background check the participants. To speak to the NAACP after voting against the MLK holiday. To support torture. To vote against veterans attending a college of their choosing. To say that being a POW is the reason he cheated on his first wife. To marry into wealth and say that he represents the common man. To have no environmental policy. To have no drug policy. To support tax breaks for Big Oil. To continue the practice of shipping American jobs overseas.
This man is a hack, a panderer of the worst kind, and a disgrace to anyone who’s donned a uniform in service of this country. A selfish, bitter old man with a personal agenda to secure his legacy. And I can’t wait to watch the VP debates.
