mccain and palin, this time

[slumber]

Just in case you all thought my political posts were biased-- so I found out John McCain picked a woman to run as his vice president. (She is a woman who, according to ccharlotte, wants to take polar bears out of the endangered list so that we can drill for oil in their habitats. :|)

In marketing we talk about how people/companies/brands send out messages based on what they do. Instinctively, this is the message I got from McCain:

"O HAI AMERICA. I guess I don't look like I'll be changing anything in this country compared to Obama over there, but HERE ya go-- white female veep, so in case I croak in the next four years (and I probably will)-- you guys will STILL have your first non-white-male president!

"PS. I can has votes nao?"

Sorry for the spam today. :|

normally I hate talking politics these days, but I'm really adamant about this - if I were a Hillary supporter who was considering voting McCain before, I would be unbelievably offended by the ridiculousness of choosing Palin. "Oh hey guys, I know the one with the vagina didn't win the nomination, so here! Look! Replacement vagina! Woo! All women politicians are pretty much the same amirite?"

EXACTLY. Replacement vagina. It's like-- the move is so CLEARLY based on trying to get some votes based on the fact that he chose a woman to run with him.

I like polar bears, kthnx.

Anywho, I randomly linked you to some of Obama's speeches like .34545 seconds ago, and I decided to check out your LJ for good measure. We have a bit in common (save the unfortunate preference of Grffyindor vs. Slytherin, and the fact that I'm a total freak, but I think we can make it anyway), so I thought it might be a good idea to friend you. So I did.

Hope that's okay. :D

Yep, I remember you! :D

Oh, dear, tragically the House thing cannot be overlooked. Well. Maybe. :| (Of course it can, haha, welcome to the flist! *friends back*)
