POLITICS: Crybaby Town

For a man who spent five years in a POW prison, McCain sure is a relentless pussy. He's having a big boo hoo party over America's questioning of his moronic VP pick, Sarah Palin. Apparently, if you pick on poor, little Sarah, you are being a sexist. Never mind that she is supremely unqualified to be president of the United States, any criticism is all about her having a vagina.



The mighty Republican Party, longtime defenders of women's rights, are now hitting the airwaves claiming the only reason people are attacking Sarah Palin is because she is a woman. Please ignore the Troopergate scandal, the fact that she is married to a traitor and was at one time a traitor herself, lied about visiting Ireland, didn't travel out of the country until two years ago, belongs to an insanely backwards church, thinks 11-year-olds who were raped by their father should be forced to give birth, used government money to fund a "cure gays" organization, tried to ban books, abused her power by firing people who opposed her views or divorced her sister, believes Iraq is a war being fought for God, and has a preacher who claimed voting for John Kerry would send you to hell. None of those things are relevant for baby time McCain. If you criticize Sarah Palin, it's because she's a woman with a pregnant daughter.



See, the pregnant daughter situation is off limits. You can tell that from this video of John McCain greeting the father and mother of the fetus in Minnesota.







That's what one does when they want such a private situation to stay private; they bring reporters to take photos of the guy who shot his goo into the 17-year-old girl. Also, when one doesn't want anyone to talk about the pregnancy situation, they come out to the media and break the story of their own daughter's unwed pregnancy. Parading said couple around at the Republican National Convention? Totally cool. After all, it is a private situation. That's why the soon-to-be husband of the 17-year-old daughter has been hastily flown in to be paraded around- because they need their privacy. Remember, if you bring this up, you are being sexist.



See, playing the "gender card" is totally cool, as opposed to when Obama supporters claimed McCain was playing the "race card" after he created ads that had obvious racial overtones. That was different. I guess because Obama has a penis and black skin, while Palin has a vagina and white skin. If anybody dared say that McCain's ads were racist, he and his people screamed that Obama was playing the "race card." It was soooo offensive. But now, when anyone dares to question Palin's obvious lack of qualifications and bizarre beliefs, they are sexist. McCain is a weak, clownish pussy who can't stand up and take any sort of heat.



But the most amusing part of this story is that Obama has gone out of his way to say "families are off limits." Most Democrats are avoiding the topic of her pregnancy and trying to talk about the multitude of other problems with Palin. She's a walking disaster, so it's not difficult. But whenever someone brings up just one of the multitude of problems with Palin, the McCain camp screams like children that Democrats and the "liberal media" are attacking Palin's "private life" because she is "a woman." It's laughable and quite sickening. The Republicans are using a 17-year-old girls horrible situation for their own political advantage. They are now driving the story of the girl's pregnancy, using her as bait and creating a victim story of their own making.

The victim here is a young unwed couple who were outed by Republicans and are now being used in the biggest game on Earth. McCain and his people are complete and total scum.



And insane hypocrites. Right-wingers jumped out of their panties when Jamie Lynn Spears announced she was pregnant. That was a glaring example of our societies decay, but Bristol Palin's pregnancy is a celebration of the pro-life cause and should not be discussed for any reason. Certainly not because her mother is using her as a pawn as she attempts to win the vice presidency.



John McCain is a coward. Real men stand up and defend the choices they have made; they don't make excuses and use children in horrible situations as pawns to fulfill their ambitious desires. Real men also don't play the gender card and make claims that certain topics should be off limits, when they are guilty of far worse behavior.

See, that's sexism, McCain. Attacking a teenage girl for her looks. What a fucking coward. Oh, and real men don't make jokes about women loving rape.







He's a scumbag, pure and simple. And he's weak. Weak for allowing the religious lunatics of his party to make his vice presidential choice for him.

Bending over for those he used to fight against.

But I guess that's why he spent five years in a POW camp, suffering inhumanly for five years, so someday he could run for president and not stand by his convictions. Any real man who goes through a horrifying experience comes to understand that life is about not doing what you feel is right and allowing others to make your most important decisions. It's true. Torture apparently just makes one a groveling bitch for the religious right. At this point, I am more disgusted by McCain because he was a POW. What man doesn't walk away from something like that with some personal conviction? What man doesn't walk away from 5 years of torture and say, "I'm going to live my life the way I want." A man like John McCain, I guess. Full of ambition and weak to the core.



There's your teenage-girl attacking, rape joke making, using teenage girls as a pawn war hero. Feel the pride, Republicans.



I should also ad that I was not going to vote for McCain or Obama, but McCain's choice of Palin as VP has forced me to rethink that decision. I will now reluctantly cast my vote for Obama. She is that frightening of a human being. Palin is a religious lunatic of the highest caliber. I see no difference between the Taliban and Neanderthals like Palin.

I know a lot of liberals feel rather engergized against Palin. Something a lot of us couldn't really feel for McCain, given his more liberal positions in the past.

Reaper,

You are a sexist. Stating that Ms. Palin is horrible person for running for VP and not "taking care of her children" as you did in your last hatchet job is as sexist as it comes. Why can't her husband do that?

You are also falling for a trap. Palin is a distraction and she is meant to draw the obama-lama-bots nasty attacks, after which McCain will rightfully call your camp sexist.

Yep reaper you and the other obamabots have a staring role in the play called "Stealing Defeat from the Jaws of of Certain Victory; Obama-lama-bots fuck america by electing McCain."

I never said any such thing. You should look up what such a quote implies before you make an accusation. You are wrong and the trolling is getting tedious.

The more that is revealed about Palin, the more I think they selected her just so she could drop out. This way the republicans get credit for nominating a woman, and a religious zealot, while at the same time get to blame the liberals for forcing her out.

Reaaper, I'm with you 100% on this one. I was undecided until I saw Palin talk. I knew I was going to have to throw my vote in with Obama when I became physically ill just from listening to her. How can you blast you opposition for "issuing orders" to the public while supporting a constitutional ban on Gay Marriage and overturning the right to choose? Her party parades her daughter's choice around for all to see, then plainly states that they don't want any other woman to have the ability to choose for themselves.

so your admitting that this is strategy? slimey strategy meant to distract, manipulate & confuse?

doesn't your response just back up Reaper's article and bean's thread?

i'm pretty sure mccain lacked personal conviction before he even was a POW, as illustrated by his eagerness to sell out to his captors.

I don't even know what I just read...What's an Obama-lama-bot? Are you saying that McCain is using Palin as a human shield for criticism Because that would make him all the more despicable a candidate. Furthermore, what makes him worth electing when he clearly spends more time at the tailor getting his suits made than he does picking his running mate. Heck, I spent more time researching my last movie rental. She is a poor choice all around and McCain and the republicans have handled the criticism like a spoiled child.

FTR didn't say "Take care of your children" as in feed them a square meal every day, talk to them about drugs and alcohol abuse and drive them to soccer practice. I wouldn't say bringing your daughter with you to the RNC is inhumane (I suppose it depends on your opinion of republicans) but it sure is tacky and not becoming of parent. It's not her husbands fault that she's not a decent human being and parade her daughter around for the world to see and then in turn uses HER as a human shield for criticism. That's what FTR meant...take care of your kids, don't parade them in front of the media to appear righteous. I honestly don't even know where you got sexism out of that.

And Please stop saying Obamabots. We are the Obama-Borg and resistance is futile. All will be assimilated. (BTW for those of you already assimilated there will be an ice cream social next friday.)

Ok, seriously? They are breaking his balls over repeating a joke 12 YEARS AGO? What is next? "McCain is not really a Christian because he farted in church once when he was 15".

I can see giving him shit for picking a VP candidate he'd met once and never did enough dirt digging to see if she was going to hang his candidacy. I said this early on: The Republicans do not really like McCain. They shit talked him at the beginning of the campaigns, realized their chances of winning this election were pretty remote, so they give him the nod and then throw him under the bus. I don't believe that no one in his organization knew Palin was suicide for his campaign.

The entire GOP has flip-flopped on sexism and a host of other matters with the selection and support of Palin, and I hope people are smart enough to see that.

Im voting for Barr regardless so I dont have a dog in this fight at all. I do however have sympathy for the 17 year old girl. She has definately gotten caught in the crossfire of a sickeningly brutal showdown. No sympathy for anyone else. Palins a woman, people are going to call her a "cunt". Right? Wrong? Irrellevant...reality. Obama is half black, if he thinks backward, inbred, cullman county fuck tards arent going to call him a "nigger" he needs a psychological evaluation, and John McCain is old enough to be my great grandfather, which carry's its own laundry list of legitimate concerns.

None of these assholes have a working plan to fix the economy, the criminal justice system, or the energy crisis. They all think smoking pot in your own house should be a more serious offense than driving drunk in a school zone at 3:00 in the afternoon. Race, Gender and age lose thier relevance when you are an ignorant asshole.

oh john stewart, why most you have so much damn archival footage?

wow. the rove part was ridiculous.

To me McCain's cries of 'you're sexist if you criticize Palin' are remarkably similar to President Bush's cries that 'you are unpatriotic and hate America if you criticize the war in Iraq'. It just sounds to me like the same page in the GOP strategy book. I'm just gong to sit back with a bowl of popcorn and watch the Republican party self destruct.

I wish I didn't watch last night. I was sickened by the whole show. Between the faces in the crowd with idiotic, creepy smiles on their faces and Palin's smug, self-righteous speech, I thought I was going to vomit. And fucking Giuliani. He is a disgusting, preposterous man. I hope Biden and Obama come out and hand them a savage beating, taking the wind out of the Republican's sanctimonious sails.

really? laura didn't think it was smug & self-righteous.

you know, Reaper, you need to stop holding back.

This woman terrifies me. I'm sorry, but it seems like the Republicans panicked and wanted to have a woman on the ticket who would appeal to the superficial side of America. Understandably, that is the side a majority of us let make decisions....

Seriously, there were so many FAR MORE SANE/QUALIFIED candidates to be VP under McCain, and a few of them were women too! I don't know what he was smoking, but I'm sure I should get a sample so my local D.A.R.E. volunteers can warn all the good lil' childrenses away from it.

The culture of victim hood is so pervasive in the GOP, its stunning. I guess the GOP strategy is to hope McCain can hide behind Palin's vagina for the next 90 days.

That's Karl Rove. He operates in a reality of his own creation. The Karl Roviverse.

I have REALLY got to start watching the Daily Show.

somebody needs to photoshop Rove's face over that blue guy with the horns that always hovered behind Palpatine in Ep II and III (and Chancellor Velorum in Ep I).

"In Dick Morris's defense, he is a lying sack of shit."

Best thing ever.

the Daily Show has been on fire since last week, this week especially. they're not really having to try, as the Republicans seem to be putting out more easy material in the last week than i've really ever seen. it's magnificent.
