Sarah Palin??? Who IS she??? Governor of Alaska for less than two years???
Yes, she is John McCain's running mate. It's great that the Republican party has elected the first female candidate for vice president. However, that feat is overshadowed by McCain's main argument against Obama: that he is too inexperienced. Yet McCain not only just elected someone who is extremely inexperienced as well, but she is governor of Alaska, which has a population of 700,000. No offense Alaska, but of all the states to govern, I can't imagine that yours is the most difficult.
"While it's a dramatic and interesting choice, it would make the argument he's making difficult to make," said a McCain adviser.
McCain is trying to attract women voters. That's fine, except that Palin is a devout Christian and is pro-life. Just because I'm a woman voter does not mean I am pro life, and I'm sure I can say that for most women voters out there.
Additionally, McCain and Palin have opposing environmental issues. McCain supports off-shore drilling, while Palin supports drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve. Which is in her own state of Alaska. I find that kind of wrong.
What ever happened to church and state being separate? The fact that she is Christian should not affect her politics, especially when it comes to abortion rights.
"People see her as the symbol of purity in an atmosphere of corruption," says Anchorage pollster Marc Hellenthal. "She's more like Saint Sarah."
Saint Sarah? Don't make me throw up.
Don't forget Margaret Thatcher was unheard of, not much foreign policy experience...
ReplyDeleteShe changed England from a dying economy to the dynamic economy it is today...
Bill Clinton..he was young and inexperienced once also
It is all about new blood and new ideas. Palin has more going for her than Obama.
