Are they really that stupid?

GOP/Conservative prognosticators are not just stupid, but dumb stupid if they really believe this about Hillary Clinton's supporters. And these people want to run our country? Not if I can help it.

There's a lot I like about Sarah Palin. And there is plenty not to like. But the more I learn about McCain's VP decision, the more I think the whole thing stinks.

Here's a big reason why. I share a zip code with the Falwells and they are doing cartwheels over McCain's choice of Palin. These were hard-core Huckabee folks. The Falwells were not behind McCain at all. But now they are gushing verbal boners over Palin.

That's all I need to know.

Then there is the duplicity of machine Republicans who are willing to disregard allegations of abuse of office by Palin. Though they are allegations, there is apparently enough smoke to suggest a fire. Yet the Right is swooning over her. If Palin were a Democrat, Rottweiler's like Michelle Malkin would be taking her to task.

It's all so fucking partisan.

How can McCain, running on experience, pick someone he does not even know, except for one face-to-face meeting? Why did he choose someone with absolutely no international street cred? Was she chosen to appease the Religious Right?

If so, then so much for "country first."

McCain's choice of Palin just convinced me that he is unfit to be chief executive officer of the United States of America.

Not that it matters. I never intended to vote for McCain. I have not and will not vote for GOP candidates on principle. And I won't as long as they keep bending over and taking it up the ass from the Religious Right.

I have to know that who ever wins in November, they are competent and rational. We've had eight years of incompetence and religious fundamentalism. It's not working. We can't have any more.

Though Obama is inexperienced, he has shown himself to be competent and rational. McCain just blew any notion I had of his fitness for the presidency.

The maverick got my attention with his choice of Palin, I'll admit that. I thought, "That feisty old fart isn't going to cede anything to Obama. He's making it a fight." Still, I would NEVER have voted for McCain. NEVER.

EVER.
