Kill Whitey: Just How Stupid Do the Republicans Think We Are and Are They Right?

(Authors Note: Sorry it's been a while. In the space of the last 3 weeks the person I was cutting trees down for, the same man I was to rent the Almost West Virginia house from, suddenly passed away. His son swooped in and is selling the house and it now looks like I'm not gonna get paid for the tree cutting. Also 2 new people moved in on either side of me, both of whom own pit bulls. Walking Buster and Sarah has taken on the flavor of redneck rollerball and if that wasn't enough, thanks to CSPAN, I watched nearly all of both National Conventions, so my mood might be a little, shall we say colored, and evident in the following piece. But not by much.)

    In an act of cynicism to which I can only aspire, John McCain - or more likely the Republican Party - selected Sarah Palin as his V.P. in a transparent attempt to mollify his Christofascist base and perhaps wrest a place in History from Hillary Clinton. Palin, a red hot trailer trash hockey mom just slightly to the right of, say, Hitler, has gone, in days, from deserved obscurity to the spotlight of the National Stage (if only for minutes at a time) w/a resume and familial issues that have the Republicans flip-flopping like the dying fish they are.

   Take the 'bridge to nowhere' debacle. Palin proudly boasts that she lilled this particularly odious earmark but fails to mention that she kept the 27 million dollars to buils the access road to said bridge. Reformer, my ass.

     Then there's 'troopergate', where it's alleged that Palin (ab)used her power in an attempt to get her sister's ex husband fired from the Alaska State Troopers. Reformer my ass.

     And of course, there's the pregnant daughter. Now, I agree that this is nothing new and that things happen in even 'the best of homes', but I find it suspect and not a little creepy that suddenly the Republican Party just looooooves illegitimate children and have chosen this issue to proudly bow out of people's personal lives and not, say, Bill Clinton's infamous blowjob. Reformers, my ass. Besides can you imagine the outcry if Barak Obama had, say,  a 17 yr old daughter who got knocked up by a thuglike boyfriend who showed up at the DNC looking like he just won the Stupid Lottery?

      Serious side note: OK the kids are off limits, but check out the Palin boyfriend's myspace page (and I quote:) 'I'm just a fuckin' redneck. Fuck w/me and I'll kick ass.' and, of course the deathless 'I don't want kids.' Trust me, this whiteboy's a punkass slut who's getting shotgunned into marriage by a political machine.

   Watching Palin, McCain, Romney and their ilk spew their brandy new 'change' message all the while lying through perfect teeth about working surges and airplanes on ebay appalled me. 'How stupid do they think we are?" I thought. 'Is anyone actually buying this crap?' I thought.  Then I watched the cheering masses in St. Paul and have listened to the locals talk about her (Palin) like the second coming of Joan of Fucking Arc and I slowly start to realize why we've been saddled w/the most corrupt administration West of Putin for the last 8 years:

     People are stupid.

     Not just ill-informed. Stupid. And lazy,.But mostly stupid. Around these parts and other parts, I'm sure,  Palin's getting praised for dangerously idiotic comments like 'The Iraq War is a call from God" and that the (so far nonexistent) plan to end the war is 'God's plan'. Come on, folks, we've had 8 years of these 'God talks to me' religious wingnuts and look where it's got us. Hated by much of the world for our simplistic and overbearing certainty that god blesses our 'right' to tell other cultures they're not good enough.

   So fuck this gun totin', bible thumpin' wolf murdering bitch from the North country who, 13 days into the zeitgeist has the gall to demean community service while exalting her own intentions to hide from the press.

   And while yr at it fuck John McCain for kissing W's ass just to win a contest and betraying what integrity he had all the while reminding us that he's a war hero. But you know what? McCain crashed not 1, not 2, not even 3, but five fucking airplane in his career. I'm starting to think he's bad luck.
