The Republican Party Needs A Sense Of Humor...and a Slap in the Face

In an earlier entry, I posted a link to the Saturday Night Live skit featuring an INCREDIBLE Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton. (This is probably the only positive thing I will ever say about Sarah Palin) She thought it was funny, laughed and even thought it was hysterical at how much the two resemble each other. This week, John and Cindy McCain are speaking out on the skit calling it sexist and a terrible portrayal of Palin while making Clinton look like a saint...Did the McCain's even watch? Seriously, it's a comedy show. It's supposed to be funny. Grow up, John McCain, you're 72 years old for God's sake.

As much as I hate Sarah Palin, I am ecstatic that John McCain did not pick Mitt Romney as his running mate. Out of all the initial candidates for the Presidency, Mitt Romney was the only candidate against every single gay topic they were discussing. How the man who was formally governor of Massachusetts, one of the most gay friendly states in the country was even elected in the first place. However, saying that, I think McCain's intentions in choosing Palin were completely unjustified, seeing as the two even disagree on some topics and I don't think he actually knew what he was getting into not only with her personal life, but also with some of her views that are suddenly being made public knowledge. Prior to Palin, did McCain ever bring up Creationism, War With Russia or the "Conversion" of Gays? No.

I could have lived with McCain as President had he picked someone like former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is basically a Democrat. But McCain/Palin, I cannot deal with. When McCain announced Palin as his running mate, it was a choice completely out of left field, no one expected him to choose her, no one even knew who she was. The more I find out about this woman, the more I am determined to keep them out of the White House. Do your part, VOTE in November!!
