Hello Everyone, For those of you who don't know me my name is Julian M. I produce and mix melodic techno/deep house/progressive house and I am also a current college student nice to meet you all and I hope you respond to this thread

I am neither a democrat nor republican, and my political philosophy could be summarily described as practical libertarianism which unlike Ron Paul's philosophy supports a woman's right to choose and a more gradual reduction in government spending and a gradual and safe transition to a non-interventionist foreign policy

As a practical libertarian I obviously don't really respect either major party's platform for "change" but when John McCain decided that he wanted to select sarah palin as his running mate I originally thought nothing of it

But with each growing day it is becoming more and more obvious that John McCain's health is a serious liability and what is also becoming more obvious is that Sarah Palin folksy charm- despite her utter incompetence and utter inability to lead a nation or be a likable figurehead in the world arena- still draws crowds everywhere she goes even without John McCain.... sometimes even drawing more people than Barack Obama and Joe Biden combined

HOW IN THE WORLD CAN SUCH A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF AMERICANS HAVE A FAVORABLE VIEW OF A WOMAN WHO IS NOT ONLY INCOMPETENT AND FRANKLY STUPID, BUT ALSO A WOMAN WHO EPITOMIZES EVERYTHING WOMEN SHOULD BE AGAINST (equal pay for an equal day's work, overturning roe v. wade and even preventing raped women or women who engage in incest from having abortions, might I mention her antiquated beliefs and the wasilla assembly of god?) STILL BE SO POPULAR AMONG AMERICA AT LARGE THAT JOHN MCCAIN ESSENTIALLY STILL HAS A CHANCE AT THE PRESIDENCY?

Despite what the favorability polls may show you what remains unrecognized is how easily swayed the American public is

(especially less-intelligent people who are easily swayed by fear-mongering, and frankly less-intelligent white working class women who go to church regularly who harbor either overt or subconscious prejudice against and resentment for Barack Obama, most of which probably subconsciously feel especially in these trying times betrayed by the fact that a half-black man from humble beginnings employed his intellectual brilliance to rise to worldwide stardom and to a presidency that is guaranteed (in their delusional minds) to make minorities have more power, which they resent considering they are losing their power due to the economic collapse which they were not judicious enough to prepare for)

Another important thing to note is that pollsters often miss key segments of the population when they do their surveys and usually there sampling size is not inclusive enough to accurately reflect day-to-day voter preferences much less predict whether or not on election day the people who vote that have doubts about black people and doubts about john mccain and sarah palin will subconsciously dupe themselves into buying the visceral folksy fairy-tales and colloquial language of the McCain fantasy of reform and pull the lever for McCain/Palin because they trust the white guy "war hero" and the gal who speaks in words they can understand (because face it many americans are not smart enough to understand the "big words" of obama and have grown to distrust people they do not understand

Imagine lets say all of the sudden there is another 9/11 type event in this country or an event where the manipulative news media covering non-existent or existent prospects of major tensions with other threatening countries a day or two before the election? then what happens? those stupid white bigots will vote essentially for sarah palin to become president!

This scenario worries me but it was easily avoidable, all john mccain had to do to avoid this nightmare situation was simply to select a somewhat fiscally responsible republican who is both intelligent and whose age is not a concern ( mitt romney perhaps? even tho he has hardly proven himself to be fiscally responsible)

RON PAUL would have been the right choice for the republican party nominee and if he would have been selected Obama would not stand a chance against someone with cross-party appeal a consistent voting record principled integrity who is both fiscally responsible, prescient and anti-war. In these times of government skepticism it makes me wonder whether if this crisis had happened about 8 months earlier Ron Paul would have been elected.

I am afraid for america's future and as ron paul so presciently warned before both the 1987 crash and the current crisis years in advance what would happen (did I mention he predicted that the iraq war would be waged without passing through congress in early 2002 and that it would continue to no avail and only compound the problems we currently face??? A FULL YEAR BEFORE WMDs were claimed to exist. Despite his rational arguments to end the wars we face, improve border security, eliminate taxes, end the failed war on drugs and let innocent non-violent drug offenders (like several of my friends who currently sit in jail for growing marijuana and peacefully smoking it for Personakl consumption) THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DID NOT HEAR THAT MESSAGE BECAUSE THE MEDIA DID NOT GIVE RON PAUL AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS HIS VIEWS.

OUTRAGE IS THE ONLY WORD THAT CROSSES MY MIND WHEN REFLECTING BACK ON THE SAD TRUTH OF THE VICTORIOUS MCPALIN EMPIRE AND HOW POORLY IT REFLECTS ON THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS A WHOLE


I AM SO OUTRAGED THAT EVEN AS SOMEONE WHO RECOGNIZES THAT MCCAIN AND OBAMA ARE BOTH SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER ON MANY POLICY ISSUES THAT I WOULD DARE CALL THEM BOTH REPUBLICRATS, THAT I WOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA/BIDEN (I am registered voter in the key swing state of colorado) TO AVERT THE DISASTER OF A PALIN PRESIDENCY
WHO HERE AGREES WITH ME?
do u think folksy charm is all that is required to lead this country in the most trying time in world history since world war II?

Please respond i want to know what you think about her popularity, and how badly that reflects on the stupidity of our country
WHAT A DISGRACE TO AMERICA THAT WOMAN IS!
MATT DAMON SAYS IT BEST


If you are a foreigner what do you think of this disgrace of a woman?
How do you view her folksy charm? Do you think it will improve foreign relations? Does it lower your opinion of the once great nation that thrived on liberty and prospered because of that liberty to see the neocons hijack elections time and time again?
I would like to know?

SORRY about the length of this post but this issue disturbs me greatly!
