I'm calling it. I know, "what about the debates?". Fuck that, the debates don't matter. They don't matter. It's over people. It's over, and McCain is going to win. He is. I know you don't want to hear it, you don't want to believe it, but I think you know that it's true. The Americal electorate is stupid and the American electorate is racist and every bible banging yenta soccer mom from Devner to Pittsburgh and all the way down to the Gulf coast is going to equate every attack by Democrats on Palin as a personal affront. Karl Rove has been fucking the DLCC in the ass for, what, three presidential election cycles now? Every four years he shows them exactly how to win an election in the US, and they still just don't get it. The Democratic party is an object lesson is what not to do in an election. It's a dead heat. It's a fucking dead heat with a trillion dollar albatross hanging around McCain's neck. With the most woefully unqualifed running mate, possibly ever. The crazy little man is riding a eight year tsunami of failure into the election, and it's a dead heat. The Republicans are going to play nasty, they're going to purge democratic voters from the rolls, they're going to cheat where they can. All they have to do is keep it close until November and you're all going to wake up one morning in February to see that we've invaded Iran. Paranoid? Fuck that. Those things are allready happening. It sucks. The American electorate is stupid and will not only get the government that it wants, but will certainly get the government that it deserves.

gotta say, Palin as VP terrifies me more than Cheney. Sure, he's evil. But she's evil & incompetent.

ReplyDeleteDid you read the latest news or were you just prophetic:
"Lose Your Home, Lose Your Vote" under

(How Republicans try to reduce the number of Democratic voters.)
In the comments, I liked especially:
> Karl Rove worried about voters' rights?
> Does a chicken entrust its safety to Colonel Sanders?
Still, there is chance for the Republicans to loose, if the debate centers on issues, like healthcare, not "he said, she said", if voters connect the current economic status with current policies: "are you better off than 4 years ago?"
While media debate pigs, treasury secretary Paulson distributes hundreds of billions among his banker buddies in federal guarantees, see

against the constitution, which reserves that right to congress. He leaves not only the people but also the federal budget worse off, making future investments in infrastructure more difficult. Someone want to call Paulson on that, promising him an investigation? Someone want to protest Federal Reserves' subsidies to Paulsons banking buddies who blew up the firm and endangered the financial system, while there seems to be no money to insure all children's health? What are the Democrats doing? The election should be no beauty contest where Sarah Palin has the most experience, but a debate about the future direction of the country. Where is the debate? Bring it on.
Today, the Republicans have sealed it for Obama, I believe. By asking congress for a bailout of banks for HALF A TRILLION dollars or more, the Bush administration has admitted economic defeat; the Republicans are discredited. If Obama handles this well, he will sail smoothly to victory in November. What awaits him in January, however, is an economic storm.
