Endgame Viable

In case anyone was worried, I’m now convinced that George Allen is, in fact, the devil. On Hardball last night, the “aw shucks, I’m just a good ol’ Virginia boy” routine was particularly nauseauting. (By the way, do appearances on shows like Hardball during an election campaign count as election advertising? Shouldn’t the other candidates get equal time? Maybe that doesn’t count until after the primary.) I laughed out loud when he said something like, “one of my favorite bumper stickers was Question Authority.” Har-har. This from the man whose voting record exactly matches George Bush and the Republican majority. I’m not a big fan of using the “Rubber-stamp Republican” slogan, but if such a thing exists, George Allen is the very definition of it.

Here are just some of George Allen’s radical anti-establishment views, based on his voting record:

• George Allen doesn’t want to change campaign finance rules.
• George Allens thinks it’s okay to hate women, cripples, and gays.
• George Allen doesn’t want military personnel to have abortions.
• George Allen supports media monopolies.
• George Allen wants a Constitutional amendment to define marriage.
• George Allen really, really hates Arctic wildlife.
• George Allen likes using foreign oil.
• George Allen doesn’t like renewable fuel sources.
• George Allen didn’t want to help Katrina victims.
• George Allen doesn’t want to investigate government contracts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
• George Allen doesn’t want to help low income families.
• George Allen supports corporate tax loopholes.
