PALIN WINS!?!

Gov. Palin finaly won the beauty contest that she so desparately wanted.

If I hear one more comment from any pundit about her great smile, or seeming charisma I will know that we have fallen into that abyss that has enraptured the American public, known more commonly as “Reality TV”.

I need not remind you that this is a race for the most powerful position in this human world, not a beauty contest.  We elect our officials mainly, and hopefully, on the merits of their policies and grasp of the issues that face their constituants, so I hope that we as “Joe Six-Packs”, and “Hockey Moms”, really bad euphamisms by the way, are able to see through the lip-stick and see who understands what is really happening.

Gov. Palin managed to give a stump speech without a responding audience, and while I commend her for that, she was not able to speak about the specifics of anything, and if you read the transcript you will see that this is a truth.  On at least two occasions she said that we were working with the Iraqi government and Al Quaeda!?!?!?  Last time I checked we were trying to defeat Al Quaeda, with the Iraqi government. 

Just my observations…

Thanks for listening;)

Um, pick a side, any side…PLEASE!

No matter what side you are on, John McCain will make you feel like he doesn’t want you:

This is the full article, with 12 chapters:

Um, yeah:

So, it seems that John McCain has had a history of voting conveniently, as it suits his political goals.

So, why are people connecting with him?

Pressed to Oppression

It seems to me that if you claim to be of the people,s you should answer to the people:

one more added after original post:

After the CBS/Couric debacle, I can understand some of this, but she is the one turning into  paparazzi material. 

I believe in the freedom of speech.  I believe in the freedom of the press; therefore, I believe in the 1st Amendment, you know, that pesky document attached to The Constitution, the one seemingly shredded by the Bush administration.  that is what makes me mad when I hear anyone, yes anyone, is infringing on those rights.  So, when I hear about Obama’s campaign asking for no signs at a rally, I may raise an eyebrow, but when a political figure is not being made available to the press at the same rate as her running mate, or her opponents, I have to stand up and say, “Why?”

The easy answer is she has something to hide.  While I believe this to be true, Trooper-gate, Bridges and Roads to Nowhere, Cronyism, and potential book banning, to name a few, I smell something a little more juicy. 

She is dumb (slow to learn or understand; lacking intellectual acuity).

So, I ask the question now: How do we know she can handle being Vice-President?

But there are more basic questions that she needs to answer, and she has 37 days to step up and prove me wrong.

Thanks for listening;)
