If you think Palin is the right choice for VP read this:
I live in Alaska, as I believe most of you blogging here do not. There is the “Palin Image” and the “Palin Reality”. They don’t mesh. Trust me, the Dems would love Sarah Palin on the ticket because she would be SO EASY to discredit. Her extremely thin resume could be picked apart in minutes.
1. She is a RINO. She has managed to do more damage to our state’s economic future in such short tenure due to her extreme anti-industry attitude and policy-making than perhaps any prior governor. Business doesn’t want to do business with her. Newsweek has compared her to the likes of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez.
2. She has no private sector work experience.
3. She has a journalism degree which took her 5 years to complete. Bachelor’s that is.
4. She was the mayor of a town of around 3,000 people at the time and left the city in shambles economically, imposing a sales tax that did not exist prior to. Conservative?
5. She’s not a leader, she’s a populist. Everything she has done has been to please the masses, not do what is right for the good of the state long-term. For example, she recently proposed a $1200 energy payout for every individual living in Alaska to offset the high energy prices- another welfare program. Instead of taking the $1.2 BILLION this would cost and investing it in long-term alternative energy solutions she is bribing us with state money. Who wouldn’t love a governor who gives out free money? And where does this money come from? 90% of our state budget is funded from the oil industry. Guess who Palin despises? Big Oil.
6. She is adamantly “pro-life” yet she risked her son’s life recently by traveling back to Alaska from Texas after a self-promoting trip at 36 weeks with preterm premature rupture of membranes without seeking any medical care prior to travel. This is all documented in the April 22nd edition of the Anchorage Daily News (www.adn.com). The medical community here is outraged by her callousness and obvious lack of regard to her son, all for the sake of self-promotion. Never mind the potential for major inconvenience to the airline and the other passengers should a diversion been necessary. Please take the news article and show it to anyone with any obstetrical background and you’ll see what I mean. Just wait until the Dems get ahold of this information, and they will. None of it is secret. I guess to pro-life Palin fetal rights end at 36 weeks gestation.
Only a fool or a relative would want to see Palin on the McCain ticket. So all of you believers out there, which are you?
