Sarah Palin?

To those who are reading this blog, you have probably thought to yourself, "What was John McCain thinking when he picked this inexperienced nobody governor from Alaska." I know I have. Really, if it wasn't for all of the conservative media outlets portraying her as a prepared maverick reformer, her and McCain would be done. I have given it some thought and I think I know why John McCain picked Palin. He thought he could find a woman who served merely as an icon. He wanted a family- values, good-willed, political puppet who was untouched by the scandals of Washington. He chose someone who could appeal to families and conservatives who advocate local government. He chose someone so generic, so appealing to interest groups and values voters who go to the poling place with her superficial characteristics in mind. 

What is so great about an outsider to national politics who wants thinks that a bailout will help the interests of health care reformers. Seriously, does anyone ever watch her interviews? I know its one thing to not be great at interviews, but she doesn't know dirt to back up what she preaches. If you watch the interviews, notice how she answers questions. She does something like this: She starts by kissing the asses of conservatives for local government, "Well, as a mayor of a town and later, a governor, I think it should be a state's issue." She then goes onto talking about, "As a hockey mom that also works a hard job, I really connect to pro-life voters." When asked about Roe v. Wade, she mentions the role a state should have and then talks about how smart and wise Americans are in their foundations, for a majority of her response. She then can't even name another supreme court decision that she disagrees with. She only appeals to every issue on the conservative platform for the time being, but doesn't even know why. 

Now, I appeal to you because I am scared. I agree with a lot of people that she is a nice lady but she seems like she is more cut out for president of the PTA, not president of the United States. And for those who want to vote for her because she'll only be the VP, don't believe it. John McCain is old, unhealthy, and on plenty of serious medication. She can't even handle a basic interview, let alone the nation when called upon. So what kind of maverick- reformer is she? To me, it sounds like she's calling for everything that George Bush and staunch conservatives want. She only says that to appeal to people who want serious change in the presidency which has recently brought us economic ruin. If she can't even back up the lies that she gives us, what does that say about her as a potential president?
