Depalination

While the traditional media and many writers in Blogilla (noun: online blogger community at large, also known as Blogistan, Blogosphere, Blogtopia, etc; the online version of the definitive American community, Wasilla, Alaska) undertake the process to deconstruct the enormous bullshit that is Sarah Palin, mecontemplates whether another approach might be worthy of consideration. 

What is the worst case scenario that could happen with Sarah Palin as Vice President? I’m not outrageous enough to suggest that John McCain, if elected, will set a record for the shortest presidency ever. But what if he ties the record and croaks one month after taking office, as William Henry Harrison did?

In that case, Sarah Palin will become President of the United States by February.  If McCain lasts as long as the second shortest presidency, Palin will be the leader of the free world by June.  If the old sack of embalming fluid succumbs as soon after taking office as Zachary Taylor did, Palin will have her finger on the button by summer of 2010.

Cheesus-fucking-velveeta on a whole grain baguette, who fucked America with this impetuous and risky maneuver by putting a self-proclaimed hockey mom on the presidential ticket?

Not Sarah Palin. She’s just a power-drunk fundie being herself in America’s heartland, Wasilla, Alaska. No, this deed is solely owned by John McCain, the man who’s never been the leader of anything in his freaking life.

An idea is that instead of chasing down Sarah Palin to ask her what she would do as President, and instead of trying to get in her dirty panties to debunk all the lies she told at the convention (her peeps don’t even care about the lies anyway), everyone should ask John McCain what Sarah Palin will do as President.

Ask McCain precisely how Palin will handle Ahmadinejad. Ask McCain what specific steps Palin will take if the U.S. experiences spiraling inflation with record job losses—a very real possibility. Ask McCain exactly what Palin will do if Putin has no soul after all.  Ask McCain what Sarah Palin will do about Roe v. Wade.

Ask John McCain all the questions.

It was he who fucked America, not Sarah Palin.

Ask him for an interview and hold him accountable for all the unknowns about his running mate.

And just ignore her.

That is all.

Bravo! Spot. Fucking. On!

Aside from the debate with Biden, who gives a shit. It’s obvious she and her supporters don’t. But Democrats should clobber McCain for it. Make him defend her record. Often and repeatedly. Force the Maverick Sage to get in front of his “serious” friends to do a song and dance about her competency and political history. I’m sure he knows as much about her as she does the duties of the Vice President.

Sing it!

RIGHT ON!!!!!
The only folks she’s won over are the slow witted idiots who would have voted that ticket anyway. Slamming McCain for yet another totally bozonian decision, grilling him to defend his transparent manipulation is the way to go.

I think a focus on what this says about McCain’s decision making and responsibility is the right one.

I imagine Palin currently would give them Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Dakotas due to the Marge Gunderson effect: “finally a candidate who sounds like normal Americans”.

However they tend to be pretty responsible people and the rashness of McCain’s act may cause the Marge effect to fade.

Accent is quite powerful.

Here in the west I think Obama’s Kansas rhythms were a big part of his advantage over Hillary. Hillary’s east coast accent come burdened with many negative associations- pushy obnoxious, rude etc.

Can’t we do both?

Oh god. I thought the PUMAs were insane, but it gets worse.

So here is my three point plan:

1. Vote Constitution Party. (I vote my conscience and cannot support McCain even with Palin.)

2. Hope and pray for McCain/Palin to win. (I am an idealist, but also a realist!)

3. Pray for John McCain’s salvation and pray specific imprecatory prayers if he fails to pro-actively defend the sanctity of human life.

So they’re going to pray that McCain wins, and then pray that McCain dies. Because they’re realists, and they’re certain that God likes to smite the people of their choosing.

But I do hope they all vote Constitution Party.
