The conventions are done. The Republicans Grand Poobah just got off stage. I couldn’t even bring myself to watch. I chose Giants post game stuff over another ideological speech with no connection to reality. I watched Palin and Guliani the night before and was just aghast at how stupid and ugly Republicans are. Seriously, have you ever heard a Republican Party member say anything witty? THey always go on about how Hollywood is full of liberals but I don’t think that it’s Hollywood itself that pushes people away from the Republican party or draws liberal mindsets. Actors and actresses are necessarily, and almost exclusively attractive people and good looking people are repelled by the Republicans.
Simultaneously, ugly people are drawn to them. Something about the ugliness outside breeding an ugliness within possibly? Have you ever seen an uglier and more un-self aware group of people as these pigs chanted for more oil drilling? Pure greed and destructive impulses for their own sake because it’s not liberal. That’s what it amounted to. LAughing at Obama for doing community service? Really? Because helping people is liberal? Is that the point? Trying to make the lives of people who make less than 6 digits a year is foolish and somehow linked to every other exaggerated liberal trait like loving terrorists and pedophiles?
And I really couldn’t find a good looking one in the bunch exept a couple of token young hotties brought in for the occasion.
And that Sarah Palin. Man I wouldn’t toss her out of bed for opposing abortion.
She’s just going to have to raise the kid herself that’s all. Or I guess if it’s cute I’ll take it. I’m just not raising any future Republicans.
THe one good thing about last night was that I was watching it at work and damned if those good ole boys and overly made up women in Minnesota didn’t give me a ton of set ups for one liners and rebuttals that impressed my coworker. You see I try to keep my politics and religion outside the work place since I became management. BUt I’ve been in fuck it all I just don’t really care mode lately and I let it fly. Even led to some religious debating with 2 coworkers once one joined us when he came in for the overnight. It felt good to release some of that pent up stuff since I don’t get many chances anymore and was starting to feel stupid and worry that I must seem stupid to people at work. A management drone with no personality outside of the job. I may still be becoming that but there’s a shred of fun in the old boy yet.
Anyway, I don’t have the energy to go over the details of what Guliani and Palin said. But for anyone who say any of it, are you not struck by the clear difference between Republican convention speeches as compared to those at the Democratic convention? Just on an intellectual level it’s like the difference between a 6th grade speech and one you might make in college. The simplicity, never mind the lack of facts, was just mind boggling to me. Now you might say, well you’re a Democrat and you see what you want just like McCain supporters.
Well I’m not a Democrat. I don’t affiliate or burn an ideology into my brain and let it dictate everything I think subsequently. I like taking the facts at hand and making a decision based upon that hard evidence. Statistics, sociology, science, history, results, these are the platforms of my political party and it is a party of one. Hell I’m not even pretty so I can’t be a true Democrat. I may even be ugly enough to pass for a Republican. And even I can see how stupid and backwards these people are.
They’re a scary bunch. Watching that crowd and their reactions last night felt like traversing some dante-esque circle where ugly white people are eternally damned to wander around clueless and have no capacity to change their minds, do anything differently, or think other than the way they thought coming out of high school.
And all the flag waving and U.S.A. chanting as if closed mindedness and patriotism are mutually inclusive and something to be proud of, combined with the absolute devotion to proven policy failures and almost willful arrogance of that devotion as a big “fuck you,” to liberals who they seem to hate with the passion of true Christians, made me wonder where all the white sheets in the crowd were or when they’d start referring to a final solution for the liberal problem.
But seriously, I’d tap Palin. I’d just want her to keep her mouth shut.
Sounds harsh but conservative women like that. THey want a dominant male who doesn’t respect them. And damn it Sarah, I don’t respect you! So let’s make this happen baby!
Listening to her last night really upped the ante on this election though. YOu see I’m not quite buying all this bullshit rhetoric from team Obama about how McCain would be more of the same. How he was lockstep with the Bush administration. THis election doesn’t have the power and importance of 2000 or 04. I knew back in both those elections we were dealing with vicious, nasty ideologues with no character. McCain isn’t as bad despite the recent voting record or pandering of the past few years. And though I’ve been an ardent Obama supporter I wasn’t going to be crushed by a McCain victory as I was 4 and 8 years ago by Bush’s one election victory (which may even be debatable).
But this woman is so out of her league, so simple, and has such a large and mostly retarded family, that the thought of her being President is now getting pretty scary. And let’s face it: McCain could go within a term, certainly within 8 years when he’d be in his mid 80′s. And then we’d be left with a woman who thinks being a soccer mom is cool and a badge of something besides mediocrity.
And resource waste.
And though only one of her kids is technically retarded, or “special needs,” as appears to be the fashionable moniker amongst a group of people who don’t mind saying 9-11 was a punishment for all the faggots, another could be seen last night treating said baby like a doll while wiping her spit all over him and another apparently has no idea how to use a frakking condom.
But this could work for them. There’s a lot of stupid white trash that’s going to find her identifiable. “Lookie here, they’s just like us pa. She understands what it’s like to be uneducated and unable to keep male genitals outside of her vagina. They’s slippery pa!”
Ok I’m over generalizing. But I really do feel like a lot of people are going to relate and vote her way now. Whether HIllary supporters will be amongst them I’m not sure. Obviously, and it is as obvious as any V.P. choice ever, Palin is a token chosen to lure the Hillary base away from Obama. THat base has some weird bug up their ass and is resentful of the guy who beat their girl even though he ran the far more civil campaign and she resorted to Rovian type tactics. But they think they’re being disrespected. I guess the rules not being changed for these women constitutes disrespect. Kind of sound like many modern athletes. Wonder if they refer to themselves in the third person too? But they certainly have carried on like prima donnas lately.
But will they be stupid enough to be lured over by the simple power of another vagina?
I’m not sure on this one. MAny pundits think not and give them credit for seeing through the transparency of the move and that Palin isn’t exactly on the same page with them. That may well be. I want to believe they’re smarter than most men and the common electorate of the past eight years. Hopefully they will. But they’re still human and they’re still voters, and these are two charactersistics that seem to come with a lot of gullibility, selfishness, and stupidity. But it’s to their credit that I have some hope in them that I don’t feel for white trash or religious voters.
I’ve called the last two elections right, well actually more than that though the Clinton 2 and H.W. Bush’s were no-brainers, well before election day and I can’t do that here. That’s hopeful I guess. But if I had to pick it now I’d say McCain wins. Though Republicans are book stupid, Democrats are life stupid and don’t know how to win an election. And don’t underestimate the white trash trailer vote no one is talking about yet. As well as the general stupidity of Americans. And their racism. I argued with people a year or two ago that Obama would beat Hillary and a black man would get the Pres nod before a white female. But a white female as V.P. with an old white man could be just the ticket to beat this “uppity,” black family as one Republican recently put it. On the surface Palin appears an embarrasing choice and the McCain campaign a mess grasping at straws. But fuck me, both Bush campaigns kind of looked like that too. To me anyway.
Difference is the media is actually calling it to. Which is why the publicans have started the whole “the media hates us,” talking point which we’ve heard mentioned in quite a few speeches this week. Media is made up of liberal elites and liberal elites want to get rid of good, god fearing folk so they can fornicate with farm animals and find new places a man can put his penis in and on another man. And surrender to terrorists of course. That’s the brainwashing mechanism used on pub voters. THe fact that the media was a lapdog for Bush for 4 years and just followed the general public move away from him, is of course lost amongst the rest of the bullshit they wallow in like pigs.
See I’m off on tangents I didn’t want to go on. So much more to write on this but I wanted to jot out a quickie and get back to watching my tv and here I’ve wasted the better part of an hour venting to no one I know or maybe no one at all. I’d like to go on but I imagine the internet gods have already passed their judgment on the validity and interest of anything I have to write and I really want to watch last Sunday’s Mad Men and maybe some Arrested Development. Both titles that could have easily been used to label the Republican Convention.
