Thanks for letting me know about it, 'cause I've been in and out of here for a couple of days.
Yeah, it's VERY important to make that connection. Not only is it important to repeat that - YES, elections DO matter. Because THEIR RESULTS matter. And all you have to do is add one more line or two - "do you like the RESULTS of these past two elections? Are you happy with the way things turned out? REALLY???"
I think the vast majority of Americans would have to answer those questions with a resounding "NO." Unless you're in the elite one percent of the one percent, the haves and especially the have-mores who've REALLY benefitted bigtime from the last seven-and-some years, you'd feel compelled to say "NO!" What's in it for the rest of us???? Just more of the same if you put another republi-CON into the White House - especially if you're a 72-year-old crank who's already had numerous bouts with cancer and on his best days is really not a well man, and his sidekick, Gidget: an abject novice beauty queen Mother Hubbard who has so many children she likely can't handle an outside phone call at 3am, who didn't really wake up to the very idea of the Iraq war until it finally hit home, and who's had about 20 months of executive experience in a state whose population is the third-smallest in the country. As Jack Cafferty said, she's the governor of a state that has 13 people and some caribou.
And I gotta tell ya, Sam, the longer this sinks in with me about the choice of sarah palin, the angrier I get. This just shows you what a shallow view of women he has. He thinks all the Hillary supporters, or even some of them, will flock to him just because his running mate is female. That's just about the only thing she has in common with Democratic Hillary supporters. She's got NOTHING for them, and will make sure she gives NOTHING to them. But he figures we'll just all be romanced by his cute little "double date" thing.
And what also brings that home to me rather glaringly - his overall shallow and patronizing view of women, is the track record I see here. His first wife was a swimsuit model. When she wound up damaged goods he lost interest and went chasing a younger, richer, blond cutie-pie who I guess he thought looked better on his arm. If I were cindy mccain, I wouldn't be sleeping too comfortably these days, because - as the woman who stole her man from another woman, I suspect she's always had that little tiny itchy voice in the back of her head - he did it to her. Will he do it to me someday, too? And I couldn't help but notice on Friday when he introduced sarah palin how he stood to the side and kept looking down at her ass and fiddling with his wedding ring. And he really, in effect, just met her. Hardly knew her. I get it, john. I get the way you view women. Message delivered. AND received. Your behavior has told me all I need to know about the way you regard women. Callous, dismissive, exploitive, superficial, inherently dishonest and manipulative. Shallow, patronizing schmuck.
Sleep soundly, cindy.
If you can.
