Straight shootin', straight talkin' Sarah Palin...

"...perhaps..."

How the hell is that straight talk? Personally, I'd like a straight answer about whether or not she would start WWIII over a po-dunk country like Georgia. Not to mention, a "small democracy" run by an imbecile. Georgia's president is like the little runt on the grade school playground who just befriended the number one bully in the school. And now that he's friends with the biggest, baddest kid in the school he's going to start shit with all the other kids because he thinks the bully is going to back him up any time he starts a fight. And we may "perhaps" stick up for that little runt.

Shit, the Republicans have been doing anything but "straight-talking" the last few weeks. Unless, you consider preaching to the fanatical choir and talking shit "straight-talking".

It's a terrifying thought that this fanatical woman might be one breath away from being the commander-and-chief. In my opinion, the commander-and-chief needs to possess a little more finesse in dealing with a country like Russia than a self-righteous pit-bull with lipstick or a reactionary barracuda.

Wow, didn't Nostradamus predict that a woman would lead the strongest country in the history of the world to it's downfall, thus leading to the end of the world? Sarah Palin could very well be that woman. I swear that woman is the anti-Christ.

And one more thing: does anyone really think people would be so sprung on Sarah Palin if she were fat, ugly, and had to solely rely on here intellect rather than verbal assaults, snide looks, and camera winks for her appeal? I highly doubt it, otherwise Hillary would have won the Democratic nomination. Poor Hillary, if only she were sexy like Obama and Sarah then she could be president too.

Damn, this country is so superficial and idiotic. We truly deserve this mess we've gotten ourselves into. I just hope that the masses don't choose to get us out of this hole we've dug ourselves into by choosing to bear down and dig deeper (electing McSame). But hell, third time could be a charm.

I guess God doesn't like Texas

Maybe, Jerry Fahwell and his fanatical evangelicals should line up along the Gulf Coast and pray their self-righteous hearts out for Hurricane Ike to disappear? I'm sure God would listen to them. After-all, it's not like they're French Quarter faggots or something. These are true Texas believers here!

So, c'mon faithful fanatics! Put your faith to the test and line up along the Gulf Coast to save your beloved state. There's no way it can fail as long as you have faith! God will show those non-believers when He makes the hurricane suddenly dissipate before our eyes!

God, if only our country were that lucky.

If God really wanted to punish us he wouldn't send hurricanes at us. He'd just sit back and watch us do ourselves in. That's the worst punishment of all.

"We can't kill our way to victory in Afganistan"

No, shit! Those fools in the pentagon/white house are finally figuring that out. Shit, did they already forget about Vietnam?! Wow, you think they would read up on basic military history/strategy before going all cowboy up into a major conflict that will shape our country and the world for generations to come.

You can't "liberate" a people and expect them to like you if their day-to-day lives' are worse than before they were "liberated". You have to make their lives' better and stop killing them for them to accept/like you!

Man, it's scary to think how incompetent/ignorant our leaders are. Now, if only they could come to the same conclusion to "winning in Iraq"-make their lives' better than before we got there.

Me first, country second crowd...

Wait, isn't that the Republicans? The people that don't want to raise the taxes of the rich in order to help out those less fortunate than them. The military industrial complex that profits from foreign wars such as Vietnam and Iraq.

Yeah, and like you care about education. How do you expect to fund education without raising taxes? Blaming teachers who lack the resources to succeed and work in unstable communities that are drug infested, gang infested, crime-ridden, and dirt poor is not a solution. Your plan is a pipe-dream, especially without money. Good luck with that one. Man, we're fucked if we elect these idiots.

I hope another protester does something soon or I'm changing this shyt.

Oh great, now he's trying to use the fear of the Russians like Bush did the fear of the "terrorists".

"The Maverick" pulls out his secret weapon...

a milf for vice-president. Now there's a way to shake up the election. I almost didn't care that she said nothing of any real depth or importance during her RNC speech. Not to mention, she told a few lies about her record. She just looked so damn hot and feisty when she was taking pot-shots at Barack Obama. Way to pull a double standard and prey on the biases and prejudices of those "smooth talking city-slickers" just like they do towards you and your small town folk. You'll make a great Republican leader, Sarah. You've already got that demagogue thing down pat.

Damn, Barack. You should have picked her. I wish she was your Obama girl.

Two thumbs of freedom up your ass and a bitch slap of change, America. They'll strike the fear (glory) of God into America and the world one way or another! They're not looking for a fight, but they've got the glory of God on their side. So look out because they ain't afraid to fight! I can't wait for some change, some Republican style change with a dash self-righteous evangelicalism.

And did anyone see the shot of Cindy McCain before she was passed Sarah's special child? It was hilarious! She looked absolutely mortified. Every time they showed her with the baby cradled uncomfortably in her arms her face read: "Oh my God, for the love of God let this be over soon. Get this "special child" out of my hands. Oh my God, I think he just shit his pants."

McCain is right, experience counts...

One of the reoccurring themes of the election has been "experience". McCain claims that Obama doesn't have the necessary experience to lead America out of the mess that eight-years of Republican leadership has gotten us into. I would claim that Obama's lack of experience is a good thing, especially compared to McCain's formidable life experience.

Time and action have proven that McCain has the experience of not having the cognitive fortitude to make sound decisions (6 plane crashes), remember the names of countries, or where exactly he owns homes. In addition, McCain is a renowned hothead (which he himself admits with pride in his memoir). I mean, do we really want a president that is able to hold is breath until he passes out when things don't go his way?

And when did getting tortured become a qualification for being president? I mean, we should show him some respect for his patriotism. But truth be told, if he wasn't such a reckless pilot he wouldn't have gotten himself into that mess in the first place. And he even had a chance to get out, but chose not to because he wanted to make his father proud. That sounds more like reckless pride with a touch of masochism than patriotism to me. Those are not qualities I want in a president.

One more thing-elitism. I find nothing more funny than a bunch of rich white-men calling a black-man who "pulled himself up by his bootstraps" an elitist. I mean, you don't get more elitist than the Bush or McCain family. I guess, they don't consider going to Yale or being a member of skull and bones despite being a pathetic student elitism. Cronyism is cool in the Republican party, but elitism is bad. That's why Americans are always touting values such as: "we're number 1", "the leaders and the best", "the best man for the job", "with hard work and perseverance the cream rises to the top", Regan's "trickle down economics", tax-cuts for the ultra-rich, and worshipping elite athletes like Michael Phelps. America was founded and built on elitist values, especially the Republican party. There's nothing more hypocritical or ridiculous than Republicans touting anti-elitism.

So, McCain is absolutely right. Experience matters. And his life experiences portray more of an egotistical, self-righteous, elitist, masochist than a patriot who puts the well-being and future of his country in front of his own ego. His maverick status isn't so much because he is concerned about change or doing things differently, but because he's a hard-headed asshole whose used to getting and doing what he wants. And when he doesn't get what he wants he holds his breath until he passes out. In other words, he puts himself in needless danger in order to appease his bloated ego. Except, when he's president he'll be putting the whole country at the mercy of his reckless, egotistical whims.

America is #1, indeed. No need to worry.

All the new trashcans are so confusing...
