Top 5 Reasons Why the World Will End if Mccain/Palin Win

·


1. Sarah Palin sued George W. Bush for putting polar bears on the endangered species list, saying that it affects where oil companies can drill for oil. The Anchorage Daily News reported that she and other Alaska elected officials fear a listing will cripple oil and gas development in prime polar bear habitat off the state's northern and northwestern coasts.

"She's either grossly misinformed or intentionally misleading, and both are unbecoming," said Kassie Siegel of the Center for Biological Diversity. "Alaska deserves better."

"Even the Bush administration can't deny the reality of global warming," she said. "The governor is aligning herself and the state of Alaska with the most discredited, fringe, extreme viewpoints by denying this."

2. With a vice presidential nominee who does not believe global warming is man made, and a presidential nominee who has a 1 in 5 chance of dying during his first term, the state of the world will be in trouble.

"Further global warming of 1 °C defines a critical threshold. Beyond that we will likely see changes that make Earth a different planet than the one we know." So says Jim Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York.

Increased deaths, displacements, and economic losses are projects due to more extreme weather events. There will be species extinction, decreased agricultural yields, and an increase in the range of disease vectors.

3. Her husband works for BP oil, so I'm sure she is very unbiased about the above complaints.

4. McCain once called his wife a cunt:

In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, who at one point playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt."

His excuse was that he had had a long day. Sorry Sen. McCain, but the president, I'm sure, will have even longer days. Is this the kind of man who should be in charge of the country?

5. Speaking of McCain's temper, he's called opponents and colleagues "shitheads," "assholes" and in at least one case "a fucking jerk."

But don't worry America, there is another man in the white house who has a temper - Dick Cheney - who once recommended Sen. Patrick Leahy to "fuck yourself."

So when you go to vote, be sure to picture four more years of hot headed Cheney, and do not vote for "McNasty." (McCain's high school nickname)

So number four and five may not bring about the end of the world as we know it, but it sure will lower even further the standing of America in the world's eye. But the first three reasons, dealing with the environment, do have a high potential to destroy the world as we know it.
