McCain-Palin Haiku Hysteria

Adam Selene — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 20:40:46 +0000

Religious zealot,
Cultivating ignorance.
Ya betcha my friend.

The bridge to “no” where.
Steady hand on the tiller.
Bold-faced lies. Nothing else.

McCain and Palin.
They’re peddling ignorance.
Obama for me.

And more…

Polar bear, wild wolf,
threatened and under attack.
Palin’s Alaska.

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight…
Seventeen times in one night.
Vote for hope and light.

Can the right do more
than fight, fight, fight? I vote for
Obama and change.

What’cha got?!

Sarah Palin’s Secret Blog

Wow. I knew the Palin nomination to the GOP ticket was a stunt, but maybe she is really a closet intellectual playing the part of an ignorant, religious zealot! I’ll let you be the judge!

“… He called last night to wish me well for the debate. Just before he hung up the phone, he mentioned being halfway through Amartya Sen’s collected works and wondering if he had fully absorbed the practical implications. “You know what I mean,” he said.

I ended the phone call hastily and pondered his words for a minute. Had he, or one of his aides, seen me toting my copy of “Collective Choice and Social Welfare”? It has already been a few weeks since I put down my Sen and picked up Friedrich Hayek. Still – was Biden trying to rattle me before the debate? Merde!”

Won’t the fundementalist christians and the right-wing gun lovers and the conservative republicans be shocked when they learn that the new poster girl of ignorant America is really one of the “elite” that they scorn?!

Why Gamble on McCain?

Supporting McCain has always seemed like a big gamble, but never more than after learning about his ties to gambling money through both the tribes and their casinos and Vegas and its power and money.

Senator John McCain was on a roll. In a room reserved for high-stakes gamblers at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, he tossed $100 chips around a hot craps table. When the marathon session ended around 2:30 a.m., the Arizona senator and his entourage emerged with thousands of dollars in winnings.

Are you willing to bet on this entrenched politician and his sketchy ties to the big money of Vegas? It sure feels like the odds are stacked against the people of this nation if McCain is elected!

Letter about Palin – Note from Anne Kilkenny about Sarah Palin

If you haven’t read this fascinating personal description of Sarah Palin by a Wasilla, Alaska resident, you should. I think it reveals much more about this McCain’s running mate than any of the interviews or press has. Here is an excerpt…

During her mayoral administration most of the actual work of running this small city was turned over to an administrator. She had been pushed to hire this administrator by party power-brokers after she had gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had given rise to a recall campaign. Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a “fiscal conservative”. During her 6 years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over 33%. During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the City increased by 38%. This was during a period of low inflation (1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they benefited residents.

t r u t h o u t | A Palin Theocracy

I still reel with the lack of understanding in America. The Republicans are successfully fleecing the citizens of this ignorant, and apparantely drunk nation.

Palin is a radical, right-wing, fundamentalist Christian who would love to create a theocracy. She believes we are living in the “end times” which will result in a bloody inferno from which only true Christians will be saved. Palin recently attended a service in her Wasilla Bible Church run by David Brickner, who runs Jews for Jesus, a group the Anti-Defamation League criticizes for its “aggressive and deceptive” proselytizing of Jews. Those who don’t accept Jesus as their savior will burn in Hell, according to Palin’s brand of theology.

These fucking religious zealots should be exposed and ridiculed back into the dark, dingy holes they crawled out of. They deserve no role in this nation of freedom.
