Re: Explain - It's about Sarah
This thread is titled SARAH PALIN - My kind of gal! If there's giddyness shining through, it's primarily about Sarah not reaching the White House more than Obama being elected. And maybe a tad of arrogance about getting it "right".
I'ved changed my mind and decided I can't vote for McCain because he selected Sarah Palin as his running mate. She's not qualified - pure & simple, and I won't contribute to placing her in the White House. My posts began in the effort to let some forum member's know she was another crooked politician when it became clear to me that she fired her Commissioner of Public Safety (a guy she hand picked 18 months earlier), in an act of revenge and abuse of power in order to get back at her ex-brother-in-law, who's been separated from Sarah's sister for about three years now. Later, a special investigator hired by a unanimous vote of the Alaska Legislative Panel responsible for keeping the Governor honest confirmed what I had already told forum members about. I don't need a vengeful woman in the White House who's willing to ignore Alaska Statutes, or Federal Law, while abusing her elected authority to settle scores with citizens of this State, or Country. Furthermore, I give her no credit for smarts because 1) she wasn't smart enough to execute her plan without getting caught, and 2) she never did get rid of the louse. A failure on both counts. Lots of politicians do some crooked stuff. The smart ones don't get caught and deserve to keep their jobs. The less smart ones get caught and demonstrate (to me) that they don't have the smarts to be in the business.
I also voiced my opinion that based on this woman's past experience, she was no way qualified for the position of V.P., let alone the Presidency should John McCain die in office.
Yes it all goes against the grain of a pro-gun forum because the Democrats have a history of coming after our guns. So you and others are understandably concerned. But in my mind, what it predominantly came down to was my inability to support the Republican ticket for the White House with ladybird Sarah on the ticket, more than a strong felt desire to see Obama/Biden in the White. Once Colin Powell came to know more about the lady, he made the correct decision also. It didn't take very long for Saturday Night Live to get it. I don't understand other's inability to see she's not up to it, or their willingness to ignore that fact.
If you're read my posts you already know that I consider the Bush Administration to be the worst I've experienced in my lifetime. An Administration that couldn't have screwed things up any worse if they tried, and couldn't have accomplished their miserable track record without the support of their Republican Senators and Congressmen/women.
In Alaska, Senator Ted Stevens (R) was just convicted of 7 felony charges. Guilty on all counts. Congressman Don Young (R) is also being investigated and has used a bundle of politically donated funds to hire attorneys. He may or may not get caught, but he's guilty too. Several Alaskan State legislators have already been convicted of political crimes. More are still under investigation by the FBI, and I expect more convictions.
You may vote Republican until they run the country into the ground and I respect your choice. I'm not. This will be the first time in my life I vote Democratic across the entire ballot. I voted early and already did so. The only reason I could think for anyone to vote Republican in this election is if they wanted to send a message to the Republican Party and Republican candidates for the next four years that Bush did a bang up job over the past 8 years, and let them know that they support and desire more of the same. Do you remember Bush's statement after winning his second election? He said I've earned some Political Capital and I intend to spend it. He certainly did. He completely wasted it and took the country down with his ineptitude. What do you think gets politicians' attention besides money? It's the threat of losing their job at the government pig trough. The vote of the American public is the only way to send a message that enough is enough, and I'm somewhat sorry to say, that's going to happen on Tuesday. I'm also somewhat sorry to say things got so bad that it needed to happen. However I'll be glad when it sends Sarah back to Alaska. That'll give her plenty of time to finish the job of routing her no-good ex-brother-in-law out of the State Troopers.
But most importantly, it will keep her out of the White House.
But I'm going to miss her on Saturday Night Live. Pretty funny stuff. And sadly... true.
Well that's the gist of it. The Executive Summary.
Phorwath---please explain what makes you so giddy about Obama winning this election. I have been reading your posts and just cannot understand why anyone who is on this forum can hold such a strong opinion of Obama. Is this just about being "right" in your predictions?
