While "common sense" is being eclipsed by hypocricy.

Common sense has nothing to do with education or the lack of it. If I may blow off some steam, we have, in our America, more than we need of intellectual, well-educated fools on every side of the spectrum.Please, let's not in any way shape or form, get started in identifying ourselves with them, especially not when our national well-being is at stake.

We live in a world that would do very well without the  so-called "common sense" opinions of the likes of James Dobson-Focus on the Family, Pat Robertsons, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and the rest. These people can  take pride in the sense that they, as the many infamous of history, have been able to mesmerize large numbers of followers.

How clever of John McCain to ally himself with the religious-right by picking Sarah Palin, someone who can truly present their extreme beliefs in a sabre-piercing but home-spun, folksy style of delivery. It has been proven that these clever Republican politicians know how to win elections but can't rule, except for their own base.

I,  like most of you are part of the ninety-five percent of Americans who represent, the middle, working class people of our great nation. All of us are going to suffer under another Republican administration. Let's get the message out across the land to reveal these people who are the merchants of status-quo. If we don't we'll be left with another four years with commmon sense eclipsed by hypocricy.

Aren't you blown away by McCain's spin.  He has been talking in two completely opposite directions - presenting himself as a mavrick while simultaneously playing to the GOP base and rallying the party (again) behind the same dumb idealogy that they got in to last time.

He acts like cutting ear-mark spending is going to save the economy.  We should absolutely own him on this.


John McCain isn't evil. He's just wrong about a lot of things. Vote Obama!

Common Sense vs. Street Smarts (none / 0)

Where do you begin.  This is the dumbest fucking thing in the world to promote as a qualification.

Gov. Palin's utter lack of exposure to the world beyond her little neck of the woods should be a negative, not a good thing to aspire too.

Why is there this idea that common sense can only be found in undereducated, small-town folk?  I've met some pretty fucking stupid people in small towns.  Likewise in large cities.  Fact of the matter you can't swing a dead cat without hitting some stupid motherfucker no matter where you are.

She has demonstrated her lack of knowledge of elementary civics by not knowing what a VP does.  A lack of civility by making fun of someones chosen job (community organizer).  A fundamental lack of awareness of issues beyond her parochial, backwoods township.

But this is not to fault her.  It was and is her life to lead as she fit.

Its with the neocon faction within the GOP that is making a mockery of the election by foisting someone of such limited life experience upon us.  This is political malfeasance and mendacity of the highest sort for a cheap political trick.  Their craven lust for power is destroying the political process and threatens the very nature of what makes our country so awesome.

The rallying cry shouldn't be "Country First", but "Constitution First"!  That is what truly sets America apart.


I might be crazy... but are you seeing what I'm seeing?
