Why this woman was picked in the first place is still amazing to me. How did McFossil pick her anyway? Was he at one of his seven houses, ******** *****, throwing a dart at a map of the US while blindfolded, and he hit Alaska?
I realize some people do not do well speaking in public, or with having to think on the fly. I am one of those people. I don't handle well speaking in front of even 15 of my classmates. But holy crap, when you are in the position of being granted the second highest position in American government, you had better DAMN well be able to be put on the spot, or at least not say something headline worthy EVERY time you open your mouth. We've been dealing with that for the last eight years....no way can I vote for the possibility, no matter how slight, of having to deal with someone who is even WORSE for four more.
This all boils down to personal responsibility, something that was lost in this country years back. What I mean by that is this. I am a student. If one day, Obama had walked into my class, pointed at me, and said that he wanted me to be his running mate, NO WAY IN HELL would I have accepted it. You have to decide what truly IS best for your country. That's what these two have been spouting off for months now, Country First. Really? I think Palin knew well enough deep down that there was NO WAY she is qualified for the job. I wonder if it even crossed her mind to politely say no thank you, I am honored, but am not right for the job. Personal responsibility, rather than the furthering one's own career or sense of accomplishment.
I am still stuck on her idiotic, misguided, inept, ridiculous answer to the possibility of fighting Russia. She thinks we can take on the bear? She would even CONSIDER it?
Seriously?
It's people like her that we as Americans should be frightened of. I mean that. How they come into a position of power and leadership in the first place is amazing to me......the prospect of them being granted MORE power on the global level is down right frightening.
Country first. Please. Which country? The parts that are pro-American? The parts that are not? If these two make it to the White House, are we all going to be subjected to their doctrine, four more years of the black or white mindset that you are with us or against us? Why is there no gray area?
I live my LIFE in the gray area, and most people in my circle do as well.
I love America. I love my home. I may travel and leave for periods of time, and fall in love with other parts of the world, but this is my home. I can't just sit idly by and listen to a long winded fool continue to feed the "elite" with comments that sound like they come from a loud mouthed bully in the sixth grade.
I love my home, and no matter WHERE I am here, from the plains of the midwest, to the Rockies and the Pacific, or out in the hustle and bustle of the Eastern seaboard, I love and am at HOME. I have heard enough of the stupidity that flows from someone's mouth in the White House already. I am tired of cringing when I hear these things, and wonder what the rest of the world is thinking.
We need someone to stand up and represent the rest of US, we who actually live and WORK here and help the wheels of this country turn, WE who think before we speak, WE who ARE America.
ENOUGH with the detached phonies who take huge pay raises and promotions, and treat all of us and the world stage like it is a game.
If you cannot cook, get the hell out of the kitchen.
