After staying up late last night watching Barrack Obamas powerful acceptance speech. I was sleeping in a few extra minutes having a good dream when Peter woke me up with a cup of coffee and saying; Sarah Palin our pretty governor and former mayor of Wasilla, was John McCains V.P. Republican running mate? That was a lot to take in even while sleep was still clouding my brain. Super mom of 5, extremely conservative, enthusiastic hockey mom, very competent, beauty queen, lifetime member of the NRA (I call her miss goody two shoes with dirty bloomers). But now she has the potential to be the President of the Free World! Are living in bizarre-o-world?Ok, I've tried not to use my blog to vent my liberal political views, someone once called me a closet Democrat, but this is latest has brought me out-of-the-closet. Sarah represents more of the old paradigm, drill for more oil, and drill for more gold, use our resources for greedy gain until there is no more for anyone. Example in the primary election Alaskans were asked to vote on prop 4 which was a bill to protect Bristol Bay and the salmon streams from the toxic poison like cyanide that will be created by the new Pebble Mine. The prop was voted down, I felt as betrayed as when OJ got away with murder. Miss Palin spoke up that day and said she would vote no on the proposition 4 to protect the water saying she trusts the laws already in place. With an 89 percent approval rating she is a very popular lady and most people listen. Don't forget she is onboard with the war in Iraq and her oldest son enlisted.
I wonder if the rest of the US will see it for what it is; a feeble attempt for Republicans to jump on the theme of change and put a woman on the ticket. Did you notice how uncomfortable Mr. McCain looked during her speech and did you see how Cindy was discretely checking out her butt?
Oh please just don’t get me started ……………how bizarre, how bizarre.
