Sarah Palin… NOT qualified. (really?!?)

(CNN) – Prominent conservative columnist Kathleen Parker, an early supporter of Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, said Friday recent interviews have shown the Alaska governor is “out of her league” and should leave the GOP presidential ticket for the good of the party.

OK.  For me this has been a no-brainer from the start.  Me Palin is and was obviously a “tolken” choice.  That is to say, she was slected at the last minute not because she is in any way qualified (she is clearly not), but because she is a woman and Barack Obama didn’t choose a woman.  With Hillary looking like she was a shoe-in for the spot, the competition seemingly had to follow suite.  And now the GOP is starting to see the light.  The light that is quickly fading.  That fading light shows that Sarah Palin was the WRONG choice for the GOP V.P.

Ms Palin can’t give a straight answer on most anything, she gives answers that she clearly didn’t discuss with her party and she represents things that the GOP do not (like her family values).  I know, the people have spoken and they don’t liuke the fact that her family life has been brought to the surface.  Well, what do you expect when the person wanting to co-lead a nationm can’t even stand by her ideals.  And then when called out on it, she simply declares that her family position is not relevant for the general public.

When Charlie Gibson asked Sarah Palin if questions about her ability to balance work and family were sexist, her response electrified female voters in both parties.

“I’m part of a generation where that question is kind of irrelevant,” she said.

By dismissing the topic, Palin demonstrated the conservative values she brings to the McCain ticket, which have galvanized the Republican right. But many were infuriated by her remark, which appeared to slight family-friendly policies at a time when they could be getting significant attention.

Though Palin has yet to specify her positions on issues related to working families, it is expected she will follow the conservative Republican Party line…

And if anyone has done their homework, you will note that the goings on in the Palin household do NOT coincide with Mrs. Palin’s claims for the country.  I won’t go into the specifics.. you can look that up yourselves, however, know that the discrepencies are there and they are BIG!.

The McCain camp has to be sick to their stomach’s right about now.   The GOP.. and bunch of “good ol boys (and a girl…. with listick… a self-described “lipstick bitch”  [pitbull w/lipstick.. too damn funny])!

The Photo-Op Flop!

Posted in Economy, Politics tagged , , at 3:46 pm by wordblue

Wow. When you are pandering to become the next president of the U.S. of A. I guess “anything goes”.  Mr McCain has lost some more of that all important gray matter this week and appears to have taken on a “fuck it” mentality.

Hey guys, since the timing of this financial fiasco is going to plague my attempts to dupe the american people into voting for me, lets dupe the American people into voting for me!  You see, we’re going to  “stop” my campaign for a while.. no, no.. it’s just gonna be a few days at most.  Then Cindy and I are going to take a quick vacation.  It’s just a simple coincidence that we’ll be vacationing in DC.  And since I’ll be there anyway, I’m not coming back until our government agrees to my demands!  Then I’ll return to the campaign that I “postponed”, the people will worship me and I will be their omnipotent leader!!!  …oh shit.. gotta go debate!

A week-long photo-op at the time, of a national tragedy (following several others of sorts).  Political theater on an inappropriate stage. And it’s going to flop.

Politician…the new four-letter word.

Meanwhile, another bank fails and the change in my pocket will afford me less and less.  I say to all who will listen.  Take your money and get a safe… or some solid cardboard shoe box… and put your money there.  If it is going ot keep any value at all, it certainly will have more in your hand rather than in “the bank”.  If people in this country were smart, they’d start taking on a survivalist mentality.  At least to some degree.  If the collective whole of this country acted like we gave a damn, something close to a miracle could happen.  But instead, we are going to (you are going to.. I’m a “survivalists for dummies student” as we speak) drive the excessive amounts to get nowhere fast and then display intolerance at the price and the fat cats pockets unending swell.   Who is more to blame?  People like the incompetant Mr McCain, or us?
