Political Panopticon
Posted by Trevor Danger on October 3, 2008
This will be quick, but I’m fucking sick of the pandering and have to say something.
We’ve lived under a C-student administration for eight fucking years. Probably worse. So, why the hell are people applauding Sarah Palin like she’s a fucking special needs kid who managed to NOT to get her ice cream cone all over herself? Seriously. All the news networks are fawning over how much she DIDN’T fuck up too bad. Stop rewarding mediocrity, American public. We all know why McCain picked her, and it wasn’t for her moose-hunting skills. I’m not even pro-Obama (both candidates voted for that ridiculous bailout bill), but I don’t think the adoring soccer moms realize the repercussions of voting for someone “just like them”.
THIS could be the future president of America, people.
McCain’s fucking old. Hold Palin up to the standards every other candidate is held up to. If women truly want to be treated and respected like men, then stop using a double standard by giving her banana stickers for doing an alright job. Don’t vote for someone because they did “okay”. Vote beyond the celebrity atmosphere that our political process has developed into. Do your research, vote with your hearts and do not settle for another C-student. Please.

I totally agree with what you’re saying here. I personally find Palin as a choice for VP as a perfect example of just how little Republicans think of women in general. Out of all the women in this country, they pick a complete idiot. I find that choice to be insulting and demeaning.
