I just got finished watching the US Vice Presidential Debate and I'm disappointed. I'm angry that Joe Biden didn't make Palin look like the idiot she truly is--there were so many opportunities where he could have simply buried her. How many times can a person honestly repeat themselves? She is an embarrassment. How many times can she use the state of Alaska as an example? There are 50 other states with much larger populations and vastly different needs and problems--how is the state of Alaska the answer to every question pertaining to a nation of 50 other states? When did "hockey moms" become the priority voting group in the United States? When the did hockey become the most popular sport in the United States? Every buzz word that she used; every attempt at Neurolinguistic programming made me nauseous with the reality that there are people out there who would actually believe her. People who would actually think she was making good points. It made me cringe with anger as she stood up there regurgitating the ideology of white, male, neo-con, capitalists who have been in charge for centuries, making desperate attempts to de-educate, oppress, and discriminate against humans they consider of lesser value.
Is she a "maverick"? I laugh: No...she's a disaster.
I'm looking forward to Saturday Night in hopes that Tina Fey (a true modern feminist) will, once again, show the stupidity and naivety of a women who is doing nothing short of shattering the work of our mothers and grandmothers who fought for the many rights we take advantage of today--rights that Palin herself took advantage of as she stood smugly and ignorantly, smiling and WINKING on that podium tonight. It will be interesting to see what happens to her when she's through selling her soul.
If you're reading this, if you're a woman or a girl, if you're a man or a boy who believes in equality and human rights--make sure that you get out there and make your voice heard. It's more than just getting out and voting. Start paying attention.... really START PAYING ATTENTION.
This is not the time to be focused on your iLife, while listening to your iPod and watching The Hills--our future is on the line here. We--the little people, the poor, the "middle class"--WE outnumber the ones in power, yet we continue to take their abuse.
Start paying attention and be ready because the revolution will not be televised.
