Palin and Simple

Wow! Was it only 4 days ago that McClueless pounded the final nail in his coffin by announcing as his running mate a person who is absolutely unqualified for the office? Since then we've learned so much about Sarah Palin and none of what we've learned makes the McClueless choice seem any better. I don't even know where to begin.

How about her membership and involvement in the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP). This is a group whose stated goal is to have Alaska secede from the United States and become their own country, state, commonwealth, whatever. Yep, she'll fit in great with the McCain "Country First" motto. It makes you laugh and cry at the same time. Try to imagine the mainstream media outcry if a democratic candidate was a member of a group who's primary goal was to secede from the US.

There is a reason that potential running mates are normally vetted. McCain should have tried it. Instead, Mrs. Palin went unvetted simply because Magoo was so desperate to come up with a running mate after the Democratic Convention that he panicked, used bad judgment, and made a rash, painfully terrible decision. All this, despite having a solid 6 months to choose a running mate.

This decision also calls into question who exactly is running the McShame campaign? The word is that McShame wanted Lieberman as his running mate but the GOP puppet masters wouldn't allow it. Then he wanted Tom Ridge and was once again shouted down. These candidates were apparently unacceptable to the "christian" right because they are pro-choice. So the "maverick" caved and selected a complete abortion of a running mate, a person who he had only ever met one time in his entire life before selecting. Is this the kind of person you want running the most powerful nation in the world? A real "maverick" or even a real LEADER would have told Rove and his cronies to go fuck themselves and would have selected the candidate that he felt was best for the job.

Next, we find out that Mrs. Palin is a strong supporter of "abstinence only" sex education. Which studies have shown is worse than no sex education at all. It's as effective as telling a young child to just abstain from eating that piece of chocolate. Shortly thereafter, we find out that Mrs. "Abstinence Only"'s 17 year old, unmarried daughter is pregnant. Priceless.

So now we are looking at a shotgun wedding between wild child sexually irresponsible daughter and her 18 year old boyfriend. I'm sure a wedding is in both of their best interests. Right. But it will please the "christian" right, and that's the important thing. And we won't even get into the statutory rape side of the coin. But just imagine how this would play out in the media if Obama had a 17 year old daughter under the same scenario. Holy shit, it would be a media frenzy, three ring circus. Game, set, match.

A reasonable person and a responsible political party would put an end to this disaster promptly. Remove her from the ticket and add a qualified candidate. This makes the most sense for the republican party as well as for the United States, if God forbid, this senile fool of a candidate somehow wins the election. But we're talking republicans here, so don't expect her to withdraw anytime soon. Instead, we'll be bombarded with sunshine and bullshit stories from the mainstream media until the ignorant masses are brainwashed into believing that her inexperience and lack of qualifications are actually good for our country.

I'll leave you with this video of McCain lustfully staring at Palin's ass as he Freudian-twiddles with his wedding band. After her speech, he mistakenly called her Monica. OK, I made up that last part, but it would go a long way toward understanding why he really chose her as his running mate. Enjoy the video, compliments of jedreport.com
