AS A WOMAN I AM OFFENDED!
Here’s why:
I am offended that the Republicans and John McCain underestimate my intelligence as a woman. Sarah Palin is a cheap attempt to appeal to female voters.
I was really hoping that McCain picks Romney, instead he chose Sarah Palin. I was hoping to see a match between the Dem and Rep. SP alone has weakened the Rep position and acted as further proof that Republicans underestimate the intelligence of the American people.
I can imagine the long, drone out meetings that led up to the current choice. The discussions were surely heated. People had different favorites and each was justified in their own right. The fact that Hillary C was popular amongst women and blue collar workers came up quite a few times. Maybe more than a few times… That is why Sarah Palin seemed like such an obvious choice to the Rep party. She’s a woman and she’s from a blue collar town… (that happens to have oil that we desperately want to drill for).
Well THIS woman is not having any of it. Just because I share similar chromosomes with Sarah does not mean that we share the same values.
Sarah is a card-totin’ member of the NRA, is anti abortion and likes Moose Stew. She has 5 children named Bristol, Piper, Track, Willow, and Trig. Those names sound more like nicknames. “Trig” isn’t even complete… as if by her fifth child Sarah was too tired to fully name him/her. Maybe she was going to name him/her “Trigger” since she is an avid hunter? I don’t have the answer for that one… Anyway I digress.
Her qualifications consist of a few years as mayor of a small town of 9,000 people in Alaska and less than two years as governor of that state. The small town she left behind is now in financial ruin. This woman seems to have less experience than Obama, which was a major issue for the Republicans. Can Sarah take over as president if McCain dies of old age? Is this woman ready to lead a nation? McCain is 72. By the time his eight years are up he’ll be 80. Will he live to that ripe old age? Well maybe, we only need to look at Cheney — he is bionic.
She has no experience in politics as far as I know…. let alone international politics… has this woman ever left Alaska? Maybe she’s been to Paris — the one in Las Vegas that is.
McCain – may I recommend myself for VP status? At least I’ve lived in Europe… that qualifies as international experience. I’ve been to Israel… surely Lieberman (who lives in CT five minutes away from me) would approve.
PS: Lieberman… the CT Jewish Community is no longer recognizing you as part of the tribe. Your JCC card has been revoked. You are no longer a part of the tribe. You’ll also never make it in Hollywood.
Back to Sarah with an “h” though… she wants creation science to be taught in public school. Lets fix the US school system before we go ahead with that plan. Kids in public schools can barely read these days. One thing at a time lady.
I have to ask… what is up with her hair… she looks like a waitress at a truck stop. Maybe that explains the reasons of choice in regards to her children’s name. I bet she calls McCain “sweetheart”. I can’t relate to women with no choice of style. Michelle Obama has style. I can’t excuse Hillary’s pant suits though. She and Bill have enough money to hire a stylist and a tailor.
Back to Sarah with an “h”… can’t wait for Tina Fey to start doing Sarah impersonations on Saturday night live. SNL just got funnier with the Rep VP choice. I thank the Rep party for doing the impossible – making SNL funny again.
I am still mad. Don’t get distracted by the jokes.
Sarah is a hunter who is for drilling in Alaska… maybe through the corpse of a polar bear for all I know. Sounds like she wants to improve the economy of Alaska and I am all for that but there are different ways of going about it.
The final part of my rant is that SP is sending of one of her sons to go fight in the American war. I’ve stopped calling it the Iraq war a while ago. I think the new name is better suited for the situation. Well SP does have 5 kids. One of them must be disposable. It must be “Trig”. She doesn’t even love the kid enough to give it (he or she I do not know the names are androgynous) a full name.
Now ask yourselves… how can a mother send of her child to war. What does it say about the character of a mother that does so… I am sure it is a difficult decision at best. No mother wants to put her child in harms way. Does the family need money… after all is 30k worth giving your life for? A job at Starbucks pays as much and is less dangerous… surely in this day and age there are other options than war… Does Sarah’s family need money? It can’t be the money…
How can a mother send of her child to a war I ask… How does she sleep at night? Does she still have the right to be called “mother’?
YOU MIGHT BE A WOMAN SARAH PALIN BUT YOU ARE NOT LIKE ME.
Talk amongst yourselves… while we still have the freedom of speech… oh I think Sarah Palin is against that too (jk… kinda).
PPS: If anyone cares I am a registered independent and much to everyones dismay can not run for president since I was not born in the US. Never-the-less I value it’s freedom of speech and hope to one day run for congress/senate. This blog is going to come back and bite me I know it. No photos please. Go Biden!
