thinking about Sarah Palin

The tantalizing expose in this month’s Vanity Fair provides a glimpse into the middle class home life of Sarah Palin. Levi Johnson’s exclusive interview describes Palin’s domestic situation as one familiar to many Americans. Palin existing day to day in a somewhat loveless marriage of convenience to Todd. The portrait of an exhausted Mom returning home from the Governor’s office to ignore her children while watching television in her sweats. Her husband ignores her while he fiddles with gadgets in the garage. Suddenly John McCain Googles her and throws a Hail Mary pass tapping Palin as his running mate. Either McCain has gone cynical and wants to counter a black guy with a woman, or his horny Episcopalian urges have returned and he and Cindy want to tap that ass in a Scottsdale swingfest. Sarah Palin is taken from her mundane existence as an up and coming Governor of a remote state and elevated into the glare of national politics.

Palin is singularly the most intriguing potential saviour of the GOP both admired and hated for her ability to connect with NASCAR dads and Soccer Moms. With the GOP in tatters, playing defense as the party of no real brand identity, it’s time for the conservative intelligentsia to reevaluate their hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Her Vice Presidential candidacy will live on in the annals of folklore and American Electoral politics. Sarah Palin is a sexual story.

Sarah Palin’s candidacy perpetuates the myth that anyone can be a heart beat away from the Presidency or even be the President. A half African guy from Hawaii who chilled in Indonesia or a Soccer Mom from Alaska? The ultimate antidote to the WASP establishment that produced George W Bush. What is the anthropological meaning of Sarah Palin?

Palin’s candidacy opens up more disturbing questions than it does answers. Are the global elite reckless enough to put America’s fate into that hands of a woman from Wasilla, Alaska who hangs out with Black Helicopter Steve?

Are presidential candidates put under powerful psychotic drugs that make their dispositions irrelevant?

Is there truly no global elite, are we really at the whim of fate? Could Sarah Palin really have been one heartbeat away from the office of President and would this have been a bad thing?

Democratic pundits have pointed out Levi’s less than flattering portrayal of a power mad, money- hungry Sarah entering the world of electoral politics as the final nail in the coffin.

I admit it’s more likely that Palin will end up as Dan Quayle, with a prettier face, than an elder stateswoman. Whether or not she can resurrect herself from political Armageddon depends upon her drive, tenacity, and brand management.

Levi’s protrayal is through the prism of his own unambitious middle class scarcity. Levi see’s Palin as a manipulative social climber, disillusioned with the job of Governor of Alaska and seeking a fat paycheck as a political commentator. This isn’t particularly damning, continuing on as Governor of Alaska isn’t something many rational people would want to do when given the opportunity to make millions of dollars presents itself and you have 5 kids. Only time will tell if Palin can use her Twitter page to return to center stage. The questions about her candiacy continue…

Does the President of the United States have any power or is the Government run by a Shadow Government that feeds the President limited information and allows them to make remedial “decisions”

Would the elite trust a non vetted Soccer Mom from Wasilia Alaska to maintain America’s place in the world order ?

Was John McCain throwing the election the entire time? That sure didn’t look like the typical Republican conventions that we remember?

If McCain had died in office would Palin have become President and would Henry Kissinger been able to push his agenda?

Does the President have any power, or are they fed a steady stream of information and psychoactive drugs that make them appear to have early onset Alzheimers?(see George W Bush, Ronald Reagan)

The results are in…

I never thought that I would be happy to see Hillary win anything. But, I will take anything over Obama. Episcopalian John McCain made at least a temporary comeback tonight, we’ll see how long it lasts. Perhaps 100 to 1000 years…

Zogby: Hillary Defeatable by 5 GOP Frontrunners All five of the leading Republican presidential candidates — including John McCain — would beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head match-up…

Will the DNC let Hillary dominate the primaries with poll results like these?

the future has been sold: Republican Presdiential Debate CNBC

Like many in the leisure class, I kicked back after masturbating to
some girl girl porn in my posh hotel suite and watched the
Republican debate on CNBC last week. The debate was a bullish
Internationalist economic bonanza. I was intrigued by the prospect of
Fred Thompson being added to the mix. Fred Thompson
certainly didn’t bring his A game, he didn’t completely fall on his
face. He is already receiving the interest of influential, indie,
Mossad backed Social Conservatives like Michael Savage. He also has the
backing of Pax American Zionist websites such as Newsmax. In the
end, I think a Fred Thompson candidacy is a non-starter, but if he can
build momentum coming out of South Carolina, there is hope.

Many pundits thought this was a critically flawed and talentless
cast of GOP candidates. We have the GOP running in the large
shadow of the Bush administration and Democrats rumored to have
the strongest field of potential candidates. However, the Republicans
brought forth four semi-electable candidates and a few entertaining fringe
candidates.

Hardcore moralists, Evangelicals and Social Conservatives
may not truly have anyone to rally around, but then again I’m a
pornographer and this is a good thing. Does anyone truly believe
that anyone with the last name Bush is a true Social Conservative?
From one Rockefeller Republican to another… It’s all an
Internationalist marketing illusion.

If you watched anything aside from Britney’s VMA performance at the
MTV music awards you would know that It’s definitely the year of the
mash up. If you had told me in 1996 that the two front runners for
the GOP nomination in 2008 were a Mormon from Massachusetts and a
Catholic from New York City, I would have thought you had been reading too much Ayn Rand.

Well, I would have been 16 and I probably wouldn’t have
cared, but you get the point. Sleeper cell John McCain channeled
his Episcopalian lineage and appeared very calm, confident and
establishment. Hopeless candidates Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee added
to the mix but the real stars were the GOP’s great
Northeastern hope’s Romney and Giuliani.

Mitt Romney often appears like a robot created to run the Government
in a Michael Bay movie. His answers are smooth confident, and he
shows a great command of policy. His wife is amazingly hot, and he
has beautiful children. He is the dream team, except for the fact
that he is Mormon. He did seem a bit bureaucratic when asked by Jimmy
Carter-sympathiser Chris Matthews if he would act militarily without
authorization of congress and he quipped that he would have to gather
around his team of attorneys. This was perhaps his low point in an
otherwise strong debate showing. Oh yeah, and he has only been pro-
life for a few years…

Rudy Giuliani is miraculously the GOP front runner, and in my
opinion the party’s best hope at capturing the Presidency in 2008. I
think he could potentially put Florida, Ohio, New Jersey, Michigan,
and potentially California into the GOP column. Rudy is a manic and
extreme personality and I think he will either sink or swim. If he
secures the nomination, I think he defeats Hillary Clinton. I’ve been
waiting for him to implode like Howard Dean and he continues to show
poise and composure debate after debate. Although, I credit Rudy’s
work in New York with the exception of his treatment of the Firefighters
union and censorship of art projects. The Neo Conservatives have swarmed
around Giuliani and I fear his micromanaging skills, if led in the wrong direction,
could lead to international disaster. Will it hurt Giuliani that no
one is going to vote for him in the early primaries unless there is a
terrorist attack between now and January?

John McCain seems most comfortable playing the underdog role.
Conservatives are sick of McCain’s Bi-Partisan posturing, but the media
still loves this guy. McCain seems best positioned to come
from nowhere, ala John Kerry, and march to the nomination as the
establishment sleeper sell. His ambitious new medical care program is
also gaining positive points outside the beltway and with the private
sector. No one should ever count an Episcopalian out.

Fred Thompson is a hard one to read. He’s not very attractive on
stage and he speaks in a monotone voice that channels a dreary made
for television film from the 70’s. Some conservatives like this guy, but
I imagine in the general election Hillary could put him into a box like
California GOP candidates Bill Simon or Dan Lundgren.

Despite our internationalist economic bias, we all know that Ron Paul
is the closest to the current truth. This guy always has colorful one liners
that the media is quick to dismiss. He appears to be the only true advocate
of a strong dollar. In our heart we know he is probably the
closest we will see to a classic conservative we’ll see on the “national” stage for
quite awhile. In the end, we will not set aside our Neo Conservative
reallignments, and besides the guy looks kinda funny. Will Ron Paul
turn into the next Ross Perot?

Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee provided the afternoon’s most surreal quote when he exclaimed,
“America…this place rocks!”…

This is an undeniably exciting election. Stay tuned.

Abandon Ship… The End of John McCain?

popwhore — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 18:24:19 +0000

Leaving Episcopalians to ponder the prospect of a Mormon Presidential candidate, Arizona’s John McCain’s 2008 Presidential campaign appears to be in even more trouble. After a major staff realignment earlier in the week, a pair of key Republican strategists have resigned from John McCain’s campaign in Iowa. It could be the lack of buzz in his message or the somewhat bi-polar campaign message put forth so far…Word around Du Pont Circle is that the end is near, but as John Kerry taught us in the 2004 primaries, you should never count an expierenced establishment man out early….

In happier times, John McCain addresses a team of Google executives
