Moar politics

Okay, so everybody and his wife on my flist is linking to this already, but fuck it, I'm linking to it too.

GO READ at [livejournal.com profile] copperwise:

Joe Six-Pack isn't who you think he/she is. You don't have a fucking clue about Joe Six-Pack.

Oh, and see that icon there? That's my party seven pwning your puny six-pack any day.

'Oh, and see that icon there? That's my party seven pwning your puny six-pack any day.'
Great icon choice. I read the article; personally I don't want a vice president who's 'folksy' (joe six-pack, indeed), I want one who knows how to do their job.

That's exactly what I've been saying. No, we better have someone bordering on genius intelligence in the white house. This is running the country we're talking about here, not construction or logging, for crissakes. Supremely high standards are a must for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. At least, that's what I think.

Sigh. Like Bush, Palin can't even pronounce "nuclear". Maybe that should be the first question on a required presidential exam...

That bugged me from the get-go from the little that I heard of the debate. (Biden wasn't much better, but he did give it the old college try.)

Exactly, that kind of thing may work in her home state (or those beauty pageants she used to enter), but I would hope that people would want someone bordering on genius intelligence in the White House.

'Like Bush, Palin can't even pronounce 'nuclear'. Maybe that should be the first question on a required presidential exam...'
It could be. It wouldn't surprise me.
