Actually, I was referring to Palin voters as delusional. She is what's going to sweep McCain into office. Dumbass delusional Americans love her mythos of small town anybody becoming president. They like people as stupid as they are in the White House (witness the current idiot president who can't even coherenly speak English). More overwhelmingly, they fall in love with the myth that we are living in a different century, because that's how they wish the country still was.
Palin said in her acceptance speech, "We grow good people in our small towns. I grew up with those people. They're the ones who do some of the hardest work in America, who grow our food and run our factories and fight our wars."
But it's simply not true. We haven't been a country of small towns for nearly a century. It's the suburbanites and city folk who do all the fighting and hourly wage work now, and the corporations who grow our food.
I don't necessarily think you personally are delusional, scaeagles, but this is the same small town values myth that swept your hero Reagan into office. Americans hate the way their country is ... but instead of voting to change it, they vote in line with Wishing It Away.
As a group, my fellow Americans make me ill.
As for McCain: What exactly is he going to change? He says he'll continue the Bush policies in nearly every area. Americans overwhelmingly say the country is on the wrong track. Yet they will vote for him for president ... and most of them, it seems, will be doing so in the hopes that he will die soon and leave Ms. Nobody at the helm of our government.
I'm going to puke.
