I'm confused by the following scenario:Fact: Republican VP candidate, Sarah Palin was found guilty, last Friday, of unlawfully abusing her authority, by firing the Alaska's public safety commissioner.
Fact: The Bush Administration have exhibited numerous acts of power abuse in the White House, which consequently, was a major contributor to the recent surge in the collapse of major financial institutions and instability of our economy.
Opinion: Wouldn't Americans (including conservative Republicans) grasp by now that the epicenter of our economic demise and decline in national morale ARE corrupt politicians who continue to rule unopposed and from a place of privilege (that privilege being uncontested nominations handed over by the people)?
I'm amazed when I see convicted government officials like Sarah Palin still spreading her political "I love small town America" BS to crowds and potential voters still accepting this as a legitimate political platform...enough to hold a seat in the White House.
To quote someone in today's NY Times:
“She’s intelligent, she’s adorable and she has the audacity to speak her mind,” said Ray Gilson of Corapeake, N.C., who attended the Virginia Beach rally. “I’ve never loved a politician like I love her. I want her to be president someday.”
Um...wha...? So if Miss Sarah continues to kiss enough small town American babies and preaches enough "Gee-whizims" from their church pulpits, she's in?
It's that kind of unexamined rhetoric that got us 8 years of George W. Bush folks.
If anyone out there in the red states care to examine the unexamined, start with Palin's interview with Katie Couric on foreign policy. Then think about the possibly of Sarah Palin negotiating foreign policy with neighboring countries with a low tolerance for Americans:
And on a lighter note:
