I finally watched Sarah Palin.
Aghast, pet bull with lipstick, indeed but not my shade.
What further got me was the lack of inclusiveness of the GOP Party.
I never saw more old white men in my entire life.
Will this work? After the disastrous eight years of George W. Bush, will it?
I don't know, but tend to think in the end, it won't.
Sarah Palin is a divisive, sock puppet, lightning rod. She said what she had to last night to energize the GOP base. She did that. I knew that she would, wrote about it on my blog.
Sarah Palin also laid out what the GOP will run on starting Friday, the politics of personality. This is what came out of McCain's Campaign Manager's Davis' mouth.
Why go down this road? Well, the Republicans won't win on the issues. It has been polled and they won't. McCain knows this. So, enter vitriolic Palin, who makes divisive comments to take the American public's mind off their problems and attempt to make it personality politics. This is the last card standing folks.
The problem with this is that it is not 2000 or 2004 and people out in this country are LEGITIMATELY hurting. They are losing the American Dream. They are being thrown out of their homes. Financial institutions are on shaky ground. Children are unable to afford college. People are losing their jobs at rapid speed. More on unemployment rolls that ever. Wages are being cut everywhere. Gas prices soaring. Food prices are soaring. Prescription medication is becoming unaffordable.
That laundry list above is growing, not shrinking. So, if you were the GOP what would you do? Make this a personality debate.
A couple of other thoughts before I wrap up.
The McCain Campaign want to make this Obama vs. Palin. Sorry, Barack Obama does not need to answer Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin has not won anything. She never campaigned in the lower 48 for any primary. She was appointed on a ticket with McCain, nothing more or less. Barack Obama is the Presidential Nominee for the Democratic Party. He is not running for Vice President. Any response to Palin needs to come from the Obama Campaign, not the candidate. This is what the McCain Campaign wants, a gutter fight of Obama vs. Palin.
Not happening. There will be plenty to dethrone Queen Palin and put her back in her place, but it won't be from Barack Obama.
Lastly, it is now time to call Sarah Palin a ball faced liar. It is time for the Obama Campaign to outline, lie after lie, and call the McCain Campaign on it. You can not continue to have lyin' Palin talk about a bridge to nowhere when she was behind it.
See putting a lipstick on a pit bull worked four years ago when the country was not tuned into what really happened with the Iraq War. It worked when many were not going through the hardships they are now. This is 2008, different time, and folks want answers.
It is our job to make sure that folks know the facts, not the myths, but the facts of the continuation of the Bush/McCain administration to avoid this ticket being elected.

Sarah Palin is a mouthpiece, plain and simple. She hasn't got a clue about anything outside of Alaska. The speech and all it's contents were provided for her by McCain's team of speechwriters. She is going to be totally out of her league when she has to respond to reporters off the cuff or debate Joe Biden where there may be ad hoc questions.
She and McCain showed they are willing to do anything to get elected when they convinced (or coerced?) the father of Bristol's baby, Levi Johnston, to be paraded around at the GOP convention. Now Levi is a pawn in a game for the highest stakes: the Presidency of the most powerful nation on earth! His freedom of choice has been totally taken away by McCain and the Palin family. At some point he may realize how he is being misused, probably after the election when the GOP no longer has any need for him.

"CUPBOARD" for people to see and fool people to hide this old guy
outdated experience misdeeds. This grand-pa John is a member of
senate from almost two decades. His experience is not able to do any
good to us. World is "globalising" and his outdated experience will not
be helpful. Countries of the world now trade with each other to raise
citizens standard of living and do "COMMERICAL WARS" and not
"MILITARY/NUCLEAR WARS" in which grandpa has got experience.
My request to grandpa is to give it up. Instead of grandpa serving us
let we now serve grandpa for his good to our country. Please
understand. Experience of grandpa is all negative expereince. Sarah
Palin is a cover up for all these.
