I have said a few times on this blog that I am by nature a Conservative, (Republican) not a Liberal, (Democrat) but I might have to re-phrase that to mean Canadian Conservative because during the last half a dozen years I have lost almost all faith in the GOP down there in the good ‘ol U.S. of A.

From the war crimes of “Dubya” to the insanity of Cheney, to the idiocy of that fat guy..., Oh yea, Rusty Limburger, we have seen the implosion of democracy and common sense in American Politics!

Now to top it all off Sarah Palin is still considered the shinning star of the righteous right in spite of a track record that would send any business executive out the door with no golden parachute at all.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like Sarah Palin, (Only because she is hot!) but here is a woman who espouses family values while her daughter has a child out of wedlock...!

(I’m not even against unmarried women having kids, it’s just that the “holier than thou” Republicans always looked down on anyone who behaved that way!)

Here is a woman who this week in in Evansville, Indiana drew approximately 3,000 people to the Vanderburgh County Right to Life fundraising dinner an annual banquet that typically attracts some of the GOP’s top national talent.

This is also a woman who would reverse Obama’s legislation regarding stem cell research no matter how much she pisses off Michael J. Fox.

And here is a woman, who back home, had her controversial nominee for state attorney general, Wayne Ross, rejected Thursday in a 35-23 vote by the Republican-controlled state legislature after a week of damaging confirmation hearings that revealed a string of past controversial comments.

(Ross came under fire for his past defense of a Ku Klux Klan statue and a 1991 quote that said: “If a guy can’t rape his wife… who’s he gonna rape?”)

Palin said in a statement that she was “surprised” by Ross’s rejection. “Mr. Ross is a fine Alaskan,” she said. “He is held in high esteem by many Alaskans. I appreciate his willingness to serve the public.”

I could go on and on but I think you get the idea.

So kids, if the Republicans keep this up, things won’t be looking too sweet for them in 2012 either!
