I actually watched some of the GOP convention tonight, mainly because I wanted to hear Sarah Palin for herself. She fucking pissed me off. It was kind of hilarious, because it made Obama's least substantive speech sound like an economics dissertation. Ever single aspect of it was, I'm just a small town girl who doesn't like Washington big shots telling us what to blah blah, and John McCain is such a great man, he's the only man who's really fought to protect you, blah blah etc. It's just like 2004, it's all aimed at wealthy suburban housewives who want a strong man to protect them from scary brown people.
I just hope that these PUMA types and other disgruntled Hillary voters realize that if they vote for McCain-Palin, this is the kind of worldview they're voting for. I don't think Palin even thinks her daughter's pregnancy is even really a scandal: she likes the idea of kids getting pregnant early, not using birth control, marrying the first person they have sex with and settling into small town mommy mode right away. You can either vote for a carbon copy of Hillary's policies who won because people like him more (where does this fiction of Obama's arrogance come from? How many humble politicians do you know?! And why do people have so much trouble believing that young liberals don't like the idea of voting for a former first lady who's been entrenched in the same Rolling Stone-vs Brooks Brothers Boomer politics?), or you can vote for a former loose canon (That started out as unintentional. Heh) who's swung farther right than the current administration and who will get to elect two supreme court justices and who has pledged to overturn Roe v Wade and who needs to woo right wing Christian conservatives to pay back his social capitol.
But one of her daughters is hot.
