When John McCain and the GOP launched their ‘America First’ campaign in 2008, it soon became painfully obvious that it was nothing more than a campaign slogan with the ‘demographic over qualifications’ pick of Sarah Palin as his running mate. Within a matter of days it became evident that Palin had no concept of what the vice president’s job entailed, no insight to the political arena beyond the “Leaving Wasilla” road sign in south-central Alaska and was very poorly read.
Palin cost McCain the election and was snubbed by the Republican Party. So what’s a pitbull in lipstick to do? Write a book, quit your job, pack up the Governor’s Mansion, and hit the road to stir the ‘Real Americans’ into a psychotic frenzy by promising them a way to ‘Take Back America.’
Two years later, through a politically cruel twist of fate for the GOP, Sarah Palin, along with such pseudo celebrities as Glen Beck, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, now commands the largest contingent of misfits in the history of American politics – The Tea Party – and they’re splitting the Republican Party right down the middle.

Although the Tea Party doesn’t yet have the numbers to win seats in the big elections, they do have the numbers to take votes away from the other candidates so they can’t win them either – and where are most of these votes coming from? The Republican Party. How’s that for Political Karma?

Get the Political Karma mug.An individual or entity hired by an interest group to influence public opinion towards some desired end, esp. one with no ideological investment in that particular end as a cause or issue (i.e. acting purely out of financial interest). Political contractors are often expert propagandists, who seek to denature existing language in order to discredit or tarnish its users (typically the opposition).
Krystal, despite her anti-corporatist beliefs, has been a willing political contractor for several multimedia outlets that receive high levels of corporate funding.

Liberals disguise their racism as loving tolerance and desire for equality by using political correctness to deceive us and brainwash us.Democrats and Republicans both suck and they both just lie to us and brainwash us in order to get us to go along with their plan for a new world order.Their racism should sound and alarm.

Get the politicalholic mug.Politicians become successful by obtaining an elected position in public office. This requires a series of strategic lie telling in an utmost convincing manner. A successful politician must first tell a convincing series of lies to gain favor in a political party. Then, another series of lies must be told to financial backers to gain funds to run for a position in public office. Finally, a politician must tell another series of often conflicting lies to the general public to win votes for election. This process of successful lie telling eliminates all honesty from the profession, which has become a requirement of a position in public office.
Politicians will typically be very outwardly charismatic individuals possessing above average abilities to charm and persuade people. They seek positions in public office as a means of sidestepping laws and to gain personal profit while avoiding a possible life of crime as a con-man. Public office offers the opportunity to present ones self as an upstanding law abiding citizen while also offering ample opportunities to lie, accept bribes, steal money through misappropriated tax dollars, etc. Politics offers a successful career path for a pathological liar.
