Um, I think you want to fix your first sentence.

American politics is getting to be so bizarre. We hold referenda on human rights, and in more than half the country, human rights loses. A candidate for President associates with people who say rape is god's will, and he's practically tied with the anti-rape candidate. The small-government party think government should regulate who can have sex with whom and declares that your own body is government property-and then calls their opposition authoritarian because it wants cheaper healthcare.

What kind of country is this?

You know what I find amusing, it's when some blogger is still pumping a meme from like a week ago. Like I keep getting these clever graphics on Facebook about the "47% percent". These really -- ha, that gets 'em kind of thing. But man even horses and bayonets is about as tangy as a 3 hr. old latte.

It's like the people who are somewhere one level or two up from the ground really buy into these things as if it were real, instead of a kind of dance that changes daily...rather, minute by minute.

McCain walks the party line like a good soldier and probably would have made a mediocre president, but I have a certain amount of respect for him. And it's not just what he's been through in Vietnam and his determination to forge a career afterward, but also the fact that he has a shred of human decency in him. Hearing him talk in the political shows, like he did in that clip, sounds so quaintly idyllic compared to the soulless, corporatist conservatives that bray like party warriors out to help the team rather than serve the people.

Supreme Moron of the Universe: This is a person in a position of power holding half of the people he is supposed to represent in open contempt because of his book of fairy tales. This is not a meme. Memes have kitties or binders. That you do not know the difference between the two is why you are a fucking moron.

Take a read of the one and only article about it on FoxNews.com:

It's almost entirely about how his comments were misconstrued. Sorry, ya douche, but you said exactly what you meant and we know exactly what that was. Your God presents women with 'gifts' by holding them down and forcibly fucking them, and then giving them no choice but to carry their attacker's spawn inside them for 10 months. Check.

Puts that whole 'virgin birth' thing in a new light, doesn't it?

@ 1 is right - I think you got something switched around in your first sentence.

@1 and @7: As of this morning, looks like that line was unintentionally accurate, since McCain has now pulled back on his statement. (Claiming that he hadn't heard Mourdock's non-apology apology at the time, and that because of that non-apology apology there's no further need for an apology.)

Oh, and slammed Colin Powell for endorsing Obama.

The 2012 model McCain is looking like even more of a political whore than the 2008...and that takes some doing.

@8, okay then, I retract my suggested correction.
