And I don't care who knows it.
I don't really have a problem with John McCain. I think he's slowly becoming the most liberal Republican ever, and the bullshit he's spewing out right now is to appeal to his base. Which is fine, whatever. He's a little too hung up on the military, but it's perfectly understandable. All in all, he seems reasonable, at the very least.
However, he is very old. And past the average life expectancy for a white American male, so he could very well die for no good reason any day now.
And then Sarah Palin could be president.
This thought disgusts me.
She is absolutely one of the stupidest people I have ever seen been in the public spotlight.
Having worked in various customer service settings since I was 14 years old, I encountered people just like her every day in the "real world." The kind of women who yaks on her cell phone while driving a minivan full of rotten spoiled children to soccer practice. The kind of entitled speshul snowflake who doesn't understand
why she needs her receipt to return merchandise, despite the fact it's been policy in every store I could ever think of for the past 40 years. The kind of woman who gets her steak well done in restauraunts, then complains about the long ass time it takes to burn the steak into a piece of rough shoe leather, then ends up sending it back anyway because she thinks she sees maybe just a tiny little bit of pink in the middle.
She is what my friends over at customers_suck would call an "EB" -- or "Entitled Bitch." She should be treated better than everyone else, just because she's never had anyone talk to her impolitlely before! Why would anyone say anthing bad about her? Isn't she sweet? Isn't she pretty? Doesn't she just warm your little heart till you feel full of down home goodness?
NO.
Miss Palin, you are not allowed to refuse to answer questions, to hide away from the American public, straight up lie about positions you've held, or dance around potential scandal just because you are pretty. Just because you're a mommy. Just because you say adorable things like "golly."
You could potentially be leading our country. At least W appears to have the appropriate "scared shitless" look 90% of the time.
And then, you want to turn around and say we should more closely examine Barack Obama, because he sorta knew Bill Ayers, once. Hilary Clinton already pointed that out a year ago, you worthless bint. In fact, Clinton has done more damage to Obama's campaign than you could ever do. She's already trashed him up and down the road so thoroughly that there's nothing left to point out.
And you lied about the Bridge to Nowhere! I know it's not even a Big Thing, as far as political scandals go, because it didn't involve sex or . . . well, sex, but you still lied. You keep saying you said "Thanks, but no thanks" in your whiny little nasal voice, but you didn't. In fact, you said, "Thanks a bunch, fellas! Oh, wait? We're not gonna build it? Well, you don't mind if we keep all this money for it then, do ya? Swell!"
And people make excuses for her! Even my own roommate says he's trying to go easy on her. WHY? WHAT'S THE POINT? She doesn't deserve your sympathy! She is absolutely a rotten candidate for anything, ever, and deserves to be slammed. I am one of the first people to get riled up over powerful woman's portrayal in the media -- they are usually treated more harshly than they deserve. So a few people use that excuse to go lightly on Sarah Palin, but they shouldn't.
I read an article that says liberal women hate Sarah Palin because she is a mother with a successful career, which of course family-hating feminazi liberal women can't believe exist or it will ruin their perfect little dream of sacrificing children so they can all be emascualting bitcy business women.
I can disprove that easily, as one of my main desires in life is to get married and have several children, as many as my husband will agree upon. I'll be taking his name when I get married! I'll cook! I'll clean! I'll get the kids ready for school and do my best to settle them down for bed! And hopefully during this time I'll find some way to draw comic books (my chosen career choice). I have no problem with women having careers, I have no problem with women having children. I have no problem with women doing both!
However, I don't think anyone with five children (four under the age of 18), male or female should be President at all. Mainly, for the children's sake. As President, you have to put your country first, and your children won't always understand that. (I do have a big problem with nannies -- it's one thing if you genuinely need one for a legitmate reason, and another thing if you have three nannies so you never actually have to deal with your children's problems).
It's come to such a point now that I automatically assume you must be a crazy racist idiot to support McCain/Palin. Maybe if it was McCain/Anyone Else there would be a little leeway. But the absolute hatred and stupidity coming from her side of the camp confounds and angers me.
Barack Obama may not be perfect. But he has amazing leadership skills and a wisdom beyond his years. Joe Biden can be condescending, and makes hilarious gaffes all the time, but he's got a level head on his shoulders and would definitely know how to run the country. I know I've jokingly commented how I really hate white people, and how I've eagerly been anticipating Obama being elected president because white people will be really uncomfortable for the next four years, but shit has come to blows.
Stop defending Sarah Palin. There's nothing there worth defending. And if you honestly can, for any reason, I think you're wrong, and an idiot.
And that's what really grinds my gears.
