ppdingles thoughts on Election night 2008.

So the 2008 Presidential Election is over and history has been made as America(honestly for once)has voted in the first African-American President. But it wasn't such a smooth ride the entire night of November 4Th. Here is my take on some of the dumb things you might of missed that night.



The first had to be when Kentucky went red for McCain. You could have a talking turd with a Republican button on and Kentucky will vote for it. Oh wait they did that before...in 2000 and 2004.



Next is when I saw Louisiana go red for McCain. What the Hell? A history lesson for everyone down there. Lets go back to August 2005 and a little storm named Katrina. While all of you were sitting on your roofs waiting for help, President Bush was eating cake and guess who was eating with him?......John McCain! So next time a huge Hurricane comes your way I hope it wipes you all off the fucking map because your obviously to damn stupid for your own good!



Then there was the Gay-Marriage ban that was approved in California. Shame on anyone that voted for that!!!!! Nobody has the right to decide the life of other people. I just hope someday that the Gay community gets to vote on something that will restrict Straight people from doing something in their life. Turnabout is fair play to me.



And finally this happened the day after the election but it still garners attention. This is the Facebook group for supporters of Sarah Palin on Wednesday November 5Th, 2008



A little fuzzy but it says 364 "fewer" members! Already the rats are jumping ship. Her plane hasn't even touched down in Alaska and her "supporters" are already leaving town. No wonder they lost!

I'm ppdingles and I approve this blog posting!

The ice isn't the only thing melting in Alaska...

Wow- 2008 has turned out to be a landmark year for Alaska politics. Governor Sarah Palin was found to have abused the power of her office and broken the public trust, notably the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. Senator Ted Stevens can only get other Republican politicians and former members of the Bush Administration to say "hey, he's a good guy!"

Don't know about the rest of you, but a politician is almost synonymous with several four-letter words, with liar being the nicest I'm willing to print!

There's something in the air...(sniff)...oh, never mind, it's just the usual arrogance

An amazing irony- at the same time the GOP is planning, more or less, their love-in at the Xcel Energy Center in Minneapolis, Senate Republicans are monkey-wrenching renewal of key tax credits for investment in and production of alternative energy sources. At the same time, however, conservative Democrats in the House are in the midst of petulant hissy-fitting, vowing to block any extension that adds to the deficit.

Are you fucking kidding me? I haven't heard much in the way of protest over the tax credits being shoveled from the back of Capitol Hill's truck onto the lawns of the oil companies, nor have I heard much in the way of argument over House Democrats throwing the checkbook and a pen to President Bush every time the phrase "Iraq," or "terrorism" pops up, so the stance on the alternative energy tax credits smacks of the usual half-cocked arrogance we have come to expect from so-called politicians like Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who thinks nothing of investing in alternative energy plans, like those proposed by T. Boone Pickens, while not even understanding basic principles, such as natural gas being a fossil fuel (on Meet the Press last week, Pelosi referred to natural gas as an alternative to fossil fuel)

This arrogance is ill-afforded, with not only loss of jobs and commerce hanging in the balance, but definable, if not clear-cut solutions to our nation's dependence on over-priced oil.
