She's batshit insane, and McCain is a 72 year old cancer patient. She's not all that far from running for president.

when McCain croaks, she'll become president and issue executive orders that will
a) force creationism to be taught in schools (she'll cite the 1st amendment w/ twisted logic)
b) overthrow Roe v. Wade
c) allow Alaska to secede from the Union
d) end federal funding of public schools

ok maybe thats fear-mongering, but the Republicans have been doing that successfully for the last few decades, so why can't we join in on the fun?

Fear Mongering or not, those first two are definitely true. I hope that people with common sense use it, and the people who don't judge her personally for having a pregnant 17 year old daughter and vote accordingly.

and on top of that, not only does she want to overturn Roe v. Wade but she wants to force raped women to give birth to their rapist's child:

"force creationism to be taught in schools"

Probably not, because education is left at the state level and not the executive.

If he were to get two terms and live the whole time, he'd be 80 the day he left office. And he's had several bouts with cancer. I wouldn't bet the house, but probably a few weeks of pay.

i just can't believe that mccain had only one face to face meeting with this woman. now her unwed daughter is prego and she's under investigation for misuse of power. what a charm.

I hope the Enquirer story about her affair turns out to be true.

How it supposedly went down:
- She has an affair with one of her husband's business associates.
- Her husband breaks ties with that associate.
- The business associate gets divorce from his wife.
- Palin get VP nod.
- Enquirer looks for info on the affair.
- The business associate files a motion to seal all documents associated with his divorce.

What do you think was in there? We should find out because the motion was denied.

Report  
fallingupwards84 (September 6, 2008)

i know you're a joke account, but any other Republicans who are scared of Palin need to recognize that there is a very likely chance that she could be propped up into the presidency due to McCain's age... so if you vote for McCain/Palin you need to consider that

Despite her fucked up personal life (prego daughter, alleged affair), he association with the Alaskan Independence Party, corruption investigation, association with the “bridge to nowhere”, along with her support for creationism, her anti-abortion stance, the way she simply dismisses the hard work of thousands of community organizers, and the fucking fact that she has publically stated that she doesn’t know what the fuck the VP actually does, should disqualify her from running.

Holy fuck, i hate this women.

The whole affair ordeal and prego daughter situations don't really bother me, seeing as I still liked and supported Bill Clinton despite his whole affair. However, everything else about her pisses me off, and I think the woman is a fucking nutjob. If her and McCain win, our country is straight up Cheney's ass.

an Alaskan waitress claims she overheard Palin in a restaurant saying to friends that "Sambo beat the bitch" after Obama won the nomination... others in Alaska are confirming that she regularly utters racial slurs (such as calling the Native Americans in Alaska "Arctic Arabs")

I believe it. Although, one source in that article said "... Because everyone who isn’t aboriginal or Indian in Alaska talks that way.” That's a fallacy because not EVERYONE is like that i'm sure. I've seen Out Cold.

CNN reported that Obama received $10M in donations in the immediate 24 hours after her speech.

Count me in!

*early. Not already.

Seconded. SFAFC depresses me like hell and NW has its moments, but fails overall.

I like them all, but Eternal Cowboy is easily my favorite as well. SFAFC just some great songs, just a little too much filler for me. I just don't like how they only play half of that album at best (I don't mean that they play half of it in a set, I mean that there are only about half the songs on that album that they EVER play live). They always play Problems and Don't Lose Touch, which are two of my least favorites. Does anybody know where I can get the alternate versions of some of the songs off SFAFC (Joy, Holy Shit, How Low, etc.)?

Cowboy > Acoustic EP > Crime > Axl = SFAFC > New Wave

You may come to hate me for this, but i actually consider that to be their worst album (although it's still pretty damn good). Searching For A Former Clarity is their best, imo.
