I Loves Me a Third Bush Term

Wow. McCain chose a female running mate. This would seem surprising of a man who publicly called his wife "a c**t", but as we delve deeper, we notice that it's actually quite smart. He can try to sweep up the female voters who are still whining about Hillary's loss, and more importantly try to convince working families that he is more in touch with them (Palin being "a hockey mom", and such). I would think Palin would be more than a little upset at the fact that she was chosen as a running mate (as Joy nicely put it) "just because she has a uterus", since her measly 2 years as a governor (not even anything national) nicely prepares her for the most important part of her political career...being eaten alive by Joe Biden in the debates. Which I look forward to.

So far, the outspoken aspects of Palin seem to be continuations of the fears and prejudices that Republicans thrive on: Pro-life, "Oil companies love you love time", homophobia, and creationism in schools. Which is apparently soooooo important to people who don't have healthcare, can't feed their children, and are losing their homes. Religion is, once again, the trump card to determine whether or not you are suitable to balance a budget and keep families working. May I remind you that in Sweden, one of the most successful and prosperous nations in the world, is more than 85% atheist? Nothing to argue over, I guess.

How the rest of the world sees us:




Not to mention the fact that my main beef with McCain (which is more than a little ironic) is that he is blatantly more two-faced than John Kerry (supposedly) ever was. He (Kerry) was called a "flip-flopper" during the 2004 election season, due to the fact that he was openly opposing the war (Iraq and Vietnam) that he earlier approved. We will forget (conveniently) that there is a HUGE difference between someone who said "This seems like a good idea" and later says "Oops, my bad", than McCain and Bush...who have BOTH denied their original standings! "Oh...well...uhh...I never said that. I don't recall that." Bush fed the country that for 8 years and people loved it. Then nothing gets accomplished, and we call it...progress?

I'm so friggin' sick of all the damn lies! It literally makes my chest ache watching McCain rise in the ranks, when all throughout 2000 - 2006, EVERYTIME you saw McCain he was on someone else's side! He agrees with Bush, "Oh wait, I never said that", then the Democrats, "Oh wait, I never said that". Then he switches to whatever side he thinks will make him look good. It's fucking disgusting, and people love it.

Then, when he ends up keeling over in office, the presidency will be taken over by someone who knows JACK SHIT about leading! Did you even LISTEN to Obama's speech? He wants to make the country better! He's not concerned with that endless rhetoric of pointing fingers and telling you who to blame for everything! Republicans prey on your fears. And the sad thing is...it works every time.
