Wake up America! Palin/McCain are fucking AWFUL!

OK, enough of the Sarah Palin crap … Obama might have only been talking about McCain's policies when he said "lipstick on a pig," but I'm not. I'm talking about McCain's entire candidacy … and as far as I'm concerned, that's all Palin was: Lipstick for a pig of a presidential candidate. And it's not like anything I'm about to say should be news to anyone. In fact, for every one of the factual points I'm about to list, I'll link to someone else who's already pointed it out.
What baffles me is WHY, dear-fucking-almighty-apparently-nonexistent GOD is none of this flying shit sticking to the wall of public awareness? Seriously, everyone seems to "know" Obama is a socialist/Muslim/America-hater/person-of-questionable-trustworthiness … but nobody seems to know (or care?) that the McCain camp are outright liars whose records show them, over the long term, standing for almost nothing they claim to stand for now?!
And so, without further ado:
10 reasons you shouldn't even CONSIDER voting McCain/Palin
- They are bald-faced LIARS. Here are just a few examples:
- Sarah Palin has never visited Iraq, nor Ireland (except for a refueling stop in Shannon). If you're concerned about foreign policy experience, she's not your girl.
- They're inflating crowd-size estimates to make themselves look more popular. Seriously now, that would be funny in a high-school "I signed my own yearbook with other people's names to make myself feel better," sort of way … except we're talking about the potential NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
- Sarah Palin campaigned for governor with the "Bridge to Nowhere" project as one of her major issues. Palin did not "kill" the Gravina Island Bridge project in any way, shape or form … Congress took care of that for her.
- One McCain campaign ad said Obama supported "comprehensive sex education" for kindergarteners, when he served in the Illinois Senate … when actually the 2003 bill specified "age and developmentally appropriate" sex education programs in Illinois schools, with the intent of teaching young children how to recognize and avoid sexual predators. The kindergarten program would've had a lesson along the lines of the old "good touch, bad touch" routine.
- And here's a list of 76 issues McCain has changed his position on for this campaign. I have no problem with someone changing their mind based on learning new information or hearing a new point of view … but I have a REALLY hard time believing McCain arrived at a legitimate change of heart SEVENTY SIX times, conveniently in time to get in lockstep with the "official" Republican Party Line for this election. What a fucking maverick, eh?
- Their campaign tactics are so sleazy, even Bill motherfucking O'REILLY AND Karl sleazebag ROVE called 'em out! And I'm sorry, but if those two paragons of decorum and good grace say your campaign has gone too far, you really HAVE sunk to heretofore unheard of lows. Is this the level of intelligent discourse we want in the White House for another four years?
- If you're thinking, "but her husband is part Native Alaskan," stop now. Do NOT vote for McCain/Palin if you think they're going to do anything to help Native Americans during their administration. Palin's record on Native Alaskan issues is reprehensible … every time Native issues have come up during her term as governor, the Palin administration has actively worked against Native Alaskan interests. The history of the US Gov't screwing the natives isn't going to stop with this woman.
- If you're thinking a woman in the White House is going to help US women, stop now. While Palin was mayor of Wasilla, her city had the distinction of being the only city in Alaska where rape victims were sent itemized bills for the rape-kits used during their forensic exam. If you couldn't afford the $500–1200 kit? I'm not sure whether your credit rating took a hit, or if you were actually refused medical care … but either way. And as for Palin's assertion that she had no idea this was the local policy:
- If you're mayor of a city, isn't it your JOB to know things like this? I mean, the policy actually changed during Palin's term as mayor, so even if she didn't know all the details when she took office, shouldn't she have known about a policy change that controversial?
- Is it a coincidence that the Chief of Police Palin fired kept a line item in the police budget for rape-kit expenses, but the Chief of Police Palin hired eliminated it from the budget?
- "Ex-POW" does NOT a "foreign policy expert" make. Really. McCain spent a large chunk of the Vietnam War locked up in deplorable conditions. That is a damn shame, and it's an experience no human being should be forced to endure. But explain to me (in a paragraph or less) how sitting in an isolated cell and getting beaten repeatedly for years on end gives you a greater understanding of the nuances of international diplomacy and geopolitical issues. Answer: It doesn't. Shut the fuck up about the POW thing. It's irrelevant.
- "Likeable" does not mean "qualified," by a long shot. Sarah Palin's RNC speech was great. If, by "great," you mean, "consisting entirely of recycled Republican Party Platform standbys, without a hint of original thought." She was funny. If, by "funny," you mean, "fluent in the sort of nasty jabs you'd expect to hear in a cheerleaders' locker room (only even more lacking in substance)." It was delivered with style and grace. If, by "style and grace," you mean, "less expression than a kindergarten teacher reading a book before naptime." And everyone loved it. If, by "everyone," you mean, "the Republican cheerleading squad, and pundits dazzled by the fact that a woman can smile and read at the same time." Where in the fuck was the much-maligned "Liberal Media" on this one? Christ. She SUCKED!
- They are both totally out of touch with reality. McCain needs to "find out what his position was" before he can tell you whether or not condoms prevent HIV transmission … or what his position is on insurance funding of birth control vs. Viagra. (Since he seems to have trouble remembering his own record, here's a nice summary of McCain's record on abortion and birth control.) Think having a woman on the ticket will straighten him out on that issue? Not if you're talking about Sarah Palin, a woman who apparently has no fucking idea how to use birth control herself (or how to explain it to her teen daughter, for that matter)… we're talking about a woman who supports teaching "intelligent design," and who's described the clusterfuck in Iraq as "a task that is from God." (Don't miss the video! You also get to watch Sarah Palin explain how God is going to build the gas pipeline, because it's his will! Then stay tuned for Part Two, and watch Sarah's wacky church pals praying & testifying!)
- McCain is not a "reformer," he's BushCo's pet lemming. Senate records show McCain voted the way Bush wanted 95% of the time during 2007. Overall, McCain's record in supporting Bush's policies over the first 7.5 years of the Bush administration was 90%. What exactly is he supposed to be reforming, again?
- If you're mostly voting for McCain, remember: Palin will probably end up in the Oval Office. Seriously. McCain is very old, and he could drop dead at any moment, and Sarah "Same Speech, Different Lipstick" Palin will be our president when it happens. I'm not one to use the "inexperience" card as an attack, because I tend to equate "experience" in our current political system with corruption, and high-quality legislation like the Patriot Act. Lack of experience is a good thing, in my book. But Palin's foreign policy knowledge is nonexistent, and her foreign policy common sense is even more apparently absent … listen to Palin's response to Charlie Gibson's question about the "Bush Doctrine", then tell me this is a woman you want at the helm of our ship of state in today's world?! Do you really want a President whose idea of political discourse consists spitting out tired party-line clichés peppered with juvenile, misleading insults? I mean, it's like Bush III, with extra bonus features: Mean-spirited jokes! Pregnant teens! Lipstick & Big Hair!
- And if all that isn't enough to give you pause, consider this: If you're really voting for the good of the nation, rather than your own petty self interest, think about the damage Bush has done to the reputation of the US throughout the world. Then consider these numbers, from a BBC World Service poll of 22,000 people around the world:
Countries Obama McCain None/Other Kenya 87% 5% 8% Italy 76% 12% 12% Canada 66% 14% 20% Mexico 54% 16% 30% India 24% 15% 61% Russia 18% 7% 75% Overall 49% 12% 39% I find it hugely amusing that Obama beat both McCain and the apathy vote in all but two countries,
while McCain lost to both Obama and Who Cares (and/or None Of The Above) in every case.Sure, there are some compelling reasons why you shouldn't let foreign nationals sway your vote come November, but in this case it's rather like that situation where everyone tells a girl that her new boyfriend is bad news, and she ignores every single warning she gets, believing steadfastly that she "understands" him better than everyone else… and then he ends up beating the shit out of her and sending her to the hospital, and everyone is too horrified to say, "I told you so." That was the Bush administration. If we elect McCain, we'll be that girl when she gets out of the hospital and starts dating another abusive fuck before Fuck #1 has even been released from County Jail.
So yeah, hopefully this will be my last post with Palin's name in the title. Really, I'd like to get back to discussing the actual presidential candidates … and cracking wise about little gem's like McCain's apparent difficulty bringing in the crowds without AK Barbie by his side … or fuck, how about catching up on the Profanity of the Month feature? That had so much promise, before I got run over by the bullshit picking up speed on the final downhill of the 2008 campaign trai….
Nice list. You've convinced me… not that convincing the Canadian is going to help.

15th September 2008 at 7:01 pm | trackback from Busy Momma » Blog Archive » Oh boy palin/mccainI 100% agree with your post, alpha. McPalin is a train wreck, a horrible train wreck.
I was mildly interested in what Palin had to say, especially at the urgings of some right-winger acquaintances of mine.
Sure, there's been plenty of bullshit tossed around about Palin, like the issue of the alleged book-banning, and the pre-BristolGate "Trig isn't her baby" rumors.
However, even after sifting through all the bullshit, it is glaringly obvious that Palin has made many statements that are either ignorant or a flat out lie.
I loved the fact that ABC did a "fact check" following her (joke of an) interview last Friday. It pointed out one statement that was a real kicker for me. The reporter asked Palin why she switched her views on global warming being man-made, and Palin blithely stated that she NEVER said global-warming wasn't man-made. Cue the statement made last year to an Anchorage newspaper where she said the exact opposite.
I think it makes a huge fucking difference that she's never met a head of state.
I think it makes a huge fucking difference that I could likely spend a few hours on Wikipedia and spout the same information about foreign policy that she did.
My favorite part…the part that really was the kicker for me, was her comments following the question about her stance on abortion. She stated that she felt a "culture of life" was best for this country, and that's what her personal point of view was.
A culture of life? Are you fucking kidding me?! A culture of life that obviously only applies to the unborn. A culture of life that allows thousands of soldiers to die everyday. A culture of life that says it's OK for the enemy to die, as long as we are extinguishing "Muslim Extremists".
A culture of life?
How about a culture of total fucking hypocritical bullshit.
15th September 2008 at 7:07 pm | permalink |@alpha: A question for you that I asked yesterday on my own blog:
15th September 2008 at 7:09 pm | permalink |Do you think Sarah Palin is Alaska putting its best foot forward? Is she representative of the majority of people out there?
Perhaps you could coin a term suitable to this blog… like Republicunts.
15th September 2008 at 10:30 pm | permalink |@Kavan: I knew my internal "list formatting vs. paragraph breaks" debate went wrong somewhere. Fixed. ;-)
@deletedSoul: The whole "pro-life" "culture of life" thing really gets under my skin too … why aren't they all tithing to adoption groups and children's service charities, if they're so fucking worried about the "life of the child"?! Why don't they fund private prep-schools to give teen mothers a career/life option beyond "marrying money" or going on welfare? Why? Because it's a lot easier to "care" about a "life" when it's still safely insulated in someone's uterus, and doesn't actually have needs yet.
@Elie: Y'know, I want to give an unqualified "FUCK NO" to that question … but here's honesty for you:
Is Palin "Alaska's best foot" to be putting forward? FUCK NO! We have universities up here. Even universities that offer Political Science classes!
Is the representative of the majority of people here? Not really. Alaska has a more even proportion of bars and churches than anywhere I've ever lived though … and I have met a few mindlessly dogmatic Fox News fans who couldn't engage in a level of political discourse any higher than hers.
She is, sadly, representative of a significant portion of the people here, in my estimation. But I really don't think she's representative of the majority.
Alaska had the highest percentage of Nader voters statewide in the 2000 election. We have a LOT of libertarian/liberal types up here. A lot of gun-toting Democrats. A lot of moose-hunting Green Party members. A lot of political misfits of every stripe.
The reason the Palin/Bush camp keeps coming out on top is that the Right wing in this country is a lot better at mobilizing the ignorant masses than the Democrats are at getting any of our individualist political eccentrics to see enough common ground to out-vote the Right.

16th September 2008 at 6:24 am | permalink |Good work. TBH don't think I could actually find the time or effort needed to spell out why my country's (UK's) governement is incompetent, but then our premier is fighting tooth and nail to put off the next general election for as long as possible because he knows deep down that they stand a fair chance of losing.
Does the outcome of the US elections matter to us royalist tea-drinking wimps? Absolutely. Personally I'm hoping for an Obama victory, mindful of the fact that NO politician since Abe Lincoln is 100% trustworthy. It's picking the lesser of two evils really.
""Likeable" does not mean "qualified," by a long shot." applies to Obama I think, but you guys are better off chancing it with him than choosing a McSame/Palin presidency, which is guaranteed to suck.
Posts like this make me give a crap about politics again, even foreign politics.

16th September 2008 at 12:31 pm | permalink |@Anon: ROFL … I'm reposting that one right now. :-) It's so nice to see a politician who can actually think on their feet for a change.
@pedro: You're telling me! I'm getting damn sick of all this shit too. heh
@Dave Watson: I haven't heard anything about disarmament … although it seems to me that the US military budget could do with some strategic cutbacks, without threatening our security one bit. Like maybe decommissioning our obsolete weapons programs for starters?
Anyhow, suffice to say, I think electing a ticket who're going to continue the policies of an administration who've done nothing but aggravate our enemies and alienate our friends is a MUCH bigger risk to our security, than electing someone who actually has some interest in diplomacy, and actual international cooperation.
And, strategically speaking, considering we have a larger military budget than the next—is it 10? I think so&mdash10 nations combined, I really doubt any skulls are going to be piled anywhere on US soil, even IF Obama does a little judicial pruning of the single most bloated department in our Federal budget.
@Ray: hehehe … thanks. :-) I don't think the NYTimes usually goes for "entertaining," so that helps my case considerably. ;-)
Re. your links: Looks like they're having some problems with message consistency, eh?
@Martin: Well, whatever Obama's level of qualification, he's more intelligent than both Palin/McCain … put together, even. I think that's a pretty big bonus, when you're talking about a job with that much influence.

16th September 2008 at 4:05 pm | permalink |If Obama makes Chavez, Iran, Castro etc. like the US then he's not doing his job well and we're in big trouble.
"I think electing a ticket who're going to continue the policies of an administration who've done nothing but aggravate our enemies and alienate our friends is a MUCH bigger risk to our security"
I think that's one of the reasons that voters really should consider the rest of the world. Aside from the fact that it'd be the intelligent, decent, human thing to do (for once), the US can't go it alone anymore. As much money is spent on the military, the US is no longer the lone superpower stepping on bugs at will. The economy is heading for the shitter, which will make the country much more vulnerable - and I'm talking economically and politically, not militarily - and before long it's quite likely that the US will be just as dependent on the goodwill of the international community as the rest of us 'mere mortals'. There's already a distinct shift in money markets toward the Euro in favour of the Greenback, and if that trend continues the US will be a largeish country of above average wealth, not an economic powerhouse.
What (most, a few have already worked it out) Americans need to realise is that the schoolyard bully shtick couldn't last forever; they've had their run as the top dog, but it's coming to an end, and they'll have to get used to playing nice.
@Dave: It's worth noting that most of the invading and skull-stacking has been done by the US military over the last decade. I won't even start on the stupidity of the whole 'we need bigger guns to stop them using their big guns on us' argument. That's what had Europe primed as the biggest fucking powderkeg in history at the beginning of the 20th century. Its what had the world living in fear for the second half of the 20th century. It's what has North Korea trying to build ICBM's, and Russia sabre-rattling in Georgia and pointing nukes at 'missile defense' sites in … Poland?
More and bigger guns are good only for killing more people, and encouraging the building of even more, even bigger guns. The words vicious cycle come to mind.
As Einstein said - I know not with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones.
16th September 2008 at 6:27 pm | permalink |@Pedro & Bruno: Yeah, boy oh boy is Chavez a huge threat to us. How does that work again? Oh, right, his government doesn't mindlessly kowtow to everything we say … that makes him a threat, whether he's actually in a position to threaten us or not.
Submit or die, that's the US motto, isn't it?
@grimbles: "…the schoolyard bully shtick couldn't last forever; they've had their run as the top dog, but it's coming to an end, and they'll have to get used to playing nice.
Just like, oh, I don't know … the Romans, the British, Portugese and Spanish, and, lessee here … pretty much every "empire" throughout human history? Yeah, kinda like that.
American exceptionalism is bullshit. We're just the latest in a long line of imperialist fuck who're going to hit the end of our reign just like everyone else. And yes, learning how to play nice is a key part of losing one's empire gracefully. England handled it pretty well. We should be taking notes.
17th September 2008 at 2:07 pm | permalink |@alpha: Chavez is a big threat to the Latin America, so the american president has to worry about what to do with him.
17th September 2008 at 5:23 pm | permalink |Bush main weakness is not that he's wrong when he says that the Iran guy, Chavez, Castro and Sadam are(were) all a bunch of SOBs. Bush's problem ( in foreign policy) is that he's incompetent, stupid and dishonest.
IN the domestic policy , besides being all the things mentioned above he's wrong on other levels too.
Its worth noting that people like Chavez (who has his issues, but I still have more respect for than Bush or McBush or Republican Barbie), Khamenei and Ahmadinejad get a lot of their public support by playing on their compatriots dis-ease or disgust about American arrogance, selfishness and greed. There will always be extremists, but the reason that people like Ahmadinejad get such wide-spread support is that American governments - of both stripes - have been antagonising the rest of the world for decades.
Without bombs going 'astray' and hitting hospitals in Iraq or schools in Afghanistan, without the hundreds of thousands of casualties directly attributable to American interventionism, there would still be idiots willing to blow themselves up. But there would be nowhere near as many.
For Chavez, he's massively helped along by a long history on the part of US agencies of fucking with legitimate democratic governments - in South America particularly - from standover tactics to assassinations and coups. People tend to resent that sort of shit, which means people who know the right buttons to push can be very very powerful. If you take away the reason for that button pushing to work, those 'big nasty powerful' enemies will become pathetic as hell.
17th September 2008 at 6:34 pm | permalink |@Bruno: Ahmedinejad, Chavez, Saddam, and Castro ARE a bunch of SOBs. They're assholes. They're all members of a repugnant, filthy cabal devoted to the exploitation of religion and poverty as a means to motivate "the people." All of them lead oppressive governments and stockpile wealth and power while watching their citizens go without.
While I can't stand Bush, I can stand even less the opinion of someone that appears to be wholly uneducated in America's opposition to our president. I'm offended by the idea that opposition to Bush means that I must accept all of his enemies. I am offended by the simple-minded idea that the world is a simplistic place where an ignorant black-and-white mentality is allowed to be advanced as something akin to critical thought.
And I find it to be the lowest form of human expression to argue from a position that screams, "I am canaille, and so must you be!"

18th September 2008 at 10:57 pm | permalink |Alphabitch, this rant is as good as they come, right up there with Tim Wise's! Regarding Chavez and all these perceived bad guys, the reason they are in power is partly because they look good to their people in comparison to us. In a way, I really admire Castro. Only 90 miles away and he has stood, looking north and raising his middle finger proudly for nearly half a century. His country is no worse off than many Caribbean nations (maybe on the same par as Puerto Rico, now that the tax incentives to the pharmaceutical companies have dried up). It is damn sure better off than Jamaica. As for Chavez, anyone that compares Bush to Satan is OK in my book unless he's murdered a close relative of mine. The Iran Dude (easier than spelling his fucking name!) only wants nuclear *NOT NUCULAR* power. I don't recall there ever being a plan to develop weapon's grade fissiles. It sure makes sense. Use electricity, reduce your fossil fuel intake, and sell your diminishing oil supplies for top dollar to short-sited greedy "democracies" that are hobbled by greedy capitalists. The only guy I'd probably shoot for the fuck of it would Kim Jong Il. He is such a fucking cunt he almost, just almost, makes W look like a mere asshole.

Not to mention a screaming hypocrite for calling another human being an SOB to begin with.
And sure, there are a lot of bastards in politics, y'know the whole "power corrupts" thing. But who agreed on us playing World Police, hmm? Oh, that's right. Nobody. Especially not the people we play it with. We've been spectacularly ham-handed in the international arena since long before Bush got into office, he's just gone and made it 10Xs worse.
And McCain wouldn't be even a tiny bit better, IMNSHO … to say nothing of the horrifying chance that Palin might take his place at some point. *shudder*
@Dr. Atomix: Thanks. :-)
Re: The Axis of "Not Very Good Guys" … to be honest, I wouldn't want to live in any of the countries in question. I'm not all down with Chavez & Castro's "jail dissidents and kick Human Rights Watch workers out of the country when they criticize me for doing so" routine. Too reminiscent of China, in my book. Oh, but wait! China is our buddy, fully worthy of hosting the Olympics and all the happy horseshit that goes along with it! What's Bush's problem with Chavez & Castro again?
Iran? No thanks. Never going to live in a country where the government feels they have a right to tell me what standards of religious morality I should live by. Oh, but wait! BushCo & their aspiring political heirs think they should be able to tell me whether or not I'm allowed to have an abortion, and who I can and cannot marry, because their holy book says so! What's Bush's problem with Iran, again? They want "newkewlur" power? Right, we have SO much room to judge others on that count. Hi, Japan!
Saddam: Yeah, I'll grant that Bush hasn't sunk to openly killing his political opponents yet, or gassing troublesome sub-sets of the US population … but they do have the "unprovoked invasion of sovereign middle-eastern nations" thing in common, eh?
And good ol' Kim. He really is a fuck.

27th September 2008 at 11:39 am | permalink |So I have weekend houseguests who are really fun and nice people. Intelligent, but very busy professionals. We agree on the issues. But they are fucking morons. You know where I'm going with this…
Goddamn fucking right wing Billo-fuckwad-Reilly, FixedNews blathering idiots. Spew the usually BS that has absolutely NOTHING to do with running the country, or good decision-making, or anything else that ACTUALLY MATTERS.
I am so fucking tired of people like this that have their head so far up their own ass that a colonoscopy won't ever been necessary.
I want to scream.

Elections are decided by the drooling votes of masses of assholes who would honestly rather have an ignorant fuckwit running the country because they are too fucking stupid to understand the complexities of either the issues at stake, or an intelligent, informed person's positions on them.
Obama is not "arrogant" you goddamn neanderthal (that is, btw, the branch of hominids that died out) … he's educated. And, in case your toothless mamma didn't tell you this: Education is a good thing when you have a big, important job like being President of the United States.
@Scott M: Hmm. I'd say you were talking about someone like "Wussup", but you used the word "intelligent".
