I May Puke

If I hear the word Maverick one more time I think I'll barf.

Whatever kind of maverick McCain may have been years ago was neutrered out of him after he lost to W in 2000. Now he just spouts the party line and shuffles along.

This Republican convention has amazed me in a couple of ways. First,  that the mean spiritedness not only continues (ok, I lied, that doesn't surprise me) but that they can do, act and say the things they do and then delude themselves into believing that the Democrats are the ones causing problems is just unbelievable.

What is also amazing is that McCain and Palin are railing about how they want to change Washington. Do they believe (and are they correct) that the American people are stupid enough to forget that the Repugs have been in charge for the disastrous last 8 years?

I must admit that even their voices are getting on my nerves at this point. I kind of thought Palin was hot until I listened to her irritating nasaly voice for a while. Now John McCain kind of has the same tone.

One last rant. I was watching the Repugs crybabying about how Palin was being treated, adn talking about how much experience she had wondering to myself if they forgot, again, that there  are such things as video cameras and taped footage. If you want a real kick watch the Jon Stewart episode from Wednesday night and watch how they say what is best for them even when it directly contradicts their position just a few month ago.
