Red Neck Nation

>


This piggy-wiggy hubby of Scientologist/Fox News thingamajig Greta Van Susteren just switched from Clinton to McCain, bitching that MoveOn.org has taken over the Democratic Party; if only! More likely this was the piggy-wiggy who didn't like his hotel accommodations for the DNC. Watch the video and you'll see how stupid and brain dead this guy. His reason, he says, for switching to McCain is because of McCain's position on torture. I'm guessing he doesn't even know that, in the end, McCain voted for torture for all his posturing. When they call him "one of Hillary's biggest supporters" I wonder what they mean?

I switched too, about two or three weeks ago-- from CNN to MSNBC. So I never see Jack Cafferty anymore. Fortunately a friend sent me this commentary about the Republican Party and it's much-diminished yawner of a convention:
This week the Republicans gather for their convention. For four days, they will labor under the illusion their party is still relevant. It's not.

It is entirely fitting that the headliner for this masquerade is a feeble looking 72-year-old white guy who doesn't know how many homes he owns.

It's more than symbolic that when a million Americans are losing their homes to foreclosure, the Republican candidate for president has lost track of his holdings.

McCain surrounds himself with people like former Republican Sen. Phil Gramm who called America a "nation of whiners" and said we are only suffering a "mental recession."

That's the same problem the Republican Party has. It has lost track of what it used to stand for: small government, a disciplined fiscal policy, integrity.

In a way, the perfect storm of a rapidly changing population-- old white people aren't going to be in the majority very much longer (and isn't that who most of the Republicans are?)-- has combined with the total abdication of principles, Republican or otherwise, of arguably the worst president in the nation's history to mark the beginning of the end of the Republican Party as we know it.

Republican Congressman Tom Davis of Virginia said it best: "The Republican brand is in the trash can. If we were dog food, they would take us off the shelf."

It is so bad that more than 10 percent of the Republican members of the United States Senate aren't even bothering to attend their own party's convention. They recognize dog food when they see it.

...Republicans stand to be turned out of office at every level-- from the U.S. Congress to governors' mansions and state legislatures. Republicans who remain in office will be rendered impotent by their shrinking numbers.

Republicans under George W. Bush have done a lot of damage to this country in the last eight years-- but they have done more damage to themselves. It will take a good long while and a great deal of soul searching before their brand returns to the shelves in good standing.

Don't look for it to happen in St. Paul, Minnesota. This week, Republicans will be happy in the land of make believe.


John McCain has no honor, no dignity whatsoever

But McCain isn't giving up without a fight! In fact he signed up someone he knows, from first hand experience is a fighter-- South Carolina smearmesieter Tucker Eskew. Former colleagues of McCain's were shocked and disgusted, mostly because Eskew smeared McCain and his family to high heaven in 2000. He's being put in charge of Palin. At least we know what we can expect from her now! Among the charges against McCain that Eskew used to help Bush win the GOP primary were that he was "the fag candidate," had a black baby and other illegitimate children and that Cindy McCain was a drug addict (which was true at one time, although she claims she is no longer addicted).

Levi Johnston, the nice-looking young man who knocked up Palin's 17 year old, Bristol, is a senior at Wasilla High School. On his My Space page he brags about being a red neck-- and then proves it.
"I'm a fuckin' redneck" who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.

"But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some shit and just fuckin' chillin' I guess."

"Ya fuck with me I'll kick [your] ass," he added.

He also claims to be "in a relationship," but states, "I don't want kids."

Since the very backward governor of his state opposes contraception and any education about reproduction other than abstinence, it was inevitable that his red neck semen would impregnate some foolish and equally ignorant girl whose parents had let her down by keeping her in ideologoly-based-darkness. Ironic that it was the governor's own daughter. Fitting. More fitting is that what Cafferty calls a party in the and of make believe has turned itself, willfully into the party of the Red Neck Nation, one that feels perfectly comfortable nominating someone with bizarre, far from the mainstream views who was advocating that her state secede from the Union a few years ago. Forget about Willow and Track and Sarah and Levi and all these drunken kooks from Alaska. America needs to know more about McCain's vetting process. Can you imagine what he's liable to stick us with when it comes time for cabinet posts and, Heaven Forbid-- a Supreme Court post? (In fact, Jesus' General speculates on what McCain's all White Trash Cabinet would look like. Meet Earl J. Poteet, Chastity Screed and Malcolm Witherspoon.)

Right now, office pools around the country are collecting money on two bets-- what day will Palin drop out and who will be willing to replace her? So while Obama basks in his post-convention bounce, McCain's #1 strategist is reduced to calling Senator Joe Biden a doofus.

Howie, yesterday my husband, who is not Jewish, turned to me and said, re. Palin: "She's a schlepper." I was so proud...

And isn't it true that Sarah Palin supports having chapters of the Junior Anti-Sex League in high schools?
