So who next is best suited to be #2 on the Greedy OffshoreProfiteer's ticket?
My money's on Shelley Moore Capito, (R-WV 2nd), for a number of reasons. To start off with, they're just alike.
Both supported the war in Iraq;
Both sell the "surge" as a success desperately trying to cover their failure to oppose the invasion;
Neither will tell their plan for "winning" an occupation;
Both have been blocking oversight of war contracts for years;
Both are MULTImillionaires;
Both cut veteran's benefits year after year;
Both TALK about alternative energy but sell the lie that coal is "a clean alternative";
Both supported the largest cut to education funding in history;
Both would privatize social security;
Both claim they're moderates but voted for Bush's policies around 90% of the time;
Both claim that drilling offshore will make us independent from foreign oil despite US DoE reports otherwise;
Both are very skilled in raising tons of cash from Big Oil and Big Coal;
Both survived major scandals involving large donations from GOP lobbyists jailed for money laundering and other crimes; and,
Neither offers any real solutions to our economic problems.
Plus, the ticket looks GREAT on a BUMPER STICKER!
Come to think of it, this works even if Palin stays ON the G.O.P. ticket!
