Free Times - Rant & Rave

The Free Times, a South Carolina entertainment magazine, features a section called Rant & Rave where citizens can phone in and voice their opinions in hopes that they will be quoted anonymously in print.  The following rants are excerpted from Free Times.

November 24-30, 2010

   Remember all the people who insisted two years ago that Obama didn't have enough experience to be president?  Those people should be shouting the same thing about Sarah Palin.

   Republications and conservatives spent us into a bottomless pit of debt, blamed anyone but themselves, then are seriously thinking of nominating Sarah Palin for president.  Have any of you ever read her rap sheet:  Makes Jim Bakker look like the pope.

December 8-14, 2010

   Dear Republicans: please, please, please nominate Sara Palin for president. She is exactly what this country needs:  Reassurance that in our "Can Do" country, any unqualified, quitter, moron and sellout can become president.

   A rave for Sarah Palin:  Thanks for prematurely quitting a real job where you could do some real damage and becoming a (mostly) harmless roving curiosity.  Could you help me convince Nikki [Haley] to join you?  You could be a pair of mama grizzlies "protecting" your families from afar. (Bonus: A rant to John McCain for unleashing this curiosity on an unsuspecting public.  Had you made better decisions during the campaign, you might be president now.)

   I went to the Vista and saw Bahama Mama wearing spandex.  They need to outlaw that.

Palin Stepping Down as Alaska's Governor

Sarah Palin announced minutes ago that she is leaving her position as governor of Alaska. Yeah, Alaska!

McCain: Clearly Not Presidential Material

Between John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, spouting asinine falsehoods about Senator Barack Obama (terrorist, Muslim, untrustworthy, etc.), the racists are coming out in record numbers to McCain/Palin rallies. It will not be in the best interest of this country to go back down that road. John McCain is not ready to lead this country but he's doing a great job of dividing it even further. McCain's half-hearted efforts to put the genie back in the bottle do not fool those of us who have a brain and use it. Barack Obama is the only sane choice.
