Palin Has No Shame...

Or sense of decency. Palin still hangs in the race but that's probably a good thing as it wouldn't look any better for McCain if he dumped her at this late juncture to pick up the person he originally wanted as a running mate and that was Joe Lieberman.

Still, I can't help to wonder what Palin thinks she's doing. I tell you one thing, she is bold and has guts but a Vice President it does not make. The recent VP debate proved only that she's gutsy as she stood their responding with scripted, peppered answers with her little cutesy winks in between. I watched as my mouth gaped open with the 1st wink and after that all I can think about is this woman trying to give male Americans a cheap thrill. Sarah, girlfriend, you need to put away those winks and 3 inch spike heels you wear that scream hussy if you hope to have a remote chance of being taken seriously. Is that a sexist thing to say? No. It's not. Why? She needs to present herself in way of what she represents. You know the adage, "dress for the job".

According to this morning's news flash in my email, "they" are saying that although Palin abused her power as Governor with Troopergate, she didn't break any laws. Huh? Did I miss something. You know what, she can't have it both ways. In the real world, that's not how it works. Lets see...hmmm, she abused her power but didn't break any laws. It doesn't add up to me but then again, I could be wrong. It's a head scratcher, isn't it.

Lets go over it.... Palin used her power as governor to fire Commissioner Walt Monegan because he refused to knuckle under her and Todd (why does Todd have any authority is another question that needs to be asked but that's a side discussion) by getting rid of Trooper Woten. Ok - by accounts Woten is a loose canon BUT the reason behind Palin's vendetta was the messy divorce thing going on between Palin's sister and Woten. Hence, Palin used her authority as the Governor to fulfill a personal objective which in sum means, she overstepped boundaries, abused her power and broke the law. Ok. I think I got it in a nutshell.

If that doesn't make it bad enough, Palin is using rallies to stir up hate and racism toward Barack Obama. Are politicians who are in office to serve the people suppose to stir up and divide the very citizens they claim to represent? Further, she's taking serious shots aimed at Obama based solely on his race and his middle name with nothing to back up her alleged claims. Barack Obama is not a Muslim and if he were a Muslim is that something to hold against him? I think not. Muslim doesn't equate terrorist and people really need to wake up and get off that track because it's a slippery slope. Palin is firing up the masses with this rhetoric by tying all Muslims to terrorists and further saying that Obama has terrorist ties. That is just plain nuts!

Gosh, darn! I hope you're not buying into the McCain/Palin spin machine. And, you betcha, all politicians need to be held to a higher standard. I expect the persons who will serve to run our country to have integrity and a strong intellectual capacity. McCain might have been all right if he were a bit younger, healthier and made better choices. He might of been a good choice if he had shown fortitude by making a better decision for a VP. However, that ship has longed sailed and McCain is now in the position to defend Obama because his VP crossed some serious lines in the recent rallies with inappropriate messages.

Palin can't seem to help herself and that's reason enough. McCain has to clean up after his VP by telling the American people, Obama is trust worthy and is a good man. Honestly, I already have that high opinion of Obama. I knew that which is why Obama has my support.
