Republican Subterfuge [was Whilst]

Sun Jul 18 01:58:13 UTC 2010

Sarah Palin is not going to be the next president. Sarah Palin knows she
will not be the next president. Sarah Palin does not WANT to be the next
president. Sarah Palin resigned her one position of political power, the
governorship, so she could make millions of dollars on the
celebrity-lecture-book-TV circuit. Sarah Palin wants to be to be Rush
Limbaugh. That's all. (If I am wrong, then the entire planet is in for some
major - as they say in the disaster movies - elimination-level shit. But,
sleep tight: ain't gonna happen.)

Well, doesn't an implication that a candidate or product is associated w/
the (American) West (North or South) bring certain advantages?  Doesn't it
suggest self-reliance, ruggedness, courage, frontier spirit, individualism,
indpendence, straight talkin' and straight shootin'?
Look at current and recent car model names "Toyota Tacoma", "Chevy
Silverado", "Chevy Scottsdale", "Cadillac Cimmaron", Chevy "El Camino", Ford
"Ranchero".  I'm betting there have not been (granting the only exception
that I can think of Chrysler "New Yorker'...sophisticated, elegant) many car
model names suggesting the eastern US...sleazy, jaded, tired, deceitful.

Given how popular Ms. P is now, I have to say the "you betcha"s, and other
vocal mannerisms are responsible for reeling in the GOP voters. I  wonder if
she talks that way at home.  I'd ask Levi (if I could) but he's already said
he lied about all the other stuff.
