shock and awe! why would anyone vote for McCain Palin?

i am utterly in a state of shock and awe when i hear some people's reasoning, or lack thereof, for voting for the McCain Palin ticket; the most recent being last night.

at my gig last night some dumb cow asked me, "have you made your political choice?"- i was a bit taken aback, and almost said, "that's none of your business" but instead said, "yes I've already voted... and you?... have you made your political choice?" and she said, "yes, i'm voting for sarah palin." to which i replied, "but SHE isn't running for president... john mccain is!" [i almost said, "yes, you would vote for her because she's just as dumb as you are" - but instead walked away.] this woman is a so-called "professional"- but how she got through med school is beyond me- but then she probably IS like sarah palin: a parrot: read repeat, read repeat, read repeat... ad nauseum. she reminded me of someone on a jay leno "jaywalking" segment- or miss teen south carolina 2007... but then so does Ms. P- so, yes, she would vote for sarah: water seeks it's own level!

the republicans are playing by karl rove's playbook- using dirty tricks, character assassination, fear mongering and smear campaigns- JUST to win the election. they're not above cheating, or hitting below the belt- and you can bet on election day, just as there already has been- voter fraud and disenfranchisement will abound! they've already been putting out 'official looking' fliers in virginia telling democrats to vote the day AFTER the election- on Nov. 5th, as well as spreading other lies. the last 2 elections were stolen or rigged- can we expect anything different this time? i think we should go back to paper ballots- or anything that leaves a paper trail- especially when you know that the makers of the voting machines were- and probably still are- are huge republican contributors. big business is not going to go quietly...

mccain is pissing and moaning about obama's fund raising- and reneging on not taking public funding- but you can bet if the shoe was on the other foot- he'd be singing a different song. now they're scurrying to raise millions to do attack ads against obama in battleground states. the ONLY thing republicans really care about is holding onto their money and their power; and they will do anything and everything- and will fight dirty, even filthy- to win. they're rabble rousers who play to the lowest common denominator. they cloak themselves in a shroud of morality when they are anything but moral. these are your "compassionate conservatives" -"moral majority" [read the indictments from 2005! there are even more NOW!] the holier than thou---

they are now blaming the democratic* congress for all our current woes, when they* have not held that power for very long- and have had to fight the right at every turn. THEY [REPUBLICANS] had it ALL for all those years and brought us to this mess we're in. the democrats have to clean up the shit they left! but typical of the neo-cons, anyone who doesn't go along with the right's [and W's] agenda are traitors, and worse... just listen to their mouth-pieces: o'reilly, hannity, limbaugh, dobson, coulter... liars all- to see/hear the TRUE nature of the GOP. wanda sykes called them the evil empire- and she ain't wrong! even hillary referred to cheney as darth vader. she should know.

they call obama a socialist, when this administration, this government, has just bailed out wall street [and is talking about detroit] which has already makes us a socialist country- and bush's tax cuts which mccain/aplin want to continue was and is nothing but welfare for the rich! "my friends- heh heh"

i'm reminded of a line in Forest Gump- "stupid is as stupid does" and i really feel that if americans vote for these 2 war-mongering, fear baiting, power drunk idiots, they get what they deserve- which will be 4 more years exactly like the 8 we've just had... if not worse [and i predict worse].
the fact that they are both as dumb as dirt [and mccain admits to being older than dirt- which means a palin presidency COULD happen IF, GOD forbid, they are elected] is frightening... horrifying! but then SHE has already made the freudian slip: "a palin/mccain ticket"- so we know HER intentions. "you betcha..." wink, wink.

for the life of me. i cannot understand WHY any intelligent, thinking person could vote for them... but then, therein lies the answer... i have heard more than once [from several women who support Palin]- [read the comments both pro and con!] when i have spoken of obama's intelligence " well... we don't need intelligence..." DUH! and again, i have just had to walk away... you cannot argue with stupid people... it's rather like the old adage about teaching a pig to sing...
