Palin
Excellent choice.
My real problem with Manchurian Candidate McCain is his aggressive delicacy, his need to impose his own prissy feelings on the rest of us. Given the choice of sacrificing every American life versus annoying a terrorist, he'll sacrifice us. Given the choice of selling us to Arabia versus sullying the precious "fragile" landscape of the Arctic, he'll sell us to Arabia. These choices are not just unmanly but suicidal.
Palin is not prissy. She has shown repeatedly that she will git 'er done.
And she has some serious Hair. Superficial, yeah, but a bit more. Showing some Hair is a tacit rebellion against the flat straight center-parted nun style that was imposed on American women in 1970. It's a little flash of defiance against the delightfully deceased Comrade Betty Fried[m]an.
Could I now vote for the R ticket? Only if MC McCain swears in advance that he will immediately switch places with Palin after taking the oath of office. We can't afford even one day of rule by this prissy-ass Communist.
= = = = =
Prediction: Watch for Palin to be described over and over as "scary". Leninists are required, in an unbreakable Pavlovian way, to describe a woman who looks like a woman as "scary".
Woman looks like man? That's default, normal, doesn't need a word.
Man looks like woman? "Enlightened" or "Outrageously transgressive", which is high praise.
Woman looks like woman? "Scary."
