Well, ole’ Johnny has thrown us a curve ball.
I will admit Sarah Palin is a cutie-pie and that alone will sway some voters in the Republican direction but what else does she bring to the ticket and more importantly, what does McCain think she will bring to the ticket.
It was kind of embarrassing listening to McCain introduce his running mate. He talked about her husband winning some snowmobile race in Alaska, her being a soccer mom and having five kids, etc……….
If McCain dies in office, he is old and his father and grandfather both died of heart attacks, we will have a soccer mom standing up to the Russians, North Korea, Iran, etc…….. Does that make you happy? I think not!
McCain labeled her as a Republican “maverick” just like he is. Well, McCain was a maverick in 2000 when he stood up to Bush and his machine, stood up to the religious zealots and stood up to the anti-choice kook heads but in 2008, he is no maverick. He kissed Bush’s ass for eight years, has now found religion and is a fierce anti-choicer; you ain’t no maverick no mo….
Palin may be a somewhat of a maverick judging by her short record in public office. She took on her own party over corruption and won but what else? She joined the City Council of a town with 8,000 people and then ran for mayor. She ran for governor of a state that has fewer people than Detroit – like I said, she is a cutie-pie.
She is a prolific child producer with the last one with Down’s syndrome which she refused to abort calling it a miracle from god. To bring a child into this world knowing that it will have a miserable, painful life is not doing that child a favor but the religious nuts and anti-choicers will brand her a saint.
She hunts and fishes; an outdoors kind of woman the NRA loves and is a Dick Chaney kind of girl.
It all boils down to the media spin machine and how gullible is the American voter. The media will portray her as a fresh, young, not from Washington person as opposed to Joe Biden who has spent his life in Congress. On the other hand, Biden has 30 years experience in world politics and is known to most world leaders while Palin has two years as governor of a state with less than 1 million in population.
We will know more about Sarah Palin in the coming weeks and if McCain made a wise choice or made a mistake but for me McCain countered his own claim of experience to Obama’s lack of experience by choosing a potential U.S. president with absolutely no experience. She would make a very pretty president though….prettiest in our history I would say…
