GOP

Okay. This is not a liberal blog.
I'm not a Republican.
I'm not a Democrat.
I'm not even a citizen of the United States of America.
So hear me out as i offer an opinion on the Grand Old Party.

Who is Sarah Palin?
She's a 44 year old mom of five.
Fine.
She's a pentecostal born-again Christian.Bible-believing.
Fine.
Strong social conservative, anti-abortion, for the death penalty.
Fine.

She'd rather kids be taught abstinence than safe-sex.
Wait a minute. No, that's alright. She believed in it, and naturally ensured that what she preached to her citizens, she preached to her children. Before you say kids are off-limits you must remember that I'm not Barack Obama and I'm not a Democrat. Very conveniently then, I'm going to take a pot-shot here.

Bristol Palin is a 17 year old who is five months pregnant; there's a chance that five months ago she was still 16. Irrelevant nonetheless.
Obviously she couldn't abort 4-5 months ago, in spite of the fact that her mom claims she had a 'choice'. So she decides to marry the father, Levi Johnston. As a side-note, one must note that Sarah Palin vehemently opposed funding for teen mothers.

Levi Johnston describes himself as 'a fuckin redneck'. He also claims/claimed, through MySpace that he'd kick anyone's ass that tried to mess with him or something like that. Irrelevant. He also stated that he didn't want kids. Hmmm...wonder when he stated that.

There's nothing wrong with Bristol Palin being pregnant. It's simply the fact that all these conservative values preached but not practiced don't make the GOP look very good.

By the way, this is what Sarah Palin thinks of the war in "Eye-rack".
"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."

WHAAAAAAAAT.

So those radical islamic terrorists kill in the name of God. Despicable.

US troops are sent out to war to "carry out God's plan????"
Where's the difference?

Furthermore, Palin's Church (Wasilla Assembly of God) has a pastor and his name is Ed Kahlins. Here's what he had to say about Iraq.
"What you see in Iraq, basically, is a manifestation of what's going on in this unseen world called the spirit world. ... We need to think like Jesus thinks. We are in a time and a season of war, and we need to think like that. We need to develop that instinct. We need to develop as believers the instinct that we are at war, and that war is contending for your faith. ... Jesus called us to die. You're worried about getting hurt? He's called us to die. Listen, you know we can't even follow him unless you are willing to give up your life. ... I believe that Jesus himself operated from that position of war mode."

SHIT! ARE YOU SERIOUS? (and to think Jeremiah Wright got all the attention)

I saw the DNC and the RNC and was appalled at the latter. Rudy Giuliani deserves to be censured. Of all the things, he chose to take a low blow aimed at Obama's community organizing?? Come on, that's cynical to the core.
There's a nice comment i found on the internet after Giuliani's speech. It reads,"yeah! damn hippies. i love it when rudy shows those punks how to practice real christian virtues and shows em the value of a good solid marriage. oh wait, shit... ooops"

By the way, Giuliani has three wives.

I think I'm going to stop now. I'm not an Obama fan. He's a brilliant orator but if he's elected, he's going to have to prove it. I know one thing though.

I don't think America is the same country it was. It's been heading in an unfavorable direction of late and there's no doubt about that. The way i see it, voters have two choices this election. Go with McCain but believe me, i don't think he's going to change shit.
Other option? Take a chance on Obama. So it might not work, but since when has the thought of failure ever dissuaded us from doing something?

The GOP should never change its name. Because that's exactly what it is.
The GRAND OLD Party.
