Sarah Palin… NOT qualified. (really?!?)

Palin was in New York City Thursday.

(CNN) – Prominent conservative columnist Kathleen Parker, an early supporter of Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, said Friday recent interviews have shown the Alaska governor is “out of her league” and should leave the GOP presidential ticket for the good of the party.

OK.  For me this has been a no-brainer from the start.  Me Palin is and was obviously a “tolken” choice.  That is to say, she was slected at the last minute not because she is in any way qualified (she is clearly not), but because she is a woman and Barack Obama didn’t choose a woman.  With Hillary looking like she was a shoe-in for the spot, the competition seemingly had to follow suite.  And now the GOP is starting to see the light.  The light that is quickly fading.  That fading light shows that Sarah Palin was the WRONG choice for the GOP V.P.

Ms Palin can’t give a straight answer on most anything, she gives answers that she clearly didn’t discuss with her party and she represents things that the GOP do not (like her family values).  I know, the people have spoken and they don’t liuke the fact that her family life has been brought to the surface.  Well, what do you expect when the person wanting to co-lead a nationm can’t even stand by her ideals.  And then when called out on it, she simply declares that her family position is not relevant for the general public.

When Charlie Gibson asked Sarah Palin if questions about her ability to balance work and family were sexist, her response electrified female voters in both parties.

“I’m part of a generation where that question is kind of irrelevant,” she said.

By dismissing the topic, Palin demonstrated the conservative values she brings to the McCain ticket, which have galvanized the Republican right. But many were infuriated by her remark, which appeared to slight family-friendly policies at a time when they could be getting significant attention.

Though Palin has yet to specify her positions on issues related to working families, it is expected she will follow the conservative Republican Party line…

And if anyone has done their homework, you will note that the goings on in the Palin household do NOT coincide with Mrs. Palin’s claims for the country.  I won’t go into the specifics.. you can look that up yourselves, however, know that the discrepencies are there and they are BIG!.

The McCain camp has to be sick to their stomach’s right about now.   The GOP.. and bunch of “good ol boys (and a girl…. with listick… a self-described “lipstick bitch”  [pitbull w/lipstick.. too damn funny])!

The Photo-Op Flop!

Posted in Economy, Politics tagged , , at 3:46 pm by wordblue

Wow. When you are pandering to become the next president of the U.S. of A. I guess “anything goes”.  Mr McCain has lost some more of that all important gray matter this week and appears to have taken on a “fuck it” mentality.

Hey guys, since the timing of this financial fiasco is going to plague my attempts to dupe the american people into voting for me, lets dupe the American people into voting for me!  You see, we’re going to  “stop” my campaign for a while.. no, no.. it’s just gonna be a few days at most.  Then Cindy and I are going to take a quick vacation.  It’s just a simple coincidence that we’ll be vacationing in DC.  And since I’ll be there anyway, I’m not coming back until our government agrees to my demands!  Then I’ll return to the campaign that I “postponed”, the people will worship me and I will be their omnipotent leader!!!  …oh shit.. gotta go debate!

A week-long photo-op at the time, of a national tragedy (following several others of sorts).  Political theater on an inappropriate stage. And it’s going to flop.

Politician…the new four-letter word.

Meanwhile, another bank fails and the change in my pocket will afford me less and less.  I say to all who will listen.  Take your money and get a safe… or some solid cardboard shoe box… and put your money there.  If it is going ot keep any value at all, it certainly will have more in your hand rather than in “the bank”.  If people in this country were smart, they’d start taking on a survivalist mentality.  At least to some degree.  If the collective whole of this country acted like we gave a damn, something close to a miracle could happen.  But instead, we are going to (you are going to.. I’m a “survivalists for dummies student” as we speak) drive the excessive amounts to get nowhere fast and then display intolerance at the price and the fat cats pockets unending swell.   Who is more to blame?  People like the incompetant Mr McCain, or us?

McCain…Says the worst educational problems often in schools in black communities

CINCINNATI – John McCain is telling the NAACP he will expand education opportunities for children in failing schools…

“If I am elected president, school choice for all who want it, an expansion of opportunity scholarships and alternative certification for teachers will all be part of a serious agenda of education reform,” McCain said in the excerpts.

“After decades of hearing the same big promises from the public education establishment, and seeing the same poor results, it is surely time to shake off old ways and to demand new reforms,” he said. “That isn’t just my opinion. It is the conviction of parents in poor neighborhoods across this nation who want better lives for their children.”

Really?  Maybe we should take a look back at a previous post.  Remember all the quotes coming from McCain’s mouth with no retractions, all the white supremacist that he supports.  It wouldn’t surprise me if, since the NAACP includes the outdated term “Colored”, Mr McCain starts referring to African Americans as “colored people”.  And to be clear, through most of his speech to the NAACP, he refers more to “poor children” and “poor communities”…  John, You’re talking to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored [Black] People)!  Does is hurt your mouth, or your brain to say “black”?  Because the organization your are (were) speaking to represents BLACK people, poor or otherwise.  Bush has already failed the minority community with his so-called “No Child Left Behind” program.  It appears obvious that your plan is the same.

Then there’s the “Merritt Pay” program.  What?  Are you sick?  So, if the student isn’t being driven at home to learn correctly, you are going to dock the teacher.  I suppose you are all for an increase in Baseball players’ salaries, too.  How about a broad reform of how (as well as how MUCH) teachers are paid.  Never that, though. You are more for increasing your own pay and the income of the already too wastefully rich, than for making sure the people who teach our children are properly compensated.  Good job, jackass.  We WILL hold you to your words, should we be unfortunate enough to be stuck with you (george w bush, III) as our next president.  But really many of us are just hoping (imagine that) that Obama comes out ahead.

And for those out there who may contend that I am one-sided, please no that I am on the prowl for mixed messages from Obama.  I am holding on to faith that he will continue to keep it real, but be asured that I am researching and WIL call him out on blatant flip-flopping, and anything spoken that seems to benefit the rich.

The Racist, John McCain?

Posted in Hold Them To Their Words, Politics tagged , at 11:06 am by wordblue

Is John McCain a blatant racist?  You do some research, ask some hard questions, and then you come up with your own answer.  As for me, my opinion is that John McCain is an absolute closet racist.  I tell ya what.  Do a simple Google search to the tune of  “.. racist remarks from John McCain…”  I have gotten over 100,000 hits.  Now, read the statements and the rebuttals.  Please take a CLOSE look at the individuals and ideals that John McCain supports and embraces.  Really?  That idiot control freak wants to be our next leader?  Whatever you do, do NOT let that happen. And please. don’t stop with just McCain; check the thinking of ALL of the presidential candidates.  Check what they say.  Check who they employ.  Hold them to their words!  “Work From Home” on Google groups has an interesting take. In this day and age, the LAST thing this country and world needs is a closet racist president

More on the Attempted Start of Bush’s 3rd Term

Posted in Politics tagged , , , at 8:55 am by wordblue

Many non-republicans in this country have had a sneaky suspicion that McCain’s bid for the presidency really equates to bush’s “third term”.  McCain, being the politician that he is, feverishly denies that point at every turn.  Really?  Funny, because this is what is going on right now…

WASHINGTON – Senator John McCain ’s presidential campaign has gone through its second shake-up in a year. Responding to Republican concerns that his candidacy was faltering, Mr. McCain put a veteran of President Bush’s 2004 campaign in charge of day-to-day operations, and stepped away from a plan to have the campaign run by 11 regional managers, Mr. McCain’s aides said Wednesday.

Great.  Look John, we’ve had enough.  Enough of bullying this country to serve the ideals of one man.  Enough being lied to and manipulated.  Enough being dragged, kicking and screaming, through the muck you call leadership.  Out with the “old”, and in with the new, fresh, and more thoroughly inclusive.  The thinking of old, white, rich men as leadership for a country is over.  This country is full of bright, young, intelligent, interactive people who will not just sit on the sideline while a handful of greedy control freaks ruin this land.  This time around, it’s going to be more than a simple changing of the guard.  This time around, we will shift our perception and take this country back.  Hey john, maybe you can snatch up the competition and threaten them into giving you the seat.  Seems like that’s what the republican party is all about.  If you’re not legally voted in, just forcefully take it.  Come on, you’re good buddy george b did it, why can’t you?  (And in case anyone missed it, I will NEVER put goerge bush’s name in caps.  He doen’t represent me, nor anyone I know.  He is not a fair representation of this nation… only of his own warped, twisted, greedy thinking.)
