Meme & Random Rant

[luna_k]

soul_warden, who doesn't even read this blog, tagged me to do a "Random Things About Me" meme, and I decided to do a political version of it.

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people.
4. No tag-backs.I'm not gonna tag anyone; if you wanna do the meme

Another thing to hate about Sarah Palin: when she was mayor, Wasilla charged rape victims for their own rape kits. He complained when the then-governor signed a law saying they couldn't.

P.S.

#8:
Me too. Seriously, that shit drove me crazy, I actually went to D.C. and protested in May of 2000. (You know, right about when Bush gave the Taliban $40 million dollars.)

8. I'm never going to get over Florida 2000. NEVER EVER NEVER, DO YOU HEAR ME?!? I don't care that Bush is almost out of office; he was never supposed to have been there in the first place. Gah.

THIS!!!

I also have a theory that since it was FL that fucked up the 2000 election, and we all know Jeb Bush was Gov. of that state in 2000, he fixed it so that his state would make it so that his brother gets into office. I've always believed that.

No need for any conspiracies, every independent recount done after 2000 showed Gore winning Florida. If Gore would have pushed harder and the Republican cronies in Florida and Washington hadn't done their dirty work in forcing it through as soon as possible, Gore would have become president.

But think about it this way...8 years of Gore and now we'd most likely be having to vote for President Lieberman.

Ow, ow ow, ow ow!

Ok, I confess you got me laughing about that one.

A friend of mine who has family down in Florida, said the po-lice were pulling over POC all over. They did it to her family. I think your theory has validity.

8. Oh. my. god. When Scalia said earlier this year that the left needed to get over it already - I started throwing things.

NEVER. I will NEVER get over it. When I think about what this country could have become with Al Gore as president...it just breaks my heart.

[cattyhunts]

Scalia is an asshat...plain and simple. I wish to god that it was legal for Justices to get removed from the bench cause IMO, he deserves to be.

[meahtsingan]

They can be removed, but at the Supreme Court level it requires a full-blown impeachment process.

Oh the hypocrisy is mind blowing. I dislike hypocrisy no matter who it is! Chelsea would be done. I don't think that makes you an anti-feminist: just because someone has two XX chromesomes, doesn't make her a feminist. Let me also add that Palin never met an animal she didn't want to shoot: I like guns. Serious. It is fun to shoot, and while I haven't hunted, I am in a hunters paradise. Let me tell you, most hunters that *I* know, do not approve of running wolves down in helicopters, and shooting them when they can't run anymore. Then, you cut the left forepaw off (is the wolf dead? I fucking hope so!) and bring it in to the conservation office for $150. bounty on it.

[thisficklemob]

Actually, somebody stepped in and stopped the bounties, on the grounds that she didn't have the authority to authorize the funds. That didn't stop the hunts, though.

[pitbullgirl65]

My bad. Good god though. I wish Jesus would come back and slap the stew out of these so called Christians. I thought Christians cared about the poor and helpless.

[thisficklemob]

Hey, it's still a valid complaint: that is what she tried to do.

And I have to say, if Chelsea Clinton had gotten pregnant at 17, the conservative media vultures would have fucking CRUCIFIED her, I'm not even exaggerating in the slightest.

I can't figure out what part of Palin's daughter being pregnant now is the worst part in my opinion, but this is one of those that are up there (along with hello, abstinence-only education supporters, did you at least make sure your daughter took a family planning class? no? and you're proud of her for not caring about your abstinence-only views? also, why is she a good reason that your youngest is really yours? did you really have to put your daughter in the spotlight like that?). It's almost enough to think the liberals have more morals than the conservatives. :P

Thanks for keeping me up-to-date with politics in the media!
