The Vice Presidential debate was last night. I get so frustrated by Sarah Palin describing the majority of the middle class people of America as "Joe Six-Pack". It brings up images of red-necks in trailers ala the Simpson's Cledus the Slack-jawed yokel. It's not america. I wish they, both friggin parties, would stop using the terms "soccer moms" and "Discussions around the family dinner table". In my opinion 9 time out of 10 that doesn't happen anymore in the "middle class"(someone please officially define this) household of America. I don't know why they pretend like America is just one Brady Bunch episode, that definitely isn't the case anymore. Get real politicians, America is and probably never was like that. I know many many families that are working way too damn hard to support their families to have time to go to their kids soccer games or eat around the dinner table cause Mom and Dad or both are working the night shift. Face facts and reality, we are in a depression, fighting a war that we lost before we began, and 5% of the extreme wealth in the world owns, runs us and frankly has us by the balls. If we want to make analogies to the times we live in lets use Medieval not fucking 1952.
My absolute favorite part of the debate was when Palin started on her soccer mom shit and Biden hit her back with [Paraphrase] "I resent that because I am a man I do not know what it is like to raise a family, I know what it is like to be a single Father." That shut her up, I was so proud of him for representing the Daddy's that get shit done in this world. I'm not panning the mom's of this world I'm just saying that Palin is out of touch with just about everything that feminism stands for and about being a female in these times, I'm not gonna vote for her John just because she has a Vagina and has used it! You tried to create a cheap knock off of Hiliary Clinton and every smart girl knows that knock off fall apart about a week after you buy them, don't fool yourself.

I agree, except that after the first week or so, I began to realize that he didn't choose her so much to pander to women (that was a bonus) but to the religious right and all the ignorant jackholes out there who voted for Bush because they could relate to him. And they ask on the news whether Obama is "too intellectual?" They said the same thing about Kerry four years ago, and meanwhile Bush, the "education president" is systematically dumbing down our country so that people won't demand anything better. That being said, email me - there's professional shit to discuss that should probably not be made public.
