Presidential Election 2008 Review

September 27, 2008: Our World Is Enlightening.

wamu- seized by govt, bought by jp morgan.

that was my bank. quite unsettling although i know everyone says its nothing to worry over.

what is this world heading towards?

really, i shudder to think!

mccain's attempt to POSTPONE + bail-out  of debate due to his supposed concern with economy.

 McCain Halts Campaign Due to Economy

barack obama vs john mccain debate.

watched it in full. amazed at the inability for mccain to speak without stuttering, shifting, floundering, and waffling with his words, and body movements. was not very convicing and rather pathetic. he also used a sympathy tactic to get voters in regard to veterans and men of military service. this rather turned me off and it was so obvious it was and is a tactic.

the more he brags of his military service and patriotic spirit- the more desperate and pathetic he looks. im tired of him bragging of this and his use of the word 'maverick' on himself when its nothing more than a big fucking joke. he also never makes his point clearly. his answers always vague- he stumbles, rambles, never directly answering questions,  wandering all over the place.

unlike mccain, obama had focused replies that answered what was asked and explained. mccain had answers without real solutions and as always was wishy washy in every sense of the word.

some of the stories he used and jokes ive heard so many times, that im tired of hearing it. no wonder he wanted to cancel, he is unable to come up with any new material. pathetic. had to hear the story of woman who gave military bracelet to him a year ago, AGAIN and also about  how he hasn't been "miss congeniality" and is firm/aggressive. but all i see is a very wishy washy contradictive floundering fish, who is not decisive at all and doesn't know what he is talking about half the time + has little interest in the welfare of the average american . patriotism and american pride, to me , SHOULD involve caring about your neighbor, helping less fortunate, banding together. a whole group of people united is stronger than one person standing. it's called love thy neighbor as yourself.

mccain often resorted to low cuts to obama. while obama was honorable, respectable towards him. he made himself look so bad by doing this. 

at one point, you could see mccain stewing, shifting uncomfortably and with humiliation because all the things obama said were said with calmness and strength. obama's strength is not reacting and not attacking no matter how spiteful the other opponent is. that is something to be admired.

mccain ended up looking mighty petty in my eyes and everyone else i know who's seen the debate, in my real life. obama was actually able to respond to mccain with honor and dignity and put him in his place without humiliation and low tactics of typical dirty politics.   

i was disappointed that mccain seemed to detract the whole debate with his inability to stay focused and directly answer questions and often found myself restless and frustrated that he was not getting to the point or answering the question adequately enough.

i wanted to hear about mccains' choice of palin for VP when she supported earmarks which he cut down obama for doing and said he strongly opposed and  voted against. what a fking hypocrite, he picked palin who obviously abused earmarks in the past and did it happily.

i won't go into how much of a joke i think palin is either just ive never seen a person [woman or man] so idiotic and moronic [ie katie couric's interview and charles gibson- palin: "i can see russia from my house/backyard?"]

you've got to be fucking kidding me!! this is who people want to run the US if the president dies. she is beyond stupid and airheadish and ignorant. she could actually be the equivalent of george bush now that i think about it who is about as smart as a donkey. ok, nuff said!    

honestly, i don't get how anyone can actually want to vote for someone so unbelievably wishy-washy + vague. mccain picked his match in brainsmarts. palin and him have the size of a 'pea' in their heads. no joke. 

i look forward to thursday's palin vs biden debate. i think he is going to annihilate her - our DVD-R is already set to record. i simply cannot wait!

'maverick' and 'nucular' - repeat after me. Friday, October 03, 2008

i lost track of how many times sarah palin used the word MAVERICK. we laughed everytime we heard it. i considered playing the drinking game where you take a drink everytime she said THAT tacky word. but then knew i'd be drunk and am not sure i should even drink since my stomach hasn't fully healed.  

in all honesty, watching and hearing her made me want to drink. but i didnt and i couldnt because i have still been sick. i havent recovered fully from the IBS related ER visit and my stomach is still crampy everyday and blocked. i don't really know what is wrong. i am still sick and it is now two wks later.

palin was beyond annoying- her attitude, the way she rudely cut off the moderator to say that she would choose whether or not she wanted to answer a question and provide answers to whatever she wanted to share. she seemed to take complete control of the floor and do as she liked. it was completely disrespectful. she came off as flippant,  defiant, snooty, and then would go off on tangents that lost me and had nothing to do with the question or topic at hand. 

i have never felt that she is qualified to stand in the position of vice president of the united states let alone run for government, but after tonite, it is even MORE abundantly clear that she does not belong in any higher government position. most especially vice president.

she continually made smart condescending sarcastic remarks, smirked, winked at the crowd, and cut down joe biden. her attempt at wit and humor was nothing more than an attempt to undermine her opponent and failed miserably. it was neither funny or effective.  you could feel that she was constantly trying her best to take small shots and upstage him during the debate.  

half of what she proclaimed about obama was completely UNTRUE. i never understand why these people who probably have assistants and advisors who can get them anything they need to prepare for these speeches/debates, i do not understand why the hell  palin doesn't do her research before stating a supposed fact that is obviously fictional + a lie.? hmm.

whatever the case, palin continued to show us how disconnected/out of touch she is with government policies and the average middle class american.  she definitely does NOT represent the average american OR the average middle class person. yet she seemed to insinuate that she was equal to middle class. i don't think so.

i am still unconvinced that this woman has any intelligence or brain as she comes across as nothing more than an airhead or someone with something severely lacking. i felt her act was a show- a show for the world - fake, planned, scripted, practiced, coached--- a show to pull in the dummies and manipulate the voters to be swayed towards the  palin/mccain ...oh i mean, mccain/palin ticket. sometimes i forget who's running as palin acts as though she is up for the president role rather than the VP. ha!

palin did mention she planned to change the role of VP and give herself more power if she were to get into office. How convenient for her. That is a very unsettling and disconcerting/scary thought. I sure as hell don't want a woman with such limited and close minded views running my life or heading our country!  not to mention she is completely a female version of bush, completely clueless. how can anyone running for a govt position as high as this, be so dumb? i don't get it!! 

she keeps using the concept  that i believe was obama's original campaign idea- he was using the 'change' motto, the entire 'change' theme way before Palin even entered the picture, way back in May. i know this because i watched debates in april and may with my fiance and because my fiance attended obama's rally which was filled with posters using the change theme [change we can believe in...etc] and that was this past spring. we didn't even know palin existed at that time. neither palin nor mccain have their own minds. that is why they are unable to come up with any thing original and have to steal others ideas.

she tackled the issue of climate control when asked if she believed in it by acknowledging it yet she refused to discuss the cause of it and was reluctant to attribute the problem as fully man-made. this points to the fact that she is not only ignorant but blind to the fact that in order to fix something one must tackle the origin and root of the problem. that's problem solving 101. and i find the whole notion of palin and mccain's suggested health care plan where each family gets a 5 thousand dollar credit towards health insurance to be ridiculous and unrealistic. does anyone realize how much doctors, hospitals, and medication cost these days? let's face it, this is nothing more than a gimmick to reel people in to vote for them. i guarantee you there are hidden fees and costs underneath it all that do not make it worthwhile and that would render the plan as useless for most.    

[i constantly think of and flash back to one of my favorite satirical comedies 'election' during all of this. tracy flick and all the quirky characters trying to get elected and trying to sabatoge their competitors.] 

sarah palin was beyond strange tonite during this widely anticipated and advertised debate ---in an Agitating - Grate on your NERVES- makes you want to SCREAM- kinda  way.
