Why Snooki Matters (seriously)
America's Right ^

Posted on 08/04/2010 6:04:36 AM PDT by CJBernard

Now, while Snooki did not bother to mention that the administration’s institution of the tax on tanning services is an overt breach of the president’s campaign promise to ensure that no one making less than $250,000 per year will see a tax increase, nor did she mention that the tariff likely violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as it applies to one segment of the population but not another with the disparity based upon race (though she did note that John McCain is “pale” and “would probably want to be tan” while Obama “doesn’t have that problem, obviously”), her reasoning does not matter.

Snooki’s underlying reasons behind her inherent dislike of Barack Obama’s tanning policy would only be of any consequence to those who not only know of Snooki but respect her political acumen enough to follow her lead at the polls. Those people worry me. In reality, far more important is the mere fact that Snooki was aware of the tanning tax to begin with — not to mention the party responsible for it. That, my friends, appeals to the simple, aforementioned truth that, while there are millions who know of Snooki, millions more actually ARE Snooki whether they know it or not.

The headline made me wonder. The reasoning is sound though.

Even sleazoids and crooks are coming to realize there’s no future even for them under a despotic tyranny.

The tanning tax is a tax applicable only to white people. Period. It was conceived and executed as such. They didn’t even try to hide it. Snooki is onto something.

I am going to go out on a limb and presume that most of the whiteys who use tanning beds most likely voted for 0bama. I hope they enjoyed screwing themselves.

Good article.

On a peripheral point, don’t people go to the “shore” to go out in the sun? Why would they need either “bronzer” or tanning booths, then?

“What is a ‘snooki’?”

It’s a nickname, so far as I know. Apparently “Walrus-ish, Herpes-Riddled Mental Midget” was already taken.

You could be wrong in your presumption - I know lots of conservatives who frequent tanning booths, although I am not among them. I think your average liberal might be afraid that tanning booth use might lead to cancer.

Is it basically that Obama is also losing the poor white vote? Good.

In fact ANYONE who is poor
or rich
or white
or black
or yellow
or a high school dropout
or college educated
or male
or female
or transgendered
or religious
or irreligious
or white collar
or blue collar
would be STUPID to support Obama AND the Democrats.

“don’t people go to the “shore” to go out in the sun”?

...tanning booths are for both status and an even, all over tan. “My tanning salon is...” equates to “My financial advisor is...” in her circle.

I have a different take on the tanning bed tax.

Remember during the campaign there was a charge against Sarah for having a tanning bed. This was explained by her as a necessity during the months long period of time when there was very little sunlight.

My guess is that O sought to punish Alaskans with this ludicrous meaningless tax by a petty vicious man.
