Migukland Election Day Open Thread

Surely there are numerous conservatives disappointed and disheartened by the second consecutive cock-whipping their party have taken in national elections…a back-to-back beating that occurs only once or twice per century. And to those people, if you’re now looking for someone to blame for the position you now find your party in, you need only to look in a fucking mirror to find the responsible party.

Your short-sighted blind faith in the current dunce-in-chief in the early part of this decade brought a couple of empty victories, and yet a whole lot of fucking long-term pain. An entire generation of young voters now view the GOP as the party of simple doofuses and easily-mocked fools…and backing Palin has only exaccerbated the problem. It’s time to grow the fuck up and quit pandering to the lowest common denominator. Time to start looking for candidates with intelligence and ideas rather than cowboy boots and snow shoes.

K*shib*/user-81, there’s a thin line between bold and stupid. Of course you put yourself on the bold side of that line, but the reality is that you were simply unable to look at the broad picture, look at all the statistics, polls, and other factors, and then reach a logical consclusion. That’s hardly bold, but it does qualify as blind and ignorant, regardless of whatever pose you choose to take on your way out the door.

Deep Thought:

Empty suit is too kind. Barack is a scumbag, and he’ll be lucky to get 135 electoral votes this fall in an election that by all rights belongs to the Democratic Party. Congratulations, Democrats, you’ve done it again!

More Deep Thought:

I think Sarah Palin was and is a good pick for Vice President, and look forward to voting for her for President someday.

I wish I could have told you more at the time but all of it was put off the record until after the election. There was great concern in the McCain campaign that Sarah Palin lack the degree of knowledgeability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, and a heartbeat away from the presidency. We’re told by folks that she didn’t know what countries that were in NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, that being the Canada, the US, and Mexico. We’re told she didn’t understand that Africa was a continent rather than a country just in itself … a whole host of questions that caused serious problems about her knowledgeability.

Final Deep Thought:

NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin’s shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain’s top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family—clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent “tens of thousands” more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast,” and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits. its books.
