Governor Palin Investigation
August 29th, 2008 | by Papamoka |
When John McCain said it was going to be someone with the same positions and heartfelt convictions as he himself has it made me wonder how long he has wanted to be a woman when he named Governor Palin? That was harsh but something that made me go hmmm all day long. Then it hit me, one of her other qualifications is that she is under investigation, something McCain must have considered a must for anyone serving on his team. Come to think of it, lately it seems like being investigated is almost a prerequisite for being a Republican politician in Washington. That and the uncanny ability to deny everything and anything negatively thrown at you by an ethics committee.
Curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to see what the “Investigation” of Governor Palin was all about and this is just one of the items I found very interesting…

It seems to me that she has the Dick Cheney gene when it comes to abusing her powers as Governor in Alaska. Does that give her a kudos as a Republican VP contender or should it toss up a flare?
Then I’m looking into her “Experience” in government and I have to tell you the truth it scares the daylight out of me that John McCain just turned seventy-two today. Sarah Palin was a city councilor in a town with a population of 900, then Mayor twice in that same town, then became Governor of Alaska two years ago. When John McCain says that the job of the Vice President is to inquire as to the President’s health on a daily basis I thought he was kidding. Not only would Sarah Palin be checking on his health daily but the McCain White House would be inundated with concerned citizens sending in vitamins, cholesterol drugs, and every other health maintenance supplement. He was not looking for a Vice President per say when he picked Governor Palin, he was looking for a mother type figure to keep an eye on his actual freaking health. Well she has the mother type figure part down with five kids of her own. I can give her credit for that so far.
Speaking of children, if she is elected Vice President, who is going to take care of the baby that is now five months old? A baby that some in the press claim has Down Syndrome, do you think that the first Lady Cindy McCain could watch him?
This is going to be an interesting race…

She won’t get Hillary supporters; she has an embarrassing lack of credentials; she supported the ‘bridge to nowhere’ until it was not politically advantageous and then flip-flopped; and she will be the proverbial ‘heartbeat away from the oval office’. I held my breath the entire time Dan Quayle was #2. This is way worse. Look at her through non-partisan eyes and ask yourself if this is who YOU want as president.

M rountree ask:
“Look at her through non-partisan eyes and ask yourself if this is who YOU want as president.”
I say hell yeah, right after she serves her 8 years as President McCains veep she will make a damn fine president. Compare her to who the Dems are grooming, old Joe Biden. Plus she will break the sex barrier and be the first female Pres after being the first female veep.
It is funny though, when I read this line:
“She won’t get Hillary supporters; she has an embarrassing lack of credentials;”
I thought it was a misprint and you meant to say
HE won’t get Hillary supporters; HE has an embarrassing lack of credentials;
That would have made the comment about Obama spot on.

One must understand that republicans spend a great deal of time denying reality.
They say they are the party of less government while they interfere with private industry by preventing a company from testing for mad cow disease, interfering in the Terry Shrivo case, or eavesdropping on citizens.
They say they are the party of fisical responsibility while recording record deficits.
They say they are the party of national security while a record number of citizens have been killed on their watch.
They say the are the party of economic expansion while they have created the least jobs of any presidents( the last two actual decreased jobs).
Considering their record they have to run away from reality to continue to exist.
