At a rally in Sandusky, Ohio yesterday, John McCain referred to Sam Wurzelbacher as “…the voice of America.”
This, Senator McCain, is where I draw the proverbial line and you, sir, are in grave danger of permanently losing what little respect for you that I have left. You can refer to this ill-informed attention whore as your “…role model,” if you so choose, though I think it serves as further evidence of your horrific decision-making skills. He is absolutely not the voice of the America in which I live, and I know this because nobody I know and respect would ever consider letting this guy speak on their behalf. Couple that with reassurances I have received from those around me that I am indeed currently living in America, and I’ve got a pretty solid argument.
Perhaps, though, you meant that he is the voice of Governor Palin’s America, you know, real America. I imagine that being a place where spending tax revenue on social programs is the only criterion needed to brand an entire government as a socialist regime. I envision it as a place where an assumed deity directs both foreign and domestic policy utilizing the White House as a medium (insert obvious comparison to Catholicism here, just to scare “The Republican Base” with festive, Halloween fun). I think of it as a place where the health of females is an appropriate punch line of a deriding comment made by the Presidential candidate. I picture it as a place where the brightest people are prevented from assuming positions of leadership in favor of electing the borderline-illiterate.
So you know what, Senator McCain? If there are in fact two Americas, and one of them is Palin’s Real America, and Joe “The [Fake] Plumber” Wurzelbacher is the man tapped to become spokesperson for that society, then I suppose I’m fine with it because I don’t live there anyway, nor would I want to.
