Palin is retarded

Why does Sarah Palin bring her children everywhere she goes?

Because when she leaves them home they get pregnant! (Budum CHI!)

This woman is so stupid she doesn’t know what her job description is. And despite what she says the section of the constitution that describes the role of the vice president is NOT open for interpretation. Article 1, section 3 is pretty explicit. Nothing nuanced about it.

I agree with Matt Damon that the prospect of this woman being in the white House is scary.

I must admit though, every time she opens her mouth it lifts my mood. Because she’s hilarious. Not on purpose but because she’s so clueless.

This next clip conjures up images in my head of a giant Vladimir Putin head just floating over Alaska and there’s Sarah Palin on her front lawn saying “I warned you guys. Now will you admit I really do have foreign policy experience?”.

Here the Governer explains to us that Alaska is not a foreign country… then gets tackled by Terry Tate.

In this clip she explains her position on abortion. She says she’s “pro-life”. As if the rest of us are pro-death. Like we want to kill babies. Her position on this enrages me so much I can’t sit here and explain why she’s wrong. All I can say is that people like her are all for the “life of the child” but its alright to kill adults by lethal injection, the electric chair, or in a gas chamber. Oh no, they’re all for killing adults who are cognisant and aware of what is going on around them but aborting a fetus that won’t die a painful death, won’t even be aware it’s dying, and if it was aware would forget a millisecond later because it has the mental capacity of an earthworm is a no-no. Personally I think that once a person is aware of the fact he/she is alive it is the worst kind of torture to make them face their own mortality. To let them count down the hours they have left. That is the worst kind of knowledge. And don’t give me that bullshit about how those people deserve the death penalty because I’ll have to give you a speech about how the real world works and how sometimes abortion IS a legitimate option. I really think the only reason we’re one of the few developed countries that still has the death penalty is because prisons are big business and we have more prisoners than we do space in prison. So how do we make space? Kill some of the bastards.

And now let’s watch Sarah say some really fuckin’ weird shit at a church:

I know I’m kind of all over the place in this blog but there’s so much that upsets me about the right wing. Sarah Palin just happens to bring it all together for me. Ughh… The thing about republicans and especially the religious right that upsets me is that everything is binary. Black and white. Good and evil. But we don’t live in the simple right wing world. We live in the real world where things have some nuance. A man steals a loaf of bread. Is that wrong? He’s homeless and needs to feed his family. Is it still wrong? I’ll give you a hint. The correct answer is not “he should just get a job” or something about poor people on welfare being lazy. The correct answer is nuanced. It has about a thousand shades of gray to it.

If I had the chance to tell every right winger in the country just one thing it would be that we don’t live in simple binary land. We live in a world colored by shades of gray.

Vote Obama.
Never accept a provisional ballot- only a real one will do
Check with your county registrar before you vote. The repubs are trying to steal another election by bumping people like you and me off the voter rolls (then throw an unnecessary hissy fit over acorn).
