She Said, “I’m Only Seventeen, But I’ll Show You Love Like You’ve Never Seen!”
Okay, since we’re almost inside of two months of the election, I hereby lift my self-imposed moratorium on all Election-Talk. Also, I realize that it’s gotten tres annoying to read about how in love I am. Yeah. Even I gross myself out.
I spent a good portion of last weekend with The King of the Dog Park, a staunch Republican. I asked him who he was voting for and he said, as if I had lost my mind, “Oh, McCain, of course.” I know. The King is gay and “Gay Republican” isn’t in your vocabulary either. I’m still trying to wrap my brain around it. Shrug.
I haven’t given the election much thought, mostly because in the back of my mind I lost interest once Giuliani dropped out. (How can you not embrace one who is fiscally conservative and socially liberal???) I’m totally impartial to both candidates. No, really, I am. See, everyone has an agenda. And everyone hides portions of their agenda until they get into office, so making a decision based on what these two say they believe in and stand for makes no difference because it always changes. When the Hostess and I passed a campaign table for Obama and I said something that amounted to my not really getting the whole Obama thing she said she was going to force me to sign my name. Okay Hitler, I mean, Hostess, it doesn’t quite work like that. You can’t really force someone to back a candidate, anymore than you can force them to vote…something I’m considering seriously.
One morning while driving to work, I actually thought about googling, “who should I vote for?” (I mean, people google damn near everything. People from the Ukraine have been led to my blog by searching for velvety anal sex, but whatever.) Luckily Holly, purveyor of all things dog, emailed me a link:
And I took the quiz. Liberals of D.C., please get your barf bags ready!
| John McCain |  |
42 | ||
| Barack Obama |  |
12 |
Your recommendation: John McCain
Party: Republican
Yikes. Really? That’s really a problem. I knew I wouldn’t come out as a Democrat because, I just knew I wouldn’t. I don’t believe in social welfare programs, I wouldn’t like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, and I don’t believe in social welfare programs. (But I do love John Lennon and I do believe if our world was like he portrayed in “Imagine,” then we’d be far better off.) I don’t believe in taking money away from moi and putting it into the hands of people who don’t work their asses off as hard as moi. That quiz result is sort of an onion in my ointment. I would have liked to see a 50/50 split, or something close to that.
Then McCain picks a nobody for his VP, which wouldn’t really matter because who cares about a VP unless your President dies. Which…McCain stands a very good chance of doing based on such insurance-industry-acknowledged-risk factors such as his age, Cheney’s hunting record and whether Cheney is actually in town that weekend.
So now, it seems that one VP appointee, Sarah-Whats-Her-Name, has a pregnant daughter. A seventeen year old, Jamie-Lynn-Spears-Style pregnant teenage daughter! I love me some white trash. Maw? Can y’all pass the collard greens?
And here’s the best part:
“Senator McCain’s view is this is a private family matter. As parents, (the Palins) love their daughter unconditionally and are going to support their daughter,” said McCain spokesman Steve Schmidt.
Really? So the fact that the teenage vixen is pregnant is a “private family matter” but, if she wanted to terminate that pregnancy it would suddenly become a “public government matter?” Call me crazy, but I think that might be, oh, mildly off the wall. I mean, I know there’s not much to do in Alaska besides fuck, but seriously? You couldn’t have squeezed a condom into that Igloo? What else do Alaskans have to do in their free time anyway besides wait for the sun to come back in six months? Get thee to a CVS and buy yourself condoms! They are next to the canned collard greens!
This makes me miss the Bush Daughters already and they’re not even gone yet. I always loved those fake-id wielding daughters especially when their press was exceptionally bad, only because they just seemed like regular American girls. Shit, who out there didn’t have a fake id? Show of hands please? Yeah, thought so.
I’m really curious how this will pan out. I’ve lived in quite a few cities and I have found most of this country to still be, shockingly, horrifyingly racist. Will we choose a war-hungry President with a plastic wife and white trash VP whose children and/or grandchildren are still figuring out which branch of the family tree they are on or will they suck up any racial issues they may have to vote for Obama? Tough call.

My favorite part is that she backs abstinence-only programs. How are those programs working out for ya now, Ms. VP? bwahahahahahaha *breathe* hahahahaha!!!
on 02 Sep 2008 at 6:18 am # ma
I think that this election is just going to bring out the worst in everyone. And I feel bad for Palin’s daughter. Yeah, she’s pregnant, but because her mother is running for office it is a huge deal instead of just a big deal. (And her mother comes off as a parent who is out of touch with her own kid.)

I just hate them all so much. I announced last week that if one more person from the Obama camp talked about how “funny” his name was, I was voting for Bob Barr.
Guess what crappy line the man himself used the next day? Yep. Barr ‘08, people.
on 02 Sep 2008 at 9:45 am # Uncle Keith
I hate it when people try to talk me into voting for their candidate. It’s the same way with people who try to push their religion on me…EXACTLY THE SAME THING. I also love the turd-choppers that want to argue politics, because whatever I believe is different than their viewpoint. You aren’t going to change my mind, just like you aren’t going to change my blood type, eye color, or lengthen my penis (although I wouldn’t necessarily mind the later.)
I too lost interest when Rudi dropped out.
on 02 Sep 2008 at 10:02 am # LivitLuvit
Giuliani was the man. I agree, it’s almost gotten to be funny at this point. At least I like Biden, but as you said, who cares about the VP, really (unless they’re shooting people in the face)?
Sigh…

Um, hate to tell ya, but getting knocked up as a teen is what all the regular American girls seem to be doing these days. Fake IDs are so last year. I know, I missed the memo on that one, too.
Oh, I took a similar quizzy thing and got very similar results. eCrush Boy’s response: Welcome to the Dark Side. Mine: Go fly to the Twin Cities and play with all your friends at the Convention of Evil. Gah.

Patsy - I wish people would stop with the abstinence. Life is too short to not enjoy some good loving. I don’t believe in depriving myself of any of life’s best pleasures. Hey - Mr. X has to come to Dallas in Nov and I’m trying to tag along. I want him to feel the loving that is Babes Chicken House.
MA, also known as “wiggy” - I never understood why everyone gave the Bush girls a hard time - they were just being girls, and they didn’t take the oath of office and such. So I don’t think we can hold Palin’s daughter to that same standard either - what she does has nothing to do with her mom really. I guess people think that the children of the candidates need to also uphold what their parents believe in. I never got that.
I66 - I hate it too. I find it depressing that this is where we’re headed. I don’t trust Obama. I think he’ll get into office and “change” everything to his liking, whether it’s for the better or not. And McCain probably won’t listen to any sort of reason. So, uh, when’s the traffic jam?
Jordan Baker - I love when someone who is of superior intelligence like yourself also renounces any sort of interest in the election. I’m starting to feel like the Obama fever is just that - a fever. And I don’t think he’ll win. I’ve lived in Atlanta. I’ve lived in Baltimore. I don’t think this country will vote for anything that’s not white. But we’ll see…
Uncle Keith - I miss Rudy. I don’t care what he did in his personal life. He would have been great.
LiLu - Sniff sniff. Giuliani. Damn it! That’s proof positive that most of our country is just stupid, and since the stupids get the same vote as we do, there you go. I think votes should be like they are in condominium associations: We should divide our votes based on a percentage of land we own, or our net worth, or our IQ and vote that way.
Katherine - I don’t think one teenage girl had a baby when I was in high school. And there were 2500 in my school. But things have changed, so I hear.

This “poor white trash” moderately conservative gay Republican wants a little credit. For the record, he has never been a “Bush” Republican and as a result did not vote in 2004, there was just no one who deserved to have the job before that. The 2000 election he voted for Gore, the only time he ever voted Democrat (did a checklist of the issues thing and Gore won by one (1) checkmark). I would of easily voted for McCain in 2000 and 2004, but alas I did not get my chance. I will admit I am having some issues with him in 2008, but he is better than Obama (I so wish Hillery would of won, then we would have an interesting race). Last evening I was having an after dinner conversation with two (2) of my best bleeding heart liberal friends (one (1) is a Democrat and the other more of “get the government out of my life”) and they asked me why I was a Republican, but before I could answer they took turns guessing why. After numerous wrong responses I explained to them why, and this seemed to send them into deep shock. They were actually silent for a while! I won’t share my reasons here on your blog, as it is your blog and I do not want to start any riots outside of the Dog Park. Just to let you know, I have mellowed with age and now able to talk to people with opposing view points, I couldn’t also do that. I am also willing to forgive and forget most “human” things that go on in a canidates life, I also wasn’t always ready to do that. So, if anything, I’ve grown since I have lived in DC and enjoy the opportunity to grow further. Now if you excuse me, like I told Velvet yesterday afternoon, I have to go get perverse while wearing my John McCain for President t-shirt. PS - Velvet, I’m glad you scored so hight on the McCain scale and I have never had collard greens in my life until the weekend in Deleware with you. Choo-Choo!!!!!
on 02 Sep 2008 at 11:50 am # Velvet
King - That was the BEST line. Damn it! I forgot. After discussions at the dog park, King says: “Okay, I have to go home and put on my McCain t-shirt and jerk off.” Awesome! How’d that work out for you? (And I never called you “white trash!!!”)
on 02 Sep 2008 at 12:12 pm # King of the Dog Park
It worked out great, as neither of the bleeding heart liberals were giving up any last night. I felt stronger than usual and was exhausted. One can only wear a John McCain T-Shirt for so long, before all of your power is gone…..
I call myself “Poor White Trash,” so your reader’s don’t think I’m a Republican Snob…..
on 02 Sep 2008 at 12:19 pm # Velvet
Did you find it remotely difficult to type the word “snob” without choking? I just want to be clear on who I’m speaking with. I think you might have stolen my King and replaced him with a shoddy imposter!

My love - words are inconsequential to the King. Names, places, dates, times, spellings - all inconsequential. He calls “Buca di Beppo:” Pee-pee di poo-poo. I’ve given up trying.
Zippy - I like your plan. I’m going to write you in on my ticket. No really, I’ll do it!

Actually, I think you are talking about the Sheriff or the Marsahl of the Dog Park as being the snob and not me. 80’s Rock Bands in the Congress, on the Cabinet and in the Supreme Court would be fine with me. I do love those men on Harley’s. If I were President though, I would have a rough time picking a VP, would it be Billy Idol, AC/DC, Rush, Meatloaf, Guns N Roses, Foreigner, Boston, Prince Harry in a pinch….. I think you get the idea. “Zip Code,” now you are talking my game. I don’t know who Velvet’s love is, but she is totally right!

All this excessive political bullshit talk gives me a headache, I find it depressing that everyone says their view is correct you everyone else is full of shit.
When in fact you all know nothing will change much once A or B is elected : ie sex in the White House or sex in the weeds, it’s still sex and it seems to be OK or not OK depending on your personal view. Or if it’s your husband or your daughter.

So much love here for Giuliani…
Rudy Giuliani is a whore.
I was in a cab listening to him give his speech at the Republican convention in ‘04. In that speech, he was talking about 9/11 (naturally), and mentioned arriving at Ground Zero and standing next to the Chief of the Fire Dept, watching as people jumped to their deaths rather than burn. And that’s when he said:
“So I turned to [FDNY Chief guy] and said, ‘Thank God George W. Bush is our President.”
Really?
Bodies were falling from the sky, and that was your insight?
That’s when I knew Rudy Giuliani had become a two-bit whore.
I met John McCain in 2000 when he was campaigning, and he seemed energetic and interesting. Since then, he’s abandoned every position that made him interesting. Except choosing Palin as his running mate, but that makes him interesting not in a good way.
Which leaves me with Obama, who has a few good ideas and who I think genuinely wants to do something useful. Whether he actually does is anyone’s guess.
on 03 Sep 2008 at 3:59 am # Pook
Finally a post on neither side! I find the Empty Suite and the Old Man par for the course of both parties.
I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative. I am disappointed with our choices.
Dems: I do not want to give half of my money (and therefore time) to another person who isn’t working hard like me.
Repubs: How can your party wants less government and yet instill morality law into our lives? Isn’t that more government?! This party really has gotten lost its mission.
That’s why I liked Ron Paul so much. As much as people thought he was a quack, he was for less government and taxes. And whatever you want to do on your free time, its your call. So if you were gay, and get married to your partner, and create a baby from stem-cells, but then you decided you wanted an abortion…well it would be entirely up to you.
on 03 Sep 2008 at 8:45 am # Reid
I really hope that “I don’t believe in taking money away from moi and putting it into the hands of people who don’t work their asses off as hard as moi” is an over-simplification and not a genuine belief. Disagreeing that social programs make enough of a difference to spend money on them is a perfectly sound opinion (though one I disagree with), but do you really believe that poverty happens simply because poor people aren’t willing to work hard and the you’re not poor only because you work hard?
on 03 Sep 2008 at 9:22 am # Velvet
St. Aug - Yes, but on Sept 11th, GW was only in office a year and 9 months. We all still had faith in him then that he could pull this off. When he made the speech about not harboring terrorists, and you’re either with us or against us, FUCK YEAH, I was so on board. But then his credibility waned when, oh, he waited a year or two to invade…wait…the wrong country…but putting it into the perspective of time, I would have been right alongside Rudy.
Pook - I’m of the same belief about the government staying out of our lives. This is an unsettling group of candidates. I spent some time last night researching all the people running and as I clicked away I saw the usual roundup: “devout Christian,” “Arrested for felony possession,” etc. Seriously, wtf. I don’t care if you’re the Boston Tea Party, you can’t find someone better than that?
Reid - No, actually it’s not an oversimplification. I mean what I say and I say what I mean. I’m not a tree-hugging DC Liberal like almost everyone else here. I don’t believe in giving money to crack mama’s so they can pound out an extra kid or two, drain everyone else’s resources and produce absolutely nothing for society. And yes, I worked my ass off to not be poor, something people should try instead of shoving a 7-11 cup in my face and jingling it for change. That’s not work. That’s pathetic.
on 03 Sep 2008 at 10:20 am # Washington Cube
You know what I loved about Rudy? He thought it was perfectly natural to always have a goomah in rotation. After he left his last wife and married his goomah, he then got another goomah to keep the balance. Chicks and balances. Get it? Noodge. Of course he could manage the economy.

When appropriate, I will tell my daughters two things: don’t have sex, and if you do, don’t get pregnant.
After that, it’s up to them.
on 03 Sep 2008 at 10:57 am # Reid
Simply acknowledging that there’s more to poverty that drug addicts and beggars is not being a “tree-hugging liberal”. The poor people that you and I see on the street are not representative of poverty and social issues in the U.S. I’ve worked hard for what I have, too, but I was also born into a family that allowed me to grow up in a safe place and have a college education, opportunities not afforded to poor people. Yes, there have been a lot of people who have worked hard to pull themselves out of poverty, but it’s extremely difficult and simply put, most people don’t even know *how* to go about it.
Poverty (for whatever reason each individual ends up in poverty) creates desperation and desperation creates social problems like violence and drug abuse which create other social ills that affect all of us. As I said, favoring other economic solutions to these things is totally fine, and Republicans have proposed and implemented some sensible programs that are more capitalistic in nature, but dismissing poverty as “people who don’t work hard” is wrong.
on 03 Sep 2008 at 11:21 am # Velvet
Cube - But you bring up an interesting point - should we care what politicians do with their personal life? I’m not sure. My jury is still out on that one. No one is perfect. Well, except for us.
Phil - something tells me when they get to that age you might be a leeeeetle more concerned about the sex. But we’ll see.
Reid - Well, that is what I see day in and day out, and it’s my choice to not want to give my money to those people. I busted my ass to go to college and grad school, and I don’t feel like having parts of my salary go to people who DIDN’T BUST THEIR ASS TO GO TO COLLEGE AND/OR GRAD SCHOOL to get the salary they needed to not live at poverty levels. Their poverty is not my problem. And no, you’re wrong, if everyone worked a little harder instead of waiting for handouts, they might get out of their situation.

For bloggers whose writings can otherwise be fun, when it comes to politics, y’all come off as retrograde tools.
“I don’t believe in taking money away from moi and putting it into the hands of people who don’t work their asses off as hard as moi.”
Way to regurgitate that tried and true conservative rhetorical ploy, the idea that your taxes go to welfare cheats. In truth, most of your tax money goes to unnecessary, immoral, illegal, and counterproductive wars like Iraq, which your boy McCain wants to continue for 100 years. Yay!
Stick to dating and food.
on 04 Sep 2008 at 3:37 pm # Velvet
Ribtip - Actually, had you read the post, you would see that I identify with neither party and probably won’t vote. So calling him “my boy” is laughable at the least.
My taxes go to welfare cheats as much as they go to government padding. I only addressed the one side which is: democrats believe in taxing the rich to feed the poor. I didn’t even get to the bullshit I have to hear on a daily basis from my government-slug friends about how they had to use up the rest of their budget dollars so everyone has 9 computers now. Thanks for wasting my money!
There’s no right way.
And thanks for YOUR response to stick to dating and food, but um, when the fuck was the last time I went on a date or blogged about food? Moron.

Sorry, I should have said “your boy Rudy.” Like McCain, he also exploited the fuck out of 9/11 to gin up support for the invading Iraq — the first in what he hopes to be many wars against countries that did not attack us. Your tax dollars at work.

so that last post didn’t work like I expected. Anyway, just thought you might be amused to know that I took the same quiz, and came up with…
Barack Obama: 48
John McCain: -30
That’s right, I scored a negative 30 for John McCain. Who knew that the scores could be that low?!
So I guess it’s obvious who I’m voting for…Ron Paul. Kidding!
However, the results are not that surprising. I’ve always know that I’m a pinko commie bleeding heart liberal freak.

I’m so late on this but, Velvet - you can’t judge someone for Vince Neil and then say Stephen Pearcy was hot! That’s practically an even trade, although I’d take Vince over Stephen if I had to choose.
Also hot? Blas Elias from Slaughter. Jerry Dixon from Warrant. and they both still are!
Oh, and I acknowledge there is some sort of political thing happening. There’s my topical response.

i’ve read your blog religiously until you said you are evenly split between the candidates. I’m for Obama. It was nice reading your blog while it lasted.
