There’s nothing new under the sun. Never has been, never will be. Only different iterations of the same old shit, different degrees of this over that, different skews and accents towards one thing and away from the other.

Japhy’s declaration of the birth of the Christian Fundamentalist party is, I feel, at least 8 years late, perhaps 16 years. Remember the ’92 GOP Convention? Think Hitler at Nuremberg and Leni Riefenstahl. It’s also about three buckets of “wish” short of being true. Yeah, I wish it were true. Totally. A Republican schism – a real, bona fide, un-healing split in the GOP – would be great for America. Like it was in 1912, when Teddy Roosevelt “Bull Moosed” the progressives out of the GOP and eventually into the Democratic Party. Ended up giving us the New Deal, social security, a victory over international fascism, massive public education, a 60-year housing boom, a geometrically expanding economy and civil rights. In short, it ended up creating modern America.

But this ain’t a schism. This is one flank of the party over-dominating the other flanks of the party. The religious/social conservatives in ascendancy over the libertarian, small government wings, to be sure, but no schism. Unless and until the downtrodden libertarians and moderates actually leave the party, it’s still the same old party. Funny thing is, modern conventional wisdom would say that the libertarians and moderates won’t go over to the Dems until the Dems become more moderate themselves. Anti- historical bullshit. FDR brought them in with a wildly progressive, aggressive and expansive New Deal. But, that’s a subject for a different history lesson, not today.

Alas, there is nothing new under the sun. Not in this area, at least. And not today.

What a strange spectacle the GOP Convention turned out to be, a bizarre portrait of a major party in implosion. I don’t know where to begin. Actually, yes I do: Sarah Palin. I’m not outraged by her political inexperience, her shameless use of her family as a political prop or the McCain camps inability to vet. I’ve been alive the last 8 years and have become accustomed to a Republican party that’s big on ideas and lousy on execution. It’s no surprise that McCain would choose style (I love her hair) over substance (she’s hardly the most qualified Republican woman to be Veep).

What shocks me is how the GOP still doesn’t seem to get what’s happening to themselves. There was a time where I would have been happy to vote Republican. I want a strong government with limited reach, I believe that personal liberty is sacrosanct and I genuinely believe the government should be in the position of creating opportunities for its citizens as opposed to doling out taxpayer dollars. But the GOP hasn’t been that party in decades and in St.Paul this week we saw the nadir of the conservative movement. In the binding together of John McCain and Sarah Palin, the Republicans seem to think they’ll have given themselves a fasces that they can use to maintain political power. But to an outsider the McCain-Palin ticket is the political equivalent of the jackalope, an entertaining spectacle for an hour or two, but too preposterous to believe.

The Republicans have lost this election. I’m certain there’ll be more twists and turns in what has turned out to be the strangest election in modern U.S. history, but it’s over. It’s over in spite of McCain’s attempts to bring back some semblance of the old G.O.P., We saw in convention speech after convention speech, in the shameless and vile 9/11 video that dishonored the memory of those who died that way by using the graphic images of their deaths to forward a political viewpoint and most of all, in the craven decision to put a social conservative who would ban abortion for all women and who debates the merits of creationism on the ticket, the death of the Republican party and the rise of this new thing– a Christian Fundamentalist party.

It’s no surprise then that as you looked around the Xcel Center this week, the word “Republican” was nowhere to be found.

Rick Davis believes this election is about personalities, not issues. What he meant to say is that he wants it to be about personalities. That has always worked for Republicans. Ever since Regan pulled in the so-called Reagan Democrats and cemented the notion that the Democrats were godless heathens who want to abort your families to gay Hell, Republicans have used social issues to win elections. And he’s right. It worked for Bush so why abandon that strategy now? This became even clearer with the choice of Palin and the Grand Ole Opry that was the RNC. We’ve got families! We have God! over and over again from old hacks to football coaches and soccer moms. That’s John McCain, they say. But, no, actually it isn’t. That’s them, the right wing conservatives who have had control over the party for far too and until the convention were not behind their party’s nominee. It’s as if Karl Rove like Iago whispered in Johnny’s ear or more appropriately text-ed his blackberry–can he operate one? and warned him that his Independent choice of Joe Lieberman would not overcome the electoral advantage Obama had and that his last hope would be to rally the base. And lower his standards he did! I sincerely hope it is somehow different this election cycle. Now with the base energized over Palin, it makes the mountain Obama must climb that much steeper and his win less of a foregone conclusion.

Check out the Milk preview.

UPDATE: Mr. Grant wants me to chime in on the project. I’m hesitant to write about Milk, to be honest, because 1) I haven’t seen it and 2) I think that Sean Penn in an idiot (remember his “fact finding” trip to Iraq?), so I’m inclined to hate it. But I have to hand it to Focus Features for spending $15 million on a serious movie, starring real talent and targeting LGBT viewers. I haven’t seen that since, what, Brokeback Mountain?

Tags: Annie Oakley, Bush, Palin's views, sarah palin

Little Sarah’s homespun certitude about both her capabilities to actually be the VP of a country with 300 million people, a country with mega-urban centers, polyglot cultures, disconnected communities and peoples, a country with far-flung foreign policy challenges and deep-seeded class and economic structural nuances, is, quite honestly, appealing. It is patently ridiculous, but, to many, many Americans, it is appealing.
Same was true with George W. Bush. His idiocy was basically a mark of true American virtue (see Know-Nothing).
So I guess McCain’s boys in the backroom really do know their shit. You see, this is even better than Bush. This is a woman. So, when Biden, or Obama, or the press or any other sapient being tries to point out how absolutely clueless, stupid and scary Palin’s ideas are, they are screwed. She’s Annie Oakley. She’s a soccer (or moose hunting) mom. Look at her family – how wholesome! Look at her nice, simple dress - the girl next door! She’s gotta have common sense, right?
And here I was, all ready to characterize McCain and whomever his running mate would be as “McCain/Bush”. I was wrong. It’s “McCain/bush”.

That’s it. We throw in the towel. The Daily Show is the best news show on television. While MSNBC races to be more like the show, this clip reminds us that it’s not just the snark that makes Stewart & Co. so great, it’s the research and reporting.

Sarah Palin is damned dirty liar masquerading as Tina Fey playing Police Chief Marge Gunderson in a summer stock production of “Fargo: The Musical.”

And so is Mike Huckabee! In his RNC speech, he pointed out that Sarah Palin supposedly got more votes in her Wasilla, Alaska mayoral election than Joe Biden got in his 2008 presidential bid. The overweight post-frat-boys-turned-stockbrokers, the millionare dowagers in their pearls and St. John suits, and the elderly white men who thought they were attending a Matlock convention — in other words, the audience at Xcel Energy Center — applauded wildly. But? Joe Biden dropped out after one state, Iowa. (Which was a caucus; caucus results aren’t popular vote results. Even Barack Obama only got 940 “votes” (delegates, really) in Iowa, and he won it.) Meanwhile, our loveable Caribou Barbie garnered a whopping 909 votes in her 1999 race for Wasilla mayor. But, Huck? Even after he dropped out, Joe Biden got 64,041 votes in the 2008 presidential race — about seven times as many residents of Wasilla.

Obviously, it was just a throwaway line. But Huck completely pulled it out of his formerly fat ass. And we’re supposed to remotely trust the GOP??

The question of whether Sarah Palin’s family should be off limits has been bandied about a lot over the last few days. Most people have said that, yes, families should be off limits in the political discourse. I’m going out on a limb here and saying that is total bullshit.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that people calling Bristol Palin a slut (which so far no one has done…out loud…in public) or calling Chelsea Clinton ugly (which Rush Limbaugh and his ilk loved to do, and still occasionally do) is appropriate or right. However, candidates’ spouses and their children are a direct reflection on the candidates themselves, who they are, the values they hold, and the company they keep. An objective examination of candidates’ spouses and childrens’ behavior is completely valid in the citizenry’s examination of candidates viability as president.

Tags: mccain, Obama/Biden, Palin's record, Right-wing

Obama/Biden have one very straightforward, very large task to accomplish over the next two months: turn the election into nothing but a debate over issues. Period.

A “debate” over personalities will elect McCain/Palin, and the GOP knows this. The first stage of this has been happening very successfully – from the GOP perspective – for weeks now. The 180 that McCain has taken on every issue that once made him a “maverick”, and his support for Right wing ideological measures that he never has before supported (and that the American people roundly reject) have been completely glossed over. Indeed, one wouldn’t even know he is a Republican at this point.

And the choice of Palin – the most unqualified person to ever get on a ticket, and a person whose views are so far outside the mainstream that they would have once made John McCain cringe – will work to bring over disaffected Hillary supporters as long Palin is allowed to float above the facts of her “record”.

Obama/Biden need to nothing – and I mean nothing – but hammer the campaign trail on specific issue after specific issue, on Palin’s record on these issues, and on McCain’s flip-flops on these issues. Healthcare, taxes, the environment, oil, reproductive rights, on and on. With each of these, Palin is to the Right of Bush, and McCain is all over the map.

There are 1000s and 1000s of hours of footage, interviews, voting records and speeches made by McCain and Palin that Obama/Biden can use to prove this. But no one will listen if they don’t make people pay attention. If they do, they win. If they don’t, America loses.

I wish I could take credit for it, but Max Blumenthal beat me to it. Juno from Juneau. So let me add this little observation: Seems that the Christian Right is more than happy to forgive the story line of the movie “Juno” when it represents the real lives of their newfound heroine from Juneau, than when it was just a nice, funny movie. My, oh my, is the Right wing scary-ridiculous.

Is Levi Johnston guilty of statutory rape? It would seem so. The self-described “fucking redneck” who is the father of Bristol Palin’s unborn child is 18 and she’s 17, which according to Alaska state law is considered sexual abuse in the 3rd degree and a felony.

Should Sarah Palin’s daughter be off limits? My feeling is that she ought to be, but that Palin herself is responsible for the media scrutiny her daughter is now going to endure. She’s touted her family values and personal story as part of her qualifications to be veep. I think it’s wonderful that she chose to keep her baby Trig when she discovered he had Down’s Syndrome, but by talking about her choices as a mother, she’s opened the door to having her family examined under the microscope.

My two cents on Palin is that she seems like an interesting person and a promising politician for Alaska. I think McCain’s choice will probably ruin her career, but even more so, it shows that McCain’s judgement can’t be trusted. Is there anyone out there who really believes that Sarah Palin is the most qualified Republican to be Vice-President of the United States? How about the 10th most qualified? 50th?

Joe has a point. I’ve never been inclined to join Log Cabin Republicans, although I go to its meetings sometimes to cruise for conservative jail bait. What bothers me is its unconditional allegiance to Republicans. If McCain can count on Log Cabin in November, no matter what his position is on marriage and other issues, how in the world does Log Cabin expect to win some concessions?

“It’s a private family matter.” That’s the line from the McCain/Palin campaign regarding the fact that Palin’s unmarried, seventeen year old teenage daughter is pregnant.

A private family matter. Good. I guess this means that the GOP and to-be elected President McCain will go full-throttle to choke off the religious Right in their incessant pontifications around the public policy intrusions into our bedrooms, let alone their zealot blind devotion to abstinence-only education over sex ed. They will, right? I mean, they aren’t a bunch of soulless hypocrites, are they?

Dear Governor Palin;

I know you and I don’t like you.

Okay, so I don’t know you personally, but I know your type and I can say, unequivocally, that I do not like you. I wasn’t sure at first why I was reacting so viscerally to McCain picking you for his running mate. Of course, there is the fact that I disagree with you on every single issue facing this country presently, and most likely in the future. And then there is the point that his choosing you was clearly a pandering, cynical move to attract disaffected Clinton supporters. But no, there was something else, something primal in my immediate distaste for you and everything you stand for. It took me a little while to put my finger on it, but then it came to me. You’re Julie Allen.

Who, you may ask, is Julie Allen? Why, she is my arch-foe, my nemesis, the Moriarty to my Holmes. Julie Allen was the bane of my existence; or at least she was in Middle-School. Popular, athletic, and studious, a favorite among teachers and students alike, what could possibly be so awful about her that I would rather stab my own eye out with a spork, then spend more than 10 minutes in her presence? Because she embodies, like you do, everything that is wrong with America.

That’s right. Smug suburban assimilation, non-questioning homogenous conformity, willing consumption of the hypocritical party line, all wrapped up in one socially acceptable, inoffensive package; that’s what you are. And that’s why I don’t like you. The top-40 Christian Rock pack mentality that identifies anything different, anything outside of the norm as needing to be shunned, needing to be destroyed. Anything which doesn’t reinforce the comfy cocoon of self-righteous superiority must be rejected. All in order to continue that mass delusion of “the way things were” that, in fact, never were.

And America will see you for who you are — the meany mom on the PTA whose goal is to make all the other overworked, underappreciated mothers feel inadequate, the mayor who wields her authority to make her town into a cookie-cutter Stepford, the party flack, so sure in her own inherent correctness, that when the presumptive party presidential nominee asks you to be his running mate, despite your obvious lack of any and all credentials, you actually agree.

So for the rest of us, the Americans who have never quite fit in, the ones who never feel quite good enough, the ones who ask questions and demand answers, the ones who don’t just do what they are told to do, think what they are told to think, and believe what they are told to believe, we know you, all too well, and I’m sure come November, you find that, like me, they don’t like you.

The Right-wing media operatives, including Log Cabin Republicans, have begun trying (pathetically) to portray Sarah Palin – that’s McCain’s Veep pick, in case you have never heard of the woman – as being “moderate” on Gay issues. This little conceit is based on the happenstance fact that as Governor of Alaska, Palin vetoed a law prohibiting state benefits going to same-sex partners right after the Alaskan Supreme Court declared that denial of such benefits was completely unconstitutional.

Palin vetoed the bill on the grounds that it was patently, objectively, and unequivocally unconstitutional, as it was. As she vetoed it, she stated her opposition to the Supreme Court’s ruling allowing for partnership benefits and she reiterated her staunch opposition to Gay marriage. Wow! What a friend!

Now, the Log Cabin crowd will tell you that, “hey, she’s no different than Obama on Gay issues” and use this little chunk of bullshit as “proof”. They will say that since both Obama/Biden and McCain/Plain are against Gay marriage, and since Palin is now “pro-Gay partnerships” (yeah, right!), there is no difference, and thus the LGBT community can feel “ok” with supporting the GOP for President.

Which is true, if the only gay rights issue is Gay Marriage. But it ain’t. There are dozens of important issues for the LGBT community, all, and I mean all of which Obama/Biden support and McCain/Palin oppose.

But it really shouldn’t surprise anyone that the Log Cabin set really doesn’t give a rat’s ass about gay rights. They are Republicans first and foremost, and spend all of their time and energy attempting to rationalize their self-loathing and political duplicity with the enemy, rather than standing up like men and women and saying enough is enough.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

In the time-honored tradition of political caricature, Eric Eisenbrey, one of the creative minds behind “Another Gay Movie” and a longtime friend of mine, opens his latest conservative-skewering, free love tome, “Another Gay Sequel,” tonight in New York and L.A. The movie includes some fun appearances from American Idol’s Jim Verraros and Rupaul, as well as Perez Hilton’s over-the-top character, a gay Republican Catholic virgin, which I suspect is based on me. Check it out.

On Palin:

Smart decision. Unlike the other choices, she has the potential to draw some of the disaffected Clinton supporters over McCain. Will she make a difference with independents? No. Her opposition to abortion and to same-sex marriage could be unpalatable for a lot of women who will opt for Obama instead. But the decision to put a wild card like Palin on the ticket means that McCain knows exactly how dire Republican chances are this election, and means to turn them around.

On Obama:

I loved his speech. I had a feeling watching it that what had started with the underground railroads of the Civil War era ended on the stage in Denver when Obama, who could have been a slave in another time, stood up there, a candidate to lead America. I think we look at history as a confluence of events that gradually unfold before us, but there are singular moments too, split seconds, when the weight of everything that happened before them converges in an instant and we feel it in our bones that something has changed. Something is not the same. That was the feeling I had watching Obama’s speech. The moment he walked out on that stage to accept the Democratic nomination - that moment was the end of slavery.
Nick Dierman 7:51 am on August 29, 2008 | 1 | # |

Joe, nice work predicting Joe Biden for Democratic VP. But it looks like yours truly did pretty well in predicting Palin:

I think he may go with a dark horse, and I think he may go with a woman in order to “capture” the legendary PUMA voters who are still bitter over Hillary (truth be told, I don’t think they actually exist). That leaves the three women most often named in the GOP Veepstakes: Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska; Condi Rice; and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. (Some say Kay Bailey Hutchison is in the mix, too, although I’m not sure she’s actually in the running.) McCain wants to make history and he wants to make a splash and he wants to take the air out of Obama’s tires. That’s why I think he’s going to choose a running mate with a vagina (and no, Charlie Crist still doesn’t count).

But will the alleged PUMA’s really flock to McCain’s ticket because he’s got a pro-life, allegedly hot mukluk-wearing She-Alaskan on the ticket? My guess is no.

This does, however, complicate Obama’s chances of taking Alaska and its precious electoral votes. As if that were terribly realistic in any event…
