I have to say something more about Sarah Palin, our VP nominee and potential president of the United Sates.
I admit, I was saddened and then angered at the nation’s reaction to the naming of Palin for VP by John McCain. People were asking if his decision was stupid or brilliant and initially it seems the decision was pretty smart.
In talking with my friends, I asked if we as a nation are really that naïve, that shallow, that stupid. Do we vote on appearance; nice haircut and a nice ass?
McCain kept her in hiding so her true self could not be seen. He allowed only scripted appearances while his crew implanted all the rote answers she would ever need to know to all possible questions thrown at her.
Could he manufacture a VP robot that could fool all the people all the time?
We now know that one of McCain’s major reasons for picking her besides the fact that she was a woman and would satisfy all the dejected female Hillary supporters, was for her ultra right views on basically, all subjects and way right of even McCain himself.
I was buoyed lately when females that I spoke to suggested that they were also hockey moms and felt insulted by Palins nomination. They felt it was an insult to all women when they are picked for their looks and not their brains and abilities.
This financial crisis we are in has also caused voters to imagine Palin as president or for that matter, even McCain whose president allowed this to happen on his watch with his unwavering support.
Voters are also trying to imagine Palin as a president dealing with a nuclear Iran, re-emerging nuclear North Korea, a newly aggressive Russia and a re-energized al-Qaeda. She may be trained to give the right answers, wear the right hairdo and sport fancy glasses but who is Sarah Palin really and why are they so desperately trying to hide that person from us?
I don’t know Sarah Palin but the little that has trickled out but the fact that McCain is keeping her in seclusion means that he knows the real her not the marketed her and she is nowhere ready, if ever, to lead this country; McCain is counting on staying alive while in office so she never has to lead. That to me is absolutely unpatriotic and callous since it shows a total disregard for this country and its inhabitants.
