Now... those of you who REALLY know me... know that I must have REALLY been annoyed to actually sit down and write this blog.
At the outset of the Election cycle I was "Fired up and Ready to go!" But now... not so much. For various reasons, which I shall not go into at THIS time, I view Politics as a big show to make all of the "little" people think they have a choice... but in actuality... they really don't. I quickly learned that Presidents are nothing more than figureheads who do the bidding of THEIR masters... people you and I never see. Democrats and Republicans are just red and blue components of one big flying purple people eater... Hence the last eight years of Bush tearing down the country... and Hence my lack of political commentary on this years Donkey vs. Elephant debacle.
HOWEVER...
I just HAVE to say something...
Even though I don't keep up on the day to day blunders of this campaign season... it is hard not to see and hear about them on the news... and everywhere else. Obama's floundering to Israel... Mccains floundering to Israel... NO COMMENT ON THAT.
Obama's grovelling to "evangelicals" McCain grovelling to "evangelicals"... Obama's Father's day speech... (as if black men needed another reminder as to why they aren't crap in this country... and as if no other racial group in America suffers from the problem of single parenting...) McCain... owner of NINE not seven but NINE homes... painting the community organizer from Chicago as the Elitist... and pretending like he even THINKS about the economy... blah blah blah...
I mean... Woody Allen couldn't have written a better script for this "election season".
Despite all of these things I just shook my head and kept it moving because... frankly I don't have any real faith in ANY of this three ring circus crap... but then along came Palin... and I just can't... I mean... WHAT????
Im used to the Republican party being smug and elitist.... I'm used to the Karl Rove crap... I'm used to racial innuendo in politics... I expected the Muslim references and Obama/Osama word associations (although the evidence points more to atheism and not to Islam)... I wasn't surprised at the "community organizer" bash-fest at the RNC... or the consistent "spin" of Fox Noise.. eh hem "News"... I mean not much surprises me. Sarah Palin DID surprise me.
This woman has me REALLY feeling sorry for Hilary Clinton... and THAT is a stretch. NO Im not misogynistic and I think a woman who is qualified should be given all of the same job opportunities as any man including the Presidency... I do have a daughter and would never teach her that lack of male genitalia means she is not good enough for ANYTHING... and also because whoever gets it will just do as they are told anyway. I mean I may not like her politics... BUT this woman knows her stuff and has been fighting her way through the political grinder all of her life. Now... because it is an unjust system to begin with... I can't say I blame her for her tactics. But now... This dingbat Sarah Palin who has done ABSOLUTELY nothing is poised to be the next puppet VP and as Mccain is three million years old and pees fossil fuels... she stands to be the next puppet President!!! I HAVE seen her record.. not impressed as most of the day to day governance's were handled by an aide... and crystal meth DID flourish under her capable leadership... not to mention the fact that she came to a debt free Wascilla... and left it millions in debt... or that she hired high school friends for important public offices, paid them HUGE salaries... and cut programs the state really needed so that they could KEEP those salaries... and Im just naming a few off the top of my head... I mean wow!! Only in America! (sarcasm mine)
Now... all lipstick references to pigs, pitbulls, and any other mammal that may have been mentioned aside... Im gonna be honest. I am not so much surprised that she was selected.. as I am surprised that they were confident enough in American stupidity to let Charlie Gibson Rip her to shreds in front of the American Public... and literally show that she knows NOTHING about ANYTHING.. and there was no major cry of alarm from the masses. Nobody seems to have noticed that they have just been slapped about the face and called an idiot by the ruling elite. I know I know... "In what way Charlie?"
I mean... being able to see Russia from ones yard or even state... does not give one foreign policy experience... especially when America is enemies with just about every country with nuclear or NU-CUE-LER as Palin and Bush pronounce it... weapons.
Saying Charlie's first name every fifteen seconds is NOT a way to get people to believe you know what you are talking about... you simply look like rain man.
I wouldn't want a "pitbull with lipstick" (she called HERSELF that) or a crotchety billion year old man who can't raise his arms above his shoulders... who sings bomb bomb Iran in his Ambien induced coma to his malfunctioning stepford wife... next to the RED BUTTON... but that's just me. This should be a major issue to people who actually believe that the President they elect actually runs this country... but apparently... not so much.
I guess all the fluoride in the water is really working after all.
