I am amazed at the Republican's continual assertion that vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin is a miracle woman, since she has been able to raise a family and have a career. One post even said that Palin is the "first mother of five" with a career in politics. Doesn't Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi have five kids?
Palin is NOT the first woman to do these things. She's not even the first vice-presidential nominee to do so. That honor belongs to Geraldine Ferraro, who had kids and a career while Palin was still in high-school. Palin, is, however, the first Republican woman to be allowed to have a job and kids. Most Republican women eschew work for the life of leisure that their trust funds afford.
I also noticed that Sarah Palin campaigns side-by-side with Maverick McCain, while Obama and Biden campaign separately, covering more territory. The McCain controllers are afraid to let little Sarah out of their sights for fear that the "evil liberal" media will get her and chew her to bits.
Don't believe the hype, people. Learn for yourselves what the truth is, and make an informed decision. Check the candidates' voting records, weed out the fact from the fiction from the fantastic (Obama is NOT a Muslim, Palin tried to ban library books, etc.).
And, by all that is holy, stop giving airtime to the blowhard pundits and talking heads that pass for "commentators." 99% of these bozo dip-shits are in the pockets of a particular party or lobbying group. Tune them out and form your own opinion based on study, hard facts and clear thinking. Maybe with all of us together, we can take the back the "people" portion of our Declaration of Independence that George W. Bush has effectively destroyed.

Vagina Vote
I have come to the conclusion that women are incredibly stupid creatures. In the past week, I have talked to many women, professionals and service industry folks, who say they are voting for Sarah Palin.
I correct them and say they will be voting for John McCain.
The women, in turn, correct me, saying they are voting for Sarah Palin.
I have determined that women are voting for the vagina, hence what I am now calling the Vagina Vote. A vote for Sarah Palin simply because she is a woman is the reason many of these women are voting in the first place. However, they completely disregard John McCain, and often, when I mention his name, they look perplexed, as if the name is new and meaningless to them.
The other day, I had a female client who gushed effusively about Sarah Palin, and how she is amazed that a woman can juggle a career and a family with such ease. I told her it happens every day, and has happened since the beginning of time. The client looked puzzled, as if this was new information. She then told me that the cannot wait to vote for Palin. I corrected her. I told her that her vote is for McCain, that Palin is riding along on the ticket. Again, my client got a dazed look on her face, as if this was new information. As we concluded our business, I asked her again if she was voting for McCain, and she said, again, "No, I'm voting for Sarah Palin."
I left it at that.
Last week, I was speaking with my sister - a hardcore Democrat. She told me that she was voting for Palin. I told her that Palin was on the ticket, but McCain was whom she would be voting for. She corrected me by telling me that she will vote for Obama for president and Palin for veep. I corrected her, telling her that Joe Biden was partnered with Obama and that Sarah Palin was on the Republican ticket with John McCain. She seemed a bit awed by this new information, and finally said that she would be forced to vote for McCain because she wanted to see a woman in the White House. I asked her if she realized that Palin would NOT be president, and she countered with "... McCain is so old, he'll never make it through four years, so we need a woman to take over after he finally dies."
My partner works at an elementary school and lots of his fellow teachers are women, and the majority of them plan on voting for Palin. I asked him if they realize their vote is for McCain, and he said he thinks they only see Palin, since she is making news on an hourly basis. McCain isn't the news anymore - his running mate is. My partner did say that a few women have expressed disdain for Palin, saying she is "scary," "a liar," and "a puppet." One of the women at the school, a delightful African American secretary in the office told me she would never vote for a woman based on the fact that they shared the same genitalia. Bravo.
So, I have determined that any woman who votes for Palin (or McCain) is doing so out of shared vagina. The issues don't matter - Palin's stance on abortion, gays, guns, etc. have no bearing on the vote. It boils down to the simple fact that Sarah Palin has a vagina just like every woman in America. And since Palin has a vagina, she will be getting lots of votes.
How interesting it will be to see these Vagina Voters going to the polling places and not seeing Palin's name on the ballot, but secondary to McCain. The faces of these women will be priceless when they discover Palin is not running for president.
And the Vagina Vote has spoken...

Joe Lieberman - Democrat Turncoat
Why has Joe Lieberman been allowed to continue to caucus with Democrats when clearly he has abandoned his own party and moved to the enemy. He is supporting John McCain and claims himself to be an Independent. Then why, on God's Earth, is he not campaigning for Ralph Nader - or Oprah? Joe Lieberman is a sycophantic moron who will follow whomever dangles the bigger prize in front of his old Jewish eyes. This old fart is nothing but a turncoat and a traitor and he should be banned from ANY AND ALL Democratic functions. He claims to be Independent. What a load of shit, since he got up on the stage at the GOP rally in Minneapolis and said that Obama is not qualified to run this country - that McCain is by virtue of his Vietman experience. Another load of shit from a trollish looking old Jew whose time on Capitol Hill is marked only by the number of boots he's willing to lick. I'll bet he'd campaign for Adolph Hitler if it meant getting any exposure out of it.
Get rid of this monstrous tick on the belly of society. He's a fucked up old Jew who should have been ridden out of town the moment he traded his Democrat badge for a Republican badge.

Family Values - Palin Style!
Yesterday, the media was abuzz with the news that Sarah Palin, Republican vice-presidential nominee, had announced that her 17 year old daughter is five months pregnant, in an effort to quash rumors that Palin's newborn is indeed the teenager's child.
WOW!
Ironically, the family has done the usual sidestepping and announced that the girl, Bristol, will in fact give birth to the child - as Mommy is highly opposed to abortion - and will marry the father - whoever that is. I wonder if the father even knows if the fetus is his, because if Bristol was fucking around at the age of 16 or 17, it's a crapshoot to identify who was her particular paramour that particular day, which would be around the middle to end of April, right around tax time. Maybe she was fucking the family accountant.
Palin also has requested the family be left alone during this time of hardship, as they face a personal matter. Funny how it is a personal matter when its her kid, but all the preaching about abstinence Palin has done and the legislature she tried to pass while in Alaska to get sex-ed in public schools to teach ONLY abstinence, she seemed to be trying to tell the rest of the world how she wants them to live. Now the shoe is on the other foot and she wants no media attention.
That also explains why Bristol was carrying the Down syndrome baby - to cover up her own baby bump.
So it boils down to this:
Sarah Palin want the American public to do as she says, but to ignore what she does in her private life, because that's different.
Palin obviously never spoke to Bristol about sex, having sex, abstaining from sex, using a condom, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy or all the other things that parents should teach their nubile young daughters about the world they are growing up to face. Sounds like Palin is one of those parents who will argue that the school system failed Bristol and that it is the responsibility of the public schools to teach children about such things, yet, as soon as the school mentions the words "condom," or "homosexuality," Palin becomes the indignant parent, shouting from the rooftops that the education system has no right to teach her child about the facts of life. As Homer Simpson said to Principal Skinner about Bart after he'd done something naughty: "Skinner, he's your problem from 7AM to 3PM." Later in the same episode, when Bart issues a stream of swears, Homer admonishes him to refrain from using "that kind of talk in the house and save it for the schoolyard." Palin has become Homer Simpson, unable to get her own children to do as he commands the rest of us do...
And what of Bristol? She's a homely girl at best, so who was fucking her and for how long? Since she's only 17, I wonder how many other children she has, or, more importantly, how many abortions has she had prior to getting caught with this one? I have two stepsisters who both had their first abortions when they were sixteen. Seems the thing to do...
And then there is the investigation into Palin's abuse of power and authority. She fired someone who refused in turn to fire her former brother-in-law after he had divorced - quite messily - Palin's sister. Retribution for not doing as Sarah Says. And now it has come down to a investigation and Palin hired an attorney to fight on her behalf. Well, what if it is true, that she used her position and privilege to get another person sacked from their job because that person didn't do what she said to do? Is she going to get mad and stomp her feet and hold her breath like a five year old because she didn't get her way? From what I have read about Palin, she has led a very privileged life - wealth, fame and lots of fortune from Daddy's gold mine (though I notice some reports say her parents are a schoolteacher and administrative assistant). She comes across as a spoiled society bitch.
Sadly, this will not go away.
And for all the harumphing the Republicans do over every fart from a Democrat, it amazed me how many high-profile GOPers were 100% supportive of Palin, saying that it is a family thing, that she's being targeted by Democrats for the firings (not true, since it is her own state legislature that is investigating her improprieties instead of a Federal council), and that we should all give her love and support for being such a wonderful mother and governor. Yet, Sarah Palin couldn't even keep her own daughter from getting knocked up. She says it's because teenagers never listen. Did you try talking to her, Sarah? Did you? Or were you too busy being getting your way in state goverment that you totally ignored your own family?
