I can see russia from my house
This SNL skit was hilarious. However, it has much truth in it. Sarah Pain is in no way like Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton, is a smart and very capable women. She has been a champion in women's health care. For example, in the 90's during her husbands presidency, she tried to get a universal health care bill passed. She was the first lady for eight years, and has been a great senator since. She gets alot of slack from people, but personally I think its because she is such a strong women who can compete with the "good ol' boys". Sarah Palin is nothing like this. I give Sarah Palin credit, she was a mayor and then a Governor. That is great, our political offices need more women. She has a great start to a career. Key word START. She is in no way prepared or experienced enough to be Vice President let alone President of the United States. She was a mayor of a city with 9,000 people. Then Governor of Alaska, ALASKA! Oh, did I mention Governor for a little more than two years. In this time she ran the state of Alaska, never really having any stances on any major issues. She is videotaped saying, "what exactly does a VP do everyday?". Hmmmm....So Mccain picks her which shows he is willing to put politics before the security of our country. It turned out well for him, people like her they can "relate" to her. Who cares if you can relate to her, can she run this country if, god forbid, something happened to John Mccain, which is a real possibility. She scoffs at Barack Obamas experience, ummmm let me do a little compare and contrast here.
Obama is a Harvard graduate and Palin is University of Idaho Graduate (WHAT?).
Obama served 8 Yrs in the Illinois Senate. Wheareas, Palin was the mayor of a city of 9,000. Obama serves as a United States Senator for four yrs. On the other hand Palin is a Governor of Alaska for less than two.
Okay, I know that Obama is running against Mccain and not Palin. But her scoffing at his resume and his community organizing get under my skin. She has the nerve to suggest she has more experience than him?
I truly in my heart am scared of what would result,if the Mccain/Palin ticket wins. Not only on a political level but on a security level. She is not ready, qualified, or experienced enough to be the President especially in a time of war. I shudder at the implications that would result if this were to happen. Also, If it were my candidate, I would find it very fishy and terrifying that they wont let Palin speak to the press. If they truly believed she was "ready" the press would have free reign like they do with ANY of the presidental or vice presidental nominee.
If you want to vote for Mccain please do so because you truly believe him and what he plans to do for this country. Don't do it cause you can "relate" to him or Sarah Palin. Our country is in to dire a place for this to be a personality competition.
