Rogue Squadron!

Above: The 'book' Palin
'wrote' a few years ago.
Hey, do you remember Tina Fey's hilarious SNL character, Sarah Palin? Did you know that she was based on a 'real' person? You know, real in the sense that she exists. As John McCain's running mate, Palin brought an illiterate folksy charm to the campaign and provided us all with hours of entertainment. Well she's back and opening her baby seal-meat-hole about this year's election cycle, suggesting that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan need to 'go rogue' and let us ignorant masses know just how terrible things have gotten under Barack Obama's disastrous administration. I wasn't quite clear on how the word 'rogue' applied so I looked it up and it turns out that she might be on to something.

From Dictionary.com:
So like, did anyone in the GOP back in 2008 even bother to look up her catch phrase?

from Kansas and level 9 Rogue.

Yup, if there's one thing the Republican candidates need it's to be more dishonest and knavish. And I suppose it also couldn't hurt to be a playfully mischievous and inferior elephant-tramp. Man, that Sarah Palin really knows how to win an election. Romney and Ryan would do well to heed her advice. But this font of ingenious political acumen knows no bounds, here's another useful tidbit from that snow-machine riding GOP Wampa:


"America desperately needs to have a 'come to Jesus' moment in discussing our big, dysfunctional, disconnected and dept-ridden federal government,"
-Sarah Palin, former Governor and Russia Spotter
"Listen kid, I'd love to help you out, really I would, but I'll need to see some proof of insurance
-what's that? You don't have any? Looking for a handout, huh? You just thought the government would
take care of everything, huh? Does this look like France to you? Pffft...bunch of dead beat socialists..."

 -Jesus*
Of course it would help if this
guy kept his mouth shut.

Now, I know what your thinking: with this kind of help, how is it possible that Mitt Romney isn't enjoying a massive 10 point lead in the polls? I mean, after all, of the two major party candidates Mitt Romney is by far the richest and whitest. What's the problem? Is it the liberal media bias? Anit-Morman prejudice? The fact that almost half of the country is a bunch of whiney mooches? The answer of course, is yes: all of these factors are conspiring to keep the eminently qualified and perfectly quaffed Romney from his proper place in history, but don't worry true believers, there's hope. Dishonest and knavish hope.

Youthful optimism? Wide-eyed hope
for the future? Can't have that...
The GOP, in an effort aimed at fighting the 1's of cases of voter fraud that happen every never have been passing new voter ID laws in a number of states. What's that? But not everyone has a photo ID that meets the new qualifications! You say? Yeah. How 'bout that? Students will be especially hard hit since several new bills disallow student ID's and student housing forms as forms of valid identification. But college students were a major force in the President's election in '08! Gee what a coincidence.

It's almost like the GOP isn't so much fighting an imagined epidemic of voter fraud as they are executing a mass voter purge designed to ensure an electoral college victory. Oh those lovable rogues, what will they think of next?
Well, you know what they say: If you can't beat'em, disenfranchise their base and seize power.

*What the hell right? Jesus can say whatever you want him to say.
