Sarah Who?

Proving once again that even Republicans don't believe their own talking points, after six months of attacking Barack Obama for allegedly not being experienced enough to be President of the United States, John McCain selected the least experienced Republican in the entire country to be his VP. Either that or she actually is the most qualified Republican in the country and I never realized just how bare the GOP cubbard was.

The idea that this woman could actually be a heart-beat away from running the country is downright terrifying. She's been governor of one the least populated states in the union for 18 months and is already being investigated for a firing scandal involving State Troopers.

As upsetting, the choice of Sarah Palin is a blatant insult to the intelligence of every woman across this country. The idea that women, Hilary Clinton supporters in particular, would vote for McCain simply because he put a woman on the ticket, irrespective of how bad she may be, is a slap in the face. At the end of the day, Republicans still don't get women voters: they think your dumb-asses. Palin isn't even the most qualified Republican woman; Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Olympia Snowe, and a dozen others are infinitely more qualified. Palin's only qualification seems to be that she's cute; again, the Republican's view of all women. That and she likes killing animals, moose to be exact. This is insulting. It's a gimmick.

If god forbid, McCain gets elected and even worst he died in office, does anyone actually think this person is ready? Putting aside her complete lack of experience, accomplishment, or anything else, let's discuss her positions on the issues. Palin wants to ban abortion even in the case of rape or incest. She wants to drill for oil everywhere and anywhere. She has said she really hasn't spent much time "following" the Iraq war. How in god's name do you not "follow" the war that's killed thousands of Americans??? It's not like missing this week's American Idol, it's been going on for six years.

In truth, Palin's appointment proves just how little chance his campaign really has. He saw very well that the choice of a Romney or Liebermann would do nothing to help him catch up and win. So John McCain had to roll the dice and take someone, anyone, who "might" upset the balance and shake up the campaign. If nothing else, it's certain shaken that up.
