Why All The Candidates Suck
This is from an email I sent that got nailed by Comcast’s spam servers:
Have you not seen the feeding frenzy in the news that is Sarah Palin? OY! From calling her a bad mother for many reasons (flying while pregnant, running for VP with handicapped child, Trig is actually the daughter’s child, Bristol pregnant at 17, etc.) to claiming she’s had an extramarital affair (resulting in the downs syndrome child), supposed bikini and nude photos that were faked (Snopes - Not Safe For Work) and giving her crap after her speech when all but two of the news pundits covering the RNC complained that she used speech writers. Anderson Cooper, of all people, had to mention that no one complained about speech writers when Barack finished his speech.
Here’s a good letter about Palin on Snopes.
“Oh sure, you Republican, of course you’d defend her.” Nope, I’m a Libertarian, and Palin seems to be the typical politician, voting for the bridge to nowhere before voting against it. She also seems to know politics very well, as she’s getting a LOT of Fed money sent to Alaska. Hired the right lobbyists, I guess.
As for Barack, I’ll never vote for him, and the main reason is because of his 20 years at a black liberation church under the tutelage of Rev. Wright. If Obama can stand 20 years of that AND defend Wright’s racist and supremacist words by saying he’ll never leave the church because there’s more to Rev. Wright than what we’ve seen…? Hell no. Might as well call a despicable Klan member like David Duke a “uniter”.
Black and Latino racism (La Raza: The Race) is making itself more mainstream, and I won’t encourage any of it.
Then there’s McCain — the First Amendment Slayer — with his McCain-Feingold Act, and Biden who plagiarized a British politician for a speech, as well as a law review article when he was in law school (which helped kill his presidentail campaign back in 1988).
Seems I’m still voting Libertarian. At least there’s a philosophy behind that party.

Previous emails from others that led to the above:
Although I find his choice of Palin laughable from a substance standpoint, you can’t argue that he hit a 5-run home run with her. I think he figured, like the rest of us with an IQ over 75, that there was NO way he was going to beat Obama…..so he said, “Why the fuck not?” So far….it has worked for him. The question is, “What happens the FIRST time she misspeaks on the campaign trail? or worse……What happens when stories of her past (if there is anything) start making their way into the news.
As much as I don’t want to see McCain in there, I get VERY nervous when an underdog Republican enters the home stretch in a Presidential race. After Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry……who all had commanding leads…..blew it……who can blame me? This race is already tighter than one would have imagined given what the Republicans have done over the past 8 years. There is still a significant percentage of Americans who wouldn’t vote for a Black man if he was passing out free Lexuses. On the other side, there is a significant percentage of woman who will vote for a female….regardless of her platform and agenda….just to break that ice once and for all. Couple those 2 facts with the Republican party’s history for making the Democratic opponent look like a fool between the conventions and the election……and there’s plenty to worry about.
And, I received this mere minutes after the Obama acceptance speech…
John McCain should just give up now and save himself and everyone the trouble. Nobody’s stopping this guy!
