You have to wonder how Umeruhca got to be the greatest nation in the world with this kind of thinking. McCain, infirm at 72, could easily croak during his presidency, leaving in charge a woman no one has ever heard of. Worse, he’s tacked Sarah Palin on to his ticket in the mistaken belief that the women who backed Hillary will suddenly switch sides because she’s the same gender they are. This move shows what McCain thinks of women. That they are brainless Stepford Wives who live for baking and mopping and looking after the dumb shits who vote Republican. Palin is certainly no Stepford Wife … a Stepford Husband is more like it. She represents just about everything Hillary’s supporters detest.
The answer to the question asked by this post is … Yep, it sure looks like it.
Question is, do we want the repuglycans to win the election so they can truly own the impending disasters, or do the democrats get one term so they can be blamed for the outcomes? Roadtosurfdom blog believes that global warming is not going to be fixed. Maybe leave it the GOP. (I once stroked your ego by comparing you to Chaucer on your old blog when i was a lit student. I’m now teaching at a country high school.) Good to see (or find) you back. Your particular type of outrage is not available anywhere on the net I can find.
“Repuglycans” is brilliant, though hard as hell to pronounce. Glad to hear from you after all this time out (on my part). I’m still hoping to drop politics on this blog. It’s title suggests why. However…. I don’t think Umeruhca can be resuscitated even if Obama wins. And yes, you did indeed stroke my ego with the Chaucer comparison. I immediately went to my video archives and found a copy recorded from the late, great SBS of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Canterbury Tales with the weird old maestro in the Geoffrey’s role. In this incarnation I am but a pissed off libertine without portfolio. Hope things are fruitful in the country high school. People like you deserve banker’s wages while bankers deserve high school teacher wages.
