Smart or dumb you have to admit the the Sarah Palin choice of VP nominee shows the cranky old duffer really wants to win
BAD!
It's an incredible risk, after all. Even though Obama picked a
notorious idiot with a head full of chia-pet-looking hair plugs who has
an unbroken thirty-six year record of left-wing votes, moronic miscues
and tooth-filled grimaces when he is crossed at some committee hearing
we're all used to Joe Biden's ineffective irrelevance. One look at
Barak Obama tells you that he's not about to keel over any time soon
so Biden can just spend the next four years dedicating bridges and
going to funerals.
Palin is another story. She is an unabashed Social Conservative, something that has literally
never been
seen in a national campaign. Even hunters like Dick Cheney are usually
seen in Elmer Fudd-looking twee country outfits responsibly holding
their shotgun at the safe angle as they quietly stalk mallards in the
canebreaks not dressed in cammo intensely aiming an M-16 at some
out-of-frame menace. In my neck of the woods horrible rural rednecks
who drive snowmobiles real fast through Gaia's peaceful forest spewing
Global Warming-causing carbon emissions as they head home for a bowl of
moose chili made from the carcass of some poor innocent critter they
wasted with their laser-sighted, high-muzzle-velocity state-of-the-art
rifle are the dreaded enemy. Having five, FIVE!, children is an act of
appalling gaucherie, another rural affectation that shows how extreme
Sarah Palin is to us urbanites. She's not Health Club healthy she's
Outdoors healthy. She says a lot to NASCAR people but my youngest
daughter, a true swing voter going back and forth between her default
Dem leanings and her dislike of Obama and his socialism, Palin's social
conservative views are a shock. But she certainly will have the same
effect on born-again Christians that Obama has on blacks. She will spur
a massive and enthusiastic turnout among people who were talking about
staying home this time. She helps down-ticket Republican candidates in
tight races.
Another thing about Palin is that, unlike the
apparently healthful Obama, the Wrinkly Old White Dude (thanks Paris!)
has a history of cancer and sometimes turns a bright shade of purple
when he's crossed. He could go any day in a cinniption fit or be eaten
by a raging melanoma. You have to seriously consider whether Palin has
the grit to take on the Presidency; it's a real possibility. That is
something she's going to have to prove by getting out on the stump. The
enraged libs, furious that McLame has smacked them and knocked them off
the stupid 'we're just like you' message that Barak's weak closing
speech didn't sell, are going to hit this chick with everything but the
kitchen sink. She's everything they
really hate. Dickless Cheney.
To
add to her list of deviltry in lib eyes is her unabashed association
with and advocacy of Big Oil. Drilling gets you pregnant and solves
energy crisises and Sarah Palin is obviously a drilling enthusiast. The
cause of increasing our nation's production of hydrocarbons will have a
sexy and effective spokesperson and that is the issue that will
determine this election. Nothing else. The swing group, blue-collar
working class types, love their carbon culture. This weekend, in
Southern California, there's a three hundred mile line of Winnebagos,
SUVs and pick ups leaving the burbs and heading out to the desert and
The River (the Colorado River) towing trailers with dirt bikes, ATVs,
Jet-skis and dune buggies filled with the swing voters that McLame and
the boys want to get. The kind of people who want so see some ballsy
babe take on a pack of sneering elitist Ivy League educated smart boys
and whip their butts while she defends every American's God-Given right
to internal combustion. Now all she has to do is whip their butts. I'll
be watching.
