I've been away from this place for so long playing nice-nice that I am sure what I am saying is nothing new to anyone. But allow me to go on the record about what I think of McCain (v2008) and his pick of CaribouBarbie as VP candidate.
It sucks
McCain Sucks
Republicans Suck
Palin would suck, but something tells me that she just DOES NOT do that!
And let me tell you...it genuinely pains me to be so anti-McCain. Anyone who knew me back in 1999-2000 can tell you what a die-hard McCain-iac I was. He was a maverick. A guy who told the likes of Falwell, Robertson and Buchanan to "Suck it!".
And then he realized that he couldn't win without throwing away every value he ever had. Everything that made him a "maverick". Everything that made him a good and decent human being. Everything that made me want to vote for him
And so that Giant Sucking Sound that you've been hearing for the last 4 years? Has nothing to do with NAFTA. It's the sound of McCain sucking the dicks of right-wingers....the people who earned their well-deserved Seat At The Table in 1994, but never learned any table manners and who have been shitting in the punchbowl ever since.
And in Sarah Palin, they finally achieved orgasm.
ok - enough with the over-use of the word "suck"
Sarah Palin - a woman who clearly doesn't have her own house in order, but wants to walk the halls of the most famous house in the world.
A woman who wants to charge rape victims for their own rape kits.
A woman who has proclaimed her pleasure at her daughter's "Choice" to carry her pregnancy to term, but wants to ensure that that is the only "Choice" the rest of American women/girls have.
A woman whose qualifications for VP include being able to "see Russia from her shores" and serving a few years as Mayor of MethVille.
A woman who isn't able to give a speech without sneering. She's Ann Coulter with brown hair and glasses.
A woman who has no business leaving her small disabled child at home while she goes off in pursuit of the second most powerful job in the world. Yes- she has every right to do so and no, I'm not saying that moms shouldn't work. I'm saying that THIS mom shouldn't work....at least not now. There comes a point where people say "Sure - it sounds great and I am flattered to be asked...but I've got too much on my plate right now. It's not the right time". Instead she said "Family? What Family? My husband can take care of everything, including all therapies for our newborn and planning Bristol's shotgun wedding!".
Am I judging her choices? You bet your ass I am....she's perfectly willing to judge my choices and sneer at them. Tit for tat and all that....
And so...even though I have been a registered Republican since 1987...
Even though I have a vagina and according to the McCain Camp I should be tripping over myself in order to vote for other VaginaEndowedAmericans...
I will be proudly pulling the lever for Obama in November.
What remains to be seen is if I am pulling the lever in favor of Obama or against McCain
And the fact that I have not yet figured out which it is?
It sucks.
Mr Lady
Word. To your mother.
Maria
She TOTALLY sucks.
Lara
You know... my anti-palin post was much shorter. LOL
But yours had more meat to it. And yes I agree.
Lara
Well, except for the part for not knowing if I'm voting for Obama or against McCain.
I'm voting for Obama. Not entirely whole-heartedly, but it's still definitely for.

I love you. I really do. I can't believe you were able to describe everything I was feeling (except for the whole being for McCain in 2000 because I've never in my life sided with the Republicans on anything) about Sarah Palin. There's all this pressure to support her because we're both women. Yeah, well... I don't. Just because you've got boobs and a vagina doesn't mean you support women's rights and will represent my interests.

Thought you might get a kick out of this.

Amen Sistah! You tell IT! I am 110% on-board with you there!

I hated her before all this and I hate hearing about her all the time now. I wanna feed her to the wolves. Google that in your spare time... Sarah Palin, Wolves.
Emily
Yay! I'm so happy to see an (un-password protected) rant!
I am fearful of a country with her as #2. I am not convinced she's not "tucking"... The complete lack of female-like nurturing (which I think would rule in the White House) she portrays makes me wonder if she really is naturally vagina-endowed... 😛
High Hopes
ROFL vagina-endowed. 🙂

I thought Canadian Politics was bad - our prime minister looks like Sponge Bob Squarepants with his toothy grin, the opposition leader Stephan Dion can't pronounce the word monopoly and is a witless lackluster leader wannabee. We have a separatist Giles Doucette who would like to take Quebec out of confederation. Jack Layton who is a way too left leaning and then there are the so called Green Party Candidates who want to tax everything in the name of global warming.
Given the McCain - Obama thing I think I would rather stick with good old boring sponge bob and crew. BTW our was called in the beginning of September and we go to the polls in mid October - way faster and you don't have to listen to the rhetoric for a year.

She also can't give a speech without winking.
That totally creeps me out somehow.
High Hopes
Yeah whats with the winking? It is almost like she is trying to pick someone up in a bar.

Great post and oh so darn true. I was so relieved after the results of the election. The thought of her being in there really scared me!

i like the idea of a woman candidate in the beginning but the more i listen to her, the more i begin to doubt her.
