Oh wait...you can't!

Because you're a freakin' brain-dead, talking-point spewing, beauty pageant runner-up has-been who hasn't the first clue in how to govern this great nation of ours. Get the fuck out of politics, you stupid fucking pig!! Tammy Faye gobs of lipstick won't help your sorry ass.

Check this video from CBS that shows the difference between intelligence (Sen. Biden) and a complete fucking moron (Palinsane).

ARGH!!! It pisses me off that so many people just shut their brains down when it comes to deciding on who's best to govern this nation and protect its Constitution. "Oh, Sarah is such a down-to-earth person. She could be my neighbor. I identify so much with her. She's not an educated member of the elite. yadda yadda yadda"

Wake the fuck up, people! We NEED people governing this nation who ARE educated! Who HAVE experience! You don't want someone with their finger on the button who you would treat as a next-door neighbor you'd have a beer with. I have lots of neighbors and friends I'd love to have a beer with but I don't want them in the White House!

Look at what 8 years of a drinking buddy has gotten us:

* Every stock market index is BELOW the point it was when Bush took office (well, for all intents and purposes the DJIA is there...the rest are well under).

* The national debt has doubled.

* Oil prices have quadrupled in price.

* Gas prices have tripled in price.

* Unemployment is near double digits (not the modified % they publish now...check out John William's Shadow Stats for the reasons why unemployment is much higher than reported)

* Inflation is now about 12% per year (again, check out Shadow Stats)

* American's economic power is all but gone. Destroyed by a 2nd attempt at Reagan's beloved trickle down economics. Guess what, people? The rich will hold onto their money and so will the corporations. The only thing that trickles down is shit and piss and that's been poured all over millions of Americans for the last 8 years.

* We've been stuck in Iraq for months longer than it took us to fight and win WWII (on TWO fronts) and we're no closer to a political "victory" there than on the day Saddam was captured nearly 5 years ago.

* Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri are still free men, more than 7 years after 9/11

I could go on and on and on.

As soon as the voting public wakes up and realizes that the Republican Party (and some in the Democratic Party...esp. the DLC dandies) put the wealthy and corporations above all else, then this country will continue its slide toward corrupted capitalism and its eventual downfall.

Prosperity and strength come from a solid foundation: a healthy and educated citizenry.
