Political Woes

As a general rule, I am not a particularly political person. However, with the upcoming election I find myself strangely drawn to the world of politics, the individual contestants (because, lets be serious, this is just a nationwide gameshow), and the "rules" of the game. In my own humble opinion, nothing can be worse than the last 8 wretched years of Dubya's "strategery," but I think that the Hooker in Boots (Sarah Palin) might rate a close second. I am reminded of my earlier post "Cheney/Voldemort '08" which should just be changed to "McCain/Volemort" for more accuracy. For the first time ever, I actually watched a debate (Palin/Biden), with the intent of witnessing what I had hoped would be a royal trainwreck. It wasn't quite as bad as I had hoped, but it was close. She deftly managed to not adequately answer a single question, all the while toting her and McCain's talents as "mavericks." Which, of course, they are not. If she made one more nebulous reference to plans for Iraq, or how to solve the energy crisis, I was going to shoot myself in the head. Now, I think every candidate should be able to choose their own running mate, but I think that McCain's decision has was the final death knell for the Republican party in this election. If he was looking for the Hilary vote, he was sorely mistaken. Just because she has a set of ovaries does not mean that she is remotely qualified to represent the opinions of any modern woman in America today. Quite the opposite; she is, most certainly, the Bridge to Nowhere.
