No. I did not just fucking read this.
Yeah. I get it. People are worried about Sarah Palin becoming President, yes yes. I feel it.
But the thing is, I'm not voting for John McCain. There was never any doubt in my mind of that, and I doubt that any of the people on the liberal blogosphere who are clamoring to see John McCain's medical records experienced any kind of indecision, either. Because John McCain's health problems will not make him a bad president. John McCain's sheer desperation to be president - a desperation that leaves him in the thrall of the GOP and their wingnut wackjob leaders - will make him a bad president. John McCain's shameful lack of knowledge regarding anything except POW BITCHEZZZ will make him a bad president.
The leftwingosphere-whathaveyou knows this. And the demand to see John McCain's medical records is creepy. Not to mention ageist and ableist. Ageism and ableism? Kind of go along with all the other -isms I can think of. Including sexism and racism. Liberals don't get to go after conservative politicians because of this kind of thing, any more than conservatives get to go after Hillary Clinton for being a woman or Barack Obama for being black.
Seriously, John McCain doesn't do enough for which he can be attacked fairly?

And did we mention RON PAUL?
You'd think Ron Paul was the hero of my fucking generation. At least with college-age dudes who:
And all of his supporters are dudes.
Via Shakesville.
Well, maybe not. But in the video, James Kotecki of Politico.com finds the lone woman in an entire group of perhaps fifty Ron Paul supporters (who are strongly reminiscent of sports fans, really, repeating Paul's name, and only Paul's name, over and over again. That's very persuasive/manly, boys! Keep it up!). "It's just kind of a message that [women] don't really resonate with, I don't know, I'm not sure why," she says in response to being the only woman present.
Maybe it's got something to do with Paul's self-proclaimed status as "an unshakable foe of abortion". Or perhaps women give a shit about things like federal assistance for lower-income families and affordable health care. You know, issues that affect women, but not, typically, white college-aged men who are stuffed to the brim with privilege. Duh.
His supporters remind me a lot of Paul himself, what with all of the yelling. Paul doesn't yell, of course, but I notice that he's near-hysterical about taxes, the mere existence of any kind of U.S. foreign policy at all, and is terrified of the federal regulation of anything.

- beat off while reading Maddox's "Greatest Page in the Universe".
