Please explain how Palin is a good VP choice. And I thought Hillary was bad…?
Posted by: | CommentsI am just in awe at how blindly and stupidly so many of the “christian” conservatives will follow whatever the Republican party throws at them.
Some of you want to talk about “morals” and “ethics.” Palin is both an unethical and immoral person. She is involved in two scandals in which she attempted to fire other government officials out of personal reasons. She is flat out lying to the nation in her speeches about her support for the bridge to nowhere (she was for it, before she was against it, that attack should sound familiar to you Republicans).
She is using her family for political gain and putting them in the media spotlight and then asks people not to talk about them. The VERY conservative voice Dr. Laura also dislikes that Palin is toting around her children for votes, coupled with the fact that she is shirking her duties as a parent.
She has NEVER issued an order as head of Alaska’s national guard (quick…the Russians and coming, the Russians are coming!).
McCain himself has criticized three of her many many earmarks she obtained for Alaska and Wasilla as objectionable spending. And, even though she got millions in earmarks for a small town that had never gotten any earmarks before she was mayor, she still left the town $22 million in debt–How’s that for managerial experience? (just like a “fiscal conservative” republican has let the national deficit grow to the largest in history. Wait, who was the last president to have a budget surplus… oh yeah… Clinton…a DEMOCRAT).
She has said that she believes our soldiers are in Iraq on God’s mission. Maybe, like Bush, she can talk to God in the Oval Office and let the Lord guide her decisions (because that has really really helped us so much under Bush). This is a democracy not a theocracy.
Even the REPUBLICAN leader of the Alaskan senate says that Palin is not even qualified to be governor much less VP or P: “She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?” said Green, a Republican from Palin’s hometown of Wasilla. “Look at what she’s done to this state. What would she do to the nation?”
She doesn’t have the experience of Obama. Less people live in Wasilla Alaska than in the stats senate district Obama represented for years. She has no foreign policy experience at all. Obama opposed the war from the beginning. And, she has said before that Iraq is a war about oil… so God’s work is about oil?
Please do not be a fool and blame the governor for the FEDERAL government’s lack of response during Katrina. Remember that Bush had appointed a FEMA director that was not qualified and had lied on his resume.
And for those of you who want to flaunt republican values and morals, here’s a compilation of polls, mostly from Gallup, showing that most Americans disagree with the Republican agenda.
Americans are pro-choice (67 percent)
Americans support the Geneva Conventions with regards to torture (57 percent)
Americans don’t want the government snooping in their bank and internet records (67 percent)
Americans support protecting the environment at the expense of economic growth (55 percent)
Americans believe that global warming is happening (86 percent)
Americans believe that it’s the government’s responsibility to provide health care (69 percent)
Americans support the decriminalization of marijuana (55 percent) and support the legalization of medical marijuana (78 percent)
Americans are opposed to attacking Iran (68 percent, according to a CNN Poll)
Americans support labor unions (60 percent)
Americans want government funding of embryonic stem cell research (56 percent)
Americans believe rich people and corporations aren’t paying enough taxes (66 and 71 percent respectively)
***There is just too much to keep talking about. This post is so long, but I still feel like I’m missing so much…The republicans have run this country into the ground and it is time for change. Obama-Biden 2008!
