OK, They’re both Uber conservative, they both served as Governor, and their home states profit huge from oil… But I think that’s where the similarities end.
DISCLAIMER: I may say some things about Bush that may make some people think I like having him as President.. Do not be fooled.. I’m presenting facts only.
Bush was presented with a major catastrophe within the first 9 months of his term.
Palin’s catastrophe of a daughter is being forced to carry a full term of 9 months.
-
Bush chose Cheney because he was a man with bounds of experience in foreign policy and had served in both White House staff positions and in the US Congress.
Palin was chosen to pander to women and tip the scales back to a dead heat. Sorry, but it’s true.
-
Bush fumbled the ball after 9/11 but succeeded in rallying the country to return hope to the American people.
24 September 2001, Palin and the Wasilla city council voted in favor of Bed and Breakfasts being run in private homes.
-
Bush pulled off a truly unbelievable feat be being re-elected for a second term.
Palin won 2nd runner up in the Miss Alaska Pageant..
-
Bush makes up words and works them into his speeched masterfully.
Palin makes up excuses for Fed funding and works them into the Federal budget..
Even though Bush’s regime was no walk in the park, If we elect McCain and his enormous fuck-up we’ll end up with an economy that crippled by an administration that doesn’t know whether it wants build a bridge to Iraq or send more troops into Gravina Island.
OK… There’s many things wrong with her that i don’t even know where to begin.
Up until she spent a week in hiding from the press after the RNC she didn’t even know what the Vice President of the US does? Has she got a brain in her head… Why would you even say that if you were on the Short List of Veep picks?! Why in the world would anyone want her to be the VP and why didn’t the McCain camp dig up all this stuff BEFORE he picked her. I received a list of the websites and news media coverage that McCain’s people used in the vetting process… Yes.. They used Wikipedia and a copy of the October 22nd, 1997, issue of the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman that was used to package McCain’s Viagra pills he bought off eBay. Our sources say that he bought the pills in 1997 when he was 60 and only uses them to keep his heart pumping…
I digress… Did you notice how she was spinning the questions back to her and Alaska? I’ve read and listened to the news media in Alaska… They have a very “Yay, Alaska and fuck everyone else!” mentality. Pardon my French, but i felt it appropriate.
Next, the Charlie Gibson interview.
Canada..? Mexico..? What drunk college student with a spare tank of gas, a few friends, a nickel bag and the undying urge to see a Donkey Show or get some Poutine hasn’t been to Mexico or Canada?! Fuck Mexico and Canada… Ol-èh?!
But seriously… Canada and Mexico are awesome… I’d rather live in either place than this seriously demented country… Back to the interview. Gibson asked shitty questions and Palin gave shitty answers.
Q (I’m going to paraphrase): Do you think you’re ready to be vice president? A: I will be when Inauguration day comes around.
She sounds pretty sure of herself doesn’t she? Scorecard: Deadly Sins = 1(Pride)
Q: Did you ever want to say ‘no’ to McCain? A: I told him (paraphrasing), are you sure?… OK, then. Here goes nothing.
She didn’t second guess herself.. she second-guessed McSame, much like the McCain is doing now.
Q: Do you think your credentials prepare you for this? A: And I quote, “Blah blah, reform, blah blah, energy, blah, governor, blah, oil & gas.” Follow up: “National security is a whole lot more than energy.” Response: No, it isn’t… It’s all about my gas.
Notice how, once again, she spins the question back to her state and its fine exploitable natural resources.
Q: Have you ever met a foreign head of state? A: No, but niether did that one Vice President that I don’t have time to name…
Passing the buck onto a bunch of people she’s never even met? Despicable.
Q: What do you think about Russia and Georgia? A: Alaska has an eye on Russia, don’t worry about it… and Georgia is a great.. I love Atlanta!
But, really.. she recited some stupid speech that he people gave to her to memorize and it was spin, spin, spin.
I nodded off after she said “You know you can see Russia from Alaska”… as if looking at the desert of Siberia will keep Putin in check… That’s like staring at a killer’s butt as he strangles his victim… “What can I say he had an ass..”
Shawn recently moved and will return in the next week or so for now you’ve got me..
