The American media keeps inventing demographics that people will hopefully relate to, and then one of the nominees can pander to this imaginary group of people, because those people actually think they are a "hockey mom" or, worse as I just read on Time.com, a "Wal-Mart mom". What the fuck is a Wal-Mart mom? How does one even identify themselves with a business so closely...?
The article goes on to quote sources describing this motley band of white mother folk, but it's vague enough to still make you wonder...all elections seem to be determined by the assholes predicting it. There's more enthusiasm for predicting who'll win than trying to find out who you should vote for...it's elementary, I know, but people keep falling for this shit. So this particular category of "Wal-Mart moms" (older white women without college educations, perhaps your secretary) will vote against their interests for Palin, because she's being sold as a 'real' American mother, instead of voting for somebody like a Democrat which is clearly more sensible when you're short on cash and have to shop at Wal-Mart all the goddamn time...but no, Americans don't want any help from their governments, except to plot invasions of other countries.
The Onion and Daily Show have covered this topic before, but damn, the media is in a terrible state of disrepair...but no, vote for Palin and McCain, they exist more realistically than Obama and Biden!
This election is just fucking sickening and I cannot turn away from it.
