‘Cindy McCain was brought up Congregationalist. John McCain’s great-grandfather was an Episcopalian pastor. He has never been baptized. – New Yorker magazine.’

‘Dudes for Sarah’


 

Among others, "Dudes for Sarah" are those Joe Six-packs, in red checked flannel jackets and steel-toed boots, National Rifle card-carrying burly-type moose-hunting, moose-gutting construction and agricultural specialists.

It’s the men that get their jollies at Republican rallies… shouting: "You rock me out Sarah!" "Hot chick!" "I wanna marry you!" "Babe!" and "Lipstick!" These are the "Dudes for Sarah"—their testosterone flowing while hooting at her, like she was an aptly-endowed bikini-clad participant in an all-women mud-wrestling bout. Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan: "Palin… attempts to excite sensation."

The job Sarah wants is as president-replacement of the most powerful country in the world. All this testosterone won’t help her to think or say, sine qua non, when her 73-year old president quits on her. The New York Times writes that "Palin doesn’t think aloud. She just…says things." What the whole world fears most is what Sarah will do and say (ano ang ibubuga?) to check-n-balance the conflicting counsels of all those around her when she is sitting as commander-in-chief.

Garrison Keilor in the Tribune: "What we are seeing is the stuff of a novel – the public corruption of an American war hero. It is painful. First, there was McCain’s exploitation of a symbolic woman, an eager zealot who is so far out of her depth that it isn’t funny anymore. Anyone with a heart has to hurt for how McCain has made a fool of Sarah…."

These Joe Six-packs, in red checked flannel jackets and steel-toed boots, National Rifle card-carrying burly-type moose-hunting, moose-gutting construction and agricultural specialists now whooping at Sarah are, themselves, responsible, intelligent businessmen who consult political and economic advisors. These men, whose testosterone flows over the Winking Sarah, may not want the same Winking Sarah at the Oval Office. These men lust for a Hot Chick at rallies, or elsewhere, but not in the White House.

Did McCain pick her as a female tokenism? From Day 1 according to past NY Times polls, it was men whom Sarah got excited. McCain wanted a female and thought Sarah would do. But Sarah won’t do, not as president of the USA. She does best what first got her noticed back then…in a bathing suit, with that Sarah Wink, that got the testosterone flowing.

The women at Sarah’s rallies (outnumbered by the men) notice and resent the heat of all that flowing testosterone. Republican Linda Teegan at Weirs Beach, New Hampshire, observing all these: "This is not a ladies’ campaign. There seems to be lots and lots of guys here. I’d guess 70-30, maybe 65-35, men to women. It’s quite noticeable to me."

Did McCain pick Sarah to lure men to the rallies? "Marry me, Sarah!" one shouted, all dignity denied the contender to the second highest office of the land. ‘American Idol’ candidates get more respect.

Did John McCain pick Sarah to flaunt her implied conservative religiosity? Was the choice to complement the alleged McCain family’s Christian conservatism? According to the New Yorker magazine (www.newyorker.com.online) issue of September 15, 2008, page 54: "Cindy McCain was brought up Congregationalist. John McCain’s great-grandfather was an Episcopal minister. He has never been baptized…." Was it John McCain or his pastor-predecessor who was never baptized? Not clear in Ariel Levy’s article. It sounds improbable that a religious like this pastor-predecessor of McCain, whose major mandate is to baptize and make Christians of his flock, is himself not baptized?? A person not baptized has not yet accepted Jesus Christ, and is referred to in most Christian communities as a heathen or pagan. If, according to New Yorker, either John McCain or his Episcopal predecessor was not baptized, this makes one or the other of them a heathen. Would someone please email me to throw light on this matter?
