Sometimes people just BOGGLE me to the bone. Sometimes, I just don’t get people.
I don’t get why people would vote for McCain/Palin. Their political campaign/strategy has consisted mostly of racism, religious intolerance and xenophobia. How could someone vote for people like that? It shits me how Palin attacks Obama by saying he’s connected with terrorists. That is a really low tactic, just in order to appeal to racists just to get a few more votes in. Oh, and never mind the fucking hypocrisy either.
I also once saw this clip where this woman asked McCain something about Obama and him being an Arab, and then McCain goes, “He’s a decent family man.” I mean seriously, is that the best answer you have? I don’t think he understood what the woman actually meant – that she was treating the words “dangerous” and “Arab” as synonyms. Unless McCain thinks the exact same thing as well. Fuck.
And then there were McCain/Palin supporters yelling “terrorist” at the mention of Obama’s name.
I don’t care if John McCain/Palin had a plan that would 100% pull us out of this economic turmoil that America has so gladly created for us, if your political campaign incites harm and discrimination towards someone just because of who they are, then you shouldn’t even be up there in the first place.
Oh, and just a little more sexism for everyone out there:
I mean, seriously, for fuck’s sake. From the website:
Created by adult product purveyors Topco, the Sarah Palin blowup doll is known as the “This is NOT Sarah Palin Inflatable Love Doll.” Featuring a busty, conservatively dressed Palin lookalike, the box cover promises: “Cross party lines with your own inflatable running mate!” The political love doll’s suggested uses include: “Blow her up and show her how you’re going to vote,” “Let her pound your gavel over and over,” and “It’s time some male interns caused a scandal in the Capitol.”
Ooh, can’t wait to throw my money down for this crap! I wonder, if there was a middle-aged male candidate, would they release the same shit? Probably not. Ha, and people tell me that society doesn’t need feminism. Bull. Shit.

I probably would have been tempted to agree with your assessment of sexism on that blow-up doll, except that, well…just check out this post at one of the blogs I frequent:

So at least in this case, the guy is getting some of the same…

I’d rather have a second hand gas stove in power than Sarah Palin. Her abject inability to speak reason, coupled with the cesspool of ignorance and corruption that she covers herself in means you would have to be mad to vote for her.

I’d rather the doll in power than Sarah Palin.

lol, I first read TDWs comment as ‘I’d rather do the doll than Sarah Palin.’
I was going to agree with him, but now I’ll just say she is a bimbo and I wish I was living there so I could vote against her.

At least if I had the doll in bed I wouldn’t be tempted to hit it. Not that I hit… that’s naughty… in a kinky sort of way.

This election campaign seems to represent a new low in US politics.

Her voice is so annoying, she has a grandma voice. If America doesn’t vote Obama in then they are going to officially be the most fucked up country in the world.

They’ve already won that award in my books!

Being an American carries some distinct burdens, not least being a punching bag for people disillusioned by the psychotic administration that runs it (and the emotional audience that vote them in).
