Freeper Founder Gives Up On McCain; votes for...
Bobby Jindal of Louisiana.
So, you wonder, why did General Fuckwit of the RedState (AKA RedShit) milita/hate website not vote for McCan't. Because even he has standards. Yes, even him.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/12/redstate-co-founder-cant_n_133970.html

RedState co-founder Joshua Trevino writes on his blog that he can't bring himself to vote for the Republican ticket:

In the end, I couldn't do it. My California ballot arrived in the mail today, and I opened it fully intending to vote for John McCain. I filled out the state propositions first -- yes on 8, no on everything proposing a new bond or new spending -- then the local offices, straight Republican excepting Kevin Johnson for (nonpartisan) Sacramento mayor. Finally, the vote for President of the United States: an academic exercise in California, where Barack Obama will surely win by a crushing margin. But good citizenship demands voting as if it matters. Do I believe in John McCain? Not as much as I used to. Do I believe in Sarah Palin? Despite my early enthusiasm for her, now not at all. Do I believe in the national Republican Party? Not in the slightest -- even though I see no meaningful alternative to it. So, my choice for President in 2008, scrawled in my ballot as an act of futile protest, is Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. If nothing else, I am confident this is the first of several votes I will cast for him in years to come.


Also today on fivethirtyeight.com we learn that McPalin has a 5.9% chance of winning the election.
When the GOP loses the Freepers, you know they're screwed and the vultures are circling overhead, blotting out the sky.

2. I'm not going to read that loser. What reason did he give for not voting for McPalin?

Soon, only oil tycoons and the rigged voting machines will vote for McCrazy.

5. Can you blame them?
Their party has disintegrated into finger pointing chaos and their "trickle-down" economics has been proven the worst failure in the history of capitalism.

12. Isn't Jindal a secret Hindu?
I feel bad for typing that.

Though I admit, it will be fun in four years to watch the Freepers support a guy who's birthname is Piyush.
