A Palin in the Ass

I took a little bit of grief for calling Sarah Palin the "C" word in my previous post. I am not one that uses that term loosely but in this case I feel it is justified. That woman is simply a deplorable human being who has no business being one 72 year old heart beat away from running this country. To think otherwise is nothing more them foolishness and the most partisan of politics.

I hate anyone that wants to keep a section of society down that does absolutely nothing to them. That is called bullying and she is nothing more then that. Her stances regarding the gay community are unforgivable. Any right minded person who votes for her is voting for keeping gays down in the closet and without benefits. She not only doesn’t support gay marriage, she is against civil unions, life partner health benefits and her church believes you can pray away the gay. She is also on record agasint gays adopting. (of course she is also pro-life so, put your unwanted kid up for adoption but make sure none of them big city gays gets your unwanted child.)

It saddens me that in 2008 we live in a country where it is ok, to keep a section of society down like this. If we said, that blacks couldn’t get married would that be ok? Or how about Latino couple can not adopt a white child? Is that ok? I don’t get what two people do in the privacy of their own bedroom have to do with anyone else. Palin and her ilk are nothing more then hate mongers. They can use the bible all they want to defend their hate, but deep down they know it is bullshit. Gays for whatever reason give them the willies and that, and that alone is the reason they try to create laws to keep them as second class citizens.

If that wasn’t enough reason to label Palin the C word, well, then maybe it is her art of bullshit. I mean there is lying and then there is Palin who is astonishingly gifted at it. There is an old saying, lie enough and it becomes the truth. This has always been the GOP’s political strategy. (Just Google John Kerry and swift boating.) Palin claims she has always been against the bridge to nowhere. This is simply not true. She is on video in 2006 (two short years ago) saying when asked about it, “I'm not going to stand in the way of progress that our congressional delegation and the position of strength that they have right now.”

She also claims she is against earmarks and wasteful spending. Well, her actions sure speak otherwise. When she became mayor of Wasilla, the books were all balanced. She left the office with over 2 million in debt. Alaska received 52 earmarks valued at 256 million while she has been in office. Do you smell that? Ya, it is a big steaming pile of bullshit.

Not enough for you, well how about the fact that to a man anyone that has dealings with her that shared an opposing viewpoint has described her as being vindictive and a bully. We can disagree on issues. I have a number of friends and family that I disagree with politically, but we do so in a civil manner. Palin, from a number of stories I have read when she does not get her way turns into a spoiled brat who will use her power to make sure she gets her way. If you oppose her you get fired or smeared.

Palin is the type of politician that gets into the game for all the wrong reasons. Is not to better people, it is to force her views onto others. Obama is a smart man who came from nothing to get where he is today. And for that the Right and Palin mock him. She is an evil woman and if you watch this youtube clip and don’t get scarred then something is wrong with you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG1vPYbRB7k&ei=KiDISMj2F5ikMo3WyB4&usg=AFQjCNFE5WD6DLSSJkxS5BgBvRGf5WVRGw&sig2=jBvyKLT2i4ybVweQu1O_EA

Look, at the end of day I don’t think being a Hockey Mom and the governor of a state with a quarter of the population of Brooklyn qualifies you to be Vice President. She stands for everything that is wrong with American politics today. The fact that people have become smitten with her proves beyond a reasonable doubt that, we have become a nation of drooling boobs who only respond to issues that have no bearing on the health and prosperity of our country.

In case you haven’t noticed we are in what I would call, the shits. House prices are dropping so fast our collective heads are spinning. The economy is in the toilet. Gas costs over $4.00 a gallon. Unemployment is reaching highs not seen since the Regan years. We are fighting a winless war that John McCain keeps wanting to fight, while the real asshole that attacked us on 9/11 is still out there. To ignore all that and vote for a guy who for as much as wants to call himself a “maverick” has agreed with the Bush polices at a 90% clip is criminal. There is no other choice of words.

Eight years of George W. Bush has created a country at the lowest point of my lifetime. I don’t know if Barrack Obama is the answer. I do know that John McCain and Sarah Palin are not. For a Republican I never really had anything against McCain. I actually felt sorry for him after the campaign Bush ran against him in 2000. But, all that was thrown out the window when he chose this degenerate as his running mate and then ran the same kind of campaign he rallied against in 2000. If America falls for this shit yet again then there really is no hope. If you are even entertaining the idea of voting for McCain all I have to ask is have you just completely buried your head in the sand for the past eight years.
