Republicans don’t know how to NOT abuse power…

… And right wingers wear their stupidity with pride.

I’m not going to talk about Obama in this post, because he’s really not that relevant to what I want to say. Frankly, if you put Charles Manson on the Democratic ticket, I’d STILL vote for them over John McSame-Old and Sarah “Lying Bitch” Palin.

McCain this week said that he is “fundamentally a deregulator” and that he wants to privatise health insurance and deregulate it so that it works the same way as the banking industry does. He said that this week.A week which has seen more financial institutions fold, be bailed out by tax money, or forced to merge than in any other time in history – including the Great Depression of the 1920s! McCain also ran a TV ad this week criticising Obama for associating with a lobbyist from Fanny May. The truth is, Obama met the man once at a party, spoke to him for a few minutes and then forgot about him – Whereas John McCain’s entire campaign team is composed of Washington lobbyists – many of them who used to work for Fanny May! You couldn’t make this stuff up! What a lying, amoral piece of shit John McSame-Old is!

Then there’s Palin. Oh, dear God, where to start… A fundamentalist Christian gun-nut who thinks that children should NOT be taught about birth-control or “the mechanics of sex” in schools because their parents should be teaching them abstinence DESPITE HER OWN 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER BEING PREGNANT!!!! How stupid do you want to be? It’s pretty obvious that Bristol Palin managed to figure out the mechanicsof sex just fine despite her mother doing her best to stop her from finding out – what a pitty that her young life is now essentially over before she’s had a chance to get any experience of the world for herself. And why? Because Mommy would never allow Bristol to know what a condom, or an IUD coil, or the birth control pill, or a diaphragm are for! Stupid, selfish bitch, spoiling her young daughter’s life – along with the lives of millions of other American girls, if she gets her way.

And there’s more! Despite the fact that we have absolute, incontrovertible proofthat the universe is billions of years old, and that evolution is proven beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt, this stupid, stupid woman wants to teach creationism in schools! Creationism! What is this, the dark ages?

And, on top of allof that – She fired a man for refusing to help her persue a vendetta against her brother in law. She abused the power given to her as the governer of a wilderness state – What on Earth do you think she’d do as VP or, God forbid, President?

We’ve had 8 years of a stupid, selfish, right-wing, Christian-fundamentalist idiot in the White House. So far it’s directly cost more than 100,000 lives (for which I sincerely hope Bush, Blair, Rice and Cheyney are charged with 100,000 counts of murder), all because one man wanted a war – and don’t be fooled, there was no other reason for it than that. George W Bush wanted a war in Iraq, and made damned sure that he would get one at all costs – including deleting a page from the joint intelligence report which stated that Iraq was not a threat and was never likely to be a threat so long as they were not provoked, inventing reasons to fight which did not really exist and ignoring UN weapons inspectors who said that Iraq was not a threat, did nothave WMDs, was co-operating fully with unplanned, no-notice inspections at all of their facilities, and that they would be able to confirm within two weeksthat Saddam had no capability of producing WMDs – time which they were blocked from being allowed by George W Bush himself.

On top of this, we’re now in the ridiculous, undemocratic, unfair situation that even people like me who don’t invest or buy shares, or even have anything to do with the stock markets, can have our lives blighted by men who we have never met, gambling with our money without our permission, keeping the winnings when they win - and being totally unaccountable when they lose. It’s our pensions that become worthless, not their mansions. And now that they’re in trouble, what’s happened more taxpayer’s money, our money, is used to bail them out!

How on Earth could anybody even consider voting for McSame-Old and Lying Bitch after 8 years of this crap?
