My confusion grows...
So, BBC radio had former house majority leader Trent Lott (R) on tonight. He was talking about the convention, and said that Republicans have lost their way in the past bunch of years. The interviewer asked, "But...weren't you a part of that?" And he said, "Well, yes, but in the 90s, we did a lot of good things, like welfare reform, but since 9/11, we've become about things that we shouldn't have, like big government and such. That's why we shouldn't elect the Democrats, because they'll just compound the mistakes we've made." And she's like, "Uhhhh, so, you agree with John McCain's policies?" And he's like, "Well, not always. I disagree with him a lot." She's all, so you endorse a man who disagrees with your politics?" And he's like, "Well, that's what I like about John McCain, you can have a good argument with him." I turned it off at that point.
So, we should vote for the party that got us in this mess, even if we don't agree with their policies.
I have a theory about this election. They're giving us the absolute train-wreckiest ticket. Then, in November, McCain/Palin will win, despite all the crazy that's brewing over there. And the point will be, "We could have a hammer and a piece of string (R) running against Jesus Christ (D) himself, and we'd still win. So stop trying, we've got it in the bag. Democracy has been a joke from the start." OK, ok, I really don't believe that, but I'm kinda getting nervous.
Also, the other night I was reading the wikipedia entry about Palin, and it said (I copied it to send to a friend):
"Palin eloped with her high-school boyfriend, Todd Palin, on August 29, 1988, when she was 24 years old.[6] Their first son, Track, was born eight months after their wedding.[121]"
Five minutes later, I went to link a friend, and it said:
"Palin eloped with her high-school boyfriend, Todd Palin, on August 29, 1988, when she was 24 years old.[6] Their first son, Track, was born eight months after their wedding.[121]"
I guess it's not ok for us to know about all that pre-marital sex she and her daughters like to have.
And last, but not least, there were a few days last week, when I became convinced that Bobby Jindal was going to be the VP nominee. He's another unbelievable wingnut. When reading HIS wikipedia entry, I came across this little gem, under "Writings":
"Jindal’s pre-2001 writings include several articles in the New Oxford Review, one of which dealt with the subject of exorcism. In that 1994 article, Jindal described witnessing a friend seemingly being possessed by a demon. However, at the end of the article he questioned whether he actually witnessed spiritual warfare.[48]"
Form a line, kids. There's more than enough crazy to go around.
